One of the challenges of the early detection of dementia is the lack of a simple screening method to detect cognitive impairment. A simple non-invasive screening test, when established, will greatly motivate patients to receive the test and thus bring the full benefits of early diagnosis. Eye tracking-based cognitive assessment (ETCA) is a method with scientific and medical foundation that is accessible to everyone, enabling patients to make the best of early diagnosis. The assessment uses data obtained from biological movements, namely of the eyes, toward images or videos, such as the percentage of fixation duration on the correct images, percentage of successful gaze detection, and gaze plot statistics and graphs. This innovative method enables the non-invasive, simple, objective, and quantitative determination of cognitive functions. Users simply look at the monitor screen and follow the instruction displayed to obtain their cognitive assessment.
QuEL, Inc. is a spinout startup from the University of Osaka developing qubit controllers; a crucial component in quantum computer hardware.
SIRC is a startup company from Osaka City University. We develops DX solutions and products utilizing sensing technology. Our main products are the IoT Power Sensor Unit, which can be installed in about 15 seconds and easily measures power usage for any machine, and the IoT Angle Sensor Unit, which turns existing analog meters into IoT devices without major refitting. We also develop our own cloud service, SIRC Cloud, which makes it easy to see and use this data. Through these tools, we support energy saving, decarbonization, and better work efficiency at factories. SIRC helps companies start on-site DX while making good use of their existing equipment.
