University of Tokyo Healthcare AI Venture Emeraid Develops AI Monitoring Service Using Power Data

Emeraid, Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Rikuto Shima) has developed an AI-powered monitoring service utilizing power data in collaboration with BeMap, Inc. and CryptoAI, Inc. The service will be launched by BeMap in the near future.

For inquiries about service introduction, demo requests, or joint research, please feel free to contact us.

Service Overview

This is a monitoring service targeting elderly individuals and those living alone. By utilizing existing power infrastructure and analyzing daily power consumption data with AI, the system detects residents' presence at home and abnormal behavior. No new device purchases or installations are required, and privacy concerns associated with camera installation are eliminated.

When potential emergencies are detected, the system notifies pre-registered family members via LINE and contacts emergency response services to take necessary action.

Development Background and Social Significance

Modern Japan is entering a super-aged society, and protecting the safety and health of the elderly is a major social challenge. Particularly with the rapid increase in elderly people living alone, daily life monitoring and emergency response are required.

Emeraid developed a proprietary machine learning model based on abundant power data and occupancy data provided by BeMap, implementing a system that analyzes resident behavior patterns with high precision. This service uses advanced AI technology to detect emergencies such as nighttime wandering and falls in real-time.

The notification system provides daily peace of mind to families and caregivers and supports the independence of elderly residents.

Future Outlook

Emeraid will work on improving AI model accuracy and robustness across different regions and seasons. In the healthcare industry of a super-aged society, we will promote innovative projects with universities, medical institutions, care facilities, and pharmaceutical companies.
