Researcher's Information
Biological and Physiological Engineering / Engineering in Medicine and Biology
We have been devoted to biological and physiological engineering. We have five main themes, 1) Development of biomedical sensors, 2) Healthcare monitoring, 3) Brain machine Interface and 4) Development of Sports instrumentation. Additionally, Dr. Shima Okada is an expert on sleep research. We should approach the sleep monitoring with the ambulatory, unconsciousness, noninvasive and long-term monitoring in daily life. Newly critical sensor has to be developed. We focused on the relationship to assess the sleep quality and investigated the body movement measurement technique using video analysis. We successes to monitor sleep stages only using the body movement date obtained from this technique. We applied this technique for assessment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) therapeutic efficacy. Apply our technologies for clinical and commercial products. Many of our research area include sleep, but not are limited to only sleep research. Our research key words are Medical, Welfare, Healthcare, Sports and so on.

We propose an advanced motion classification method combined arm-shapechanges with sEMG to classify the detailed motions which is difficult motions to classify using only sEMG signals and to improve the classification accuracy of various hand motions as compared with previous methods.
