We are pleased to announce that PST’s Vocal Biomarker Technology has been adopted for the “TwooCa Mental Check Service,” a new optional feature of “TwooCa,” a digital employee ID application with Visa payment function provided by Kort Valuta, a partner company of PST.

■ Service Overview
“TwooCa Mental Check Service” is an innovative healthcare support tool that complements conventional stress checks, using PST’s proprietary voice analysis technology, users only need to speak into their smartphones for a few seconds to have their “Mind Index (Kokoro Shisu)” calculated in an intuitive and understandable way. This index indicates the state of mind for the past two weeks on a 10-point scale, providing real-time feedback on one’s own mental and physical condition.

■ Main Features

1. Simple operation
Mental checks can be performed with only a few seconds of voice input within the application.

2. Highly accurate analysis
PST’s unique Vocal Biomarker Technology enables objective and continuous quantification of mental health status and understanding of trends.

3. Corporate dashboard
Managers can centrally manage trends in the “Mind Index (Kokoro Shisu)” of all employees and implement early countermeasures and support.

4. Integration with integrated platform
Seamlessly linked with existing TwooCa functions such as electronic payment, time and attendance management, and employee benefit programs, supporting daily health management in a natural way.

■ Background
In recent years, the importance of mental health measures in companies has been rapidly increasing. This service is positioned as a tool for more objectively identifying potential mental disorders and signs of stress, which are difficult to detect with only the “stress check required by laws and regulations” stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. By introducing this tool, companies can visualize the health status of their employees in real time, and early detection of any changes through appropriate care is expected to contribute to a reduction in employee turnover and improved productivity.

■ Future Outlook
PST will continue to focus on research and development of innovative healthcare solutions centered on voice analysis technology, and strive to enhance the value of various services that support corporate health management. We are confident that the “TwooCa Mental Check Service” will serve as an example of such a service, and will be a major step forward in helping more and more companies to promote their efforts to realize a healthy work environment.
