About us

Our laboratory conducts research and development aimed at realizing advanced healthcare through the utilization of cutting-edge technologies such as AI and robotics. In particular, our research on information-guided surgery, centered on intelligent operating rooms, integrates various modalities—including intraoperative MRI, OCT, photodynamic diagnosis, and functional testing—to improve surgical quality. We are also promoting the development of surgical support robots and therapeutic devices in collaboration with clinical departments, as well as clinical prediction using AI and remote support systems. Furthermore, we are working on the social implementation of technologies such as mobile SCOT and home healthcare robots. In addition, we place strong emphasis on regulatory science for medical devices, fostering human resources with a broad perspective through an integrated system that spans from basic research to clinical application and commercialization.
