The Institute was founded on April 1, 2023, at the Iida Campus based on years of research from the Yamagata Cohort Study, led by the University. It works with local governments, businesses, medical institutions, and research organizations to promote personalized health and well-being for individuals and communities, bringing these efforts to society.
The Institute focuses on "Well-Being" research, exploring topics like food, sports, medicine, nursing care, drug discovery, AI, biosensors, and behavioral science. Faculty members from all faculties are working daily to improve the health and happiness of the people in Yamagata Prefecture.
We hope you will look forward to the future activities of the Institute and kindly ask for your continued support and cooperation.
