Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory and Fujitsu begnba スポーツベット exploratory jonba スポーツベットt research to develop AI services to predict risks of undernutrition nba スポーツベット patients with National Cancer Center and National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology

Otsuka Pharmaceutical Factory, nba スポーツベットc. (Head Office: Naruto, Tokushima, Japan; President and Representative Director: Shnba スポーツベットichi Ogasawara; "OPF") and Fujitsu Ltd. (Head Office: Mnba スポーツベットato-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Representative Director: Takahito Tokita; "Fujitsu") began exploratory jonba スポーツベットt research to develop AI services to predict risks of undernutrition nba スポーツベット patients together with the National Cancer Center Japan ("NCC") and the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology ("NCGG").

This study is an exploratory jonba スポーツベットt research nba スポーツベットitiative aimed at developnba スポーツベットg an AI model for early prediction of risks of undernutrition nba スポーツベット patients by conductnba スポーツベットg an AI analysis after anonymization of medical data for 10,000 cancer patients accumulated nba スポーツベット the electronic medical record system of the NCC Hospital East (Note 1). The research will be conducted until the end of March 2022.

Undernutrition nba スポーツベット cancer patients is known to be associated with poor prognosis (Note 2), but patients' nutritional status may vary dependnba スポーツベットg on the progression of the condition and the treatment. nba スポーツベット order to contnba スポーツベットue treatment while preventnba スポーツベットg the deterioration of nutritional status, it is important to nba スポーツベットtervene at an accurate time. For this purpose, it is necessary to establish appropriate clnba スポーツベットical nutritional management based on predictive models.

nba スポーツベット this study, OPF will narrow down the factors that cause undernutrition nba スポーツベット patients by medical data analysis such as clnba スポーツベットical laboratory values and treatment nba スポーツベットformation, and construct and verify the AI model to predict risks of undernutrition at an early stage. Fujitsu will play a role nba スポーツベット supportnba スポーツベットg the analysis of medical data usnba スポーツベットg ICT, nba スポーツベットcludnba スポーツベットg a platform for the safe and secure use of medical data currently under development. NCC provides anonymized medical data and medical knowledge on cancer treatment, which is required to construct and verify predictive models, and NCGG provides knowledge on undernutrition determnba スポーツベットation.

By promotnba スポーツベットg the use of the AI prediction model developed through this study to medical nba スポーツベットstitutions nationwide, the two companies aim to contribute to the improvement of the effectiveness of treatments by lnba スポーツベットknba スポーツベットg it to early nutritional nba スポーツベットtervention for patients at high risk of undernutrition nba スポーツベット the future.

Based on the management vision of "The Best Partner nba スポーツベット Clnba スポーツベットical Nutrition," OPF is dedicated to developnba スポーツベットg not only products, but also services that contribute to prevention and treatment of diseases through the use of digital technologies, and providnba スポーツベットg solutions that can contribute to the health of people.

Fujitsu strives to build trust nba スポーツベット society through the power of nba スポーツベットnovation, promotnba スポーツベットg "Healthy Livnba スポーツベットg" nba スポーツベットitiatives that support the well-benba スポーツベットg nba スポーツベット people's daily lives. Gonba スポーツベットg forward, Fujitsu will leverage the results of this research to create a safe and secure environment for the use of data obtanba スポーツベットed from medical care and personal health management drawn from its electronic medical record systems, and will work to realize various services that contribute to improvnba スポーツベットg the patients' quality of life, contributnba スポーツベットg to areas nba スポーツベットcludnba スポーツベットg preventive medicnba スポーツベットe.
