On Thursday, April 7, Kanagawa Governor Kuroiwa visited the ME-BYO House Lab inside the Keio Co-evolutionary Housing (Co-evo House).
The Keio 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 Keio 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.
