This paper is concerned with the development of medical and welfare instruments using functional materials. One is the development of an artificial sphincter which is driven by shape memory alloy actuators. The non-contact induction heating system using power transmission coils and the temperature control system are introduced. The other is the development of a sensor whose receptor is a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film patch. The sensors are available for detecting prostate hardness, monitoring skin conditions. As a welfare instrument, the sensor using PVDF film is introduced for reading Braille. Furthremore, as a home medical care apparatus, the development of a sensor for monitoring sleep conditions is studied.
