GRIFFY Adds 'Crouching Detection,' 'AI Advice,' and Integration with Field Chat 'direct' to its Health Management Solution 'GenVital LTE'

Ecomott Inc. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; CEO: Takuya Irisawa; hereinafter 'Ecomott') announces that its consolidated subsidiary, GRIFFY Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takuya Irisawa; hereinafter 'GRIFFY'), will add new features to its health management solution 'GenVital LTE' starting mid-April 2026. These features include 'crouching detection,' 'AI advice,' and integration with the field chat 'direct' provided by L is B, Inc. ### Overview of New Features **** If a worker remains immobile for a sustained period due to poor health, it is detected as 'crouching.' In addition to an alert on the wristband itself, an alert email is sent to the work supervisor. The supervisor can check the subject's location information and the time of occurrence from a dedicated cloud service, enabling a swift response. **** Based on data collected from the wristband wearer, a weekly report comparing the past two weeks is sent out every week. In addition to displaying a digest of alert occurrences and workload, an AI provides advice on health management. This supports the organization of work-related points of caution and the giving of instructions to on-site workers. **** It is now possible to send push notifications for various alerts from GenVital LTE to 'direct,' a field chat widely used on construction sites. By enabling confirmation on a daily-used communication tool, it helps prevent oversights by work supervisors and reduces time lags before action is taken. *An account for 'direct' is required to receive notifications.* The implementation of these new features will further improve the safety of on-site workers and realize more efficient safety management. ### GenVital LTE Product Overview ○ Based on the heart rate and location information of on-site workers collected from the wristband, as well as the heat index within the construction site, calculations are performed using a health condition determination algorithm, which is a patented technology of Obayashi Corporation. The worker's condition is promptly notified to the work supervisor and the worker themselves as a four-level comprehensive alert, providing strong support for the health management of on-site workers. ○ Data is sent directly from the heart rate monitoring wristband* to the dedicated cloud service 'GRIFFY wear.' via LTE communication, so on-site workers can easily use it just by wearing the wristband. The heart rate measurement interval is 20 seconds, and the collected data on the dedicated cloud service is updated every minute. It is possible to check heart rate, heat index, SOS signals, and fall occurrences in real time from the management screen. ○ It also includes a function to detect falls of the wristband wearer and an SOS function for the wearer to send a signal to the work supervisor. Since the wristband also acquires location data, the current position of the person who triggered an alert or sent an SOS can be easily identified. Furthermore, since the heat index within the site can be obtained via API integration from Weathernews Inc., the product can be used without measuring the heat index on site. ○ In 2025, just six months after its launch, it had an implementation record of over 2,300 units in 100 companies, and was highly evaluated for its effectiveness, advanced nature, and ripple effect, receiving the 'FY2025 Infrastructure DX Award' sponsored by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
