Hiroshi Yoshihara is an Applied Research Engineer based in Tokyo with 11 years’ experience translating advanced AI and public health research into deployable medical products and health-data platforms. A Kaggle Grandmaster and Google Developer Expert, he blends deep academic training (PhD in Public Health from Kyoto University) with hands-on engineering—most notably helping develop Japan’s first AI-powered novel medical device approved for insurance coverage. He has led multidisciplinary projects at The University of Tokyo and industry roles at Aillis and Sakana AI, building LLM-integrated EHR dashboards, multimodal diagnostic algorithms, and clinical decision-support prototypes. As a serial collaborator and co-founder, he bridges startups and academia to operationalize AI in regulated, clinical settings. Less obvious: he pairs rigorous epidemiologic analysis of claims and EHR data with practical product instincts, enabling rapid social implementation rather than purely theoretical advances.
