Summary: At Expo 2025 in Japan, a “Future of Sleep” exhibit will showcase a concept bed equipped with sensors that adapt to each user’s physical condition for optimal sleep. Showcased by two Japanese companies, the bed uses advanced technology to monitor and personalize the sleep environment, offering visitors a real-time simulation of sleep evaluation. This exhibit aims to highlight how cutting-edge technology can promote physical health through tailored sleep solutions, envisioning a future where sleep environments automatically adjust to individual needs.
Key Takeaways:
- Adaptive Sleep Technology: The concept bed uses sensors to adjust to each user’s unique sleep needs in real-time.
- Interactive Experience: Expo guests can experience sleep evaluations and learn about sensor technology used in personalized sleep.
- Health Promotion Focus: The exhibit highlights the role of technology in enhancing health by optimizing sleep environments.
Tokyo-based Pasona Group Inc will showcase an interactive “Future of Sleep” exhibit in partnership with MinebeaMitsumi Inc at Expo 2025 Osaka, inviting visitors to experience an advanced concept bed that adjusts to individual sleep needs through cutting-edge technology.
The “Future of Sleep” exhibit posits a future in which the mechanisms of sleep are made clear, and an individual’s bed and entire sleeping environment can adjust to their physical condition for optimal sleep. In addition to the exhibit of a sensor-powered concept bed and explanations of the technologies, pavilion guests can lie down on the concept bed and experience a simulation of sleep evaluation using sensors.
MinebeaMitsumi is a manufacturer of integrated precision components specializing in ultra-precision machining technologies, including miniature and small-sized ball bearings, semiconductors, motors, sensors, and various other mechanical and electronic components.
In recent years, the company has used its technology to develop, manufacture, and sell products including a bed sensor system and lighting products that aim to help solve social problems.
Improving Health Through Better Sleep
Through this exhibit, Pasona Group and MinebeaMitsumi aim to promote physical health through optimal sleep supported by cutting-edge technology.
“There is truly no health without sound sleep. We have been reflecting on the ideal of healthy sleep through our AI hospital business and joint development platform, including the bed sensor system by MinebeaMitsumi Inc,” says exhibit supervisor Masaru Mimura, PhD, professor emeritus, Keio University School of Medicine, in a release. “We are delighted to be able to share our vision of the future of healthy sleep…at the Expo 2025 in Osaka, Kansai.”
