Under the Alliance, OMRON and JMDC Groups will jointly develop personalized aggravation and nursing care prevention solutions that support prescription medication treatments and patient lifestyle changes, by predicting the risk of the onset of individual patient events (possibility and timing). We aim to offer these solutions through the analysis of medical data that JMDC Group possesses (such as medical prescriptions and medical examinations) combined with blood pressure, vital signs and levels of physical activity data gathered by OMRON Group.
