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, alertness, 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, the field of health and productivity management has relied on retrospective data and results, such as:

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

However, in reality, immediate 'human states'—such as fatigue, loss of focus, fluctuations in alertness, psychological bandwidth, and recovery status—have a significant impact on daily performance and decision-making.

By enabling the non-contact acquisition of these states from biological responses—which were previously difficult to visualize—we are creating the potential to redefine health and productivity 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 to optimize experiences, services, and decision-making.

LaCause is designed not merely as an emotion analysis tool, but as a Human State Platform that functions as social infrastructure to treat human states as common data for society.

■ Application Design Areas in Health and Productivity Management

With LaCause, the following designs become possible in the field of health and productivity management:
