Increasing sustainability in the stadium: Fujitsu partners with the digital center “Arena of IoT” at Deutsche Bank Park

February 15, 2023
TOKYO, Feb 15, 2023 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu and EintrachtTech GmbH's digital center "Arena of IoT" have partnered to increase sustainability in stadium management at Deutsche Bank Park as part of a joint project. EintrachtTech is the dedicated subsidiary of Eintracht Frankfurt responsible for all of Eintracht's strategic digital projects. The digital center "Arena of IoT" develops the most ambitious Internet of Things ecosystem in European sports. An existing sensor solution from Mainova AG already evaluates data at the stadium on the condition of training pitches and green areas, transmitting it via a Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) gateway. With a sophisticated AI platform for predictive analysis of the data, Fujitsu will build upon the existing solution to ensure that water consumption can be further reduced. Fujitsu is also working with EintrachtTech to install a high-performance solution for intelligent queue management at the Deutsche Bank Park fan store.The demand-based irrigation addresses one of the criteria of the Deutsche Fu ß ball Liga's (DFL) recently adopted sustainability guidelines. The DFL was the first professional soccer league to establish a mandatory sustainability guideline in its licensing regulations - with the clear aim of not only handling club management and organization in the most environmentally and resource-friendly way possible, but also promoting economic, ecological, and social sustainability.Optimizing resource utilizationAs part of the partnership, Fujitsu and EintrachtTech will first work to improve queue management in front of the Deutsche Bank Park fan store. Based on the findings of the first pilot, an expansion to other queues such as at sales points in the stadium is planned. At the heart of the project is the Fujitsu IoT Operations Cockpit. Using existing resources such as the sensor technology in the stadium area, data already collected can be processed in such a way that an increase in efficiency can be achieved. Fujitsu acts as an enabler in terms of data science and machine learning as part of an overarching AI portfolio.Fujitsu and EintrachtTech will continue to work in close coordination to deliver decisive gains in efficiency and sustainability, focusing on both the AI-based green space irrigation and the queue management as initial proofs of concept for the transformative potential of the technology. The initial phase of the trial is already underway and will continue into FY 2023.Fujitsu enables smart interaction of sensors, additional data and AI platformThe project aims to realize sustainability step by step. For example, the irrigation of the training grounds and green areas is to be as precise as possible. This means that special sensors already register soil moisture and solar radiation, forwarding the data via LoRaWAN to the existing partner solution, where the current data is evaluated, and the irrigation status is displayed. Using this data together with AI, the Fujitsu IoT Operations Cockpit can then calculate irrigation amount, location, and duration and determine recommended actions to optimize the process. The AI platform prepares the data relevant for the DFL's sustainability criteria in the field of irrigation.Visitor flows: Real-time waiting time displayIn addition to analyzing irrigation data, Fujitsu and EintrachtTech are planning to measure waiting times at the fan store in Deutsche Bank Park. In the course of the pilot phase, the fan store will be equipped with corresponding technology so that the waiting time can be displayed in real time. The transparent display of waiting times should improve the visitor experience and reduce the risk of missing a goal on the green pitch while waiting in line.In this case, the captured data could be fed into the Fujitsu IoT Operations Cockpit with other existing information, too - e.g. from the turnstiles at the entrances - so that further solution scenarios can be worked out immediately.EintrachtTech and Fujitsu: developing sustainable solutions togetherSport can be very important, especially in stressful times. However, it is just as important to handle the available resources in a particularly responsible manner. Early on, EintrachtTech and Fujitsu sat down together for a detailed needs analysis and explored technical solution approaches. After the analysis, they quickly moved on to designing the technical implementation - and soon the first solutions will be piloted."For Fujitsu, this project with the digital center "Arena of IoT" offers a great opportunity to demonstrate our ability to generate an innovative "AIoT" solution, which combines AI and the Internet of Things," comments Steffen Müter, Head of DACH at Fujitsu Services. "The use case not only shows our expertise in deploying AI, Data Science and Machine Learning in the real world, but also makes an important contribution to the environment. We're proud for the chance to participate in EintrachtTech's efforts to promote sustainability, and share with other companies the transformative power of these kinds of joint projects to make good in the world.""Solutions in the field of the Internet of Things enable us to make the operation of Deutsche Bank Park more efficient and sustainable," explains Dr. Oliver Bäcker, Head of digital center "Arena of IoT" at EintrachtTech. "We are pleased to have Fujitsu as an additional partner for the digital center "Arena of IoT", who will contribute its technological know-how in this subject area during project implementation."About FujitsuFujitsu's purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. As the digital transformation partner of choice for customers in over 100 countries, our 124,000 employees work to resolve some of the greatest challenges facing humanity. Our range of services and solutions draw on five key technologies: Computing, Networks, AI, Data & Security, and Converging Technologies, which we bring together to deliver sustainability transformation.

