Research Projects

Based on the tripartite relationship between people, tools, and society, our aim is to elucidate the characteristics and mechanisms of "human intellectual activities in everyday situations." Our research mainly takes place in fields such as cognitive psychology, cognitive science, human interfaces, and information design, with information technology and communication, and the quality and safety of healthcare being our recent central themes.

• Risk-sharing communication in nursing settings
• Doctor-patient communication in the examination room
• Life log and monitoring system for community healthcare
• Development and evaluation of educational tools for childhood cancer survivors
• Information sharing and communication through medical information systems
• Usability of information devices for the elderly
• Communication support system for deafblind individuals (and those with multiple disabilities)
• Environmental perception and metacognitive characteristics in communication for deafblind individuals
• Metacognitive characteristics in communication
• Activities in an open learning environment
• Awareness of safety and security when using mobile media

The appeal of research

We visit various locations, analyze them from a cognitive psychology perspective, and capture the reality of the situation. We understand people's cognitive characteristics and develop technologies and systems to help and support them. In short, our research is about making people happy.
