  3. Centralized management of care for households requiring support using the
    app

    By linking the SIM-enabled monitoring light with Yui Net, you can receive notifications about the status of each household. This allows you to check whether those in need of support are living their daily lives as usual, even when you cannot visit them in person, enabling multiple people to monitor their well-being with peace of mind.

    Emergency Notification

    • On for more than 24 hours
    • Notify the app
    • Confirmed by the neighborhood watch group

    If a light bulb remains on for more than 24 hours , a notification will be sent to the app of the designated monitor in the
    monitoring group.

    Implementation Process

    We will tailor our approach to suit the specific circumstances of each neighborhood association .
    In addition, starting the process in conjunction with traditional paper notice boards can help alleviate residents’ concerns .

    1. Hearing on the Challenges Faced by Neighborhood Associations

    2. Proposing operational approaches that lead to problem-solving

    3. Create a test account with features that help solve the problem

      We recommend groups that include people who are comfortable using smartphones, as well as groups where many members find it easy to communicate.

    4. Create accounts for the early adopter group and conduct operational testing

    5. Please digitize and share the membership directory

      * We can also assist with the digitization of your membership directory.

    6. Create accounts for all residents

    FAQ

    • Many older adults don’t own smartphones—do you think we can get them to adopt this technology?
      A smartphone or tablet is required to use the app. If you do not currently own one, you can either purchase a new device or borrow one from your neighborhood association.
      We offer support starting with smartphone training sessions, and even people in their 90s have been able to learn how to use the app with ease. We are here to help ensure a smooth transition, so please feel free to contact us.
    • We would like to implement this at the city or ward level (as a government initiative) rather than at the neighborhood association level. Is it possible to discuss this with you?
      Of course, we also provide support for implementations at the municipal level.
      Just as we do for neighborhood associations, we offer support for residents, such as hosting smartphone classes. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
    • Is there a free trial available?
      Yes, a free trial is available.
      First, we’ll discuss your specific needs—such as the challenges you’re trying to solve and how you plan to use the service—and then we’ll set up a trial account so you can try out the features for yourself.
