(Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kouji Eguchi; NASDAQ: MRM, USA; hereafter, MEDIROM), a holistic healthcare company, and its subsidiary MEDIROM MOTHER Labs (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yoshio Uekusa; hereafter, MOTHER Labs) have signed a business partnership agreement with donut robotics Co., Ltd (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taisuke Ono; hereafter, donut robotics), a robot venture featured in TIME magazine in 2022. Using the smart tracker &apos;MOTHER Bracelet&apos; developed by MOTHER Labs, and the monitoring robot &apos;cinnamon&apos;, developed by donut robotics, the partnership aims to work towards enabling AI-driven conversations with seniors based on vital data. ■Collaboration Background 　donut robotics is developing the monitoring robot &apos;cinnamon&apos; with the aim of integrating it with a customized chat GPT for the elderly. &apos;cinnamon&apos; has been selected for the Haneda Airport Robot Project, primarily involved in customer service experiments with foreign visitors at Haneda Airport. By combining MOTHER Labs&apos; recharge-free smart tracker &apos;MOTHER Bracelet&apos;, which collects vital data, with a chat GPT fine-tuned for seniors, two parties aim to provide a wide range of services, such as calling out to the person in case of health issues detected and having a conversation adapted to the current health status based on vital data.  <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/f3e568b7b4d14acc997fe9a949e7c60d/1510.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"></figure> ■Realization of Care Robots with AI Conversational Features Linked to Vital Data <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/64bf8f072fea4537988568f5fcc7cf40/1505.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1127"></figure> ■Early Detection of Emergencies　The rising number of elderly people living alone has raised the necessity for elderly care. In collaboration, donut robotics&apos; monitoring robot &apos;cinnamon&apos; and MOTHER Labs&apos; &apos;MOTHER&apos; smart tracker are working towards expanding conversational AI capabilities. Their aim is to detect health emergencies at an early stage and provide prompt assistance to senior citizens.　Based on abnormalities in vital data measured by the &apos;MOTHER&apos; tracker, the monitoring robot &apos;cinnamon&apos; will ask questions to a person, and if there is no reply, it will send an SMS notification to family members. Furthermore, future features include being able to remotely monitor the situation through cinnamon&apos;s integrated camera. In addition, there will be a feature to immediately report cases of elderly falls through &apos;MOTHER&apos;s&apos; proprietary fall detection system. The proposed realization of monitoring robots with AI conversational functionality linked to vital data will expectably improve health management of elderly individuals living alone. ■Leveraging Large-Scale Language Models (LLM) for AI Conversation Robots Inference and Prediction 　Creating monitoring robots that can engage in conversations tailored to an individual&apos;s well-being has been a long-standing aspiration among developers. Traditional conversational AI could only provide conversations based on whether vital data readings were high or low. However, the emergence of LLMs has enabled &apos;data-driven inference&apos;.　&apos;cinnamon&apos; retrieves vital data from &apos;MOTHER&apos; to make human-like inferences and predictions about possible future health risks, incorporating these insights into conversations with the elderly (donut robotics is also developing &apos;donut LLM&apos; tailored for robot conversations). ■Creating the Infrastructure for &apos;cinnamon&apos; to Retrieve Data from &apos;MOTHER&apos; <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/94551b31022a407483e00c5f5a190875/1512.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"></figure> 　In the short term, donut robotics plans to equip the monitoring robot &apos;cinnamon&apos; with the &apos;MOTHER Gateway,&apos; enabling the automatic acquisition of vital data measured by the &apos;MOTHER Bracelet&apos;. The aim is to establish a state where a person’s vital data is collected automatically. &apos;cinnamon&apos; will retrieve the data measured by &apos;MOTHER&apos; via Bluetooth connection, enabling an environment where the individual or their family can access it through a dashboard online. ■The &apos;MOTHER Bracelet&apos;, Recharge-Free Smart Tracker 　The &apos;MOTHER Bracelet&apos; is the world&apos;s first 24/7 recharge-free smart tracker. It uses innovative technology from a Silicon Valley tech company that generates power based on temperature differences between body and surrounding air. As it doesn&apos;t require recharging, it eliminates the data loss that can occur when a device is taken off for charging.

MOTHER Bracelet is a solution to this as it is self-chargingBy utilizing hybrid charging from temperature difference and solar energy, it will charge continuously on its own. This major feature of the MOTHER Bracelet enables users to track health data for 24 hours,  365 days. You will notr lose data because you do not need to take it off for charning.  In 2021, MOTHER Bracelet successfully raised JPY 56 million on the Japanese crowdfunding site, MAKUAKE, ending in the 1st place in the healthcare gadgets category.
