Fujita Medical University and FRONTEO start joint research on fall prediction system using artificial intelligence

 Fujita Gakuen Fujita Medical University (Location: Toyoake City, Aichi Prefecture, Chairman: Kiyotaka Hoshicho) and FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) are using artificial intelligence. We have signed a joint research agreement on the fall prediction system used.

 

 This prediction system is FRONTEO's artificial intelligence "Concept Encoder (concept encoder)"®, Concept encoder) ”is an epoch-making system that predicts and presents the risk of falls from nursing records.This time, in collaboration with the Rehabilitation Medicine I course of the Faculty of Medicine of the same university, the fall prediction AI system "Coroban"®(Patent registration number: Patent No. 6652986), we will work to further improve the accuracy and expand the functions.

 

 Prior to this joint research agreement, Fujita Medical University Hospital (hospital director: Yukio Yuzawa) and FRONTEO have started a preliminary survey on the performance of "Coroban®" from 2019, and this time, more will be put into practical use. We have decided to start joint research so that medical professionals and patients can use this system with peace of mind.

 

 FRONTEO will promote research and development of more sophisticated life science AI, aiming for a society that can realize both a healthy and prosperous life in the age of 100 years and a reduction in the burden on the medical field.

 Although the impact of this matter on FRONTEO's business results for the current fiscal year is expected to be minor, we will promptly announce any reasons that should be disclosed in the future.
