Researches on the Humanitude (TM): ‘tender’ nursing interaction

We studies on the “Humanitude (TM)” which is a “tender caregiving” technique originated in France, such as
a) Quantification of caregiving skills using wearable sensors and artificial intelligence (AI),
b) Understanding the emotional and cognitive mechanisms of “gentle caregiving” by measuring brain activity,
c) Understanding of the emotional-cognitive mechanism of “gentle caregiving” by measuring brain activity, and
d) Development and quantitative evaluation of a caregiving skill training system developed by XR (AR, VR)
Moreover, we are promoting the system in cooperation with actual medical education sites and fields, such as the Faculty of Medicine at Okayama University, medical and nursing departments at other universities, and nursing care facilities.
