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.

We are a company dedicated to the social implementation of molecular simulation technologies developed in the Washizu Laboratory at the University of Hyogo. Our office is located on the University of Hyogo campus in Kobe’s Port Island, adjacent to the supercomputer Fugaku. We currently provide analysis and R&D support using large-scale molecular simulations, and we are also developing a molecular–fluid coupled simulator as well as mesoscale simulators for material surfaces based on particle methods.

Provision of advanced technology equipment, robot equipment, communication equipment, software and related services

A deep tech startup supporting brain care and cognitive function enhancement. Using CogEvo, developed in collaboration with researchers, we visualize cognitive function and aim to extend working life and healthy life expectancy through training and social implementation.

We conduct research and development on software that integrates high-speed search technology for various media with AI. Our technology is utilized in numerous systems, including an AI-based dental panoramic X-ray image diagnosis support system, a dental X-ray image search system, and an illegal content detection system for the Internet.
