■Increasing Healthy Cries of Newborns Worldwide■ What we aim to achieve is a world where everyone can give birth to a child with peace of mind. 【The Reality Surrounding New Lives】 Did you know that there are many lives unable to be born healthy into this world? Approximately 95% of perinatal deaths* occur in developing countries, resulting in the loss of 3.9 million babies annually. Among these, the situation is particularly severe in Africa. (*Perinatal deaths refer to fetal/neonatal deaths that occur between 22 weeks of pregnancy and 7 days after birth.) 【Can We Hear the Voice of the Fetus?】 This tragic reality is believed to be a consequence of the shortage of highly educated doctors and midwives. While Cardiotocography (CTG), commonly used in advanced countries, could be a solution, its high cost and the need for medical expertise and extended education for interpretation hinder its widespread adoption in developing nations. Moreover, a significant problem is the severe shortage of healthcare professionals in Africa compared to the number of patients. The ratio of healthcare providers to patients in Africa is one-tenth that of Japan. Even in hospitals where CTG has been introduced, there is a shortage of personnel to continuously monitor and care for fetal well-being. 【Saving Lives through Technology】 We believe that if we could hear the "voice of the fetus" in the form of data through CTG, we could provide appropriate care at the right time and hear the healthy cries of many more babies. With the support of AI, there would be no need for medical practitioners to undergo interpretation training. AI can assess situations requiring medical intervention, and healthcare professionals can be alerted accordingly. By promoting the adoption of this technology, which supports evidence-based diagnoses for healthcare professionals, we aim to contribute to the resolution of challenges concerning human lives.
