## 1) Towards a Society That Never Misses 'Unseen Body Signs'
People usually encounter medical care only when they notice a change in their own bodies. However, in many cases, that is already 'after things have progressed.'
Irregular breathing during sleep. Slight changes in heart rate. Small signs of abnormality lurking in daily life.
Originally, these are things we should have been able to notice much earlier and more naturally.
What if, without doing anything special, you could naturally understand your health status in your daily life?
What if a society were realized where abnormalities quietly notify you 'before you become aware' of them?
We want to end the world of 'meeting medical care only after becoming ill.'
We envision a society where medical care does not appear in the foreground, but rather becomes an existence that supports people's health in places they don't notice.
That is the dream of Mari Co., Ltd.
## 2) Towards a Society Where 'Invisible Data' Quietly Protects People
Mari Co., Ltd. has established technology to acquire vital data in a non-contact and non-restrictive manner using millimeter-wave radar technology.
This technology, which can continuously obtain information such as respiration, heart rate, and body movement without placing a burden on the person, has the precision of a medical device while naturally blending into daily life.
Our goal is not 'to collect data.' It is to make it possible to quietly notice changes in the body that the person themselves does not perceive.
For example, irregular breathing during sleep that you can't notice yourself, or slight changes in physical condition from day to day.
By making it possible to grasp these naturally without any special awareness, people will be able to spend their daily lives with more peace of mind.
Healthcare is moving from being something to rely on after getting sick to being an existence that quietly supports you in places you don't notice.
If such a society is realized, people will not 'do something to protect their health,' but rather their health will be protected just by living their daily lives.
And we want this change to be something natural for everyone, not just for special people.
This may still be a dream. However, we already possess the technology to turn that dream into reality.
We sincerely look forward to meeting partners who will expand this future together with us.

FAQ
How does millimeter-wave radar monitor health?
It detects minute chest movements associated with breathing and heartbeats without physical contact, allowing for the monitoring of respiratory patterns and physical changes during sleep.
What is the difference between this and wearable devices?
The key advantage is that it requires no physical attachment. Users don't need to worry about discomfort during sleep or frequent charging, enabling seamless, unconscious data collection.
In which scenarios can this technology be applied?
Potential applications include home sleep monitoring, elderly care, childcare monitoring, and non-contact vital checks in hospitals.
