FRONTEO Obtains Patent Approval in Japan for Fall Prediction System "Coroban®"

 FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto) is a fall prediction system "Coroban".®We are pleased to inform you that we have received a notice of patent decision from the Japan Patent Office.

 

Application number: Special application 2018-088828 * Registration number not given
Patent filing date: January 2018, 5

 With the development of an aging society, reducing the risk of falls in hospitalized elderly patients has become a major issue.JCI (Joint Commission International), an international medical evaluation agency, has set one of the goals of patient safety to reduce the risk of falls.1..In addition, "Standard Text for Promoting Medical Safety" created by the Japanese Nursing Association2However, "In order to prevent accidents caused by falls / falls of patients, it is important to establish a safer medical treatment environment, introduce equipment to prevent falls / falls, and assess the risk of falls / falls of patients. It is written.On the other hand, in the medical field, various measures are taken to reduce the risk of patients falling, but the risk evaluation work itself becomes a heavy burden and often puts pressure on the work of nurses, and the nursing work is busy. The current situation is that there are limits to what can be done.

 

 In order to solve such social issues, we jointly with Eisai Co., Ltd., a fall prediction system "Coroban".®Was developed.The uniquely developed artificial intelligence Concept Encoder makes it possible to visualize the risk of falls in hospitalized patients.
