Sensing & Data Solutions Fichvita™

Fichvita™ Logo
Fichvita (Fitch Vita) ™ is a collective name for artience group's digital technology solutions.
We propose new value to society that goes beyond manufacturing, such as the use of proprietary sensing devices and the processing, visualization, and analysis of data acquired by them, as well as the provision of AI-based solutions.

History and future vision

We started with the question of whether it was possible to develop devices that make use of our chemical materials Fichvita™The source of has started. Our proprietary sheet-type capacitive sensor, which was developed in this way, has been put into practical use in the nursing care field since 2020. In the future, we will not only develop devices, but also provide new solutions based on sensing and data to realize a safe, secure, and affluent society by combining our in-house data analysis technology, new technologies (such as AI) that are rapidly developing in society, and general-purpose sensing devices.

History of Fichvita™

Utilization of Fichvita™ in sensors

Fichvita™'s sensors are non-optical motion detection systems that use a combination of sheet-like units.
With our proprietary sensing devices, we will provide new interfaces for the realization of a safe, secure, and affluent society.

Recruitment example

The stable detection accuracy of the Fichvita™ and its durability that can withstand actual use have been highly evaluated, and it has been adopted by Paramount Bed Co., Ltd., a major nursing care bed company, since 2020.

Fichvita™ model "Kokochia Riraku FLOW"

Adoption of the industry's first method to automatically detect posture

Fichvita™The sensing system detects the position of the electrode device as the person moves by placing the electrode device at the top and bottom so that it sandwiches the mattress, and transmits the information to the control unit built into the mattress. The control unit works to change the mattress to the optimum firmness and inflate the air cells inside to support turning over. In addition, when you raise your body to leave the bed, the sensor detects your posture, and the mattress automatically increases the internal pressure to stabilize your posture when you sit on the edge of the bed.

In order to be useful in the following scenes, Kokochia Riraku Flow has been developing a function that automatically determines the body shape and adjusts the firmness, as well as an automatic position change function that does not cause discomfort to the person lying on the floor. Collaborating with Fichvita™ was very helpful in making that happen.

[Usage scene of Kokochia Riraku flow equipped with Fichvita™]
1. I.C.U. Acute phase
Repositioning of patients who are in pain when touched, such as hospitalization due to traffic accidents
Stiffness adjustment for patients with high body weight and many connected lines due to repositioning and postural changes
2. Facilities for the elderly
Even if the number of years of nursing care experience is short, there is no difference in the procedure
3. Home care for the elderly
Reduction of sleep deprivation and fatigue of caregivers through nighttime positional nursing care

Data services that utilize Fichvita™

It collects, stores, and analyzes data obtained from devices such as sensors. Ultimately, we aim to process and visualize the collected and analyzed data as an application and provide services that enrich people's lives.
