Smile Space Inc. | Mr. Yamaguchi

■ Introduction to Smile Space

Our company specializes in providing tailored exercise training and various services for individuals with Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder. We also focus on the development and research of effective training methods.

■ Challenges Before Introducing SPLYZA Motion

Before implementing SPLYZA Motion, our primary challenge was that evaluations of users' movements and postures relied heavily on visual observation and experience, making it difficult to quantify the data.

■ Reasons for Choosing SPLYZA Motion

The main deciding factor was the simplicity of the app. It displays clear numerical data and provides stick figure illustrations synchronized with video, making it easy to understand. Additionally, the comprehensive support offered during the onboarding process was a significant advantage.

■ Practical Use of SPLYZA Motion

We conduct in-person training sessions at our studio, where we use SPLYZA Motion to measure movements such as walking. After the measurements, we share the numerical data and videos with the facility users on the spot. For those in remote locations, we ask them to send walking videos, which we analyze with SPLYZA Motion and share the results via screenshots. For individuals in remote areas or those experiencing fluctuations in their condition, we provide options to train at home using platforms like Zoom or Skype.

■ Effects After Introducing SPLYZA Motion

One significant benefit is the ability to quantify and visually confirm changes in walking and posture, regardless of whether the training is conducted in-person or remotely. This has made it easier to identify challenges and boost motivation. Users themselves have reported noticing positive changes. For remote users, especially, it serves as a great opportunity to monitor their progress.

Additionally, the ability to summarize measured data into tables for tracking progress has proven valuable. This helps in identifying user challenges and further enhancing their motivation.