Fujitsu and Sapporo Medical University launch joint project to realize data portability in the healthcare field

January 16, 2023
TOKYO, Jan 16, 2023 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu and Sapporo Medical University today announced the launch of a joint project starting in April 2023 to realize data portability (1) for patients' healthcare data including electronic health records (EHRs) (2) and personal health records (PHRs) (3).Image 1: Overview of the initiativeImage 2: App screen image (in Japanese)As part of the joint project, Fujitsu will develop a mobile app that enables users to view healthcare data on their iPhones (4) and a cloud-based healthcare data platform to manage patients' health data. This project marks the first initiative in Japan to link electronic medical records with Apple's Health app under Apple's support.EHR data stored on the newly developed external healthcare data platform will be converted to a format in accordance with JP Core (FHIR JP Core Implementation Guide Version 1.1.1) (5), the latest Japanese guideline under the next generation standards framework HL7 FHIR for health information exchange.By empowering patients to access their medical data from anywhere at any time and play a more active role in managing their own health, the project aims to contribute to the provision of optimal medical care and services tailored to the health conditions of individual patients while simultaneously improving patient engagement (6).Sapporo Medical University Hospital, the affiliated hospital of Sapporo Medical University, aims to introduce the system in April 2023.BackgroundJapan currently faces increasing demographic pressures as it confronts the challenges posed by one of the oldest populations in the world. In addition to medical services, the usage of medical health data in patients' individual health management represents an important issue both for patients and their families. To enable patients as well as medical providers to more easily manage medical data, many countries world-wide are implementing national standards under the HL7 FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource) framework designed to enable the rapid exchange of healthcare-related information, including medical records and other patient data. Many of these initiatives also increasingly promote the use of smartphone apps for health management.In Japan, however, the scope of use of EHRs and other schemes that allow patients to manage health data on mobiles devices remains limited. To this end, in recent years the Japanese government and relevant ministries started to examine measures (7) to implement a framework whereby patients can manage both EHRs issued by medical institutions and their own vital data by themselves.Fujitsu, which has been working to standardize EHRs and develop secure cloud technologies, and Sapporo Medical University, which has been working to improve the quality of advanced medical care in the Hokkaido area, launched a joint project using healthcare data at Sapporo Medical University Hospital to realize data portability in the healthcare field.About the joint project1.

Fujitsu will develop a smartphone app to access JP Core-compliant cloud-based EHRs issued by Sapporo Medical University Hospital, as well as a cloud-based healthcare data platform to manage patient data. On the app, patients will be able to choose whether they want to store their data externally and to decide about the scope of usage of their personal and healthcare data. In accordance with patients' consent settings, Fujitsu will store information from patients' EHRs and vital data measured by their iPhones or Apple Watches (4) in a healthcare data base. Fujitsu will develop the new app using Apple's "HealthKit" (4) framework and will receive Apple's technical support within this initiative.Using the new system, patients will be able to check past medical information they received from hospitals, including test results and medication prescriptions on the app as part of their individual health management.2. Roles and responsibilitiesFujitsu- Construction of a scheme to convert medical data into HL7 FHIR format- Development and provision of smartphone app for patients to view EHRs- Establishment of a system for consent acquisition and management that enables patients to decide about the use of their healthcare data- Provision of healthcare data platform to manage EHRs, vital data, and other dataSapporo Medical University Hospital- Assistance in development of system to convert medical data into HL7 FHIR format- Support of system design during app development from medical field viewpoint- Improvement of the quality of healthcare through the use of healthcare data in clinical practice- Examination of a new regional healthcare model using a healthcare data platform- Supervision of system design and operation of the new system in the hospital- Promotion of the new app to patientsFuture PlansMoving forward, Fujitsu and Sapporo Medical University will examine additional ways to further utilize healthcare data and realize data portability, and plan to draw on data from multiple medical institutions to build a framework for advanced regional medical cooperation with medical institutions in Hokkaido in Japan.Sapporo Medical University Hospital will promote the development of an environment for the utilization of healthcare data in clinical practice.

