How Toshiba is Employing “Unemployed” Data to Create a World of Co-Existence and Co-Creation

Leave a comment

SINGAPORE, May 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — When data is processed, organized and presented in a given context, it becomes meaningful information that can improve our daily lives. Toshiba’s Chief Digital Officer Taro Shimada shares more on how Toshiba Data Corporation, newly established in 2020, aims to explore the possibilities of tapping on everyday data to realize tangible benefits for society.

Big Data and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

From Data 1.0 to Data 2.0

According to estimates by the IDC (International Data Corporation), the total amount of data in the world will grow more than five times from 2018 to 2025 – a veritable explosion of data in just seven years. And this growth is expected to continue. Toshiba believes that the amount of data created from the physical world – things like factory equipment and transportation systems – will far exceed the data created in the cyber business.

With the company’s offerings and involvement in point-of-sales (POS) systems, industrial machinery and social infrastructure, Toshiba can transcribe the data from the physical world, feed it into cyberspace, and then combine the new data with already existing cyber data to create something of value.

The company is focused on aggregating behavioral data of consumers in the physical world, and with their permission or after anonymizing the data, give value created back to the consumer. Various service providers could provide different customer offerings according to the data gathered.

An example is the ‘Smart Receipt’ developed by Toshiba TEC Corporation, a Smart Receipt system that digitizes paper receipts that customers would receive when they make payments at stores. Depending on how it is applied, it could even be used as a tool for regional vitalization.

Toshiba Data is considering to offer management support to medical institutions. By collaborating with other providers, Toshiba aims to help medical institutions to analyze patients’ data and identify various pre-symptomatic diseases for health monitoring purposes. Overcoming challenges, Toshiba Data is committed to create an ecosystem where everyone can reap the benefits of data.

VeChain and I-Dante Co-developed E-HCert, A Blockchain-based COVID-19 Records App For the Citizens of Cyprus

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — With the pandemic putting healthcare systems under strain worldwide, Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are also shifting requirements for data security and sharing. As the leading public blockchain platform, VeChain furthers the collaboration with I-Dante to co-develop E-HCert App, which provides an archival solution for COVID-19 RT-PCR (real time-polymerase chain reaction) and antibodies tests (Rapid Test) records.

The success between VeChain and I-Dante previously on blockchain-enabled medical solution has led to the idea for the E-HCert App, which is now adopted by the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus. The new EHR system provides a secured method of on-chaining the COVID-19 related tests, giving the result of the health status of the individual, and allowing all concerning parties to access said health information at the discretion of the individual. With this set up, the individual can go about life as usual.

Compatible EHRs Should Compare Notes On The Pandemic

In the case of COVID-19, the testing results of citizens can be vital for public welfare and personal rights. Authorities worldwide are calling healthcare institutions to provide secure and legit access to health status information. Citizens themselves would also need trustworthy and reliable proof for their own health condition and full control over their privacy. However, current EHR systems are revealing serious deficiencies in terms of its interoperability, immutability, compliance, and the cost.

There is, therefore, an urgent need for the collection of trustworthy and standardized encrypted medical records that can be safely shared between multi parties.  This is where blockchain technology comes in and becomes the de facto choice for such an implementation.

The Most Feasible Choice For EHR reform: The Public Blockchain

This public blockchain-based E-HCert App provides an archival solution for COVID-19 RT-PCR (real time-polymerase chain reaction) and antibodies tests (Rapid Test) records, which will be utilized to enhance the hospital’s COVID-19 management and response at the end of May 2020.

When a Cyprus citizen goes to the hospital and undergoes RT-PCR and antibodies tests, the testing records will be uploaded onto the VeChainThor Blockchain, and the immutably recorded results are then shown in the E-HCert Native App.  As E-HCert fully complies with the GDPR, the App enables the owner to have complete control over their profiles, and use it to prove his or her health status when trying to return to work, take a flight abroad, and get authorized for other activities. 

