Hirosaki University COI - Center for Innovative "Kenyaka-ryoku" Creation for Realizing True Social Innovation
Hirosaki University Health Future Innovation Center

Hirosaki University has been developing the "Iwaki Health Promotion Project (large-scale joint health checkups for residents)" for 15 years since 2005 to solve the social problem of Aomori Prefecture, the prefecture with the shortest life expectancy in Japan, by accumulating a large amount of health data (2-3000 items) on healthy people, which is unprecedented in the world, and has attracted much attention. The project is attracting a great deal of attention.
In 2013, the Center was selected by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) as a recipient of the COI STREAM program for the creation of innovative innovations, and has been developing innovative methods of disease prediction and prevention through AI-based health big data analysis, and working with companies to implement (commercialize) these results in society from a variety of perspectives. All stakeholders in industry, academia, government, and the private sector, including the general public and local small, medium, and large companies, have developed their respective activities in various ways, creating a realistic open innovation platform for health research and health promotion activities.
We aim to extend the healthy life expectancy of the elderly, reduce medical costs, and ultimately improve their quality of life, and achieve a "healthy and long-lived society" through the use of health big data and the latest science in cooperation with local industry, academia, government, and the private sector, simultaneously solving social issues and revitalizing the economy, and contributing to the health promotion and SDGs for the world's humanity.
