 A venture from Ibaraki University. Introduces a new assessment method for the health challenges of radiation workers through DNA damage evaluation. Provides an innovative healthcare service estimating cancer risk by analyzing DNA damage from just one drop of blood.

2. UNTRACKED Inc.
 A venture from Yokohama National University. Developed a wearable device that visualizes fall risk in just one minute. The device enables comprehensive evaluation of sensory and physical abilities linked to fall risk, which has been difficult to measure with conventional methods.

3. ASEMtech Inc.
 A venture from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology. Developed a new non-invasive imaging diagnostic and testing platform based on ASEM technology. Enables high-precision visualization of fibrosis and degenerative tissue changes that are difficult to detect with conventional CT or MRI.

4.LIFESCAPES Inc.
 A venture from Keio University. Developed brain-computer interface (BCI) technology for treating severe upper limb disabilities after stroke. This BCI system aims to reorganize brain circuits to enable hand movement even after device removal, seeking widespread application in neurorehabilitation.

5. ACCELStars, Inc.
 A venture from the University of Tokyo. Uses advanced AI and data science to elucidate sleep mechanisms and support new drug discovery. Developed a wrist-worn high-precision sleep measurement AI, surpassing Fitbit and Apple Watch, with particular accuracy in analyzing wakefulness disorders.

6.Research by Professor Yoshika Sekine, Tokai University
 Research on skin gas analysis. Prof. Sekine explores health monitoring through various volatile compounds emitted from the skin surface (alcohol, stress, dietary detection), as well as potential industrial applications including personal identification through skin gas pattern analysis.
