Today, the busy members of the eHealth Unit and I worked together on the “Master of Digital Health” program, which has been in the making for about a year now, and we are almost completing the essential ODL (Open and Distant Learning) content for this online distance learning course. Since there are members who are
As we have previously reported, our eHealth Unit registry team at the Faculty of Medicine has been working with faculty from the Software Engineering Department to develop a system that will allow specialist doctors to design a clinical registry easily and flexibly. Now that the beta testing has been completed, we have started to put
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

It actually was the final work of mine back in Japan, so kind of memorable. I started working on that while I still belonged to Keio University Faculty of Medicine,
I had a fruitful discussion with two doctors at RUKA of PPUM (University Malaya Medical Center) this morning. They are both primary care doctors who want to create a clinical registry, and one of my colleagues had referred me to them. The doctors’ interest is to create a registry that can address them more customized
I had a bad feeling when I was dropped off by an AirAsia cab driver who had been lost every once a while during our drive to the destination. Yes, it was hot as usual. And yes, it was the clinic of destination. But the huge arrow sign pointing to the right gave me uneasy
Today I and my colleague at eHealth Unit met a PhD student of UM for his possible dissertation related to clinical registry. Initially, the student and we planned to meet physically in-person, but later changed the plan to the online one. Yep, time has changed. He is keen to do something about registry but doesn’t
