Enhancements to Kokodayo Life App

Genetec, Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has recently announced the addition of new functions to its multilingual smartphone application, Kokodayo Life, which is designed for disaster preparedness, crime prevention, and monitoring. The new features include fall detection alerts, activity decline alerts, and support for new disaster weather information. This development aims to improve user safety and streamline communication in times of crisis.

New Features Explained

1. Fall Detection Alerts
With integration to smartwatches, this feature automatically detects if the wearer has fallen and sends notifications to pre-registered family members or caregivers. This ensures that any urgent incidents are recognized promptly, even if the user is far from home.

2. Activity Decline Alerts
This feature detects inactivity over a predetermined period and sends alerts to registered contacts. It provides a crucial early warning system for family and caregivers, highlighting unusual circumstances in the user’s activity levels.

3. New Disaster Weather Information Support (Japan only)
Responding to updated disaster weather advisories from the Japan Meteorological Agency, this feature provides timely notifications about warning levels and weather alerts based on the user's location and registered places. This facilitates prompt action based on localized safety information.

Note: To utilize the fall detection alert feature, compatible smartwatches and operating systems are mandatory.
- For Apple: Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) or later, Series 6 or later, and watchOS version 11 or later.
