Abstract: Although scientists have worked on sophisticated models of quantum
mechanics and cosmology, there is little understanding of the properties
and dynamics of everyday life, let alone its standard model. Modeling
everyday life requires quantitatively observing it and finding
structures in a large amount of observed data. The recent development of
ubiquitous sensing technology enables the in-vivo observation of a total
living space, and statistical modeling technology enables the
construction of a model from the observed data. By using these
technologies we can open the new paradigm of “everyday life
informatics,“ which deals with comprehensive understanding of human
daily life from the perspectives of societal dimension, daily life
dimension, and product/human body dimension. This talk introduces the
application of everyday life informatics to the problem of childhood
injury prevention and also presents the concept and the current progress
of a “safety-knowledge-circulation-based society” to realize a
computational PDCA cycle by a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach.
