NTT Communications (NTT Com) has the concept of “creating a society in which fewer people, families, and companies feel anxious about dementia,” and has launched “Brain Health Check Plus,” which uses AI to check the state of cognitive decline at an early stage. Paid trial has started.
“Brain Health Check Plus” is planned to be rolled out as a service for corporations, but this time a dedicated number has been prepared so that individuals can also use it as a paid trial (phone number: 0570-012354).
“Brain Health Check Plus” uses “M-KENSA,” an AI that monitors cognitive functions jointly developed by the company and Nippon Tect Systems. By checking silence during answer utterances, voice pitch, time orientation, immediate memory, working memory, etc., you can check the state of cognitive function in five stages, which is more detailed than  “brain health check toll-free number”. It is possible to grasp the stage just before the onset of the disease.
Dementia has advanced stages, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a preliminary stage of dementia. MCI is a condition in which “you feel a decline in your cognitive function, your cognitive level is lower than people of the same age, but you are basically able to lead your daily life normally”. It is said that there are about 4 million people.
