项目摘要

Today the aging of our society is one of the most important topics in the world. In this study, international survey on technologies to support the life and living of elderly people had been done, to clarify appropriate ways of international cooperation.The survey had been done in the North America, Europe and China. In medical engineering field, less/minimum invasive surgery was the most hot topic. Great number of studies had been done in many countries on application of medical images, optical scopes, surgical planning and surgical robots. We found that it was needed to establish the guidelines to avoid accidents in clinical evaluation of such surgical robots.In the field of rehabilitation engineering, rehabilitation robotics was one of the most expected areas. In addition, researchers had studied on application of multimedia communication to support elderly and disabled people living in their own home. Though virtual reality was newly available technology, several studies had done to motivate disabled children to perform their rehabilitation program. What we found was the great significance of needs analysis to develop products which were truly effective. To deliver appropriate products, we need to evaluate the quality of life of the user. Since there were no established methods to evaluate, researches on this topic had been doing specially in Nordic countries. We must study our own method to evaluate the quality of life in the Japanese life style which is apparently different from European ones.We concluded as follows ; the most important key technology is robotics. In this field, Japan can contribute greatly to international cooperation in the future. In development of products, safety should be considered sufficiently. To achieve safety, standardization work would be needed and Japan must be the most active country in the work.

当今社会的老龄化是世界上最重要的话题之一。在这项研究中，对支持老年人生活和生活的技术进行了国际调查，以明确国际合作的适当方式，调查在北美、欧洲和中国进行。在医学工程领域，微创外科是最热门的话题。许多国家在医学图像、光学显微镜、手术规划和手术机器人等方面的应用方面进行了大量的研究。在康复工程领域，康复机器人是最受期待的领域之一。此外，研究人员还研究了如何应用多媒体通信来支持住在自己家中的老年人和残疾人。虽然虚拟现实是一项新技术，但已有几项研究旨在激励残疾儿童执行康复计划。我们发现，需求分析对于开发真正有效的产品具有重要意义。为了提供合适的产品，我们需要评估用户的生活质量。由于没有既定的方法来评估，这方面的研究一直在做专门在北欧国家。日本人的生活方式与欧洲人的生活方式有着明显的不同，因此，我们必须研究自己的生活质量评价方法，得出以下结论：最重要的关键技术是机器人技术。在这一领域，日本今后可以为国际合作作出巨大贡献。在开发产品时，应充分考虑安全性。为了实现安全，需要进行标准化工作，日本必须是这项工作中最积极的国家。
