KAWASAKI, Japan, Feb 3, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced that it has collaborated with a central government agency in Japan to conduct a demonstration experiment utilizing its Takane [1] large language model (LLM) in public comment operations. The experiment, conducted in 2025, successfully automated advanced tasks such as classifying opinions by support/opposition and summarizing them, demonstrating improved operational efficiency and quality. The agency's officials confirmed the effectiveness of the system. Based on the results of this demonstration experiment, Fujitsu is developing a generative AI service that can be applied comprehensively to policy formulation and legislation, aiming for provision by fiscal year 2026.In addition to the above, Fujitsu is also planning for the construction of AI workflows that systematically integrate appropriate AI models and tools throughout the entire legislative drafting process, which involves extensive research into related laws and coordination with various stakeholders, and the development of AI agents that autonomously support complex research and coordination tasks arising within these processes. Fujitsu will support government initiatives for AI infrastructure development and generative AI utilization, such as Government AI, and aims to provide a generative AI service by fiscal year 2026 that can be comprehensively applied to policy formulation and legislation processes requiring the robust Japanese language capabilities of Takane.Results of the Proof-of-Concept (PoC)In conventional Japanese governmental public comment operations, officials read and classify submitted opinions, analyze trends, draft responses to each opinion, and then consider government policy. This process can take over a month until the results are announced.In this demonstration experiment, Fujitsu verified the efficiency improvements achieved by utilizing Takane with past public comment data. By applying Takane to approximately 120,000 characters of actual public comment data received by the central government agency that conducted this experiment, tasks such as classifying opinions by support/opposition and summarizing them, which were previously performed manually, were automated and completed in about 10 minutes. This demonstrated the potential for officials to focus on reviewing the output. Furthermore, in checking the consistency between draft laws, which are the subject of public comments, and individual opinions, Takane was able to correctly identify the relevant clauses in the draft law for over 80% of the opinions when both the draft law and opinions were input. This confirmed the potential for significant labor savings compared to manual linking.These results suggest that by reducing the time administrative officials spend organizing opinions, they can allocate more time to more critical decision-making tasks, such as deliberating the content of opinions and reflecting them in policy.Utilizing digital technologies, including generative AI, to enhance public comment operations, is also considered an important initiative from the perspective of EBPM (Evidence-Based Policy Making).Figure: Overview of the PoCBackgroundPublic comment in rulemaking by national and local governments is a crucial mechanism to ensure that citizens affected by these rules have the opportunity to express their opinions directly. However, for topics of high public interest, administrative officials can receive many thousands of submissions, leading to unmanageable review workloads. This could lead to public opinion not being appropriately reflected in policy and an erosion of public trust.The central government agency that conducted this demonstration experiment places importance on utilizing digital technology to reduce the burden on officials and improve the quality of public opinion reflection. In collaboration with Fujitsu, the agency undertook this demonstration experiment to apply generative AI to public comment aggregation and analysis, a task highlighted by the Digital Agency in its verification of generative AI utilization.[1] Takane:A large language model co-developed by Fujitsu and Cohere Inc.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

TOKYO, Feb 3, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Olympus Corporation (Olympus), a global MedTech company committed to making people’s lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling, today announced publication of the EAGLE Trial1 — a multicenter randomized controlled study evaluating the CADDIE™ device, the first cloud-based Computer-Aided Detection (CADe) application for real-time polyp detection during colonoscopy that is both FDA-cleared and CE-marked. The CADDIE software is the first solution introduced as part of the OLYSENSE™ Intelligent Endoscopy Ecosystem.The cloud-based CADDIE™ device for computer-aided detection indicates a potential polyp during a colonoscopy procedure.The trial indicates that cloud-deployed AI can help endoscopists detect the lesions that matter most in preventing progression to cancer2-5 — large adenomas, particularly those flat in morphology, and sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) — without disrupting safety or workflow. The study has been published in npj Digital Medicine.1EAGLE Trial OverviewThe EAGLE (Evaluation of AI for detection of Gastrointestinal Lesions in Endoscopy) study was conducted across eight centers in four European countries6, and its primary analysis involved 841 patients and 22 endoscopists performing screening and surveillance colonoscopies. Patients were randomized to standard colonoscopy or CADDIE-assisted colonoscopy.Key FindingsImproved detection of high-risk and hard-to-detect lesions In screening and surveillance patients, use of the CADDIE™ application was associated in this study with 7.3% absolute increase in adenoma detection rate (ADR), compared to standard colonoscopy. Moreover, significant relative increases in lesions detected per colonoscopy were observed in this study for clinically relevant lesion subtypes: 93% for large (>10 mm) adenomas, 57% for non-polyploid adenomas and 230% for SSLs.Feasible and efficient real-time cloud-based deployment The system demonstrated real-time performance and operational efficiency across diverse testing environments.Clinically Relevant by DesignThe CADDIE™ application is trained on a dataset enriched in clinically relevant and hard-to-detect lesions, including flat sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) and large polyps (≥10 mm).Lesions with sessile or flat morphology are difficult to detect and can harbor clinically relevant pathology. SSLs, in particular, are high-risk lesions whose detection is critical to reducing the risk of post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer3-4. The ability to reliably detect SSLs is increasingly viewed as a critical quality consideration in colonoscopy7. This study demonstrates increased detection of clinically relevant lesions and no increase in unnecessary resections, addressing some of the concerns raised in recent guidelines8-9. Why Cloud Matters?The CADDIE™ application leverages a cloud architecture that uses industry standard security controls. Cloud deployment offers hospitals flexibility, reducing reliance on hardware and enabling subscription-based procurement models. This approach can democratize access to advanced AI tools and lays the foundation for future AI applications in endoscopy.Expert Perspectives“This study marks a pivotal shift in the clinical translation of AI-assisted endoscopy,” said Rawen Kader, Principal Investigator of the EAGLE Trial and GI Researcher at University College London. “Cloud deployment can remove hardware barriers and give hospitals access to the latest AI innovations, which has the potential of improving detection of the lesions that matter most for reducing colorectal cancer risk.”“The publication of EAGLE study in a high-impact journal like npj Digital Medicine is a pivotal moment for Olympus, supporting clinical adoption of the CADDIE™ device as an AI solution that can enhance detection of clinically relevant lesions without compromising safety or efficiency,” said Miquel Àngel García, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Gastrointestinal Business Unit, Olympus Corporation.“The EAGLE trial demonstrates how cloud‑based AI can be translated into routine endoscopy at scale,” said Peter Mountney, CEO of Odin Vision and Vice President, AI Unit, Olympus Corporation. “By delivering AI in real time through the cloud, we can help accelerate innovation and enable hospitals around the world to benefit from our latest, evidence‑based technologies to support clinicians and enhance the quality of care.”For complete access to the EAGLE Trial study, visit: www.nature.com/articles/s41746-025-02270-1Fair Balance StatementThe gastroenterologist is responsible for reviewing CADDIE suspected polyp areas and confirming the presence or absence of a polyp based on their own medical judgment.CADDIE is not intended to replace a full patient evaluation, nor is it intended to be relied upon to make a primary interpretation of endoscopic procedures, medical diagnosis, or recommendations of treatment/course of action for patients. The CADDIE computer-assisted detection device is limited for use with standard white-light endoscopy imaging only.1. Kader R, Hassan C, Lanas Á, et al.
