A Revolutionary Approach to Cardiac Health by Kokoromiru
In a remarkable advancement for cardiac health, Kokoromiru, a leading healthcare technology firm based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, showcased its groundbreaking patent technology at the prestigious B Dash Camp in Sapporo on May 20–22, 2026. The company was selected as one of the twelve finalists out of over 150 entrants in the Pitch Arena contest, making it the only healthcare representative in this elite competition.
Kokoromiru's mission is clear: to eliminate the occurrence of overlooked cardiac events. Their innovative approach combines early detection with seamless medical connectivity, allowing them to transform how heart diseases are diagnosed and treated. With their distinctive products, Home Heart Dock pro and eclat, Kokoromiru aims to save lives that might otherwise be lost due to undetected heart conditions.
The Challenges of Traditional Heart Health Detection
Traditional health check-ups often rely on brief and limited ECG tests, capturing less than 0.1% of a person's day. This lack of continuous monitoring can lead to serious oversights. Many patients are deemed 'healthy' after a quick examination, only to face sudden cardiac events later, often hidden in the unmonitored time. Recognizing this critical gap, Kokoromiru has developed a comprehensive monitoring system that ensures continuous and accurate assessment of heart health.
Kokoromiru’s Innovative Products
1.
Home Heart Dock pro: This revolutionary device is a lightweight, patch-type ECG monitor that can be worn comfortably for anywhere between 9 to 24 hours. By providing long-term monitoring without constraining daily activities, it allows users to track arrhythmias, heart risks and even indicators of stress and sleep apnea — critical factors in identifying potential heart issues. Data collected is analyzed by healthcare professionals, who provide comprehensive reports via email.
2.
eclat: This state-of-the-art device is the first completely disposable holter ECG monitor in Japan, capable of continuous measurement for 7 days without the need for recharging or maintenance for two years. eclat simplifies the patient experience and significantly reduces the workload for healthcare providers, since it eliminates the need for equipment cleaning and disinfection.
Connecting Patients to Healthcare
Kokoromiru facilitates an easy transition from monitoring to treatment. The results from Home Heart Dock pro can be brought directly to medical facilities, and the company also offers online clinic options for referrals to university hospitals. This system ensures that even busy individuals can access medical care quickly and efficiently.
Through this pipeline, every step from screening at home to medical diagnosis is seamlessly integrated, allowing for a smooth handoff that can ultimately save lives.
Future Growth and Vision
Kokoromiru's technological capabilities are already deployed in human healthcare and are now being adapted for the veterinary field, providing a significant opportunity in animal healthcare where patients cannot verbally communicate their symptoms. At the B Dash Camp, the CEO, Daiki Hayashi, presented their ambitious vision to eradicate sudden deaths not just among humans, but across the globe and animal domains as well.
