Kimuratan Corporation accepts <hamon> of Mitsufuji’s wearable platform -Expand into wearable markets for children-

Thus, Mitsufuji has just started to expand into wearable market for children as wearable IoT platformer and develop services for keeping watch  for children with them in order to improve the quality of nurture and the secure and safety of children.

 

This service is designed to improve the safety of nursery school and reduce the task of childcare professional by watching over the nap check of children, checking physical condition changes, and grasping the body temperature transition etc. and try to realize them.

Our company started a nursery business in April last year and has been working to provide high-quality childcare services with the aim of providing childcare support and the growing of children with the premise of safety and security.

But very unfortunately, the serious accidents in the nursery school do not end. The “Kindergarten Watching Service”, which announces the concept, is based on Mitsufuji’s excellent technological capability.

We are confident that it will eliminate the serious accidents providing the safety of the nursery school and improve the quality of childcare.
