− Medical System Innovation −
  • The purpose of this educational program is to develop leaders who can drive innovation in the medical field from a global perspective. Could you tell us your thoughts on medical innovation?
    Although there are significant advances being achieved in medicine, I think that there are two dimensions to these advances-that is, the progress being made in medicine itself and the progress being made in its peripheral sciences. It is not possible to completely separate the two, but I think that these aspects do exist. The former is based directly on the needs found on site, such as the development of therapies and diagnostic equipment, and advancements in technology. They are directly tied to clinical practice, the progress is successive and time is generally required. The medical front seeks treatments that are as established and as standardized as possible, and progress is achieved by verifying each of these treatments, one by one. However, it is also important to incorporate and apply the advances being made in the peripheral sciences other than medicine.
