My back has been hurting since the middle of last week and yesterday I could not turn over.

This is the so-called "gimpy back with no shocked pain" condition.

I know the cause is 'hard work,' but hard work or not, there is a lot of work to be done.

And, a gimpy back is not something that can be "fixed after a day's rest.

This can only be done by reducing the daily load and enduring the pain.

Some people report that "continuing with daily activities is quicker to heal a slipped back than continuing to rest".

The problem is the "poultice application".

This, I can't do alone -- especially with my back and hips, it's hopeless.

Recently, there is a poultice containing Loxonin that does not peel off easily, which is very effective, but it is very difficult to apply this poultice.

I can assure you that it is impossible for an individual to put it up.

Right now, my wife is putting it up, but if she passes away before I do, I will have no one to rely on.

(Incidentally, "I will outlive my wife" is a contractual condition of marriage.)

Dear students of Mechanical, Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Once you develop sensors, actuators, robots, and algorithms that enable the autonomous application of the Loxonin S Tape, you will be able to develop a new product that can be used in a wide variety of applications.

"Are you guys kidding me about the nursing field?"

I assure you that I will not have to shout it. On the contrary, the results of your research will be something you can be proud of to the world.

Companies do not embark on these studies not because they are stupid (well, maybe they are stupid), but because the safety standards for machines that directly touch the human body are too high to pay for the development research costs.

The value of academism is that you are not bound to such a field -- you have the chance to be the test subject, try it out, and present it (even as a prototype).

The development of a robotic arm with "automatic application function of 'Loxonin S Tape'" -- even if it is a very poor one -- would be a significant research and development.

Once that prototype is completed, the company will be in a position to make a serious calculation of return on investment.

That is the significance of student research.

Maybe you will get "fame" too.
