1. Shinto Teramoto, Shizuo Kaji, Shota Osada, The Internal Network Structure that Affects Firewall Vulnerability, The Law and Ethics of Data Sharing in Health Sciences (Perspectives in Law, Business and Innovation) (English Edition), 173-198, 2024.01, [URL], Sharing extensive healthcare information is essential for the advancement of medicine and the formulation of effective public health policies. However, it often contains sensitive or personal information, or trade secrets. Certain safety measures are needed to strike a balance between the sharing of data and the protection of such information. A firewallFirewall is one of the major safety measures designed to prevent the delivery of protected information by severing harmful connections or limiting the formation of new connections between relevant parties in an information exchange network. Although very simple models suggest firewallFirewall vulnerabilities, such models often oversimplify real-world scenarios, neglecting factors like internal connections among nodes and the influence of other information held by nodes. Therefore, we propose several improved models and use them to explore some of the reasons why firewalls fail. Our study finds that firewallsFirewall are less effective as the number of network nodes increases, and that both high- and low-degree nodes pose non-negligible risks. The study also raises awareness about the role of internal monitors in preventing leaks. The effectiveness of information leakage control could be increased with the monitor's proximity to the information source. This necessitates a greater focus on internal monitoring, perhaps using information and communication technology..
2. Shinto Teramoto, Promoting the Use of PHR by Citizens and Physicians
Proposed Design for a Token to Be Allocated to Citizens
from Part I - Platforms, Apps and Digital Health, AI in eHealth, https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108921923.007, 87-122, AI in eHealth Human Autonomy, Data Governance and Privacy in Healthcare , pp. 87 - 122, 2022.09, [URL], The digitalised medical and health records of citizens are stored in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) of hospitals or clinics, and Personal Healthcare Records (PHR). The quality of medical care is improved when physicians can access the past records of patients. A user-friendly service that enables individual citizens to share their health and medical records in PHR with their physicians is essential to achieve this. In order to encourage patients and physicians to share medical records utilising PHR, while avoiding conflict with the recent trend demanding that citizens have autonomous control of their own personal information, governments have to develop legal measures to encourage individual citizens to take the initiative to record their medical and health data in their PHR and to give their physicians access to it. The author proposes mathematical schemes that can be implemented in the legal incentives deemed suitable for such encouragement..

5. Shinto Teramoto, Paulius Jurčys, Allocation of Public Resources for Scientific Research: The Role of Governments and the Law, HOSEI KENKYU, 85, 1, 362-338, 2018.07, Over centuries, efficient allocation of limited resources has been one main concerns of governments and social scientists. The emergence of the Internet fuelled the proliferation of online matching platforms that facilitate the redistribution of omnipresent surplus resources. This article examines the role of governments and the law in facilitating the most efficient allocation of public resources to academic researchers. Assuming that diversity of funded research projects is one of the primary goals, we developed a hypothetical social network model that helps compare two major policies employed by governments in allocating public funds (“selection and concentration” and “diverse allocation”). Our findings highlight the potential advantages of both funding approaches and illustrate that larger and more selective models could potentially lead to more diverse allocation of public resources. Accordingly, we offer some policy recommendations, one of which is that governments (and legal frameworks) should utilize multiple resource allocation approaches for such strategy could lead to more efficiency and diversity..

11. Shinto Teramoto, Legal Issues related to teleradiology, Japanese Journal of Clinical Radiology, 57, 9, 1153-1159, 2012.09, This article discusses three major legal issues associated with teleradiology. First, the legal liability of teleradiologist towards patients, which is based on both contract and tort Second, the fact that teleradiology is required to be conducted by medical practitioners licensed under the Medical Practitioners Act. And, finally, the proper location for storing digital medical data, which should be chosen having regard for the changing technological and social conditions..
