先端技術見学が開催されました/We had a virtual field trip to learn about advanced technologies.

今回は各地域のテーマの枠を一度離れ、3人の講師の方にお越し頂き、先生方の取り組みに関して貴重なお話を頂きました。全地域合同での開催ということで交流会も行われ、他地域GIPメンバーとのコミュニケーションの良い機会にもなったと思います。

ご講演① 　MBT担当教授　細川洋治先生
ご自身の学生時代のお話をはじめとして、医学を基礎とするまちづくりという新たな概念で行われているMBTの取り組みに関してご講演頂きました。多種多様な分野におけるご活躍のお話は驚きの連続でした。

ご講演②　筑波大学国際統合睡眠医学研究機構機構長・教授　柳沢正史先生
睡眠の量と質の重要性や、睡眠不足による悪影響、睡眠の謎に関して具体的なデータを織り交ぜてご講演頂きました。課題解決を考える上での学びを得られたご講演でした。

ご講演③　株式会社ナノエッグ　代表取締役社長　山口葉子先生
オリジナリティーにこだわる株式会社ナノエッグでの取り組みに関してご講演頂きました。人のQOL向上を目指すペルソナに寄り添った取り組みの大切さを実感しました。

In this program, we had three lecturers come to give us valuable talks on their approaches regardless of the themes we tackle in projects in each region. As the event was held jointly in all regions, there was also a social gathering, which was a good opportunity to communicate with GIP members in other regions.

Lecture 1: Dr. Yoji Hosokawa, Professor of MBT

He spoke about his own experiences as a student and what MBT does in the new concept of community development based on medicine. The stories of his activities in various fields were full of surprises.

Lecture 2: Dr. Masashi Yanagisawa, Professor and Director of International Institute for Integrative Sleep Medicine, University of Tsukuba

He talked about the importance of quantity and quality of sleep, the negative effects of lack of sleep, and the mysteries of sleep, using concrete data. In the lecture, we learned lots of important things in problem solving.

Lecture 3: Dr. Yoko Yamaguchi, President and Representative Director, Nanoegg Inc.

She gave a lecture on the efforts of Nanoegg Inc. that is thoroughly particular about originality. We realized that it is important to sympathize the persona in improving QOL of people.
