Our laboratory is conducting research focusing on behavior change. People have habits in their lives, and changing habitual behavior is not an easy task. However, when asked if it is okay to keep it as it is, I think there are times when I think it is better to change it for the sake of my own health and the future of the earth. Our laboratory focuses on lifestyle-related habits that we want to change but cannot easily change, and we are supporting people's behavior to gradually improve by incorporating the concept of behavior change. Long-term continuation is essential to provide such intervention support. Therefore, we are focusing on smartphones that most modern people carry on a daily basis, and are working on the development of automatic support systems that use smartphones as a medium.

Our Research

Building a low-carbon traffic behavior change model through a parallel approach to health and the environment
From the perspective of global warming, the proper use of private cars has been advocated for many years, but most of the movement is still dependent on cars, especially in local cities. Until now, many measures have been taken for the purpose of proper use of automobiles in various places, but it is extremely difficult for residents of local cities to move by means other than automobiles. , It has become clear that the use of automobiles is not easily curtailed. This project regards the excessive use of private cars in local cities as "inappropriate lifestyle" and aims to gradually improve lifestyle.
