On Thursday, April 7, Kanagawa Governor Kuroiwa visited the ME-BYO House Lab inside the ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ Co-evolutionary Housing (Co-evo House).
The ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ Co-evolutionary Housing Project has been engaged in a research collaboration with the ME-BYO House Lab Project, an initiative of Kanagawa Prefecture, since 2015. Led by Yasushi Ikeda (Professor, Graduate School of Media and Governance), the ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ project conducts demonstration experiments to develop housing technologies that contribute to reducing environmental impact by acquiring and analyzing experimental data on environmental performance in actual living conditions.
The ME-BYO House Lab Project is based on the concept of monitoring health conditions in daily life, the so-called "visualization of ME-BYO (pre-symptomatic disease)."
Despite the rain that day, the inspection took place inside the comfortable Co-evo House.
Yasushi Ikeda (Professor, Graduate School of Media and Governance), Keisuke Uehara (Associate Professor, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies), and Masato Date (ME-BYO House Lab Advisor) explained the concepts of the Co-evo House and the ME-BYO House Lab, and the governor inspected the beds, toilets, and other equipment installed in the rooms that can measure health data.
