Biomedical Informatics

We are performing research using clinical information and biosignals, and also using biospecimen by collaborating with Okayama University Hospital Biobank (Okadai Biobank). Clinical information is derived from hospital information system (e.g., electronic medical records) and is applied to analysis and prediction of disease condition of patients with various diseases. Biosignals are information derived from our bodies through medical devices (e.g., ECG) and wearable devices (e.g., smart watches), and are applied to detect disease at early stage and to prevent progression.
