Contemplate the Essence of a Problem from Multiple Perspectives

摘要

Auscultation (auditory diagnosis) has been used for centuries in the fields of health screening and medical care. It has the advantage of being repeatable and non-invasive while providing immediate results; however, because it is conducted in close proximity to the patient, it is challenging to perform on patients suspected of carrying infectious diseases. We interviewed Kunio Kashino, a senior distinguished researcher, who is working on teleauscultation with an eye toward addressing the above challenge and the future of health management, about the progress of his research activities and his attitude as a researcher.
