In 2017, the Japanese Ophthalmological Society (JOS) created the Japan Ocular Imaging (JOI) registry, a national database of images and clinical data in the field of ophthalmology in Japan. The JOI registry automatically transfers the information stored in the electronic medical records of each institution to the cloud storage governed by the JOS. This process adheres to Japanese laws and regulations such as the Act on the Protection of Personal Information and the relevant laws of Japan, the Ethical Guidelines for Medical and Biological Research Involving Human Subjects, and the Medical Information System Security Management Guideline of Japan. The JOI registry works closely with academia in ophthalmology, as well as the Japan Association for Medical Informatics, the Japan Ophthalmic Instrument Association, and manufacturers of ophthalmic medical devices. The collected data will be used in studies and surveys to improve the quality of ophthalmic care. The JOI registry has been created as a common asset for the entire ophthalmology field, and welcomes participation of related institutions to utilize the infrastructure to promote multicenter joint research and development. The JOI registry network intends to cover all ophthalmological facilities, including clinics. However, the project is currently being conducted with the cooperation of 22 university hospitals, one private hospital, and two health checkup facilities. As of October 2021, six facilities are connected to the JOI registry network; it comprises a total of 486,189 fundus images, 25,224 optical coherence tomography images, and 11,565 visual field results, among others, are stored in the JOI registry. This project was initially funded by a national funding agency, the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) (ICT Infrastructure Establishment and Implementation of Artificial Intelligence for Clinical and Medical Research, 2017-2019). The General Incorporated Association Japan Ocular Imaging Registry was established in 2019, following which the association is managing the JOI registry under the governance of the JOS. The JOI registry is aiming to become a large-scale real-world database comparable to the Intelligent Research in Sight registry of the United States.
2017年，日本眼科学会（JOS）创建了日本眼部影像（JOI）登记处，这是一个日本眼科领域图像和临床数据的国家数据库。JOI登记处会自动将各机构电子病历中存储的信息传输到由JOS管理的云存储中。这一过程遵循日本的法律法规，如《个人信息保护法》及日本相关法律、《涉及人类受试者的医学和生物学研究伦理准则》以及日本的《医疗信息系统安全管理指南》。JOI登记处与眼科学术界以及日本医学信息学协会、日本眼科器械协会和眼科医疗设备制造商密切合作。收集到的数据将用于研究和调查，以提高眼科护理质量。JOI登记处已被创建为整个眼科领域的公共资产，并欢迎相关机构参与利用该基础设施来促进多中心联合研发。JOI登记处网络打算覆盖所有眼科设施，包括诊所。然而，该项目目前是在22家大学医院、1家私立医院和2家健康检查机构的合作下进行的。截至2021年10月，有6家机构连接到JOI登记处网络；JOI登记处共存储了486,189张眼底图像、25,224张光学相干断层扫描图像以及11,565份视野检查结果等。该项目最初由日本国立研究开发法人医学研究开发机构（AMED）资助（2017 - 2019年临床和医学研究的信息通信技术基础设施建设及人工智能实施）。日本眼部影像登记处一般社团法人于2019年成立，此后该协会在JOS的管理下负责管理JOI登记处。JOI登记处旨在成为一个与美国的智能视力研究登记处相当的大规模真实世界数据库。
