The oBPM™ revolution: measuring blood pressure continuously and without cuff

CSEM has been the first actor of monitoring HR at wrist and has further optimized its wearable technology portfolio during the last 20 years towards other use cases, e.g. sleep staging, arrhythmia detection and blood pressure measurement. CSEM research on measuring blood pressure continuously and without cuff by optical means started in 2007 and its proprietary oBPM™ technology is now being commercialized by its commercial partners and start-ups (such as aktiia and Biospectal).

Jens Krauss, VP, CSEM

Disseminate instructions & gather deep insights during emergencies.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has been rapidly spreading across Japan, causing fear and anxiety among its residents as well as foreign tourists. With experts preparing for a possible global pandemic, it is becoming ever more critical to forestall the further expansion of the disease by collecting and disseminating accurate information on the ongoing situation.
To comply with these urgent needs, the Tokyo-based high-tech company Bespoke has launched a new multilingual platform for its AI-powered chatbot “Bebot.” Freely available at http://bit.ly/coronavirus-bebot and officially distributed by governments, Bebot now provides residents and inbound tourists with the latest virus-related announcements that are often hardly accessible to non-Japanese speakers. In doing so, it also enables government officials to obtain more in-depth insights into potential victims without increasing the burden of hotline responders or medical professionals.
In this panel, Akemi Tsunagawa, Bespoke’s founder and CEO, will demonstrate how Bebot is transforming the way we communicate during emergencies. By sharing her professional experience developing an AI-powered platform for crisis management, she will initiate a discussion on the future role of digital communication tools in the advent of natural disasters and viral outbreaks.

Panelist:

Akemi Tsunagawa, Director, Bespoke

Aged Technology – the next frontier

Utilization of new technology disrupts the paradigm of many ecosystems and is often resisted in Healthcare. However, when a natural evolution of technology is incorporated into an existing organization, the innovations outpace the disruptive effects while encouraging widespread acclimation. Digital Continuous Care incorporates modern wearable medical technologies and enables reliable patient continuous supervision as a natural evolution of medical monitoring. The combination of AI’s predictive power with the convenience of comfortable wearable medical devices can be fine-tuned with existing healthcare ecosystems. Harnessing Digital Continuous Care will improve patient life style, quality of care, while reducing risk and overall costs.

The Real Challenge for Wearable Tech is to Tackle Global ‘Unmet Medical Need’

Global Unmet Medical Need covers all of the illness medical science can’t currently address. Examples include Sepsis, TB, Malaria, Dengue Fever and even Covid 19. The global population affected every year can run to 1 billion, and the cost at several $trillion. There’s little point addressing health-tech markets that simply upgrade an existing technology, when Unmet Medical Need is the real driver.

Why It’s Important For Digital Health Tech Businesses, Whatever Their Size, To Have A China Strategy

It’s never been more important for businesses to have a China strategy. If you think you need to wait until your business is ‘of a certain size’ before even considering doing business with China, this simply isn’t the case anymore. In fact, doing business with China can actually help your business to scale up. And because of China’s sheer size and market capacity, if you succeed in China, you succeed BIG. Key takeaways for the delegates:
  • Learn about Innovative trends in China and indications for UK digital health businesses
  • Learn how to scale up in China
  • Understand China’s unique business culture
  • Increase your knowhow of digital marketing trends in China
  • Learn how to overcome the pitfalls: International trade & IP Protection; lack of access; language and culture barriers

Recovery in Digital

Since our company was founded we have been constantly looking into ways how VR can be used other than in gaming or military training. We dug into medical journals and found a lot of publications saying that VR has a great potential in Cerebral Palsy rehabilitation. However, there was no empirical proof actually saying that yes, it is effective and here is the solution. When we looked further we were shocked when we found that apparently Cerebral Palsy is the biggest children’s disability cause in the developed world and there is no cure against it, you can only help the child by providing rehabilitation programmes that are formed mainly by physiotherapists. However, these rehabilitation programmes are extremely expensive and they generally require children visiting special rehabilitation facilities, where they can use special equipment to do some exercises. This is where we thought that pretty soon anyone will be able to afford VR equipment to be installed at home, and if you were you to have a special rehabilitative software, then you could potentially save millions in rehabilitation costs and make the whole process more effective. So we accepted the challenge. We partnered with best in class neurophysiologists and pediatricians and developed Inveion - an immersive rehabilitation platform that changes the way people with disabilities rehabilitate.