The core ideology of EPILLO Health Systems lies in democratization and personalisation of healthcare and fitness services while providing users with privacy and security of their health data. EPILLO group is leveraging the multifarious utilities that blockchain technology offers in primarily healthcare and fitness applications, in a bid to solve some of the major issues in healthcare through its disruptive products and services.

Rapidly increasing burden of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, kills 41 million people each year, equivalent to 74% of all deaths globally, according to WHO. Shockingly, 17 million of these deaths involve people under the age 70 years.

Eisai to Present Full Findings from Lecanemab Confirmatory Phase 3 Clinical Trial (Clarity AD) and Other Alzheimer’s Disease Research at The 15th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) Conference

November 21, 2022
TOKYO, Nov 21, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. will present the efficacy, safety and biomarker findings from the company's Phase 3 confirmatory Clarity AD clinical trial for lecanemab (development code: BAN2401), an investigational anti-amyloid beta (Abeta) protofibril antibody for the potential treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild AD (collectively known as early AD) with confirmed presence of amyloid pathology in the brain, at the 15th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease (CTAD) conference. At the meeting, which will be held in San Francisco, CA and virtually from November 29 to December 2, Eisai and esteemed faculty will present the full data in a scientific session on the first day of the meeting (November 29 at 4:50 p.m. PT). Additionally, other important research from the lecanemab clinical development program and Eisai's AD pipeline, including the company's investigational anti-microtubule binding region (MTBR) tau antibody (E2814), will be presented in four oral and ten poster presentations.Topline results from Clarity AD were announced in late September and showed that lecanemab met the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints with highly statistically significant results, and the profile of Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities (ARIA) incidence was within expectations.Key Eisai Lecanemab CTAD Presentations- Clarity AD: Full results from the Phase 3 confirmatory Clarity AD clinical trial of lecanemab in patients with early AD will be presented in a scientific session on November 29 at 4:50 p.m. PT. Eisai will host a live webcast of presentations in the session and can be viewed live on the investors section of the Eisai Co., Ltd. website.- Abeta Protofibrils Binding Properties: Research studying the characterization of Aβ protofibrils and theunique binding properties and mechanisms of Aβ clearance of lecanemab (Poster #P029)- AHEAD 3-45 Study:o An evaluation of tau PET screening data from the Phase 3 AHEAD 3-45 study of lecanemab for associations with plasma p-tau217 and cognitive testing (Late Breaker Oral #LB1)o A study exploring increased accuracy of amyloid PET prediction in preclinical AD using plasma levels for Abeta42/40 and p-tau217 ratios from the Phase 3 screening data from the AHEAD 3-45 study (Late Breaker Oral #LB2)"Based on the Clarity AD results, the investigational anti-amyloid beta protofibril antibody lecanemab has the potential to make a clinically meaningful difference for people living with the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and their families by slowing cognitive and functional decline," said Lynn Kramer, M.D., Chief Clinical Officer, Alzheimer's Disease and Brain Health at Eisai Co., Ltd. "Eisai is excited to share the results of the company's confirmatory Phase 3 Clarity AD clinical study at CTAD and present important data exploring lecanemab's potential efficacy, safety and use in a variety of early AD patient sub-populations."Eisai aims to file for traditional approval in the U.S. and for marketing authorization applications in Japan and Europe by the end of Eisai's FY2022, which ends March 31, 2023. In July 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted Eisai's Biologics License Application (BLA) for lecanemab under the accelerated approval pathway and granted it Priority Review. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date is January 6, 2023. The FDA has agreed that the results of Clarity AD can serve as the confirmatory study to verify the clinical benefit of lecanemab. In an effort to secure traditional FDA approval for lecanemab as soon as possible, Eisai submitted the BLA through the FDA's Accelerated Approval Pathway so that the agency could complete its review of all lecanemab data with the exception of the data from the confirmatory Clarity AD study. In March 2022, Eisai began submitting application data, with the exception of Clarity AD data, to Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) under the prior assessment consultation system, with the aim of obtaining early approval for lecanemab so that people living with early AD may have access to the therapy as soon as possible.For more information, visit www.eisai.com/news/2022/pdf/enews202279pdf.pdf.

