Center for Information and Communication Technology

Head of the Office: Gen Kobashi, M.D.

Message from the Head of the Center

      The Center for Information and Communication Technology (CiCT) was established in April 2011 as a reorganization of the existing organization. And until 2019, the staff worked concurrently with the Information Education Division of Basic Medical Sciences, but following a review of organizational functions, the Information Education Division was integrated with the CiCT.
      As part of our work, we plan and construct ICT (Information and Communication Technology) infrastructure, such as the campus network and various online service environments, and provide support for their utilization and operation.
      We also provide student education at the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, the affiliated vocational schools (Mibu and Misato), and the graduate school. In this context, we also provide education to foster ICT literacy and to develop knowledge and skills that can respond to future social changes such as Society 5.0. We also offer classes that allow students to experience various new technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, IoT, and VR/AR.
      In addition, we are conducting research on the use of robots, VR/AR and other technologies in education, medical care, and nursing care, as well as various research from the perspective of educational technology. We hope to apply the results of these studies to actual education.
      Currently, there is a growing need and expectation for the use of ICT and new technologies in education, research, and business. Therefore, with the support and cooperation of people both inside and outside the university, the center will continue to take on new challenges. Thank you very much for your support.
