・Title: Medicine3.0: Future of Medicine to be Opened Up by Mobile Computing That Took Mr. Masayoshi Son by Surprise.
・Lecturer: Yosuke Hatanaka (i3Systems, Inc.)

・Abstract: Six years have passed since iPhone was born. Smart phones and tablets which were born to utilize cloud computing, that is, the natural supercomputing have become used not only for private or business purposes but also in the various medical welfare fields such as emergency care, home care and disaster medical care and have caused many people change of the irreversible information contact and information experience.
The lecturer joined into Apple after studying genome at The Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Tokyo and was soon promoted as the Director of Japan Market Development. He is now 31 years old and has rich experience of leading the social change of the smart phone. While he was working for Apple, he developed a sense of crisis that Japan did not work on any fundamental problem solving in the face of the super-aged society and that the local government, academia, and media were likely to lose sight of their identity in solving fundamental problems and only claiming for the ad hoc, aimless law development and wasteful budget. Then he started to advocate the next-generation vision of “Medicine 3.0”, in which the medical front itself was to promote the reconstruction of the medical model for medical practice while using the next-generation IT technology that was entrusted for him at that time with iPhone at the center of it.
“Team Medicine 3.0” that was struck by his vision consists of medical professionals such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists and making significant changes in the various fields such as emergency medical care, home medical care, disaster medical care, and dispensing pharmacy, with the impact of the information revolution such as smart phones and cloud behind them. He continues to spread the know-hows of changes gained from the front lines and insights learned from the members of Team Medicine 3.0 through the dialogue with Masayoshi Son, the president of Soft Bank, and various lectures and writing activities.  When the lecturer intuitively got to know the paradigm shift of the information age, he moved to i3-systems, a venture company in Fukuoka, from Apple in order to start up a new information venture from within Japan. He is also at the helm of the company. His company is working on the promotion to gain sympathy for the vision of “Medicine 3.0” by building “relief goods management system to support smooth supply of relief goods to the victims” jointly with Soft Bank and Sales Force within a few days right after the earthquake using the mobile phone and the cloud, and the company is offering the system for free. In this lecture, he introduces the vision and activity of “Medicine 3.0” and the future of personal computing seen beyond it.
