Founding Vision

Philosophy

In today’s age of information overload, it is nearly impossible to properly access, understand, and act upon all available information, even if it is valuable. Therefore, we need systems that make information accessible while being closely integrated into people’s daily lives.

We decided to establish this company with the vision of becoming a bridge between hospitals and communities. By incorporating human-centered design inspired by behavioral economics and design engineering, we strive to contribute to accessible healthcare solutions that help maintain and improve lives at the community level.

The future is shaped by your heart and actions.

代表取締役・CEO

Message

How can we achieve world peace? When I was in first grade, I dreamed of becoming president to eliminate nuclear bombs. But even if nuclear bombs were gone, new weapons would just be created.

But even with weapons, if we have hearts capable of loving others, we can lay down our arms and shake hands. To nurture this love, we must first protect the bond between parents and children. We aim for a society where babies, families, and all people can embrace a happier future.

My specialty is deep learning-based acoustic signal processing, and I serve as an instructor for the Advanced Machine Learning course at Keio University’s Faculty of Science and Technology. My major accomplishments include representing Japan at ISEF 2022 and receiving the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Special Commendation. In business, I have managed multiple companies in the education and design sectors since high school. I traveled to Silicon Valley with CEO Nakai through a METI program, where I became interested in and joined the project analyzing infant crying sounds.

This product, which started from the unique idea of ​​analyzing baby cries using AI to visualize emotions, aims to prevent postpartum depression. Baby cries contain rich information about cultural background and developmental stages, making them extremely valuable as data. I am involved as an advisor, contributing from the perspectives of business planning, evidence-based research, and data science.
