This approach is also advancing research on digital biomarkers. On this occasion, both companies shared the vision of supporting researchers and companies dedicated to advancing health through cutting-edge technology for a lot of people. This led to the signing of a distribution agreement for MOTHER Labs’ MOTHER Bracelet.

With “REMONY,” vital data from users can be managed in real-time, enabling the utilization of this data for healthcare-related clinical research. By leveraging 3H’s expertise in data-driven clinical studies and data analysis, we aim to assess future risks associated with diseases.
