To a World Where Everyone Can Anticipate 'Unnoticed Body Changes' - Creating a Future Where Medical Care Supports from Behind the Scenes of Daily Life
MaRI Inc. announced its vision for a future of preventative medicine as part of the 'April Dream' project, utilizing non-contact mmWave radar technology to sense health abnormalities before symptoms appear.

## 1) Towards a Society That Never Misses 'Body Signs' Still Unseen
People encounter medical care for the first time only when they notice a change in their bodies. However, in many cases, it is 'after it has already progressed.'
Disturbances in breathing during sleep. Subtle changes in heart rate. Small signs of abnormalities lurking in daily life.
Originally, these should be things we can notice much earlier and more naturally.
What if, without doing anything special, you could naturally know your health status in your daily life?
What if a society was realized where abnormalities 'secretly notify' you before you become self-aware?
We want to end the world where 'people encounter medical care only after getting sick.' We envision a society where medical care does not appear in front, but exists to support people's health in places they don't notice.
That is the dream of MaRI Inc.
## 2) Towards a Society Where 'Invisible Data' Gently Protects People
MaRI Inc. has established technology to acquire vital data non-contactly and non-intrusively using millimeter-wave radar technology.
This technology, which can continuously acquire information such as breathing, heart rate, and body movement without burdening the person, has the accuracy of a medical device while naturally blending into daily life.
Our goal is not to 'collect data.' It is to make it possible to gently notice body changes that people themselves do not notice.
For example, breathing disturbances during sleep that you can't notice yourself, or slight changes in physical condition from day to day. We want these to be captured naturally, without the need for special awareness.

FAQ
How does millimeter-wave radar measure health conditions?
It irradiates the body with extremely weak radio waves and detects chest movements (breathing) and subtle vibrations (heartbeats) from the reflections. Unlike cameras or wearable devices, it can measure without wearing anything while maintaining privacy.
Can it be used at home?
Yes. In the future, we aim to popularize it as a device that can automatically monitor the health and sleep quality of family members by simply installing it beside the bed or on the bedroom wall.
What diseases can it help prevent?
It is expected to be effective in early detection of conditions such as sleep apnea syndrome (SAS), irregularities in breathing and heartbeat that can indicate heart failure, and changes in the health of elderly individuals.
