Tellus You Care was founded by two entrepreneurs with experience at Google and Apple who wanted to use advanced technology to improve elderly caregiving. To prepare for the rapid increase of the elderly population, small, contactless radar devices are installed in caregiving facilities and the homes of elderly people who live alone to detect their health information. The elderly person’s sleep status is also monitored using AI-based data processing to maintain their health over the long term. (Tellus You Care, Inc.)

Our TRMTM technology is a sensor-less IoT technology that uses AI to analyze Wi-Fi and other signals to detect the circumstances in a space. For example, this makes it possible to detect human movements inside buildings, monitor breathing during sleep, detect if doors are open or closed, and tell if someone has fallen inside even when not using wearable devices, all with regular Wi-Fi equipment. We also provide more sophisticated spatial detection functionality by combining multiple wireless AI engines. (Origin Wireless Japan, Inc.)

We offer OKIPPA bags that are linked to an app to resolve the need for package redelivery, which is a social issue. To receive a package in your entryway, just hang up this bag (which fits in the palm of your hand) on your front door. And by linking OKIPPA with a smart lock, delivery drivers can even automatically enter an apartment building with a locked entrance to leave your package by your door. More than 120,000 of these bags have been sold. We are striving to have this product used by one million households this year to create infrastructure for the easy receipt of packages. (Yper Inc.)
