Abstract

 

Because Japan is the clear top runner of aging society in the world, we need to decrease medical cost and increase labor productivity before 2025 when all baby boomer bone right after WW2 will accomplish 75 year-old or elder. We have conducted disease management product since 2004 in Japan, to increase cost/effectiveness of medical service. From this experience, we applied it in villages and factories in Bangladesh by sensor and mobile network for more than 16K subjects in unique number in 2012-2014. We also have conducted experiments to know nurse movements in hospital wards by sensors in order to make it efficiently from 2011, because the number of nurse is the largest in medical staffs (about 2M) in Japan. We could grasp all movement of nurse staffs (n=35) for all inpatients (n=118) in a ward for 24 hours X 40 days. I would like to explain how we have done these and how we should spread this kind of big data analysis to homecare field in the symposium.
