Introducing 'KokoDayo Life': A Smart App for Safety and Security in Everyday Life

Launch of 'KokoDayo Life'

Genetec Inc., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has officially launched its new smartphone application, 'KokoDayo Life'. This innovative app focuses on disaster preparedness, crime prevention, and caregiver monitoring while supporting multiple languages. By combining various previously separate functionalities into a single tool, 'KokoDayo Life' aims to address commonly faced safety concerns in everyday life.

Overview of 'KokoDayo Life'

The 'KokoDayo Life' app integrates essential features for disaster management, security, and monitoring into one user-friendly interface. Users receive real-time notifications about disaster alerts and local crime incidents. Additionally, it enables location sharing to enhance daily monitoring. The iOS version offers a health data sharing feature that provides insights into users' movement patterns while maintaining a privacy-first approach. This ensures users receive only essential notifications throughout their daily activities and during emergencies, ultimately supporting their lives seamlessly.

Development Background

With the increasing risks of natural disasters such as earthquakes and heavy rains, general safety concerns have also risen, notably for the elderly and children traveling to and from school. Previously, applications designated for disaster preparedness, monitoring, and security were separate, often creating fragmented information during critical moments. Genetec has harnessed its patented technology to develop the 'KokoDayo' app (1.9 million downloads as of January 2026), enhancing its offerings by creating 'KokoDayo Life' to cover both routine and emergency situations.

Key Features of 'KokoDayo Life'

The app's motto, "Prepare for emergencies while ensuring daily safety", encapsulates its core principles: connecting, preparing, protecting, and going out. Here are the fundamental features categorized for each necessity:

Disaster Preparedness

The app automatically shares location data in conjunction with emergency earthquake alerts, enabling prompt situational awareness. Users are instantly notified of disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and heavy rainfall. It consolidates hazard maps, evacuation center information, local dangers, and weather reports into one accessible platform, guiding users from proactive preparation to actual emergency responses.

Security Functionality

'KokoDayo Life' alerts users about potential dangers in their neighborhoods, including sightings of bears or suspicious individuals. It also includes a panic button and emergency call features, bolstering safety for individuals on the go, especially during commutes.

Monitoring Features

In addition to location sharing, the iOS version allows for sharing health data, allowing family members to keep track of the well-being of elderly relatives or children during their outings. This feature is tailored to accommodate various family dynamics, ensuring both safety and peace of mind.

Multilingual Support

'KokoDayo Life' is available in Japanese, English, and Traditional Chinese, providing ease of access for a diverse user base. Users can seamlessly switch languages within the app's settings, making it versatile for both residents and tourists.
