Fujitsu has reached separate agreements with three Japanese centers for advanced medical research and with Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) with the goal of creating a model for medicine that uses ICT. The three research institutions are: National Cancer Center, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, and National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology.

Fujitsu has partnered with these three national centers for advanced medical research to conduct joint research aimed at preventing and fighting the leading causes of death in Japan, which are cancer, diseases of the circulatory system, and neurological diseases. The research will focus on each institution's respective area of expertise.

The joint research will focus on developing big data analysis methods applied to medicine, which may hold the key to preventing serious illnesses.

Fujitsu plans to begin conducting joint research with these organizations to identify specific research topics with each institution by March 2015.
