Sikinsou Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yosuke Hara; hereinafter "Sikinsou") will begin offering "Mykinso Explorer," a data application based on over 200,000 cumulative gut microbiome data sets, starting April 6, 2026.
By utilizing this service, R&D and marketing personnel at food, beverage, and supplement manufacturers can cross-sectionally analyze consumer data and gut microbiome data, enabling them to conduct everything from hypothesis exploration to verification design in a one-stop manner.
## Background
Until now, product development utilizing gut microbiome data faced the following challenges:
- In-house testing was a prerequisite, leading to high data acquisition costs and time.
- Difficulty in utilizing external data, making decision-making difficult in the early stages of hypothesis verification.
- Consequently, "wasted efforts" occurred in experimental design and PoC.
Against this backdrop, there was a demand for a mechanism that could quickly verify hypotheses using already collected Mykinso data.
This service is a groundbreaking solution that visualizes gut flora analysis, which tended to be a black box, in a "user-friendly format" for anyone to handle, dramatically improving the speed and accuracy of research and development.
## Service Overview
Mykinso Explorer is a statistical dashboard integrating gut microbiome data x consumer attribute data. Personnel at adopting institutions can achieve the following:
- Hypothesis exploration based on large-scale gut flora data without the need for in-house testing.
- Multi-faceted segment analysis by combining attributes, lifestyle habits, and gut flora.
- Decision-making support across product development, research, and marketing.
Main functions
This service allows for searching and analysis by combining the following information:
① Stratification by attribute information
- Gender, age, BMI, medical history, etc.
② Lifestyle habit information
- Eating habits (e.g., frequency of rice consumption)
- Bowel movement tendencies (e.g., constipation tendency)
- Exercise habits, etc.
③ Gut microbiome information
- Specific bacterial groups
