Fujitsu launches new cloud-based platform for healthcare sector

Fujitsu launched a new cloud-based platform that allows users to securely collect and leverage health-related data.

The new platform automatically converts medical data from medical institutions' electronic medical records to conform with the next-generation standards framework HL7 FHIR,

Consenting patients can securely store personal health information such as vital data, step counts, and calorie consumption.

These are converted into non-personally identifiable information on the platform, which supports medical institutions and pharmaceutical companies in performing data analysis and R&D activities.

The new offering represents Fujitsu’s ongoing efforts to promote digital transformation in the medical field and contribute to the creation of a healthy society.

Fujitsu will also use the platform to develop a data portability service that enables patients to view their medical data on their smartphones and allows medical institutions to conduct a highly accurate analysis of shared medical data on the platform.

Fujitsu said it aims to leverage this platform to realize an AI and IoT-based preventive healthcare system and cooperate with various medical institutions and companies to realize a digital health ecosystem.
