I am very honored to be selected for the King Salmon Project.
Magic Shields has taken on the challenge of improving the safety of medical and nursing care facilities through its proprietary Koroyawa Mat Sensor.
Through the demonstration of this project, we will accumulate evidence that will lead to real solutions to problems for the metropolitan government and further materialize the social impact of reducing falls. In addition, with the cooperation with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government as a starting point, we will move forward with the aim of spreading safety infrastructure nationwide and globally.
