The Microsoft Japan CityNext Solutions Forum on May 30 brought together over 250 government and health executives in Tokyo. Here attendees learned how health and government organizations around the world are digitally transforming and using the Microsoft trusted cloud as a force for global good. After a keynote from Stefan Sjoestroem, Vice President, Public Sector, Microsoft Asia, and Akira Sakakibara, Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft Japan, attendees chose between a government or health track to dive deeper into how partners and customers around the world are tackling industry problems through cloud first technology. To learn more about Empowering Health<\/a>, Empowering Governments<\/a> or Microsoft CityNext<\/a>, see the event recap below as well as links to supporting materials.<\/p>\n

Health Care Track<\/h2>\n

\"Two<\/a>Taishiro Kishimoto, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry<\/a>, Keio University spoke on clinical innovation and specifically about using AI for psychiatric care. For psychiatric care being able to leverage physician institutional knowledge along with health analytics will help to transform dealing with the challenges of diagnosis, research and treatment.<\/p>\n

Koji Kawakami, Ph.D, MD, Kyoto University Hospital<\/a> spoke on changing the way people work in healthcare by changing the way they learn. His lab is tackling medical training by leveraging technology to transform traditional classroom and anatomical learning. This lab is now analyzing how and if using this type of training changes the way people work.<\/p>\n

Dr. Greg McKelevey of KenSci<\/a> described how providers can identify population health risks, improve care outcomes, and streamline patient flow through the hospital with their Clinical informatics and health analytics solution<\/a>. Dr. Greg McKelevey also highlighted a fellow APAC customer, Fulleton Hospital<\/a>, that is currently utilizing this technology.<\/p>\n

Government Track<\/h2>\n

\"Speaker<\/a>Professor Noboru Koshizuka from Tokyo University\u2019s Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies<\/a> explored both work style reform and digital transformation. The increase of open data policies and open government initiatives in Japan is enabling more innovation and public-private partnerships that serve citizen needs in new ways. Professor Koshizuka sees great potential to improve quality of life, particularly by better addressing citizen needs later in life, as innovations built on open data create new solutions.<\/p>\n

Atsushi Oyaizu, Executive Advisor of the Microsoft Technology Center in Japan<\/a>, introduced both Kennichi Kaneda from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency)<\/a> and Seiji Takahashi from Kumamoto City<\/a>, who shared their experiences with adopting cloud technologies as part of a comprehensive approach to work style reform in their respective organizations.<\/p>\n

Masakazu Takahashi, Microsoft Japan\u2019s Chief Security Advisor and Tadashi Nagamiya, Director General of the Japan Information Security Audit Association<\/a> discussed the latest developments across information systems and cyber security, and how best to objectively evaluate the current state of security measures in place.<\/p>\n

The Japan CityNext Solutions Forum 2017 was very insightful and informative, leaving attendees inspired about how they can utilize Microsoft\u2019s trusted cloud as a source for global good.
