[ICT Utilization for Healthcare and Personalized Medicine]

Through medical ICT, a greater quality and efficiency of health care, improved convenience for patients and other people, strengthening of research and development and industrial competitiveness, and the efficiency of social security costs will be offered. In order to achieve these objectives, it is necessary to have an intellectual foundation on which a medical platform is digitally constructed by the ICT for the creation of new services and medical technology. In other words, a system that, based on information systems in the medical field, etc., depending on the purpose of utilization, makes it possible to collect reusable data at the minimum required level will be established and we will then adjust and operate it. In order to enable the reuse of data, the following two mechanisms have to be created: one in which data generated by multiple agencies can be shared among stakeholders through structuring and standardization, and another in which comparable information can be used as a history attributable to individuals over a long period of time.
