Mental and Physical Well-being (MPW) Research Center by Multi Sensing

• Return to Project List

Summary

Well-being is qualitative and not quantified in the world. We study how to quantitatively visualize qualitative language such as stress and emotions of people who are thought to be related to well-being. In particular, human beings are expected to have more people going to space within a few years, but when people's lives change, the well-being of the earth and space is considered to be completely different. In particular, even at present, it is difficult to define well-being, and the current situation is that we have not even created an index that can be used as a basis for consideration. Therefore, in this research center, we will visualize the hormonal state as one of the indicators when considering well-being, and establish a method to grasp the state of mind by the state of hormones (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin). In addition, we will challenge the visualization of hormone states in outer space, and examine algorithms that can examine well-being indicators constructed on the ground in both outer space and ground.
