FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) and Advanced Media, Inc. (Headquarters: Toyoshima-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Kiyoyuki Suzuki, hereinafter Advanced Media) Has started joint research toward the development of medical AI software in the area of ​​dementia diagnosis support.

　In March 2021, FRONTEO submitted a clinical trial report for the "Conversational Dementia Diagnosis Support AI System" to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA), aiming to obtain regulatory approval as the world's first language-based AI medical device. It is working.In this system, AI analyzes daily conversations between doctors, clinical psychologists, and other medical professionals and patients for about 3 to 5 minutes to screen for cognitive impairment and support doctors in diagnosing dementia. Thing.In the future, we believe that usability in the medical field will be further improved by advancing development so that voice data can be analyzed directly, and we are proceeding with further function expansion.

　Since its founding in 1997, Advanced Media has been developing various solution software centered on the voice recognition technology AmiVoice, and has created the domestic voice recognition market.We have developed and own a large number of voice recognition engines specialized for each business area, and in the medical field, we are proud of the introduction record of more than 14,000 facilities, centering on the voice input system specialized for each clinical department.

　In this collaboration, FRONTEO's conversational dementia diagnosis support AI system will be combined with Advanced Media's voice recognition technology to improve the practicality of the system and promote its widespread use in the medical field.

　FRONTEO and Advanced Media will contribute to the countermeasures against dementia, which is a socially important issue in Japan, which has reached a super-aging society, through the development and provision of effective AI solutions and AI medical devices.
