Pilot Project for Lifelog-based Health Services in Muraoka-Fukasawa District

Jun 9, 2023 | Business

Tokushukai Medical Group’s Shonan Kamakura General Hospital (SKGH) and Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) are pleased to announce the commencement of a pilot project in Japan’s Kanagawa Prefecture, the aim of which is to demonstrate the feasibility of lifelog-based* “health promotion and monitoring” services. The project began monitoring expecting and nursing mothers being treated at SKGH in late April 2023 and local Rotary Club members in late May 2023. It is being conducted jointly by SKGHand MC, in collaboration with a number of other entities, including NTT DATA Corporation (NTT DATA), Link & Communication Inc. (L&C), and Peace Tec Lab, Inc. (Peace Tec Lab).

The trials are being run primarily in the Muraoka-Fukasawa District, which spans the cities of Fujisawa and Kamakura. Considering that interests in this district have been engaged in discussions on urban development work that focuses on health-related innovations, this pilot project is a good fit. Its objectives are to help realize the shared vision of those interests to rebuild the district with advanced services and accelerate next-generation, health-monitoring capabilities that make effective use of personal health records.

*Digitized personal records of daily life and activities

1. Project Background

In May 2019, SKGH, Shonan Health Innovation Park (Shonan iPark), and the governments of Kanagawa Prefecture, Fujisawa City and Kamakura City signed a memorandum of understanding to promote advanced, health-related innovations in the Muraoka-Fukasawa District, their joint objective being to develop the district into a center for cutting-edge health innovation. Up until recently, MC had been serving as an advisor, but it has now become more directly engaged in the initiative through this pilot project with SKGH.

2. Project Summary

(1) Health Monitoring Trials for Expecting and Nursing Mothers
Together, SKGHand MC have equipped the hospital’s expecting and nursing mothers with wearable devices that record lifelog data (amount of exercise, quality of sleep, etc.). The hospital’s staff have been monitoring those data with the “Health Data Bank,” a health-management system developed by NTT DATA. The mothers have also been receiving advice via “Calomama Plus,” an AI-driven health app developed by L&C, regarding in-hospital prenatal and postnatal consultations, advanced postnatal home care, and so on. Furthermore, the mothers are being encouraged to take advantage of the subscription-based, “Alice Style Prime” product-sharing platform developed by Peace Tec Labs. The platform can facilitate postnatal care tailored to varying lifestyles by offering rentals of a wide range of products, including home electronics, fitness equipment, and childcare goods that are typically only used for a short time.

By creating a stress-free environment for expecting and nursing mothers to both deliver and raise their children, this project aims to address Japan’s aging society by promoting the growth of a younger population. It is also invested in the development of appealing services that meet the Muraoka-Fukasawa District’s new needs in urban development.

(2) Resident Health Improvement Trials
This project also includes trials aimed at making the district’s residents more aware of their own health and verifying the feasibility of establishing lifelog-based services in the newly developed communities. Wearable devices have also been distributed to local Rotary Club members, whose daily lifelog data is being used in conjunction with a program on the Calomama Plus app that is designed to promote good health through proper exercise, sleep and nutrition. Residents are being encouraged to use both the program and other value-added services that were derived from it.

Hong Kong – First project approved under Subsidy Scheme for Using Hotels and Guesthouses as Youth Hostels

Mar 14, 2023 | International

First project approved under Subsidy Scheme for Using Hotels and Guesthouses as Youth Hostels

******************************************************************************************


     The Home and Youth Affairs Bureau (HYAB) today (March 14) approved the first project under the Subsidy Scheme for Using Hotels and Guesthouses as Youth Hostels from the Hong Kong United Youth Association (HKUYA).
 
     To help further meet the housing needs of young people and assist with their development, the Chief Executive announced in the 2022 Policy Address that the Government will explore ways to increase the supply of youth hostels, including subsidising non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to rent suitable hotels and guesthouses for use as youth hostels, with the target of providing about 3 000 additional hostel places within five years. To this end, the HYAB launched the Subsidy Scheme in early January 2023 to subsidise NGOs to rent suitable hotels and guesthouses for use as youth hostels.  

     The youth hostel under the first project approved under the Subsidy Scheme encompasses an entire hotel on Morrison Hill Road, Causeway Bay, with a total of 97 rooms, providing up to 194 hostel places. The project is launched by the HKUYA in collaboration with the Gale Well Group. The HKUYA will operate the youth hostel under the name of “BeLIVING Youth Hub”. One of the characteristics of the project is that it will provide a platform for young people to participate in social outreach activities by making good use of the talents and enthusiasm of the youth tenants, and establishing their sense of belonging to the community. It will also provide youth tenants with support and value-added services in respect of career planning, entrepreneurship and realising their dreams through the HKUYA’s membership network. Details about the project and the means of application can be found on the HKUYA’s website (www.belivingyouthhub.com/).
 
     A spokesperson of the HYAB said, “In about two months since the Subsidy Scheme was opened for application in early January 2023, we have now approved the first project. This shows that the Scheme is supported by relevant stakeholders. In spite of the resumption of normal travel and the start of the travel industry’s recovery, there are still hotel operators which participate in the Scheme and collaborate with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in pursuing youth development. The HYAB will continue to collaborate with NGOs and relevant stakeholders who share our vision in inspiring our youths and brightening our future.”
 
     Details about the Subsidy Scheme, including the guidelines for application and the application forms, have been uploaded onto the HYAB’s website (www.hyab.gov.hk/en/policy_responsibilities/Social_Harmony_and_Civic_Education/youth_hostel_scheme.htm). Relevant organisations can submit their applications to the HYAB by post, email or other means.

– Low fees for 6-and 12-month project postings, with the flexibility to choose different terms for each project
– Manage projects on a dashboard

Benefits for Project Shoppers and Explorationists

– View as many projects as you like for one, low 6-or 12-month subscription fee
– Save projects of interest to your dashboard for quick access

Jake Margolis, President of the Company, stated: “Our technical team has developed MineralProjectSource.com with the aim of creating a professional marketplace suitable for all explorationists, from individual prospectors to major mining companies. It provides a unique map interface allowing projects to be placed in context geologically and with respect to other mineral deposits, mining claims and land use. We are continually adding datasets. There are currently about 1.2 million mineral occurrences, and there’s detailed geology for more than 50 countries. What’s great about the site is that the map can be used for general exploration purposes, even if someone is not actively shopping for projects.”

Mineral Project Source invites projects of all non-fuel commodities, globally. Legends for the deposit-occurrence datasets have been optimized for consistency and for highlighting commodities of current interest, such as gold, lithium, graphite, cobalt and rare earths.
