Introduction of DIMIT

DIMIT

The Division of Innovation for Medical Technology at The Jikei University began with the inauguration of the endowed chair that was its predecessor in April 2015. Since that time, with the aim of using information and communication technology (ICT) in medicine, it has undertaken a wide range of activities from basic research for technical development to clinical applications. It has been involved in medical equipment programs, such as the “Join” app that is the first in Japan to be covered by health insurance, and support for medical equipment research and development, while also conducting research to build community-based medical information systems using ICT and collecting data to optimize medical fees.
In addition, we analyze information obtained using AI, robots, or wearables, and conduct research on the provision of information that is helpful to the medical world, as well as research on things such as accessibility functions. These studies are regarded as “digital medicine (health),” with the aim of equalization and improvement in the quality of medical care in a wide range of fields.
