【Key Points of This Release】

Building on Care-Call.AI, previously focused mainly on adult children monitoring elderly parents from afar, the service now introduces two new offerings designed for seniors themselves to actively use.

● "Care-Call Mini": An affordable entry-level monitoring service at 500 JPY/month (tax included), sending a daily "I'm doing well" message to family via LINE.

● "Care-Call Talk": A personalized interactive phone talk show hosted by AI, calling at scheduled times (from 1,980 JPY/month, tax included).

Niusia Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiromi Kashioku, hereinafter "the company") has launched two new services under its AI-powered elderly monitoring service, "Care-Call.AI," targeting active seniors directly.

The new offerings are "Care-Call Mini," a 500 JPY/month (tax included) service using LINE to send a daily "I'm doing well" message to family, and "Care-Call Talk," which delivers two-way AI phone conversations as a daily source of enjoyment.

Previously, Care-Call.AI primarily served adult children monitoring parents living independently in distant hometowns.

These two new services expand the target from "children enrolling parents" to "parents themselves actively using connection services."

"Care-Call Mini" is a simple, LINE-based entry point allowing parents to proactively inform family they are doing well.

"Care-Call Talk" delivers much-needed companionship to isolated or homebound seniors through two-way AI phone conversations, offering an interactive chat-style phone service.

Care-Call Mini and Care-Call Talk

New Service 1: Care-Call Mini — 500 JPY/month. Send "I'm doing well" to family once daily via LINE

"Care-Call Mini" is a lightweight monitoring service via LINE for 500 JPY/month (tax included).

Parents simply tap "I'm doing well" on a daily message delivered via LINE to inform their family of their status.

No complicated operations, lengthy conversations, or time constraints of answering phone calls are required.

"I'm doing well today."

— This simple message brings great peace of mind to family members living apart.

【Main Features of Care-Call Mini】

Starting at 500 JPY/month (tax included); annual plan available at 3,600 JPY/year (tax included)

One-tap confirmation via LINE message saying "I'm doing well"

No complicated operations, lengthy conversations, or time constraints for phone calls

Optional short replies allowed

Family members see a simple daily status update on their screens

No installation, dedicated devices, or internet setup required (can start with LINE only)

Designed so parents actively "share their well-being" rather than passively "being monitored"

Traditional monitoring services have often been designed primarily for family peace of mind, using sensors, automated voice calls, or in-person visits.

Care-Call Mini prioritizes seniors' autonomy, designed not for "being monitored" but for "actively sharing one's well-being."

Major elderly monitoring services with publicly listed prices typically range from 1,000 JPY to several thousand JPY per month.

(Some sensor-based or emergency response services cost several thousand to over 10,000 JPY monthly.)

By focusing solely on "daily well-being sharing," and eliminating the need for installation, dedicated devices, or internet setup, Care-Call Mini achieves an accessible price of 500 JPY/month.

※ This service does not provide emergency alerts, medical assistance, or health assessments. For emergency response or more detailed monitoring, please consider higher-tier plans or telephone-based monitoring services.

New Service 2: Care-Call Talk — A 5-minute two-way phone talk show with AI as your companion

"Care-Call Talk" is a phone service where an AI host calls at a scheduled time and engages in two-way conversation with the senior.

While the original Care-Call.AI primarily focused on safety checks, Care-Call Talk centers on "the joy of conversation," making it a unique entertainment service powered by AI.

This is not a safety check.

An AI host calls daily or several times a week, delivering a personalized "chat show" for each individual. Though called a "show," it is not one-sided—interactive dialogue is central.

Topics include Showa-era music, memories of old TV and radio programs, seasonal talk, travel memories, and lighthearted daily anecdotes. The AI naturally incorporates past conversations, referencing "that trip you mentioned before," "stories about your grandchildren," or "memories of your favorite songs."

"Hanashinosuke," who tells humorous stories like a rakugo performer

"Monoshiri-Hosan," who shares fun facts about daily life

"Melody-san," who excels at stories about nostalgic songs

— Three distinct AI hosts rotate by day of the week.

(While actual songs are not played, users can enjoy nostalgic stories about classic tunes.)

Care-Call Talk / A daily chat show with AI

【Main Features of Care-Call Talk】

AI initiates the call—users simply answer and talk

Compatible with both landlines and mobile phones

Approximately 5 minutes per call—just the right conversation length

"Program-style" design featuring three distinct AI hosts rotating by day

AI remembers past conversations and naturally continues topics

Family members can also view conversation records

Lighthearted stories and nostalgic talk make each session something to look forward to

The focus is not on long conversations, but on making users look forward to the next call.

By ending each call at just the right moment with "See you next time," the service aims to make phone calls a joyful part of daily life, not a burden.

Care-Call Talk Program Schedule

Separate Options for "Still-Energetic Parents" and "Slightly-Lonely Parents"

These two new services, while both targeting seniors, serve different use cases.

Care-Call Mini is ideal for active seniors who are still energetic, capable of making their own decisions, and want to proactively update their families—perfect for those who "don't need constant worry, but want to reassure their family."

Care-Call Talk suits those with fewer opportunities to talk, such as seniors living alone, those who lost a spouse, or those with reduced outings—people who would enjoy adding a bit of conversation and joy to their daily lives.

For families, the ability to choose based on their parent's condition is a major benefit.

For energetic parents: Care-Call Mini, the 500 JPY/month LINE check-in

For parents seeking conversation: Care-Call Talk, the AI-powered chat time

If more comprehensive monitoring is needed, existing Care-Call.AI services—"Phone Monitoring" or "LINE Monitoring"—are available

This way, families can seamlessly and progressively adopt services according to their parents' changing needs and emotional state.
