The lab studies the use of medical data and builds social systems that allow information to be used safely.
AboutAbout the lab
A social framework for using medical information safely
Obi Lab studies image processing technologies that help elucidate biological functions, and social information system technologies for the safe use of medical and other information.
The lab belongs to the Convergence Value Co-Creation Research Center in the Institute of Integrated Research and to the Institute of Future Industrial Technology, and accepts students from the Department of Information and Communications Engineering in the School of Engineering.
Because the lab works closely with the center's faculty, students can choose research topics from a wide range of medical and social information fields.
Key terms
- Access control
- A mechanism that determines who may view or use which information, and enforces those rules
- Interoperability
- The ability of information systems made by different companies or built on different mechanisms to exchange data and functions with each other and work together
- Endoscopic images
- Images taken by inserting a thin tube with a camera at its tip into the body. They are used for examinations of organs such as the stomach and intestines

ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies a social information infrastructure for the safe circulation of medical and other information, as well as image and information processing in medicine and healthcare. It also works on building systems that share and use reliable medical data and deliver the resulting insights to each individual patient.
*Illustrative imageSecurity of social information infrastructure
This research covers identity verification, access control, and interoperability between systems, all aimed at the safe circulation of medical and other information. The lab is also developing technology that integrates the authentication functions of multifunction IC chips with networks.
*Illustrative imageImage and information processing for medicine and healthcare
This research focuses on systems for sharing and using reliable medical data. The lab is developing AI that grades endoscopic images, and AI that predicts the level of care needed from video recorded for care assessment.
