The World Health Organization forecasts a dramatic rise in global cancer cases, with projections of over 35 million new cases by 2050. In response, Japanese startups are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and focused ultrasound technologies to enhance cancer diagnosis and treatment. Notably, AI Medical Service and Sonire Therapeutics are at the forefront of these innovations, aiming to improve patient outcomes significantly.
AI Medical Service's gastroAI model-G assists doctors in identifying potential cancer lesions during endoscopic procedures, reducing the risk of missed diagnoses. Meanwhile, Sonire Therapeutics is pioneering high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology, which offers a minimally invasive treatment option for pancreatic cancer, potentially improving survival rates. These advancements reflect a broader trend in Japan's healthcare sector, emphasizing the integration of AI to combat the growing cancer burden.
