Research Interests

Modern medicine uses a variety of biomedical measurement technologies, including medical imaging such as CT/MRI and ultrasound. On the other hand, due to the limitations of invasiveness, i.e., the restriction not to damage the living body, there still remains a lot of information in the living body that is difficult to measure directly. Physicians often make diagnoses by inferring in vivo phenomena from indirect biological signals. Our goal is to clarify the advanced cognitive abilities of physicians in order to realize technologies that support medical treatment at a higher level. Specifically, we are developing the following technologies

- Advanced diagnosis technology for arrhythmia based on ECG waveform recognition
- Flexible ultrasound imaging technology that can be attached to body surfaces
- Surgical robot technology that recognizes and controls deformation of flexible tissues