Enabling The Next Wave Of Digital Health Reform

COVID-19 has prompted an expansion of industrial power in healthcare. A recent report found that 33 of the 50 US-based hospitals examined were working with Amazon, Google, or Microsoft. The Wall Street Journal said the internet giants are also wrestling for control in health-care  markets.

Compared with traditional technologies, blockchain provides better opportunities for companies to review their healthcare data systems, optimize the workflow design, while simultaneously enabling every patient to safely hold their records and share it immediately with any party in the world.

As the world’s leading public blockchain platform, VeChain intends to use its experience in the blockchain industry to empower more partners in the healthcare sector. By doing so, VeChain will play a central role in the acceleration of the digitalization of the healthcare industry.

About Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus

The Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus is a modern private health care institution, one of the largest in Cyprus, with a mission to provide to all the citizens and the visitors of the country safe and high-quality medical services 24/7. The founder of the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus, Dr. Andreas Panayiotou has set as a goal the development and the establishment of a reliable infirmary, with flexible operational mechanisms, in order to gain the trust and recognition for the quality of its services from everybody.

Together they will accelerate pharma clients’ ability to bring life-saving drugs to market through automation of medical and regulatory report writing

NEW YORK, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Arria NLG, a leading provider of Natural Language Generation (NLG) technology, today announced a collaboration with Glemser Technologies to bring scalable automation solutions and major efficiencies to healthcare and pharmaceuticals companies. Glemser will augment its global Life Sciences Practice with a Natural Language Generation solution powered by Arria technologies.

Glemser leverages Arria NLG artificial intelligence technology to dramatically accelerate clinical trial and regulatory reporting.
Glemser leverages Arria NLG artificial intelligence technology to dramatically accelerate clinical trial and regulatory reporting.

“Partnering with Arria to provide our clients with a way to automate the writing of medical and regulatory reports was a natural choice,” says Ray Glemser, CEO. “NLG allows companies to save significant time and money while increasing scalability and efficiency. Arria’s break-through technology will transform the way our customers bring life-saving drugs to market.”

For over 30 years, Glemser has served life science clients by ensuring product quality, improving regulatory compliance, and gaining operational efficiencies. Glemser understands the unique challenges pharma companies face. Bringing a drug to market can be a difficult, costly, and drawn-out process. Pharma companies consistently have to report to regulators, governments, and consumers on drug efficacy and safety. They are constantly under pressure to deliver increased transparency, accountability, and innovation in their drug-development process while staying in budget. Through strategic application of technology, Glemser is committed to helping their clients modernize their drug-development processes.

By automating some of the most time-consuming reporting — such as Clinical Safety Reports (CSRs), Compliance Reports, Adverse Event Detection, and other regulatory reports — firms can reap cost savings and free their medical writers from the tedious work that is most prone to human error. Faster reporting means they can present findings to regulatory authorities more quickly. Improved accuracy early on in the reporting process means better compliance and faster regulatory approval.

“We are in a crucial moment, given today’s world events, when pharmaceutical companies’ ability to increase efficiencies and speed to market is more important than ever,” said Sharon Daniels, CEO of Arria. “Our collaboration with Glemser is a path to expedite decision-making and time to insights for those companies working to bring life-saving treatment to patients faster.”

Icertis Contributes to Haffkine Institute in Support of the Fight Against COVID-19

At this time, when there are no vaccines to stop the pandemic spread nor established curative treatment methods, the need to develop effective treatments has become critical. Heeding to the efforts of the Indian government to curtail further growth of the pandemic, Haffkine Institute is working on the development of new treatment modalities for COVID-19. The Institute is working with the state government, various government-run hospitals and Pune’s BJ Medical College to test potential cures for COVID-19. The trial that Icertis is funding will assess whether BCG can help bolster the immune system of patients.