New data extracted from old for materials databases

November 7, 2022
TSUKUBA, Japan, Nov 7, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - A new approach uses data from one type of test on small metal alloy samples to extract enough information for building databases that can be used to predict the properties and potentials of new materials. The details were published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods.The scientists used computer simulations to build database of material properties.The Scientists found a way to use topography around indentation impression to predict other properties measured by a tensile or compression test.The test is called instrumented indentation. It involves driving an indenter tip into a material to probe some of its properties, such as hardness and elastic stiffness. Scientists have been using the data extracted from instrumented indentation to estimate the stress-strain curve of materials using computational simulations. This curve, and the data it provides, is important for understanding a material's properties. That data is also used for building massive materials databases, which can be used, in conjunction with artificial intelligence, for predicting new materials.A problem scientists face is that this approach for estimating material properties is limited when it comes to materials called 'high work-hardening alloys': metal alloys, like steel, that are strengthened through physical processes like rolling and forging. Only so much information can be estimated from the curve of these materials. To get the necessary additional information needed to determine their properties, more experiments would need to be done, which costs time, effort and money.Ta-Te Chen of the University of Tsukuba and Ikumu Watanabe of the National Institute for Materials Science in Japan have developed a new computational approach to extract that additional information from instrumented indentation tests on work-hardening alloys."Our approach builds on an already-existing model, making it ready for use in industry. It is also applicable to existing data, including hardness," says Watanabe.The approach involves combining the results from two computational models, the power-law and linear hardening models, which produce their own individual stress-plastic strain curves from information gathered from indentation tests. Combining the data from both curves provides the extra data that, when added to the original stress-strain curve, shows a more holistic picture of the work-hardening alloys' properties.The scientists validated their approach by using it on a high-work-hardening stainless steel.We have extended this approach to also evaluate mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, which can contribute to the development of high-temperature alloys," says Chen.Further informationIkumu WatanabeNational Institute for Materials ScienceEmail: WATANABE.Ikumu@nims.go.jpAbout Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM Methods)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-MDr. Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Methods Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

Fujitsu conducts private 5G field trials to deliver robust operation automation for data centers

November 4, 2022
TOKYO, Nov 4, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Fujitsu Limited today will embark on a series of field trials together with Fujitsu Research Institute Limited at its Yokohama Data Center, aiming to promote the digital transformation of data centers, boosting operational resilience and process automation by utilizing private 5G network technology for equipment inspection. This verification trial, which will run from December 1, 2022 until March 17, 2023, was selected by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications as one of its "Development Demonstrations Aimed at Achieving Challenge-Solving Local 5G in Fiscal 2022."Fujitsu Yokohama Data CenterImage: Patrol monitoring of equipment by a robotImage: Remote assistance for recovery work in the event of a disaster or other emergenciesThe trial will involve the use of a robot equipped with a 4K camera to capture video data of equipment at the data center, including servers. This data will be transmitted locally by private 5G and a system will be established to analyze on-site conditions with AI to detect any abnormalities at an early stage. Fujitsu aims to create a system that can support the monitoring of conditions on the ground and recovery work even from a remote location in the event of a disaster or emergency by taking full advantage of the high-speed transmission capabilities of private 5G technology.Robust disaster management for resilient data centers to support digital societyAs the digitization of society accelerates and the amount of data distributed rapidly increases, data centers that store and process vast amounts of data are positioned as part of the core infrastructure that supports the digital society of the 21st Century. Highlighting this growing significance, the Japanese government's vision for a "Digital Garden City Nation" calls for the establishment of regional data center facilities with an eye to reducing the risk posed by disasters and other vulnerabilities resulting from the centralization of data centers. As the importance of regional data centers continues to grow, their number is expected to increase rapidly in the future.The key to stable data center operations is high quality maintenance and inspection and rapid recovery in the event of a disaster or other emergency. However, the decrease in the working population and difficulties in securing talent, remains a challenge in many parts of Japan, and this shortage is especially acute in rural areas. Maintaining and improving inspection quality with a limited number of personnel and reducing workload represent an urgent issue for data center operators.Trial OutlineFujitsu will build a private 5G environment at its data center in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and verify the effectiveness of autonomous robots equipped with 4K cameras for patrolling equipment and facilities, make early detection of abnormalities, and offer remote support for field workers in the event of a failure.1.
