Making full and comprehensive use of medical science, epidemiology, medical economics, health\r\npolicy science, etc., we evaluate the impact that medical technology and implementation of health policies\r\nhave on health in the broadest sense of the term ? meaning the health both of individuals and of the society\r\nas a whole. Our analysis extends to effects, efficiency, safety and security, ethics, social acceptance,\r\netc. Currently, we are focusing on work in three research areas: (1) Life-style related diseases (evaluation\r\nof designated health checkups and health guidance); (2) Evaluation of plans to promote cancer control\r\nprograms; and (3) Research on appropriate intervention for the elderly in terms of medicines and epidemiology.\r\nIn concrete terms, we are conducting HTA assessments to determine the value of the government-specifi ed\r\nhealth checkups and health guidance programs for the prevention of life-style related diseases, since those\r\nprograms are outcomes of the fi rst such intervention policy conducted at the national level anywhere in the\r\nworld. We are building the largest detailed database nationwide, and are comprehensively analyzing clinical\r\ndata to determine potential impacts as well as the most effi cient measures; in other words, we are achieving\r\nsignifi cant results.<br>\r\nThe Area on Technology Assessment, because of its characteristics, is expected to have benefits for\r\ninterdisciplinary research. There has been a lot of interest from overseas in our research achievements,\r\nand we have begun to engage in international joint research. In the future, we will continue to maintain a\r\nwide range of academic interactions with medical doctors, public health nurses, nurses, economists, jurists,\r\nstatisticians, administrative officials, etc; and will continue to widely share our most significant research\r\noutcomes.<!--Main Area End-->\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div><!--main end-->\r\n<\/div><!--col end-->\r\n<!------[myphp file='menu-en-footer']------->\r\n<\/div><!--row end-->\r\n<\/div><!------- container-fluid end -------->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Research Departments &nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Research Managing Director&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;Area on Tec &hellip; <p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/en\/soshiki-en\/04toukatsu-en\/area01-en\/\" class=\"more-link\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;Area on Technology Assessment&#8221; \u306e<\/span>\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1568,"menu_order":198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2077"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2077"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2077\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4456,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2077\/revisions\/4456"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.niph.go.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
