The Internet connection of things, which is used in all aspects of industry and life, is called IoT.
It is expected that new values will be created one after another by integrating the real world and cyberspace through communication.

For example, in the industrial field, smart production systems (smart factories) that connect artificial intelligence sensors and big data on production lines, like the 4th Industrial Revolution recommended in Germany, are attracting attention.
This can be seen at 0:30 in the video.

The super-smart society "Society5.0" is also useful for medical care and health management.
Innovative systems that can be used in medicine are being developed one after another, such as a cuffless blood pressure measurement using a chair, and a system that can take electrocardiogram measurements while sleeping with an electrode device sewn in pajamas or a bed cover.

Data can be sent in real time to physicians at remote locations, and while currently patients currently need to visit hospitals for a checkup, with this system, they are protected by the network and can be informed that something is wrong before they even know it.
This can be seen from 2:49 in the video.
