Description

"Non-contact vital sensor" was developed with the objective of lightening the load of caregivers by constantly monitoring the vital signs of elderly nursing-care residents. It places emphasis on respecting their lifestyles and privacy without compromising the quality of the services provided. It helps ensure safety and peace of mind in the daily lives of the elderly. Another beneficial function that was added this year through the development of a new algorithm was the monitoring of the psychological aspects of a person's health.

Working style reform is a recent initiative being undertaken among Japanese companies. It promotes, among other things, creating a conducive work environment and supporting health management. The new sensors can detect employee stress and concentration levels as well as drowsiness. It can serve as a mental health care system that helps people become more conscious of their health. Additionally the company has begun working on detecting emotions.
