| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Temperature control is from 5 ° C to 45 ° C. The stimulation range was 12 mm in diameter, and it was found to stimulate about 2 to 3 warm sensations and 8 cold sensations. As a result of the experiment, it was found that those suspected of having the disease were more insensitive to temperature stimulation than normal persons. The function capable of measuring the temperature of the examination site is incorporated in the device, and stimulation of the optimum temperature is possible. The vibration sense probe is a vibration generation mechanism with an electromagnetic coil, and generates the same frequency 128 Hz as the tuning fork, and its usefulness has been confirmed in experiments for healthy people. It is also possible to generate modes in which the vibration amplitude is gradually increased. The tactile stimulation probe is capable of stimulating a site such as a wound due to the non-contact type of wind pressure stimulation.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
定量的な刺激を与えることが可能な本研究成果の将来像として、外来診療やリハビリテーション診療の医療現場での病状の診断や回復度合いおよび治療効果の確認などを目的とするスクリーニング検査化に有効と考える。スクリーニング検査では準備に手間を掛けずに操作が容易で，しかも被験者に時間的，体力的な拘束を強いらないことが求められる。本技術を使った診断法が確立されれば，スクリーニング検査の一つの標準形となると予想される。研究成果として論文1件、海外ジャーナル1件、紀要1件、学会発表数件を実施。シーズ発表会等などで実用化に向けてのアプローチも行ったが実現までには至っていない。
