Deep security risk of generative AI｜生成系AIの深すぎるリスク
https://govinsider.asia/intl-en/article/organisations-scarily-unprepared-for-generative-ais-security-risks-extrahop-report Generative AI can be a very powerful supporting tool in company operations, but it continues to be compromised with little or no thought given to security. Still, it is amazing that “81 per cent of Singaporean organisations report their employees are using generative AIs in the workplace”. Wow. workers in Singapore are basically using
【project】Beta Testing of a Generic Clinical Registry Builder｜汎用臨床レジストリビルダーのベータテスト
Since last July, a very interesting, meaningful collaboration has been going on with the Software Engineering Department of Universiti Malaya, where I am affiliated. It is a rather complex project that also serves as an assignment project for PhD students there. In short, we are creating a “builder” that can help us design clinical registries
【webinar】Bioethics in healthcare research｜医学研究における生命倫理
Recently, I have been touching on bioethics, or rather ethics in medical/healthcare research.

The lecturer was Prof. Dr. Jeffrey
Comprehensive Strategic Agreement between UNIQLO and University of Malaya｜ユニクロとマラヤ大の包括的戦略協定
https://um.edu.my/news/uniqlo-and-universiti-malaya-forge-partnership-to-nurture-future-leaders Late last year, the top Malaysian university and UNIQLO entered into an in-depth and comprehensive strategic partnership. I am not involved, by the way. LOL. If I were to use a Japanese analogy, it would be like the partnership between the University of Tokyo and GAP. The purpose of the partnership is “comprehensive leadership
Relationship between gut microbiota and cognitive development｜腸内細菌叢と認知発達との関係
It appears to be a partial study, but this year just like last year, we will continue to see research on the significant influence of the gut microbiome on cognitive function and brain structure. Sure, there is a lot of genetic inheritance taking place here, but we are learning more and more how the gut
【education】Project to develop a telehealth curriculum at a UM Faculty of Medicine｜マラヤ大医学部でのtelehealthカリキュラム策定プロジェクト
We, the eHealth Unit of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Malaya, are currently working with a team from the Medical Education and Research Development Unit, whom we often work together with, to develop a medical education curriculum on “teleheath”. Telehealth (or telemedicine as its subset) is a thing that continues to be
wasabi can boost memory function?｜ワサビで記憶力増強？
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wasabi-memory-boost-japanese-study-finds/ This is a pretty good story! It’s a report on an experiment at Tohoku University showing that Wasabi, a Japanese spice that is the pride of Japan (it’s on sushi all the time!), boosts memory in the elderly. It seems that a rare substance called 6-MSITC contained in Wasabi is responsible for this effect.
Stress and its relationship to overeating… is this the culprit?｜ストレスと過食との関係…犯人はこいつ？
Medical doctors and scientists have long known that overeating is a means of coping with everyday stress. In fact, we know that people who tend to stress out are more likely to become obese. This is fine as in every once awhile, but if it becomes a daily routine, it can be very dangerous because
【education】APRU Global Health Ethics 2023 course completed｜APRUグローバルヘルス倫理2023コースの終了参加証明書が届く

【conf】Visit and future collaboration with the Medical Information Division of the Ministry of Health, Malaysia｜マレーシア健康省医療情報部門への訪問と今後の協業
Today, together with my colleagues from the eHealth Unit, I visited the Medical Information Section of the Department of Health, located in Putrajaya (an administrative district where the central government administrative agencies are all located). The University of Malaya, which is the oldest national university (…in fact, older than the birth of the country), has
