Innovative Emergency Monitoring Service

In response to the increasing societal issue of solitary deaths among elderly individuals, Synclayer Corporation, a provider in the broadcasting and communication industry listed on TSE Standard, has partnered with AI6 Corporation to launch a groundbreaking service called 'Denpa Demiterukun'. This service will begin offering support for emergency monitoring on December 1, 2025.

Addressing the Need

With the aging population in Japan, the number of elderly living alone is skyrocketing. According to statistics from the National Police Agency, in 2024 alone, over 76,000 solitary deaths were recorded, with 80% of these being people aged 65 or older. The National Institute of Population and Social Security Research estimates that the percentage of single-person households among households headed by individuals aged 65 and older will rise from 35.2% in 2020 to 45.1% by 2050. This alarming trend highlights the urgency for effective measures to address solitary deaths.

Real estate management companies and local governments face the challenge of quickly responding to incidents of solitary deaths to mitigate repercussions such as the need for special cleaning services or impacts on neighbors. Moreover, volunteer visits from community representatives have become increasingly difficult due to manpower shortages and a growing number of households; therefore, it is crucial to develop systems for early detection.

Introducing 'Denpa Demiterukun'

The new service utilizes sophisticated Wi-Fi sensing technology to detect subtle changes in Wi-Fi signals, allowing for monitoring of residents' movements without requiring intrusive equipment like cameras or wearables. 'Denpa Demiterukun' operates through a dedicated device installed directly into the user's Wi-Fi network, requiring no additional construction or disruption to the household's daily life.

Key Features

• - Automatic Alerts: If no movement is detected for a specified period, the system sends an automatic alert to keep managers informed, reducing decision-making dilemmas and workload.
• - Unified Management: This service is organized into a three-layer structure that allows for centralized management of the resident's living area, building, and specific room via an intuitive dashboard.
• - No Installation Hassles: Setting up the dedicated device is as simple as plugging it into an electrical outlet, ensuring no interference with other devices in use.
• - Privacy Considerate: The service respects the privacy of residents by avoiding the need for cameras or wearables, thus minimizing any associated stress.

Practical Applications

For Real Estate Management Companies

Many firms have reluctantly turned down prospective tenants aged 65 and older due to concerns over the risk of solitary deaths. By implementing 'Denpa Demiterukun', management companies can quickly identify any anomalies in residents' behaviors, alleviating fears and allowing for a more inclusive approach to accepting older tenants. This not only fosters a sense of security for all parties but also enhances property values and occupancy rates.

For Local Government

While community representatives play a vital role in monitoring the well-being of residents, the growing number of households has made consistent visiting increasingly challenging. 'Denpa Demiterukun' enables councils to efficiently manage and prioritize welfare checks, ensuring better coverage and response times. It serves as a complimentary system that assists community representatives, allowing them to respond more effectively to identified risks.

Costs of Implementation

To utilize this service, a one-time fee for the specialized device, as well as a monthly account fee, will be necessary. A flexible pricing model will be available to suit diverse deployment requirements.
