TOKYO, Nov 30, 2021 - (JCN Newswire) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and FCNT LIMITED announced today that both companies have entered into a business alliance agreement aiming to support people living with dementia and to prevent dementia, through developing solutions for maintaining brain performance. Both companies will construct an ecosystem with the aim of supporting people living with and preventing dementia ("Dementia Ecosystem"), with integrating Eisai's wealth of experience and knowledge including drug creation and disease awareness activities as well as Eisai's solution measures such as digital technology, in the area of dementia, and FCNT's products such as smartphones designed to offer outstanding usability for the elderly as well as FCNT's services including "Raku Raku Community" on SNS targeting such smartphone users. With constructing a "Dementia Ecosystem", both companies aim to contribute to the solution of dementia, which is one of the important social issues in an aging society.
The initiatives planned under the alliance are as follows.
1. The "NouKNOW" will be installed on the "Raku Raku Smartphone"

Based on available information by FCNT), an SNS service for seniors with a membership system, in addition to Eisai's know-how based on various data in the area of dementia.
