Lausanne, Switzerland, Kawasaki, Japan, and New Taipei City, Taiwan, October 24, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), the international governing body for gymnastics worldwide Fujitsu Limited, and Acer Medical Inc., which provides AI-powered medical image processing and preventive medicine, today announced a collaboration to develop a points-based health promoting insurance concept. The proposed service will feature a smartphone app, developed by Acer Medical, that uses AI to digitize FIG's gymnastics program for seniors.Through its Measures for Aging Society Working Group (ASWG), FIG aims to promote healthy aging by offering a gymnastics program for seniors aimed at preventing frailty in later life. In this collaboration, Acer Medical has developed a smartphone app that digitizes this program. The app utilizes aiGait powered by Uvance, a solution in development by Acer Medical that incorporates Fujitsu's advanced skeleton recognition AI technology from its AI Technologies and Solutions offering, to serve as a reference for the early discovery of relevant diseases. Users perform exercises recommended by FIG's ASWG and the app captures their movements with a camera, analyzing form as well as muscle strength and range of motion to evaluate whether exercises are performed correctly. Based on these assessments, the app proposes suitable exercise routines for each user.Figure 1: Screenshot from the app showing analysis of hamstring muscle strengthThe three parties will carry out a field trial from October 23 to October 24, 2025 at the 53rd Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Jakarta where local seniors will be able to experience the app.Furthermore, the three parties will develop a points-based health-promotion insurance concept. This proposed service will convert users' exercise assessments from the app and participation in health check-ups into points, which can then be used for insurance premium discounts or other benefits. Participating insurance companies will be selected by the parties at a later date.Through this initiative, FIG aims to promote the widespread adoption of gymnastics programs for seniors and accelerate its contribution to extending healthy life expectancies through sports, as envisioned by the ASWG. The initial target for this insurance service will be the estimated 30 million worldwide participants in FIG’s Gymnastics for All sports program. FIG will also contribute to the World Health Organization (WHO)’s Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia [1].Fujitsu will contribute to promoting the health of seniors through its advanced skeleton recognition AI technology. Furthermore, under its Uvance business model, which addresses societal challenges, Fujitsu will continue to co-create with Uvance Partners to realize advanced health management services through Decision Intelligence powered by data and AI, thereby advancing people's well-being.Acer Medical will enhance the abnormal gait pattern detection function in aiGait to meet the growing demand for preventive medicine and smart healthcare in aging societies. Acer Medical is transforming routine movements—like standing, sitting, and walking—into valuable clinical insights. The goal is to help caregivers and clinicians detect subtle changes early, enabling timely intervention and improving patient outcomes.About Powered by Uvance / Uvance PartnersAchieving the sustainability transformation envisioned by Fujitsu Uvance requires collaboration with partners who bring diverse knowledge and technologies to jointly create a sustainable future.

TOKYO, October 24, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sharp has developed the second iteration of its EV (electric vehicle) concept model “LDK+,” focusing on the parking time and proposing its use as an “extension of the living room.” Under the new key message “Part of your home,” the model will make its debut at Japan Mobility Show 2025, one of Japan’s largest mobility events, held at TOKYO BIG SIGHT (Koto-ku, Tokyo) from October 30 (Thursday) to November 9 (Sunday) this year."LDK+" (Left: Concept Model, right: Key Visual)In September 2024, Sharp unveiled the first “LDK+” concept model. By integrating Sharp’s proprietary AI technology “CE-LLM” (*1), along with AIoT and sensing technologies, Sharp proposes a new future for mobility that enables comfortable and sustainable lifestyles by connecting EVs with living spaces and energy devices.The second iteration of “LDK+” retains the original concept while featuring both high maneuverability with its compact body and a spacious, relaxing interior. Developed based on the“Model A” EV by Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn). (*2), this compact minivan model offers an expansive cabin layout.When parked, the vehicle can be used as a theater room or a remote workspace. A console box equipped with a table and projector is placed between the driver’s and passenger’s seats. By swiveling the driver’s seat to face backward, it creates a living room-like atmosphere where you can sit around with the rear seats. Pulling down the screen installed above the rear seats allows you to enjoy movies or conduct online meetings on a large display. Through Sharp’s AIoT platform, which connects AI and home appliances, the vehicle links with household devices such as kitchen appliances, air conditioning, and laundry systems. The AI learns residents’ lifestyles and preferences, creating personalized new ways of living. In addition, the system can connect with V2H (Vehicle to Home) solutions, enabling efficient energy management by integrating solar power generation and residential storage batteries.Sharp is committed to creating new values through the fusion of future lifestyles and mobility.*1 CE-LLM (Communication Edge - Large Language Model) is Sharp’s proprietary AI technology.
