In this research, for the purpose of social implementation, we conducted a near-miss demonstration experiment using a car driving in the city and a drive-simulator. Next, we conducted a demonstration experiment to evaluate the reliability of biometric information measured on patients in a medical facility's recuperation ward and residents of a special nursing home. NBC-1100 emits radar waves from a distance of up to 3 meters from an object and uses the reflected waves to measure biological information such as pulse waves and breathing waves. 
The multi-element pyroelectric effect was used to measure body temperature by detecting infrared radiation emitted from distant objects. This device is unique in that it can measure biological information without being restrained while wearing clothes. 
In the demonstration test, simultaneous measurements were conducted on nine healthy men aged 45 to 65 using a pharmaceutically approved product (μBP-mp) and a prototype non-contact biological monitor (NBC-1100 manufactured by K&S Co., Ltd.). 
The demonstration experiments at medical institutions and nursing care facilities were conducted with the consent of residents and their families and were conducted on 30 men and women between the ages of 70 and 94 who were undergoing treatment or in need of care. 
The tests were conducted on residents with chronic diseases such as dilated gastrostomies, symptomatic epilepsy, hypertension, Alzheimer's disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy. The evaluation method was simultaneous measurement using a master meter (μBP-mp) and a test meter (NBC-1100).
