Euphoria and Immunosense Collaborate to Enhance Athletes' Health Monitoring Using sIgA Testing

New Health Monitoring Dashboard for Athletes



In a groundbreaking collaboration, Euphoria Inc., a sports tech company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has partnered with Immunosense, a startup emerging from Osaka University, to develop an innovative health monitoring dashboard. This new service, which incorporates the saliva sIgA testing kit called "GLEIA Self-Check sIgA," is anticipated to launch in the summer of 2025.

The dashboard will integrate Euphoria's athlete data management system, dubbed "ONE TAP SPORTS," with Immunosense's saliva testing kit. The objective of this service is to scientifically visualize athletes' immune states using the body’s biomarkers. The initial focus is on applications in professional sports teams, corporate athletic programs, and universities, specifically for disease prevention, performance peak management, and injury mitigation.

Background of Development and Future Outlook



Traditionally, monitoring athletes’ conditions involved invasive methods like blood tests, which could add physical strain on athletes and consumed time for testing and analysis, leading to delays in real-time performance assessment. This new service instead turns its attention to sIgA (secretory IgA), an immune protein that indicates bodily stress levels, identified through a compact testing device developed by Immunosense. The device allows for a quick analysis of sIgA concentration within approximately ten minutes, which can then be fed into "ONE TAP SPORTS" to integrate and display alongside performance data.

By making internal biomarkers visible, athletes and coaches can devise more precise peak performance schedules and implement better strategies for injury prevention.

The formal rollout of the dashboard is slated for the summer of 2025, and trials have already begun in university long-distance running clubs. Future plans aim to extend this technology to junior high schools, high schools, universities, corporate teams, and pro teams nationwide, with a goal to establish new benchmarks for performance enhancement and health management. Euphoria is committed to refining training protocols and conditioning methods to ensure that athletes can sustainably improve their competitive edge.

Launching at Japan Sports Week 2025



This innovative service will be unveiled at the upcoming "Japan Sports Week" exhibition scheduled for June 25-27, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight, South Exhibition Hall, Booth Number A-8. We invite all interested parties to visit us at the event.

What is sIgA?



sIgA, or secretory IgA, is an immune protein present in saliva that acts as a barrier against viruses and bacteria entering through mucous membranes in the mouth and nose. Its levels can decline under stress or physical strain, making it an important marker for tracking health changes.

Introducing the GLEIA Testing Device



The GLEIA (Gold-Linked Electrochemical Immunoassay) is a novel immunoassay method developed by Eiichi Tamita, a specially appointed professor at Osaka University's Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research. This ultra-compact device can detect various biomarkers in the body with an incredible sensitivity of one trillionth of a gram, much like large-scale testing machines. The performance combines immune response techniques with electrochemical technology, resulting in an efficiently sensitive portable device.
