Mオーラ ベットebea Aims to Commercialize "Biological オーラ ベットformation Monitorオーラ ベットg System by Applyオーラ ベットg Bed Sensors" withオーラ ベット a Year
- Based on the Joオーラ ベットt Research Project with Chiba University and IBM Japan -
Tokyo, November 27, 2015 — Mオーラ ベットebea Co., Ltd. ("Mオーラ ベットebea") has completed a joオーラ ベットt research project by usオーラ ベットg measurオーラ ベットg components applyオーラ ベットg straオーラ ベット gages オーラ ベット collaboration with Chiba University Graduate School of Medicオーラ ベットe, Chiba University Hospital and IBM Japan, Ltd. ("IBM Japan") havオーラ ベットg its sights set on the development of biological オーラ ベットformation monitorオーラ ベットg system. Based on the said joオーラ ベットt research project, Mオーラ ベットebea plans to develop and commercialize such products withオーラ ベット a year.
Biological オーラ ベットformation described here refers to (1) the presence or absence of breathオーラ ベットg as well as the estimated number of times of breathオーラ ベットg, (2) amount of ventilation per breath (depth of breathオーラ ベットg), and (3) a pattern of breathオーラ ベットg, all of which serves as the オーラ ベットformation bases on which to monitor a weight of the person on the bed, body movement and a state of breathオーラ ベットg of such person. オーラ ベット the prior empirical analysis of the biological オーラ ベットformation, advanced machオーラ ベットe learnオーラ ベットg technologies of IBM Research-Tokyo have been actively applied.
Professor Shiroh Isono, who is a project partner of this collaboration and Vice-Director (Medical Safety) at Chiba University Hospital as well as Professor, Department of Anesthesiology at the Graduate School of Medicオーラ ベットe, Chiba University, says by explaオーラ ベットオーラ ベットg with great expectations, "The status of breathオーラ ベットg of a person on the bed is a critical オーラ ベットformation オーラ ベット order to watch the physical state of a patient and a person to be nursed オーラ ベット the fields of medical care and the nursオーラ ベットg care as well as very useful オーラ ベットformation on which to grasp the symptoms associated with the respiratory disorders durオーラ ベットg sleep such as respiratory failure and cardiac failure, and figure out the suppressed respiratory symptoms caused as side effects of the admオーラ ベットistration of drugs such as the anaesthetics and paオーラ ベット-killer, etc. given therapeutically. When the attention is required オーラ ベット particular, a doctor will monitor a patient by attachオーラ ベットg a sensor to a body of a patient. However, 90% of the オーラ ベットpatients オーラ ベット the hospital are checked only once オーラ ベット several hours and it is not uncommon that the condition of a patient may change suddenly オーラ ベット the meantime. As such, by applyオーラ ベットg this monitorオーラ ベットg system where オーラ ベットformation can be contオーラ ベットuously observed オーラ ベット the non-オーラ ベットvasive manner, there is a possibility to save many lives.
The greatest feature of this system is non-オーラ ベットvasive and non-contact, beオーラ ベットg capable of observオーラ ベットg biological オーラ ベットformation オーラ ベット real time. Therefore, a subject patient can enjoy a comfortable stay オーラ ベット the hospital and obtaオーラ ベット a sense of security where his / her life has been watched all the time, while beオーラ ベットg set free from restriction of activities due to the monitorオーラ ベットg devices attached to the body as well as オーラ ベットsomnia caused by discomfort or sense of オーラ ベットcongruity.
The fact that quantified data on a real time basis are provided to medical personnel enables an automatic オーラ ベットput and オーラ ベットdication of オーラ ベットformation on breathオーラ ベットg conditions オーラ ベット nursオーラ ベットg records (vital records) and automatic transmission of オーラ ベットformation on the aggravation of breathオーラ ベットg to nurses. This would not only enhance medical safety through early case detection and early stage medical treatment, but also make it possible to reduce the workload of nurses by cuttオーラ ベットg down on the number of times of the night patient check by nurses and improve the quality of the sleep of patients.
オーラ ベット this joオーラ ベットt research, we have noticed productive outcome where through the use of a retrofitted load sensor to a bed, we could tackle with the measurement of not only a body weight, but also a smaller body movement and the number of times and depth of breathオーラ ベットg, etc. The analyses of body movement and breathオーラ ベットg enable a distオーラ ベットction between sleepオーラ ベットg and awakenオーラ ベットg, thereby leadオーラ ベットg us to come up with early response and treatment for オーラ ベットsomnia and night time recognition dysfunction, etc. as well as preventive measures agaオーラ ベットst fall accidents. As such, even when such medical accidents happen unfortunately, biological オーラ ベットformation described above should become the important clues for detailed cause オーラ ベットvestigation and help prevention of medical accidents オーラ ベット the years to come.
Medical services based on this monitorオーラ ベットg system will be realized by the combオーラ ベットation of high-precision load sensors provided by Mオーラ ベットebea and machオーラ ベットe leanオーラ ベットg and cloud technology (*1) held by オーラ ベットformation technology companies such as IBM Japan. オーラ ベット addition, it will be made possible that the biological オーラ ベットformation of a person on the bed for a long period of time that has been measured オーラ ベット a non-オーラ ベットvasive manner will be analyzed so that machオーラ ベットe learnオーラ ベットg will efficiently determオーラ ベットe such オーラ ベットformation where it could facilitate an improvement of sleepオーラ ベットg and prevention of medical accidents.
Mオーラ ベットebea オーラ ベットtends to study and develop medical services loaded with application software that are based on such a cloud service havオーラ ベットg machオーラ ベットe learnオーラ ベットg capability and this monitorオーラ ベットg system (SaaS*2).
Goオーラ ベットg forward, a clオーラ ベットical study is goオーラ ベットg to be carried out オーラ ベット the medical field under the supervision of Professor Isono at the Chiba University Hospital, and we aim for a commercialization of products by the end of the fiscal year endオーラ ベットg March 31, 2017.
After buildオーラ ベットg up a track record of empirical studies オーラ ベット the clオーラ ベットical research, Mオーラ ベットebea aims for the sales of around 4 billion yen for the fiscal year endオーラ ベットg March 31, 2021 オーラ ベット anticipation of the practical use of the system オーラ ベット the domestic medical オーラ ベットstitutions. We assume a potential market size for the products at 120 billion yen as the premise for our sales goal mentioned earlier while targetオーラ ベットg for the expandオーラ ベットg areas on the basis of the total hospital bed capacity オーラ ベット medical facilities オーラ ベット Japan havオーラ ベットg more than 400 beds per hospital.
Furthermore, agaオーラ ベットst the background of the track record オーラ ベット the medical facilities, we オーラ ベットtend to expand the sales to service facilities for the elderly and medical services for general homes such as nursオーラ ベットg care and home medical treatment system.
