Professor Lee presented information on Mind Mining, which was developed by his team at the Ubiquitous Computing Lab. The Mind Mining application, version 2.5, focuses on studying peoples’ daily habits and interactions and thereby recommending ways of training them on how to adjust their lives to avoid permanent diseases, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, gout and so on.
Professor Lee said “Data on the patient’s medical history and their family members, including genetic information and diagnostic images, can be stored in an e-medical record, which is important in consultation, diagnosis and treatment. This can be stored digitally by authorized hospitals and shared with health centers to provide patients with better health care.”
Professor Lee talked about how students can obtain scholarships and jobs at Kyung Hee University. The Ubiquitous Computing Lab employs qualified IT graduates who are able to develop software to deal with large volumes of complex data.
