Kao and PFN collaborate on sebum RNA analysis

On the 20th, Kao announced that it will collaborate with Preferred Networks (PFN, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) on the practical application of sebum RNA monitoring technology, which extracts and analyzes ribonucleic acid (RNA) from sebum. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as machine learning and deep learning will be applied to the data obtained from sebum RNA. PFN's AI technology will be incorporated into this technology. Mr. Michitaka Sawada, President of Kao Corporation, said, "Accumulation of data makes prediction possible. "We can expect to use preventive cosmetics to improve the skin in a few years," he said. This technology is also expected to be used in the medical industry. The company is also conducting research with a view to using the technology in the early diagnosis of intractable diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

        President Jun Sawada explains the IOWN concept at the NTTR&D Forum.

        Jun Sawada, president of NTT, announced on April 13 that 65 companies are considering joining the "IOWN Global Forum" to be established with Intel and Sony in the spring of 2020. In addition to Microsoft, 55 of the companies are overseas, including Orange (France), Verizon (US), and China Telecom (Taiwan). Many global companies that support the IOWN concept of rapid processing of huge amounts of data by using light from communication networks to terminals are expected to join the list when it is established. In a speech in Tokyo on the same day, Sawada explained the reason why he proposed the IOWN concept. IOWN, which aims to be commercially available in 30 years, uses photons rather than electrons to transmit information between chips and cores within chips, making everything from networks to terminals optical, and realizing information processing capabilities that far exceed the limits of electrical control.
