Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research considered development of the support device which creates the healthcare setting which can evoke a sympathetic response from each other by paying an attention to the synchronization of a nurse and a patient, in order to tell the "tacit knowledge" in nursing and medical art. As a result, a heartbeat rhythm was effective in the rise of the alpha-waves content in brain waves, and a respiratory rhythm was effective in inducement of synchronization. Moreover, it also turned out that a robot has a possibility of becoming a promising synchronous inducement device. The development of a concrete education system based on these examinations is future subjects.
