Fujitsu will analyze data obtained through the trials and further refine its technology based on analysis results evaluated by
Based on these results, the two parties aim to offer a millimeter-wave sensor service for privacy-conscious monitoring to hospitals and nursing facilities in fiscal 2023. Ultimately, the two parties hope to contribute to enrich people's lives by realizing an environment in which elderly people can enjoy greater independence and privacy without sacrificing their personal safety.
Technology to contribute to reducing the risk of serious injuries for the elderly
In fiscal 2021, the
To address this challenge,
About the joint demonstration trials
1. Trial period:
2. Overview:
(1) Demonstration of monitoring technology using millimeter wave sensor
- Demonstration trials of Fujitsu's technology for accurately estimating postures of the human body from point cloud data using a millimeter-wave sensor (announced in
(2) Data measurement during trials with elderly people
- Demonstration trials at hospitals and nursing homes with elderly patients and people that require nursing care; collection of point cloud data of patients' postures using a millimeter wave sensor installed inside the facilities and utilization of Fujitsu's monitoring technology to detect movements that could lead to falls
- Evaluation whether the system is able to accurately detect patients' postures by comparing test results with logs from movement sensors installed around patients' beds(3) and data of cameras(4) installed for the demonstration trials
(3) Development of service for privacy-conscious monitoring
- Fujitsu will analyze specific body movements that lead to falls based on point cloud data obtained with a millimeter-wave sensor point cloud data does not include any personal information of patients' and is thus also suited for highly private spaces

3. Roles and responsibilities:
Fujitsu
Provision of monitoring technology, data collection and analysis, improvements based on technical evaluation
technical evaluation from the viewpoint of medical practice and direction of technical improvement
(1) Behavior analytics technology Actlyzer :
Technology commercialized as Fujitsu's AI technology for video-based behavioral analysis solution "FUJITSU Technical Computing Solution GREENAGES Citywide Surveillance" to recognize human actions.
(2)
Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku,
(3) Movement sensor :
A device to prevent falls and uncontrolled walking around of patients in hospitals and facilities. There are two types of sensors: one that uses infrared light to detect a person's movements, and one that uses a matte sensor or a bed sensor to detect a person's movements.
(4) Cameras are only installed during the demonstration trials. The technology itself does not utilize cameras.
