AI Driven Bloodless Blood Tests Sean (Shunsuke) Matsuoka, Co-Founder & COO, GPx GPx: https://gpx.ai/
In an aging society, the number of heart failure patients is increasing, making the prevention of readmissions and reduction of medical costs critical issues. Remote monitoring using invasive implantable devices has proven effective in reducing heart failure readmissions, but its use remains limited.
To address this, GPx has developed an algorithm that non-invasively predicts signs of heart failure exacerbation. This algorithm was created using clinical trial data from monitoring 245 heart failure patients over 6 months to a year at eight facilities, including the Mayo Clinic in the U.S. The algorithm links digital biomarker data with vital blood tests (NT-proBNP and creatinine) to achieve high-precision prediction and early medical intervention.
Additionally, with a grant of 1.2 billion yen provided through AMED, we are collaborating with the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (Dr. Chisato Izumi) to conduct a clinical trial involving 400 patients starting April 2025. The trial will be conducted at the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Kyoto University, Kobe University, and Kochi University.
Furthermore, at this year's MIT Japan Conference, we will unveil a groundbreaking point-of-care (POC) potassium testing device for the first time. At the conference, we aim to explore the feasibility of applying our technology to other conditions (such as kidney failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and cardio-oncology) and to assess the potential for providing algorithm-based services for heart failure patients within Japan.

This fast-paced five-day course at MIT provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of additive manufacturing, its applications, and its implications both now and in the future.
Pre-COVID: the name of the game was digital transformation, agility, or optimization. Whilst all of those initiatives are still relevant and ongoing, the pandemic has forced many of us to focus on resilience through whatever forms of disruption we may encounter in the future. COVID-19 measures have changed the way we work and, regardless of whether these changes are temporary or a paradigm shift, we are presented with new challenges. Encouragingly, some of these new challenges have been addressed with innovative solutions to not only resolve the issues today but to also strengthen the overall infrastructure and response for tomorrow.
During this time, cybersecurity concerns have grown as a result of many factors, not least of which is a direct result from individuals being sentenced to work from home. From an industry perspective, companies are also more vulnerable to cybercrimes as they try to operate as much as possible remotely or face temporary or even permanent closures. Taking the valuable lessons learned during an exceptional time, what are the key steps to build a stronger, resilient system? Taking a step back, what are some key vulnerabilities companies should address?
