Locomotive pain derived from degenerative changes such as lumbar spondylosis, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis are the major causes of the impaired activity of the elderly. We have been clarifying the mechanisms of these pathologies using methods of molecular biology.

We have been analyzing the low back pain patients' properties in the clinical situation using a wearable activity tracker by acquiring subjective activity data in their daily life to maximize and support their activities, and also aiming at the development of more efficient wearable sensors/devices.

We are trying to make lumbar fusion surgery less invasive by targeting the surgical site using neural MRI diffusion analysis to quantify pain and refining the surgical procedure by inducing novel intraoperative navigation system combined with AR/VR/MR.

We have been developing a diagnostic system that differentiates orthopaedic pathologies such as spinal cord tumor, spinal column fracture, and spinal infection using AI to provide more accurate and a faster diagnosis for the clinical physicians.
