Research Activities
- Innovation in Preventive Medicine through DEA
I focus on applying Operations Research to preventive medicine. I pioneered Data Envelopment Analysis in this field, proving through a randomized controlled trial that health risk assessment using "efficiency scores" outperforms conventional methods. This work was published in BMJ Open*? as a new indicator for health services.

- Development and Social Implementation of the ME-BYO Index
With Kanagawa Prefecture, I analyzed data from the ME-BYO Cohort Study*? to refine the "ME-BYO Index" that quantifies the state between health and illness. Demonstration studies across municipalities now promote behavioral change through health visualization.

- Personalized Prevention through Gene-Environment Interaction
Using nationwide epidemiological research (J-MICC Study) and the Kanagawa ME-BYO Cohort Study, I research how genetic polymorphisms interact with lifestyle factors in disease development.
- Gut Microbiota Research
Through the ME-BYO Cohort Study, I examine relationships between gut microbiota and health indicators. Our findings on locomotive syndrome and gut environment were published in NPJ Aging*?, while my novel DEA application to gut microbiota analysis appeared in Current Development in Nutrition*?.

- Multi-disciplinary Collaboration
I lead over 20 industry-academia-government research projects, including cancer screening quality management with Yokohama Medical Association and partnerships with universities like Keio and Tohoku. I also conduct international research with institutions including the National University of Singapore.
Message
My research theme "Innovation in Primary Prevention" aims to realize data-driven personalized prevention through DEA, machine learning, and effective interventions to make preventive medicine more accessible.
I strive to build preventive medicine that benefits society by connecting clinical knowledge, research, and implementation. Please contact me for collaboration opportunities.
