The participant had never been diagnosed with arrhythmia and had no symptoms, but arrhythmia was confirmed during exercise. The stress placed on the heart during exercise may increase the risk of arrhythmia, so regular stress electrocardiogram measurements are important. Background of stress electrocardiogram measurement event In recent years, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has announced the risks of lifestyle-related diseases, and interest in fitness is increasing year by year in Japan. Therefore, we held an event for LifeFit members to measure stress electrocardiograms while using a treadmill, with the aim of early detection of arrhythmia and promoting understanding of heart disease. In this event, participants will be asked to wear wearable electrocardiograms and exercise on a treadmill. By analyzing the electrocardiogram data obtained during this process, we aim to detect arrhythmia early and provide treatment if necessary. The total number of patients with arrhythmia is estimated to be approximately 962,000 people (*1), and the number of patients with arrhythmia begins to increase little by little starting in their 40s, and the incidence increases with age. Previous home heart checkups (R) have found signs of arrhythmia in approximately one in two people over 50. (※2) *1: 2020 Patient Survey Confirmed Number Nationwide Report | Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare *2: Percentage of people whose arrhythmia was graded as B or C in their home heart checkup Risk of arrhythmia and sudden death during exercise It is known that arrhythmia that occurs during exercise is difficult to detect when the patient is at rest, and there are often no symptoms in daily life. The risk of arrhythmia during exercise can increase when stress is placed on the heart, and it is known that 80% of sudden deaths during exercise are cardiac-related (*3). In addition, there is data that shows that the risk of sudden cardiac death during exercise is 17 times higher than at rest (*4), and ECG measurements during exercise are especially important for people who play sports or exercise regularly to prevent heart disease. This is thought to be useful for early detection. *3: Preventive measures for sudden death and accidental death during sports – Epidemiological analysis from autopsy cases – (Tokyo Jikei University School of Medicine) *4： Japanese Circulation Society – Recommendations regarding AED Future prospects Based on the results of this event, Kokoro Mill plans to continue collaborating with FiT and holding regular stress electrocardiogram measurement events for gym users. The results revealed that arrhythmia often has no symptoms and is easily overlooked. Therefore, by continuing these efforts at the gym, we aim to promote early detection of signs of arrhythmia and foster a culture of stress electrocardiogram measurements at the gym. Through this initiative, we will contribute to the early detection of arrhythmia and the prevention of heart disease risk, and will also support participants in improving their health awareness through participation in the event.

The electrocardiogram data acquired by the device is analyzed by a specialist and a report is created. You can easily undergo tests that are of the same standard as medical care. By measuring
electrocardiograms over a long period of time, it is possible to discover hidden heart diseases that cannot be detected with
conventional medical checkups or physical checkups that take about 15 seconds. Furthermore, it is possible to visualize sleep quality and stress and detect sleep apnea syndrome. This can help address potential health risks early and improve quality of life. Company profile Our company’s mission is to “create a society where people do not have regrets due to illness,” and we provide an electrocardiogram analysis service called “Home Heart Checkup,” which allows for long-term testing. In the future, many people will be able to utilize the acquired data to visualize the physical and mental conditions of themselves and their loved ones, improve their healthy life
expectancy, and improve their QOL (quality of life). We will increase the amount of time we can spend happily with people. Company name: Kokoro Mill Co., Ltd. Representative Director and President: Daiki Hayashi Address: 2F Kanno Building, 6-2-16 Nishi-Shinjuku,
