The award-winning AI gait analysis tool “CareWiz Toruto” is a service that supports businesses that provide independence support services to the elderly (nursing care service providers, medical institutions, welfare equipment providers, etc.) with gait analysis AI. The system uses a smartphone to capture video of elderly people walking and provides feedback after scoring multiple items, such as the risk of falling. The service contributes to information collaboration by improving the satisfaction of users and their families and facilitating communication among staff members through video.
Launched in 2020, the system is currently in use at approximately 400 facilities for the elderly nationwide, and more than 33,000 videos have been submitted. In addition to Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, Kobe City, and Miyazaki City, Miyazaki Prefecture, the company has recently conducted joint demonstrations with Fujisawa City, Kanagawa Prefecture, on a wide range of themes, from nursing care prevention to cooperation between doctors and caregivers.

▼Award Comment -Satoru Ishino, President ExaHomeCare Inc.
The “CareWiz Toruto” service was developed with the hope of reducing the risk of falls by visualizing the gait of elderly people and providing an environment that allows them to live in their own homes for longer. Falls and falls are the most common cause of emergency medical care for the elderly. In addition, elderly people who have fallen often require nursing care even if they recover completely, making the reduction of fall risk an urgent issue. By utilizing “CareWiz Toruto,” we will propose exercise menus that are tailored to individual conditions and encourage behavioral change, thereby contributing to the extension of healthy life expectancy and reduction of social security costs.
In addition, we hope to contribute to the revitalization of services in the industry by proving that services that do not rely on the insurance system can still be viable as a business by utilizing digital technology in an industry that is still based on the public insurance system. As a result, we hope to create better services and realize a society in which the best services are delivered to the elderly and those involved in nursing care.
