Eisai’s Collaboration Partners
Building the Dementia Ecosystem Accelerated through Collaboration with Academia, Businesses, and Local Governments
Local Governments in Japan×Eisai
Activities for realizing a dementia-inclusive society
Eisai has concluded collaborative agreements with 167 local governments and groups in Japan, and we have identified the local residents’ anxieties regarding dementia and created projects aimed at finding solutions. Through our many shared experiences with local residents, we discovered their needs, such as a desire to proactively know about the health of their own brains and how to prevent dementia, and, together with local governments and medical associations, we are developing activities tailored to each region in Japan to relieve those anxieties.
Shimadzu Corporation×Eisai×Oita University×Usuki City Medical Association
Joint research to develop Japan’s first blood biomarker-based diagnostic workflow for dementia
Currently, amyloid PET and CSF are used to estimate the degree of amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation in the brain, but there are a limited number of facilities that can perform these tests, and the high cost and physical stress caused by the invasive nature of the tests pose a challenge. The research aims to demonstrate the utility of blood biomarkers and improve the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease within a coordinated system of medical care that encompasses primary care physicians and specialists who are members of dementia-related medical societies.
