A new press release out of the company reports, “Fujitsu has unveiled a new healthcare solution designed to improve clinical decision-making, following a successful field trial with San Carlos Clinical Hospital in Madrid. The solution has been developed on the back of the company’s in-depth research into applying advanced data analytics for healthcare applications. It has involved working in close collaboration with San Carlos Clinical Hospital’s expert clinicians, applying Fujitsu’s principles of co-creation to deliver tangible value in the field of mental healthcare. It deploys Fujitsu Laboratories’ state of the art anonymisation technologies and Fujitsu’s data analytics technologies, tailored to meet the specific needs of the local Spanish healthcare sector. The technology will form the basis of a new Health Application Programming Interface (API), to be deployed in the Fujitsu cloud or delivered locally in a private cluster or cloud.”

The release goes on, “Fujitsu Laboratories of Europe developed its Advanced Clinical Research Information System ‘HIKARI’, which stands for Health Informatics for Knowledge fusion in Advanced Research Innovations. The system is designed to bring together the insights of leading psychiatrists, semantic technologies and data analytics. Meaning ‘light’ in Japanese, HIKARI combines an advanced set of microservices that allow clinicians to extract knowledge and perform analyses across multiple data sources relevant for a patient’s health.”

It continues, “HIKARI allows clinicians to explore patient data from a completely new perspective. It transforms the raw data, which is noisy and sits in isolated silos in different hospital departments, into clear and understandable knowledge that can be used for insightful clinical decision-making. It assists clinicians to conduct research in a more efficient way, improving the outcome of their studies and giving them significantly more time to focus on treating patients. HIKARI also delivers management benefits, helping the understanding of how different resources and policies contribute to patient health. The HIKARI system is part of Fujitsu’s digital solutions and services being developed under the human-centric AI initiative, Zinrai. This comprises a comprehensive framework of component technology, such as machine learning, deep learning and visual recognition.”
