Message from the program director (PD)

Well-Vitality PD:Kumi Kuroda

Everyone begins life as a baby, growing up under family care. As we grow, we support one another in families, workplaces, and communities, and eventually grow old. To support diverse forms of fulfilling lives throughout these stages, researchers from various fields have come together under the Visionary Initiative “Well-vitality.” Their work spans diverse areas—from extending cognitive capacities in aging brains to creating advanced technologies that help even those less physically inclined enjoy sports and foster mental and physical well-being. My goal is to provide real-life childcare support through neuroscience and information technology. By bringing together these efforts, we aim to help realize the future envisioned by this initiative. Please look forward to what's to come.
