Olive Unveils Design Framework for Utilizing 'Human State Data' in Health and Productivity Management

Olive Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi; Representative Director: Seiji Takeuchi) has unveiled a new design philosophy and application area for health and productivity management based on 'Human State Data.' This is powered by the Human State Platform 'LaCause,' which visualizes states such as emotion, arousal, focus, and stress through non-contact biological response analysis, rather than facial expression recognition.

This release outlines how the 'Human State Data Infrastructure' can be utilized in corporate health management to transform employee well-being, productivity, and organizational design.

■ Background: Redesigning Health Management from 'Results' to 'States'

Traditionally, health management has relied on retrospective data and outcomes, such as:

・Stress checks
・Surveys
・Attendance data
・Turnover rates
・Productivity metrics

However, in reality, momentary 'human states'—such as fatigue, loss of focus, fluctuations in arousal, psychological bandwidth, and recovery status—significantly impact daily performance and decision-making.

By enabling the non-contact acquisition of these states, which were previously difficult to visualize, we are creating the potential to redefine health management itself.

■ What is the Human State Data Infrastructure?

The 'Human State Data Infrastructure' built by Olive is a social infrastructure that digitizes human states in real-time based on biological responses, optimizing experiences, services, and decision-making. LaCause is designed not merely as an emotion analysis tool, but as a Human State Platform that functions as a social infrastructure for treating human states as common data.

■ Application Design Areas in Health Management

LaCause enables the following designs in the field of health management:
