- The following is content from the press release -
(headquartered in Toyohashi, Aichi; Yoichi Yanase, CEO; hereinafter referred to as "icuco") will start offering "icuco®︎book," an enterprise IT package for business support for major nursery schools, which applies the technology of a global automotive parts manufacturer.
icuco®︎book is a business automation suite that aims to bring innovation to the childcare domain in the age of cloud computing.
The cost of a typical childcare service system relies on subsidies from local governments and borrowing from financial institutions, making it a challenge to introduce and sustain operations.
icuco solves this problem by providing products and cloud systems that take advantage of the high quality and low cost mass production technology developed by global automotive parts manufacturers.
"icuco®︎book"
icuco®︎book is a childcare operations support service for large corporations (hereafter referred to as enterprises) that operate multiple preschools.
It is possible to manage operations of individual nursery schools as well as all nursery schools operated by the corporate headquarters.
By centrally managing forms, attendance, billing, and other operations at the corporate headquarters, it is possible to optimize personnel allocation and reduce administrative costs, dramatically improving management efficiency.
It can also be automatically linked to existing products, such as the patent-pending icuco®︎touch (medical device), the icuco®︎care iOS app, and icuco®︎intelligence, a biometric prediction AI algorithm.
icuco_®︎touch & icuco_®︎care
icuco®︎touch & icuco®︎care were developed as a noon sleep check service for nursery schools. They are sensors that are attached to infants and toddlers, and applications that receive the data and allow nursery staff and parents to check the physical condition of their children.
The sensor, which has been registered as a medical device, includes an acceleration sensor to detect breathing and sleeping posture caused by body movement, a temperature sensor to detect changes in skin temperature, and a pulse sensor to detect changes in physical condition.

The company was incorporated in 2018, and in 2019 icuco was awarded a special prize in the "World Dissemination Competition" hosted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in 2020.
