EcoNaviSta Inc. operates as a specialized technology firm focused on addressing societal challenges, particularly within Japan's aged care sector, through sleep data analytics. The company was founded in November 2009 by Dr. Osami Kajimoto, a prominent physician and researcher in sleep and fatigue medicine from Osaka City University. The inspiration for the business came from Dr. Kajimoto's personal experience with parental care, which highlighted the need for a solution that could ease the burden on both caregivers and recipients while preserving their dignity. This led to the development of technology aimed at proactive care by identifying predictive signs of change, rather than reacting after an incident.
The company's core offering is "LifeRhythm NAVI +Dr.," a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) monitoring system designed for elderly care facilities. This system utilizes proprietary sleep sensors and AI algorithms to analyze sleep and vital data, providing real-time insights into residents' health. By automatically tracking life rhythms, the platform helps predict potential health issues like dementia or heatstroke, enabling preventative care. For care facilities, this translates to increased operational efficiency, reduced staff workload, and a shift from reactive to proactive care. The system's data can also be linked with care recording software to automate documentation. Building on this, the company also offers "LifeRhythm NAVI +HOME" in partnership with Tokyo Gas, extending its monitoring services to individuals living at home. Revenue is generated through the sale of sensor hardware and monthly subscription fees for the SaaS platform.
A significant milestone was the company's IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in July 2023. In March 2025, pharmaceutical company Eisai Co., Ltd. initiated a tender offer to acquire EcoNaviSta, aiming to integrate its technology as a core component of Eisai's "dementia ecosystem" platform. This strategic move is intended to leverage EcoNaviSta's monitoring capabilities for the early detection of cognitive decline. Prior to recent changes, the company was led by CEO Kimito Watanabe. Current leadership includes Chairman Keisuke Naito and President Shigemasa Sugisaki.
