Background to the collaboration<\/h2>

nami<\/strong> was founded in 2021 by the entrepreneurs who created WiZ, a smart lighting brand and ecosystem that was acquired by Signify, the lighting leader (formerly known as PHILIPS in this industry). WiZ is the world\u2019s first smart lighting platform embedded with Wi-Fi sensing technology.<\/p>

nami<\/strong> has developed a series of disruptive IoT devices with multi-sensing software layers including its pioneering WiFi sensors and WIDAR sensors. In just a short period of time, nami<\/b> has established long term partnerships with global companies (Internet Service Providers and\u00a0home\u00a0security companies).<\/p>

nami<\/strong> is strongly involved in IoT standards and compliance. J\u00e9r\u00f4me Leroy, its Chief Innovation Officer, is also the chair of the wireless signal based ambient sensing Workgroup at Matter, which is part of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) (600+ technology companies\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0participate in CSA, including Big Tech players such as Apple, Google, and Amazon).<\/p>

Since May 2021, CplusC, a joint venture established by OEPC, INSPiRE Investment Corporation, and its affiliate Japan Integration Corporation, has conducted a large-scale social demonstration project with 14 local governments in Okinawa (covering more than 70% of elderly residents in the territory), by leveraging Origin AI (\u201cOrigin\u201d) WiFi sensing technology. Origin is a digital sensing innovator, and nami<\/b> partner, currently leading the work for a digital sensing standard at the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) \u2014 a leading technical standards body.<\/p>

This has led to a Memorandum of Understanding<\/a> being executed between nami<\/b> and CplusC in April 2023, outlining the setting up of the Mimamori Social System for the Elderly (\u201cMimamori for the Elderly\u201d) in Okinawa and eventually through Japan. This \u2018Aging in Place\u2019 program<\/a>\u00a0uses nami<\/strong> technology to detect motion and sleep patterns within the homes\u00a0of elderly, without the need for intrusive microphones or cameras.\u00a0<\/p>

So far, nami<\/strong> and CplusC have completed a successful pilot of nami\u2019s<\/strong> WiFi sensors (to enable motion detection) and WIDAR sensors (to enable sleep detection), from\u00a0April to\u00a0July\u00a02023. This success has led them to\u00a0further\u00a0formalize\u00a0the collaboration\u00a0in October 2023.<\/p>

Through this collaboration, CplusC, by working together with nami<\/strong>, will provide \u201cMimamori for the Elderly\u201d to local governments\u00a0in\u00a0Okinawa and\u00a0eventually\u00a0throughout Japan.\u00a0This program\u00a0detects motion and\u00a0monitorssleep without the use of\u00a0intrusive\u00a0microphones, cameras, or wearables. The goal is to alleviate\u00a0social issues,such as the increased burden of\u00a0care faced by\u00a0local governments\u00a0and\u00a0families in Japan, which\u00a0has\u00a0the world\u2019s\u00a0fastest aging\u00a0population. By providing\u00a0this service, CplusC will deliver \u201cEnergy of Heart\u201d, which contributes vigour and\u00a0happiness\u00a0to people\u2019s daily life\u00a0by connecting \u2018Yui\u2019 bonds between the elderly and their families.<\/p>

About Mimamori for the Elderly<\/h2>

Through the \u201cMimamori for the Elderly\u201d, CplusC partners\u00a0with\u00a0nami<\/strong>\u00a0to use\u00a0digital sensing technology to achieve the following objectives:<\/p>

World\u2019s Most Advanced Aging\/Health Tech from Japan<\/h3>

Japan\u2019s population is aging at a faster rate than in any other country. This places an increased responsibility on local governments to look after that aging population, and places an extra economic and time burden on families.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

In Okinawa, the number of single-person elderly households is increasing at a pace higher than the national average, and there are rapidly increasing concerns about the burden on local governments, such as\u00a0the need to\u00a0deal with solitary deaths, as well as the burden\u00a0on families\u00a0who are living apart from\u00a0their\u00a0parents.<\/p>

In order to solve these issues, CplusC has concluded alliance agreements with 14 local governements in Okinawa under a large-scale social demonstration project subsidized by\u00a0the\u00a0Japan Government Cabinet Office and Okinawa Prefecture\u00a0since 2021, achieving success to realize \u201cMimamori for Elderly\u201d using the world\u2019s most advanced sensing AI technologies.<\/p>

Contributing to the Reduction of Burden on Local Governments (B2G)<\/h3>

According to the \u201cWhite Paper on Aging 2023\u201d published by\u00a0the\u00a0Japan Government Cabinet Office, the number of households with elderly person(s) is 25.81 million, accounting for 49.7% of all households (51.91 million). This\u00a0means\u00a0the elderly reside in\u00a0approximately half of all households,\u00a0increasing the\u00a0burden\u00a0of care\u00a0on local governments\u00a0forsolitary deaths and elderly\u00a0wellbeing\u00a0is rapidly increasing. A survey\u00a0of\u00a0Okinawa\u2019s local governments conducted by CplusC has revealed that existing measures are insufficient to deal with this situation.<\/p>

\u201cMimamori for Elderly\u201d helps to reduce this burden on local governments\u00a0\u00a0by providing the world\u2019s most advanced AI sensing devices, respecting people\u2019s privacy by doing without intrusive cameras, microphones, or wearables. This program has been extended to all the elderly households living in the area of each local government.<\/p>

Providing Peace of Mind for Families Living Apart from Elderly Parents (B2C)<\/h3>

The above \u201cWhite Paper on Aging 2023\u201d suggests that three-generation households which accounted for the largest proportion of all households in 1980 (50.1%) dramatically decreased to 9.3% in 2021. With the majority of families living apart from their elderly parents, the concerns and anxieties of families are increasing.<\/p>

\u201cMimamori for Elderly\u201d visualizes the motion and sleep patterns of the elderly 24\/365, while\u00a0fully respecting theprivacy\u00a0of occupants.\u00a0By monitoring these essential Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and building data points around important behavioral patterns non-intrusively,\u00a0\u00a0ADL analytics bring further peace of mind for families.\u00a0This makes\u00a0\u00a0it possible to grasp the situation in a timely manner even if\u00a0\u00a0families live apart\u00a0from their elderly parents or family members. This, in turn,\u00a0\u00a0deepens\u00a0the \u2018Yui\u2019 bonds between the elderly and their families.\u00a0<\/p>

About CplusC<\/h3>

A joint venture between OEPC, INSPiRE Investment and Japan Integration, using the world\u2019s most advanced sensing technologies, has succeeded in a large-scale social demonstration of \u201cMimamori for the Elderly\u201d covering more than 70% of elderly residents in Okinawa, under\u00a0an\u00a0alliance agreement with 14 local governments in Okinawa. The company is now moving forward for commercialization with the aim of delivering \u201cEnergy of Heart\u201d from Okinawa to all over Japan, which contributes to\u00a0a\u00a0daily life full of vigour and\u00a0happinessby connecting \u2018Yui\u2019 bonds between the elderly and their families.<\/p>
