- Overview
-
This project aims to establish a startup that develops and commercializes a novel non-invasive therapeutic device utilizing alternating magnetic fields as a physical stimulus for cancer treatment. By positioning it as a "fourth modality" alongside surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, we seek to improve treatment outcomes and enhance the quality of life (QOL) of patients with refractory cancers, including glioblastoma.
- Business Models（when applying）
We will provide our customers, medical institutions, with a non-invasive, side-effect-free alternating magnetic field therapy device for glioblastoma, a type of malignant brain tumor.
- Activity Planning（when applying）
During this period, our goals are to:
• conduct non-clinical studies,
• establish guidelines for device improvements toward productization, and
• obtain LOIs (Letters of Intent) from potential early-adopter customers,
with the aim of securing investment interest from venture capital firms.
