ALITA SupportMonitor

ALITA Co., Ltd. is a Japanese company that develops SupportMonitor, a millimetre-wave sensor device for watching over elderly people. The company states its mission as using AI to support health and safe living, and its news items refer to Yokohama programmes (TEC HUB YOKOHAMA and a city start-up subsidy).

SupportMonitor uses a millimetre-wave sensor, with no camera, to detect human presence and position, entry and exit, falls, breathing and heart rate, bed exits, rollovers and sleep quality. Case studies on the site cover a Japanese health facility for the elderly (care facility) and a home where an elderly person lives alone.

• Presence and location: Detects human bodies and tracks position in a room.
• Fall detection: Detects falls using millimetre-wave sensing without a camera.
• Vital signs: Detects breathing and heart rate without contact.
• Bed monitoring: Tracks bed presence, bed exits and rollovers.
• Sleep quality: Monitors sleep quality over the night.
• Entry and exit monitoring: Records when a person enters or leaves the monitored space.

Private nursing homes in Vietnam can monitor falls and sleep at night without cameras. Families and service providers can watch over elderly people living alone in apartments. Rehabilitation or geriatric wards can track bed exits.

Camera-free sensing protects privacy in bedrooms and bathrooms. One device covers falls, vital signs, bed exits and sleep quality, reducing the number of separate sensors. Recorded case studies include a care facility and a single-person home, showing use in both settings.

Japan's ageing society drives demand for camera-free watch-over sensors in care facilities and for people living alone. Vietnam is ageing more slowly but private elderly care facilities and solo-living seniors in cities are an emerging market for the same sensing approach.

Site news lists TEC HUB YOKOHAMA membership (March 2025), selection for a Yokohama start-up demonstration subsidy (July 2025) and a heatstroke warning solution with iTEC (August 2025). Founding year and address are not stated on the fetched site.
