Demonstration background of “Senior/child walking promotion service using monitoring tags and ICT”
While there are concerns about the aging of the population in many countries around the world, Japan’s population aging rate (aged 65 and over) in recent years has risen at an unprecedented rate even overseas. Data * 1 that it will become a “super-aging society” in the first place has also been announced. In addition, the environment surrounding children has changed greatly with the times, and with the increase in double-income households, the amount of time spent alone or with children has increased, and the number of local volunteers has decreased. The “eyes of the region” are being lost. In the Tama area, where this service will be demonstrated, it is said that seniors are becoming more concerned about their health due to the reduced opportunities to go out due to the corona vortex, and there are a relatively large number of children. It is In addition, due to the declining birthrate and aging population, it is also possible that there are fewer opportunities for interaction between seniors and children in the community.
To solve local issues, G&S collaborates with Keio Electric Railway, Odakyu Electric Railway, and Oracle Japan-Promoting healthy longevity by creating opportunities for the elderly to go out–Improvement of school routes that contribute to watching over children through station passage notifications– Based on the creation of mutual existence recognition between neighboring residents starting from the store, we aim to revitalize the city where children and the elderly can live safely and securely by going out.

Reference for initiatives
From January to March 2022, G&S will carry out the “Hanasaka Project” as a demonstration experiment to promote health and revitalize the city’s community at Keio Electric Railway and Hino City. We have started demonstrating the new service “Odakyu x biblle Mimamori Notification Service” that aims to create a “friendly” town. ・”Machi no Hanasaki Project” Demonstration experiment for promoting health and revitalizing the city’s community
To verify whether motivating “a little fun” and “contributing to the community” will lead to promotion of going out, we will conduct the “FY2021 New Coronavirus Infectious Disease Solution Social Business Joint Project” of Hino City, Tokyo. It was carried out by Keio Electric Railway Co., Ltd., using the “Creation Business Subsidy”. Participants who have dedicated beacons (location information monitoring tags) or smartphone apps can exchange the points they have accumulated by passing each other on the road or by visiting designated point spots for fresh flowers and flower seedlings. I built it.

・ Demonstration experiment of “Odakyu x biblle Watch Notification Service” starting from the station
It is a new service that aims to create a city where residents along the Odakyu Railway lines can live with peace of mind from the viewpoint of “protection” by linking the areas along the Odakyu Railway lines with the in-house system developed by G&S. So, we are working on it as part of the “Odakyu ONE Parenting Support Program” for the child-rearing generation that started in April 2022. Using the location information acquisition function that is updated when the monitoring tag passes and the reception function of the receiver installed along the Odakyu line and in surrounding
facilities, the current location of the child with the special tag can be confirmed to the parents by notification email through the app. It is a “child monitoring mail delivery function” that you can use. Press release from Odakyu Electric Railway
