Addressing Japan's Staggering 7.3 Trillion Yen Productivity Loss
In Japan, the challenge of invisible productivity losses has reached alarming proportions, amounting to a staggering 7.3 trillion yen annually. A recent survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare reveals that 68% of Japanese workers experience significant stress. However, a more insidious issue arises not from absenteeism but from "presenteeism"—the phenomenon where employees struggle through their tasks while unwell, resulting in diminished productivity. This growing concern has prompted a triad of companies to come together to tackle this pressing workplace issue through innovation.

Introducing NAGI: Your Wellness Companion
Innovative Technology
The introduction of
NAGI marks a revolutionary step in workplace wellness. This next-generation product allows users to measure their autonomic nervous system’s activity with incredible ease. Users simply need to access it via a web browser—no app installation required—and face the camera for just 30 seconds. Using non-contact vital measurement technology (rPPG), NAGI accurately assesses heart rate variability (HRV), transforming raw data into understandable scores of their autonomic balance.
This objective data highlights stress levels or physical tension that the user may not consciously recognize, enabling swift intervention and management of their health. Furthermore, it enhances employees' performance at work as they better understand their mental and physical states.
Management Insights
For corporate management and HR departments, NAGI provides real-time heat maps showing the autonomic nervous function levels across different departments, allowing early detection of burnout risks and fostering proactive care.
Tackling the Presenteeism Challenge
Emerging Necessity
Historically, the reliance on annual subjective stress assessments fails to capture the biases or unnoticed fatigue of employees. NAGI uniquely addresses this gap, positioning itself as an essential tool for daily health and productivity management.
Future Developments
This partnership launches an ambitious initiative to address health management challenges for businesses. By providing comprehensive solutions—from condition monitoring to online seminars and personalized counseling—the aim is clear: to enhance employee well-being and maximize organizational productivity.
