Theoria technologies will accelerate decision-making and strengthen the hiring and training of digital talent under an organizational structure optimized for digital business, and will utilize clinical study data that Eisai has accumulated over many years as well as cohort study data, Personal Health Records (PHR), and other data to develop various prediction algorithms, create digital solutions and provide data.

2. About algorithms for predicting the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia for early detection
For MCI and dementia, there is a challenge that patients might be unaware of the progression of their symptoms leading to a delay in consultation and diagnosis. By enabling people with dementia to predict their own condition, it is hoped that it will lead to greater implementation of prevention activities and that greater action will be taken toward early diagnosis. The service is aimed for launch in fiscal 2024.

3. About Sasaeru, a communication application for doctors, caregivers and people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia

Sasaeru is an application developed by Eisai that records Activities of Daily Living (ADL), which is important information in the treatment of dementia, and allows users to visually capture changes in ADL. Its purpose is to resolve problems with communication in the field of dementia care between doctors, caregivers, and people with dementia. The service launch was announced in May 2023 at the Japan Academy for Alzheimer’s Disease, an academic research society of dementia specialists. From 2024, as a Theoria technologies service and in collaboration with Eisai, proof of concept research will be conducted at even more medical institutions to build evidence and promote nationwide development within Japan.
