Medical and Health Data Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses ophthalmic imaging and claims data to elucidate diseases and improve healthcare.
AboutAbout the lab
From clinical data to understanding disease and improving healthcare.
The Medical and Health Data Science Lab is run by Professor Hiroshi Tamura of the Data Science Innovation Education and Research Center, affiliated with the Institute for Liberal Arts and Sciences, who also holds a concurrent professorship in the Graduate School of Informatics.
The lab conducts epidemiological studies using clinical data, centered on images, and claims data, and develops medical systems and testing devices jointly with companies.
Key terms
- Epidemiology
- The study of the causes, spread, and prevention of disease using data from populations
- Claims (receipts)
- Itemized statements of medical fees that medical institutions submit to insurers to request payment. They record treatment and can be used for research
- NDB
- Japan's national medical database that collects claims data from across the country
ResearchResearch themes

*Illustrative imageEpidemiological Studies of Clinical Data, Centered on Images
Mainly in ophthalmology, the lab has spent about 20 years on research centered on the many types of rapidly advancing image data, aiming to clarify disease mechanisms and predict prognosis.
*Illustrative imageEpidemiological Studies Using Claims Data
The lab is actively engaged in epidemiological studies that make secondary use of claims data, mainly from the NDB.
*Illustrative imageDevelopment of Medical Systems and Testing Devices
Jointly with companies, the lab develops and implements medical systems and testing devices that incorporate artificial intelligence technologies, including generative AI.
