Information for new questionnaires

【Purpose】

We have made a significant revision to our previous questionnaires in order to make AI predictive analysis of multiple diseases including diabetes possible in the near future.

The number of questions will be increased to cover the essential factors to predict lifestyle diseases, however, it will be more convenient because your data will be saved due to web questionnaires that makes you be able to skip certain questions from the next year.

(We do not use all questionnaires for the analysis at this point, however, we recommend you to answer all the questions because it could be used for lifestyle disease improvement program in the future. Answering these questions might give you an opportunity to improve your lifestyle as well.)

In consequence of new system, your personal data to predict lifestyle diseases will be reflected on your medical examination report. We commit to provide the best solutions and excellent service based on your continuous medical examination data.

-Background-
The technical advance of AI enables to compile enormous amount of data effectively. This achievement has been applied in medical field as well. TOSHIBA developed algorithm which enables to predict diabetes by analyzing medical examination data using AI. Questions related to lifestyle diseases, which had not been used effectively, are now categorized and used along with blood test results. As a result, AI analysis came true. We applied algorithm on the data in our clinic and confirmed that it can be used in this clinic effectively.
We have presented our joint research with TOSHIBA as the title of “Development of algorithm to predict diabetes using AI analysis of medical examination data” at annual scientific meeting of Japan Society of Ningen Dock in 2019.
