Fujitsu and Tokai National Higher Education and Research System sign partnershipto create wellbeing society and develop space technologies, contribute to theachievement of the SDGs and Society 5.0
Tokyo and Nagoya, February 24, 2023 – Fujitsu and Tokai National Higher Education andResearch System (hereinafter THERS) today announced the signing of a partnership tocontribute to the achievement of the SDGs and the realization of Society 5.0 (1) throughinitiatives in the fields of healthcare and space technology.
As part of their partnership, Fujitsu and THERS will work toward the realization of awellbeing society through the creation of a virtuous cycle model of community-based healthand medical care in the Japanese Tokai region (2). To improve local health services andcontribute to the resolution of various societal issues, Fujitsu and THERS will leverage life
design research results of THERS’ Center for Research, Education, and Development forHealthcare Life Design (3)(hereinafter, C-REX) and advanced technologies including anelectronic medical record system developed by Fujitsu Japan (4) and Fujitsu’s AItechnologies.
The two parties will further collaborate on the development of space technologies including
systems for space weather forecasting to solve challenges related to human exploration ofouter space. To enable more precise countermeasures to various weather phenomena inspace, Fujitsu and THERS will leverage world-class space weather prediction models andsatellite and ground observation databases of the Institute for Space-Earth Environmental
Research (hereinafter ISEE) at Nagoya University and Fujitsu’s supercomputing technology
for large-scale simulations and AI based data analysis technologies.
Outline of the partnership and areas of cooperation
1. Healthcare – Creation of a local, patient-centered health and medical ecosystem
Community-based health services and medical services play an important role in therealization of a sustainable, human-centered wellbeing society.
To realize a data-driven virtuous cycle model for community-based health and medicalcare, and ultimately contribute to the creation of a patient-centered ecosystem andwellbeing society, Fujitsu and THERS will accumulate health examination data collected incooperation with medical institutions and local governments in the Tokai region
collaborating with C-REX, as well as patients’ medical information from smart devices,
medical checkups and electronic medical records on a platform for managing individual
healthcare data developed by Fujitsu. Fujitsu and THERS will further establish a new cloudbased data analytics center for analyzing the accumulated data by leveraging Fujitsu's AI
technology and medical knowledge from THERS’ data scientists.
Fujitsu is promoting this initiative as part of its vision for "Healthy Living," one of its key
focus areas under its global business brand Fujitsu Uvance, to help create a world thatenriches the life experience of everyone. Based on the analysis results from this project,
Fujitsu will develop new healthcare-related services in Japan, contributing to the resolutionof societal issues, including the prevention of frailty.

2. Safety in space – improvement of space weather forecast simulations to solve
challenges related to human exploration of outer space
In addition to classical weather forecasting, space weather forecasting – the predictionof weather phenomena in space including solar flares, sunspots, solar winds andradiation – has been gaining growing attention amid increasing human activities inouter space. To enable more precise countermeasures to various weather phenomenain space from the ground and the geosphere, and ultimately ensure safe exploration ofouter space, Fujitsu and THERS will work to improve the accuracy and speed offorecast simulations. To improve prediction models for space weather forecast
simulations, Fujitsu and THERS will leverage the Fujitsu supercomputer "Flow"
installed by the Information Technology Center, Nagoya University in 2020 andFujitsu's large-scale simulation, tuning, and data analysis technologies, in combination
with ISEE's data from ground observation satellites and prediction models for solar
surface phenomena.
Fujitsu and THERS will further collaborate to train talent toward the future
institutionalization of space weather forecasting to ensure safe exploration in the earth
atmosphere, on the moon, Mars and interplanetary space.
