The Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo

The Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo is an affiliated institute specializing in medical research. Human Genome Center is a university research center established within IMSUT with a mission to promote human genome research and to practice genomic medicine. In the area of health and medical intelligence, research covers a wide range of fields, including human genome and symbiotic metagenomic data analysis, health and medical big data analysis and technology development, and the use of IoT devices.

To make effective use of analyzed genomic information, treatment plans currently require research across multiple sources of information on mutated genomes. It takes doctors a huge amount of time to sift through the research documentation and to determine specific treatment plans, even in situations where they use only some of the genomic information available.

AI technology is used to discover and extract literature relating to the specific genomic data required. Relevant text is highlighted to make it easy for doctors to use. Prognostic information is also selected from graphs and tables and linked to the relevant text.
