OmiGroup Attends KIT–ASEAN 2025 Scientific Conference at Hanoi Medical University

The conference gathered a large number of prestigious scholars and scientists from Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia. Prominent among them was Prof. Dr. Kamei Kaeko – Vice President of the Kyoto Institute of Technology and Honorary Professor of Hanoi Medical University, alongside leaders and faculty representatives from training institutions and research institutes in the region.

With a focus on updating advanced research trends, the KIT–ASEAN 2025 Conference centered its discussions on various cutting-edge fields, such as artificial intelligence in healthcare, biosensors, nanomaterials, cell and gene therapies, and modern molecular diagnostic techniques. In addition to the plenary session, the program featured two parallel thematic sessions on Biotechnology & Molecular Medicine and Digital Transformation & AI in Healthcare, alongside a Poster presentation session for young researchers, creating a vibrant and highly collaborative academic space.

During the Digital Transformation and AI in Healthcare discussion session, Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang Nhung – AI Research Lead at OmiGroup – presented a scientific report titled “Root Cause Analysis based on Knowledge Graphs in Functional Medicine.” The presentation introduced OmiKG (Omi Knowledge Graph), a knowledge graph platform that supports root-cause analysis for chronic diseases, aiming to shift from treating symptoms to addressing the root causes of illnesses.

The research was implemented through close collaboration between OmiGroup's AI R&D team and doctors and medical experts from the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, and Hanoi Medical University. Accordingly, OmiKG demonstrates the capability to infer pathophysiological mechanisms at the molecular level with high accuracy and logical consistency, outperforming commercial LLM models in intensive functional medicine tasks. A case study on type 2 diabetes highlights its ability to model multi-pathway convergence from environmental factors and lifestyle habits specific to Vietnam, opening up the potential to develop clinical decision support platforms and personalized intervention tools in the future.

Through its participation in the KIT–ASEAN 2025 Conference, OmiGroup continues to affirm its commitment to researching and developing specialized AI solutions in the healthcare sector. At the same time, the group promotes international academic connections, aiming to build precision and personalized medicine platforms to meet the needs of sustainable healthcare.
