- The following is content from the press release -
(Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yuichi Nakamasa), OCC Kyoiku Tech Sogo Kenkyujo (OCC Kyoiku Tech Sogo Kenkyujo), and H&E Technology Co. (hereafter, H&E Technology) have signed a joint research agreement to conduct joint research to improve the quality of childcare using AI camera-recorded data. The main objective of the research is to develop a system to evaluate the quality of childcare by visualizing the number of caregivers and children and the amount of their activities.
AI cameras are cloud-based.
Backgrounds, etc.
In order to support the upbringing and child rearing of children by society as a whole, the "New Support System for Child Care and Child Rearing" came into effect in 2018, and while the "quantity" of early childhood education, childcare, and local childcare support is being expanded, an important element of childcare support is the improvement of "quality" in childcare. The "quality" of childcare consists of diverse elements such as the childcare environment, the qualifications of caregivers, and the content of childcare programs, etc. To improve the "quality" of childcare, it is necessary to focus not only on quantitative standards, but also on the process of childcare and the expertise of the childcare provider.
We are also continuing our efforts to improve the awareness, knowledge, and skills of each and every childcare worker and other personnel involved in the care of children. We are also continuing to improve the level of awareness, knowledge, and skills of each childcare worker and other childcare personnel.
We have decided to work together to develop a system and educational program to promote the continuous implementation of high-quality childcare and learning by utilizing OCC's academic and technological research results, data, AI technology, and other resources related to childcare and education. The company is a member of the "Japan Association for Childcare Education" (JCEC).
We will continue to improve the environment and make efforts to ensure the safety and security of our childcare services so that both our childcare staff and users can work with peace of mind and leave their children in our care.
