Sleep is a highly sensitive digital biomarker of the brain. We believe that measuring sleep with high precision will lead to a better understanding of the pathology of brain and mental illnesses. For example, psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia; developmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder; and central neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease occur together in many patients with sleep disorders.Our founder, Ueda, is a professor at the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Medicine. He specializes in sleep and circadian rhythms and is a world-renowned scientist in this area. CEO Miyahara also has many years of business development and company management experience in the digital health field. Also, Iwasa, an outside director, is a very well-known executive in the Japanese hardware industry. Executive Director Ogata is the founder of a well-known Japanese AI venture that has been funded by Google and is an expert in machine learning.Our strength is our service using the world's most accurate sleep measurement technology.
