JMDC, OMRON and the University of Tsukuba develop a highly accurate model for predicting the risk of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) using claims, health checkup and lifelog data

JMDC, OMRON Corporation and the University of Tsukuba developed an AI model to predict the risk of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) requiring treatment by combining claims and health checkup data with life-log data from Pep Up. The research findings were published as an academic paper, and the parties aim to use the model in a prediction service in the future.
