Goal 3

Bringing high-resolution medical imaging monitors to market

We have developed the MS55i2plus and the i3 Series (CL-S200/CL-S300) as our mainstay medical-use image display monitors. The MS55i2plus contributes to improved efficiency of mammography interpretation with higher luminance and contrast than conventional medical-use monitors, while the i3 Series use our proprietary Dynamic Gamma function to achieve optimal gradation expression for both monochrome and color images and improve the efficiency of radiogram interpretation for complex diagnoses. These all support proper and rapid diagnoses in clinical settings.

Developing ExoCounter to support very early diagnoses of illnesses

ExoCounter is our proprietary device for digitally measuring exosomes (small vesicles found in bodily fluids) expected to serve as biomarkers for cancer and a variety of other diseases. Applying this device to joint research with university laboratories and other research organizations, pharmaceutical companies, diagnostic equipment manufacturers, etc., will help us advance development toward the very early diagnosis of diseases and treatments tailored to individual patients.

Developing the gaze tracking system Gazefinder to contribute to social issues of low birthrate and longevity

The gaze tracking system Gazefinder is expected to support the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) which is one of the developmental disorders and also to be applied to diagnosis of dementia patients. In both cases, it will reduce the burden of patients and their family by realizing proper medical treatment and care through early and accurate diagnosis. As the measures to encourage the youth to participate in the society, as well as to extend the elderly’s healthy life expectancy within the society of low-birthrate and longevity, we are working to promptly develop the application of Gazefinder into medical equipment in collaboration with universities.
