Science So-hyun Moon “When I was in middle school, I had won a Korean entrepreneurship competition, and when I told him about it, Oda-kun invited me and we decided to apply for “Red Bull Basement” together.I’m an international student and don’t speak much Japanese. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to convey everything I wanted to say at the “Red Bull Basement Japan Finals” because I wasn’t very good at it, but I’m confident in my English, so I had to improve my English skills for the “Red Bull Basement World Finals.” I think they’ll let it come out.” Tokyo University of
Science Rintaro Oda “I heard from a friend who was studying abroad in Canada that there was an interesting event called “Red Bull Basement,” and since I was in the sciences it was interesting, so I took an interest in it, and since I was in junior high school, I’ve been starting my own business and creating new ideas on my own. When I heard that he was doing something like that, I invited him. Since I’m going to participate in the Red Bull Basement World Finals, I’m going to do my best in the next three weeks with the feeling that I’m going to win.” Idea “MIGAKO” An idea for a toothpaste brush that uses AI to analyze and diagnose the state of oral health. Given that it is difficult to notice changes in the mouth and some people are reluctant to visit the dentist, we have proposed a service that can measure the state of oral health by brushing their teeth. A toothbrush is equipped with a small sensor, and the collected data is analyzed by an AI program that learns from the Internet and materials held by the dentist, and the state of health can be measured. Measurement results are shared with users via the app, and simple advice is also provided.

I think there was a lot of pressure, and I think they prepared a lot. I was able to see everyone’s wonderful presentations in Fukuoka City, and I think it was a real honor to hold the event in Fukuoka. I support startups in Fukuoka, and I also work to provide fields for demonstration experiments, so I would like to do my best to support startups in Fukuoka. ” Takumi Yoshida (Representative Director, Seven Sense Co., Ltd./Director/Video Creator) “To be honest, there are many aspects of MIGAKO that need improvement, such as its feasibility and medical expertise, but I hope that it will be improved over the next few weeks and be recognized around the world, so I chose it with expectations in mind. So I hope you will do your best. The other contestants had a very wide range of ideas, and there were many ideas that I thought they could do on their own, so I hope that if you continue to move forward without having to do anything with Red Bull Basement, there will be other possibilities. I thought it was sexual. I hope that everyone who was not selected to represent Japan will continue to take on the challenge. ” NCMS Ryohei Kasai (Red Bull Basement 2021 National Winner) “The proposal for MIGAKO was an idea that I thought it would be nice to have, but it was a reality, so I was very enthusiastic about it. What’s more, I think it’s a great idea that could solve the world’s problems. Although there are some technical difficulties, I hope that during the three-week mentoring sessions leading up to the Red Bull Basement Global Finals, they will be able to brush up on their skills and increase their feasibility. ” NCMS Yukiaki Soeda (Red Bull Basement 2021 National Winner) “It was a lot of fun and there were a lot of very interesting ideas.”I hope people will spend the next three weeks brushing up on “MIGAKO,” experiencing the world first-hand, and using it for the future.” What is Red Bull Basement Red Bull Basement is a project that helps the next generation of innovators leverage AI technology to discover and launch innovative ideas.
