Technical Cooperation
for Research at Chiba University
Hospital Pain Center
Lower back pain is a major disease affecting Japanese people; according to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, most (about 85%) of patients with lower back pain who visit hospital outpatient clinics have nonspecific lower back pain with no identifiable cause.
Lower back pain is estimated to be the cause of 3 trillion yen in economic losses. The Pain Center at Chiba University Hospital will conduct a study to measure the effects of various treatments on patients with nonspecific chronic lower back pain with no identifiable cause, and the study will examine neurofeedback along with cognitive behavioral therapy and exercise therapy as potential treatment methods.
MEDIASEEK has provided technical cooperation in the form of an app and device for neurofeedback.
Mild Dementia
Screening Project
Dementia is one of the biggest social issues in Japan. The number of patients with dementia is expected to increase, with the Cabinet Office estimating that by 2030 there will be more than 7 million dementia patients in the country.
Since no cure for the root cause of dementia has yet been established, it is important to detect mild dementia, with mild symptoms, at an early stage.
For this early detection, MEDIASEEK has partnered with a manufacturer developing devices to research and develop a service that screens for mild dementia based on brain responses using BrainTech technology.
