The General Association for Municipal DX Promotion (GDX) is set to showcase various municipal DX solutions at the upcoming 5th Digital DX Promotion Exhibition ODEX, which will take place from June 4 to June 6, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight. Among the exhibitors, Yume Cloud Japan will introduce its pioneering mental health support service named MindScale.

Background of the Event

The 5th Digital DX Promotion Exhibition ODEX will include a dedicated area where GDX will display numerous DX solutions from 18 supporting member companies. This event aims to address the challenges faced by municipalities in their digital transformation efforts. The exhibition will be backed by various governmental agencies, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and the Digital Agency.

GDX's Initiatives at ODEX

At the exhibition, GDX will present the results of its Municipal DX Awareness and Status Survey, highlight success stories of partnerships between municipalities and enterprises, and showcase advanced examples from across the country. Attendees will also have the opportunity to consult on issues related to municipal DX promotion.

Yume Cloud Japan's Innovative Solutions

Yume Cloud Japan has been collaborating with academic institutions since 2019, conducting important research to analyze stress levels, which traditionally have been hard to quantify accurately. In 2022, they launched MindScale, a web service that assesses mental health through biometric data such as autonomic nervous system imbalance and brain fatigue levels, combined with self-reported data.

MindScale's Functionality

MindScale measures stress levels in just 30 seconds, achieving a remarkable level of convenience for daily use. By visualizing the conditions of the autonomic nervous system and brain function, it enables users to recognize their health and performance trends. Users can identify discrepancies between their self-assessments and actual conditions, allowing them to create targeted action plans to maximize performance. For public sector HR and labor departments, MindScale provides analytic organizational reports derived from employee data, enabling comprehensive mental health strategies to be developed.

This service is grounded in the MindScale Method, which focuses on supporting the mental well-being of busy municipal staff. Additionally, it includes an online counseling feature to ensure privacy while providing necessary support.
