Fujitsu : Improving quality of life for cancer patients through AI breakthroughs in genomics

-What challenges do you hope to take on in the future as cancer genome medicine continues to evolve?

Dr. Imoto: The Aichi Cancer Center, a comprehensive cancer center that integrates the research institute and the hospital, will continue to provide each patient and family with the best cancer care for all life stages, from prevention to diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment. Through the hospital, we hope to contribute to the evolution of cancer care in Japan and worldwide by making available the results of the Aichi Cancer Center's efforts in early-stage diagnosis, drug and immunotherapy, and prevention based on genomic information.

In this context, we believe that the effective use of AI technology will advance the average quality of cancer care and lead to optimal personalized cancer care for each individual. I believe that there are still many areas in genomic medicine that can be solved by the elemental technologies in which Masaru specializes. Therefore, I would like to see the company actively incorporate technological innovations that will have a ripple effect on genomic medicine.

Masaru: I would like to use my expertise in AI technology and apply it to medicine, a field where I can make a significant contribution to society, to help treat patients. As a researcher, I believe it is important to imagine what I am trying to achieve in the future while striving to develop the technology at hand. I believe that creating a society in which people can live healthy, prosperous, and enjoyable lives is where technology should come into its own.

We want to fully deploy this system and contribute to the well-being of as many people as possible by creating a stress-free environment where information is efficiently integrated.
