Bodygram Inc., an investee of Inspire Investment Corporation, announces that Daiwa Life With Co., Ltd., which provides cleaning services for condominiums and employs a large number of elderly workers, has adopted the AI-powered body measurement technology Bodygram as a new initiative in the healthcare field. The introduction of this system enables the instant skeletal muscle mass estimation and posture analysis, to confirm the situation of senior employees while focusing on their safety and maintaining a healthy work environment.

According to the investigation conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the proportion of the elderly aged 65 or over to the total population in Japan has reached its highest rate ever, and the population of elderly workers has also increased for 17 years in a row. This population is expected to continue to grow in the future.
