Epidemic of Obesity Communicable ? • Yes and No • Global status report on noncommunicable diseases (NCD) 2010 This report … particular attention … in low- and middle-income countries, which … bear nearly 80% of the burden from diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. The health consequences of the worldwide epidemic of obesity are also addressed. A large percentage of NCDs are preventable through the reduction of their four main behavioural risk factors: tobacco use, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol and unhealthy diet. (“Forward” from Dr Margaret Chan, Director-General, World Health Organization)
Obesity: Fat Burning with Joy Mobile phone vibrates when enter aerobic-exercise state Body Area Network (BAN) Glimpse fat –burn amount Beautiful posture From Assoc. Prof. , Masatsugu Niawayama, Shizuoka university • Tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) is used to know whether entered aerobic-exercise state • Measure de-oxidationized hemoglobin / oxidized hemoglobin by StO2 sensor • Compute fat-burn grams from consumption calorie by 3-axis accelerometer when entered aerobic-exercise state
Obesity: Essential Amino Acids Wooden bucket theory Balance in Essential amino acids Cannot use for protein composition! Cannot use for protein composition! Energy pooling as fat histidine isoleucine leucine lysine threonine methionine From Prof. Osamu Tochikubo, Medical School, Yokohama City University Nutritive value is decided by lysine and other excessive amino acid is accumulated as discharge or fat

Real Technologies for BAN Portable Clinic Unstable power supply and batteries may not be charged Data transfer via cell phone may not be available Limited space/location is available in setting up the clinic User-friendly interface for examiners
The QoL-SN Council is Working www.qolsn.org Promote and help in providing really usable experimental systems, such as health-check KIOSK in disaster-stricken area, BAN portable clinic and others
M2M Service Platform M2 service platform ITU-T Focus Group is working on Healthcare M2M Healthcare M2M platform is an enabler of affordable BAN portable clinic because of sharing backend resources In the near future, large number of sensors are used for NCDs protection To keep Quality-of-Service, sensors require simple-and-cheap identification, such as PUF (physically unclonable function)

Conclusions andRecommendations • Non communicable diseases are common issues in the world and can be reduced by preventive medicine using easy-to-use technologies with open standards • The first medical BAN standard IEEE02.15.6 is introduced for medical/health-related devices and sensors • BAN-enabled Portable Clinic and the service is a good candidate to provide really usable functions for preventive medicine • Experimentally use open standards, provide feedbacks to the standards, and then deploy everywhere
