今年度公表された科学技術・イノベーション白書では、人文・社会科学の 「知」と自然科学の「知」を融合した「総合知」を活用し、インクルーシブ な社会や一人ひとりの多様な幸せの実現が提唱されており、その実現に向け た具体的な活動が求められている。
本取り組みでは、一本指でメロディを奏でると伴奏とペダルが自動で追 従して美しい音色が響くことで、誰でも華麗な演奏を体験できる自動伴奏 機能付きのピアノ「だれでもピアノR」を開発。本ピアノは障害のある児 童・生徒の音楽教育現場での活用の他、健康寿命延伸と認知機能維持効果の 検証に向けたパイロット研究を推進。継続的な練習により高齢者の QOL の 向上効果が確認されており、福祉・医療器具化も目指している。
また、低遅延で MIDI 演奏情報をオーディオ機器につなぐ技術の応用によ りオンラインによる遠隔演奏も実現。今後は専用アプリの開発により、活用 可能な楽器や機器、活用シーンの拡大を目指している。
なお、このグループにはグループリーダーとして関わり、プロジェクトを実施した。

<p>In recent years, robotic pets have been used by many countries worldwide as a method for treating behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). The seal robot PARO was loaned intermittently to a distributed layout elderly housing with services over a seven-month period, during which it was observed that three residents with cognitive dysfunctions showed improvements in their BPSD and the nursing care load of the staff was reduced during the periods when PARO was present. The objective of this study is to investigate, through a case study, the effects of intermittent interaction with PARO on those with cognitive dysfunctions and the staff workers. The short version of the Dementia Behavior Disturbance Scale (DBD-13) was used as the medical outcome index, and the KJ method was used to analyze the qualitative data, such as staff reports and interviews. The results show that the DBD-13 total scores reduced during the periods when PARO was present and increased during the periods when PARO was absent. The KJ method yielded similar findings. The use of DBD-13 and the KJ method complemented the results of each other and increased the persuasive power of the findings. By using the KJ method, it was further determined that the workload of the staff was reduced, allowing them to recuperate, which reconfirmed the value of PARO. Further case studies will be undertaken in the future with the aim of constructing a methodology for implementing case studies.</p>
