  1. Telemedicine Difficulty of R&D for Interdisciplinary Technologies Prof. Dr Ryoichi Komiya Date : 14 March 2012 (Wednesday) Time : 1:45pm – 3:00 pm Venue : 6th Floor Meeting Room, SA Block, FES, KL Campus, UTAR Organizer : Centre for Healthcare Science and Technology (CHST) Telemedicine is an interdisciplinary technology of telecommunication and medicine. It has a long history since its first application, especially to psychological diseases in early 1950 in the USA. However, its massive introduction in real world has been limited. In this presentation, I would like to discuss mainly why telemedicine is not well accepted by medical people and patients. Major presentation contents are; history of telemedicine, technologies, success stories, realities, legal barriers, difficulty of R&D in the interdisciplinary area. Because of the saturation of classic engineering discipline, new innovation would definitely come from interdisciplinary R&D , but how to proceed is an big issue. I would like to discuss this point with all FES people. Prof. Ryoichi KOMIYA received his B.E. and Ph.D. degrees from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, in 1967 and 1986 respectively. Joining the Electrical Communication Labs of NTT in 1967, he was engaged in the development of the PCM repeateredline, digital data terminal equipment, video coder/decoders, ISDN subscriber loop transmission systems and fiber optic remote multiplexer systems. After leaving NTT in 1992, he worked with Siemens, Nippon Telecommunication Consulting Co. Ltd., NTT Advanced Technology and the Distribution and Economics University of Japan. He lectured at the Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Information Technology at Multimedia University, Malaysia from 1998 to 2009. From April, 2008 he worked with the Regional Disaster Information System Labs at Iwate Prefectural University in Japan.In June 2009, he joined University Tunku Abdul Raman, Malaysia, where he is conducting R&D on non-verbal communication systems, bus safety driving monitoring and control system, victim localization systems for indoor/outdoor disasters and connected health systems. Currently he is an Adjunct Professor at FES and supervises four postgraduate students remotely.
