(Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Toshiyuki Ozeki) has added a new plan to its existing Standard Plan in response to many requests for a lower initial cost for its AI napping monitoring service for childcare facilities, hana-an.Monthly Only Planwill be available from July 1, 2025.
Prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and asphyxiation due to prone sleeping is an urgent issue in childcare facilities, as evidenced by the fact that 60-70% of fatal accidents at daycare centers occur during nap time. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (now the Child and Family Affairs Agency) also conducts an annual awareness campaign, calling for thorough prevention of prone sleeping. Many daycare facilities record the sleeping posture of children every 5 minutes for 0-year-olds and every 10 minutes for 1- to 2-year-olds on the "Noon Sleep Check Sheet," which is required to be submitted at the time of an audit.
However, this recording of noontime sleep is a significant burden for the childcare worker. For example, if 10 children take 3 hours of nap time per day and record every 5 minutes, a childcare worker would need to spend approximately8,000As many as 1,000 arrows are to be recorded. This enormous amount of paperwork is exhausting for childcare workers and contributes to a serious shortage of childcare workers, with approximately two-thirds of qualified workers engaged in other industries.
Although there are solutions that use existing sensors, many have pointed out that "ICT has not led to a reduction in workload because it has only changed the work content," as changing batteries and attaching and removing button sensors from preschoolers are new burdens. In particular, it was extremely difficult to attach the sensor to a preschooler just before putting the child to bed or to a preschooler wearing a romper, and the burden on the site was immeasurable, as the child would start crying and prevent other preschoolers from sleeping.
ICT implementation not only improves operational efficiency,Childcare worker retentionIn this day and age, the "hana-an" system thoroughly eliminates the burden on the field. The highly accurate AI detects in real time when a child falls asleep on his/her face and supports a safe and secure nap environment. This allows childcare workers toTime to face childrenIncrease the number ofResolving the shortage of human resourcesIt also contributes to

Three Groundbreaking Changes Achieved by the AI Noon-sleep Monitoring Service hana-an
1. Overwhelmingly streamlines the work of watching over and recording noontime sleepers
The childcare worker simply presses the start button when the first child is put to bed, and the app starts watching over all the children. The checklist is created retroactively to the time when each child started to sleep. Compared to the past, the paperwork required for the noon-sleep monitoring and form creation has been reduced.Up to 971 TP6T reductionThe company will This will allow child care workers toReduced overtime work and improved retention ratesSh,Resolving the shortage of human resourcesThis will contribute to the Thereby,Child Care WorkersOvertime reduction,Improved retention rateThe company also contributes to theResolving the shortage of human resourcesThe company will contribute to the following
2. 2-application configuration for ease of use in the field
The system consists of two applications: "Noon Sleep App" and "Management App. To solve the problem of "concentrating the burden on teachers who are good at IT," the system consists of an intuitive "Noon Sleep App" that allows users to make selections only, and a "Management App" that specializes in management.Smooth operation even at sites that are cautious about ICT introductionIn,Horizontal development for corporations with multiple parksThe new system also makes it easier toUtilization of all parksFacilitates the
3. Cloud-based system with always up-to-date functions
Because most of the logic, including AI models, is located in the cloud, system functionality modifications and additions are automatic. There is no need to re-buy for the latest features. Both early and recently installed facilities always have equal access to the latest features. After its release, we have added a number of new features in response to customer requests, including an automatic sleep time calculation function, and we will continue to improve the functionality of the system as we pick up user needs.

Our AI is distinct from general-purpose image recognition AI that identifies "people," "animals," and "faces" in general. "Postural Reasoning AIThe ",Learning specifically to estimate the position and orientation of the body's joints and identify their posture in detailThe company has been
Furthermore, our system, which has learned data on the sleeping postures and movements of a vast number of infants (over 100 million), can use the images captured by the camera to determine whether the baby is "on his/her back," "face down," "on his/her side," or "moving his/her arms and legs = awake,Capable of accurately capturing very minute posture changesIt is. It is not merely a matter of recognizing that there is a baby,The major difference is that it can identify important information that directly relates to accident prevention, such as "the baby is lying face down.The following is a list of the most common problems with the
