AIAI Group Launches Efforts to Leverage Patents on AI-Based Infant Developmental Analysis Capabilities

- The following is content from the press release -

 (Head office: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President: Sadamatsunari; Securities code: 6557), which operates licensed childcare centers AIAI NURSERY and Child Development Support AIAI PLUS in the 23 wards of Tokyo, Chiba Prefecture, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Osaka City, has announced that it will launch an initiative to utilize AI-based technology to visualize infant development in its child development support and daycare center home-visit support services in order to further strengthen business development based on its "Three Childcare Regions," which provide integrated childcare, medical care, and education. (Head Office: Sumida-ku, Tokyo; President: Sadamatsu Sung; Securities Code: 6557) announces that it has decided to launch an initiative using AI-based technology to visualize infant development in its child development support and daycare center visitation support services, in order to further strengthen its business development based on the "Three Childcare Areas" strategy, which integrates childcare, medical care, and education.

 This technology analyzes the developmental status of preschool children attending daycare centers and visualizes how far certain preschool children are away from group activities. We will use this technology to further strengthen the synergy between "childcare" and "rehabilitation" in the Group's AIAI three education areas.

 The "AIAI Three Education Bloc" is an initiative to maximize synergies among the three businesses: childcare provided by AIAI NURSERY, rehabilitation education provided by AIAI PLUS, and education provided by CHaiLD Corporation. The childcare, rehabilitation, and education businesses will complement each other to provide support to a greater variety of children and their parents, while maximizing the productivity of the group.

Background

 Nursery schools are places where children grow through group activities. The role of the AIAI Group, which operates the Child Development Support AIAI PLUS, is to provide rehabilitation for children with developmental disabilities who have a beneficiary certificate, and to support children who have received rehabilitation so that they can engage in group activities at daycare centers. However, there is no system in the childcare industry to visualize children's development, and there was no way to check how much improvement had been made through the provision of rehabilitation. Classroom caregivers and parents continued to provide rehabilitation services based on uncertain information.

 We have therefore developed a technology that allows nursery school caregivers to analyze the child development records they keep on a regular basis, visualize the degree of divergence between the development of children who have received rehabilitation and that of other children by showing it on a development analysis chart, and confirm the developmental status of the children by using this technology to add evidence to the previously uncertain rehabilitation services. By adding evidence to rehabilitation services, we have established a foundation that enables users to receive rehabilitation services with greater peace of mind. Our group aims to become a rehabilitation support provider that can provide rehabilitation education with evidence.

2. outlook for the future

The developmental analysis chart generated by using this technology is proof of the quality of the rehabilitation and education services provided by AIAI PLUS. Users who inquire about our rehabilitation services are presented with a developmental analysis chart before and after the start of rehabilitation services, so that they can confirm the status of their child's development and experience the benefits of AIAI PLUS rehabilitation services. Through these efforts, we will strive to further contribute to the peace of mind of our users and expand the use of our services.