“The Haffkine Institute has been a center for scientific and industrial research since its inception in 1896,” said Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, Secretary, Medical Education & Drugs Department, Government of Maharashtra. “We are grateful to Icertis for the generous contribution towards the Institute’s efforts to tackle the spread of COVID-19. We are constantly working on ways to develop new treatments for COVID-19 and this contribution will help our teams immensely as we unite to win this battle against the virus.”

The Haffkine Institute is an autonomous research institute with an illustrious history. Established in 1896 and named after the inventor of the plague vaccine, Dr. Waldemar Mordecai Haffkine, it has operated as a public trust supported by the State of Maharashtra since 1975, focused on training, research and testing to prevent and cure communicable diseases. Much of its research has been focused on testing, monitoring, prevention and treatment of communicable diseases like Influenza, H1N1 and Rabies.

“As the world comes to terms with the enormity of the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to come together to find a cure,” said Monish Darda, CTO & Co-founder Icertis. “Helping to take care of our community is part of the Four Rings of Responsibility that every Icertian wears proudly. And with the Haffkine Institute, there is a personal connection to me and Pune as well – I remember the stories my grandfather used to tell me about life during the plague that hit Mumbai and Pune, and the development of the plague vaccine. We are thankful to Haffkine Institute for working tirelessly to develop a COVID-19 vaccine and are proud to play a small part in the global fight to beat COVID-19.”

Icertis’ gift was made possible by voluntary reductions in pay to CEO and Co-founder Samir Bodas, CTO and Co-founder Monish Darda and continues Icertis’ efforts to address the needs of the community. Last month, Icertis donated INR 25 lakh to ensure the safety of brave doctors, nurses, and hospital staff of Naidu Hospital, Pune, with personal protection equipment, including N95 masks, gowns, and gloves, hand sanitizer dispensers, and viral transport media (VTM) kits, which protect test samples in transit to the lab. Since the start of this pandemic, Icertis has contributed more than US$200,000 to the organizations worldwide, including the University of Washington, the German Red Cross and the Seattle Alliance for Education in its effort to contribute to the communities in which it operates.

A Microsoft partner, MicrotechDPS provide its clients with an extensive range of IT solutions and services to assist and enhance in the day-to-day running of their business. Looking to add a process automation solution to their list of offerings, MicrotechDPS came across the FlowForma Process Automation tool, and quickly sought a demonstration to discover its capabilities.

Upon seeing the tool in action, MicrotechDPS were confident they had found the right process automation app to supply to its clients. A 3-in-1 tool combining forms, workflow and document generation that could sit on top of Office 365 was their ideal preference. FlowForma Process Automation’s no-code methodology and rapid prototyping capabilities only further rubber-stamped their decision.

Having a long history of delivering successful process automation projects, MicrotechDPS wanted to be able to combine its skills in this area by helping organizations leverage and build on top of any existing Microsoft Office 365 platform clients may have. FlowForma Process Automation was the perfect solution for them to deliver process automation to those who already have, or are considering moving to, SharePoint Online.

The new partnership emphasizes FlowForma’s commitment to empowering its global customer base, with the company excited to ramp-up operations in Australia and surrounding countries in the APAC region. From initial conversations, it became clear that both FlowForma and MicrotechDPS hold similar cultural and business values, meaning a partnership was the obvious and natural choice for both parties.

“We are thrilled to be working alongside FlowForma to provide our clients across Australia and the APAC region with a powerful process automation tool, to automate their business processes. From our initial conversations we could clearly see similarities in our customer base and the industries with which we serve, it was a unanimous decision,” said Joel Steers, General Manager, MicrotechDPS.

Olivia Bushe, CEO, FlowForma added: “It gives me great pleasure to announce MicrotechDPS as a FlowForma partner. We are truly excited of the potential opportunities this partnership can bring to construction, healthcare, finance and public organizations across the APAC region, helping them to digitize processes and prepare for a paperless and social distancing world.”
