We developed our unique Smart Rubber (SR) Sensor, a body pressure detection sensor made of rubber that visualizes pressure. Commercialized “SR Soft Vision” is used at medical and nursing care workplaces for nursing care and rehabilitation in beds and wheelchairs. Sumitomo Riko continues to develop products and technologies that are useful in keeping us healthy while we live our lives.
Products using the soft sensor technology are being deployed in the medical, nursing, and health care fields. Using SR Soft Vision to make it possible to visualize pressure, that is, advanced uses of new technology that seems like something already in use, we can develop devices that make manageable those issues in the front line of nursing and health care, thereby contributing to the quality of life (QOL) of the patients receiving care.
A body pressure distribution sensor that can display the distribution and balance of body pressure using Smart Rubber (SR) sensor technology. It is being used in a variety of health and nursing applications such as the selection of cushions, and mattresses and in rehabilitation.
*The computer and mobile device are not included with the product.
A training and evaluation system for chest compressions (cardiac massage) that uses SR sensor technology. It is in accordance with the JRC Resuscitation Guidelines 2020, evaluating the quality of chest compressions and giving points for each item, improving the results of training exercises such as life-saving certification.
*The computer, mobile device, and training dummy are not included with the product.
This mattress system, a welfare device that uses SR sensor technology, has been developed through collaborative research between Kyushu University and Sumitomo Riko. Air cells installed in the mattress expand and deflate according to the user’s build and sleeping posture, delivering custom body weight dispersion to support the prevention of bedsores.
Made from thin, soft material, this smart rubber (SR) sensing device acquires biometric information without interrupting sleep. The exclusive App displays respiration component, heart rate component and in-bed determination based on the biometric information. Combined with other devices, this device can be used for numerous purposes including applying biometric information to vital data acquired from homes and hotels, monitoring health of patients in nursing care facilities and conducting research and development on sleep.
This seat-type sensing device obtains data through pressure changes on the surface of the seat and measures biometric information (vital data based on heart rate component, respiration component and other information), even vibrating environments such as moving passenger vehicles, trucks and bus. Driver drowsiness, fatigue detection and passenger irregularity response is sent to industry operated transport management and fatigue management services based on this data.

Used in bacteria testing and for diagnoses of antigen-antibody reactions. Production of these were made possible by injection molding of liquid silicone rubber. Disposal of this type is much easier than the glass ones that were being used, so they also contribute to a better environment.

This product is a measuring device that measures bite force utilizing SR sensor technology. It is primarily used for detecting hypoluminal function* by inserting the sensor into the mouth and measuring the bite force through evaluating chewing function. As it can confirm bite force quickly after measurement, it is widely used dental universities, research institutes and dental clinics.
*A gradually degenerative condition which affects sensation, chewing, swallowing and salivary secretion, etc., in the oral cavity.
