Summary
We are living in a hyper-aging society. Health problems are becoming more complex, and the growing need for medical and nursing care has become a social issue of utmost importance. To ensure proper health in future, it is necessary to design a new health system which is assisted by data. Currently, our team is working on the development of a new health system model called the “Learning Health System” (LHS). We combine the knowledge and approach of clinical medicine, epidemiology, and data science, and apply them to large-scale health data accumulated in the health system. In this seminar, to introduce the concept of the LHS, I will explain the health issues extracted from large-scale data and intervention design to solve health issues. We believe that the goal is not to acquire knowledge through research, but to put the knowledge into practice to solve issues.
