Chikaku
Communication service
Chikaku Inc.
Chikaku solves key challenges faced by elderly and families: communication barriers posed by Japanese seniors' struggles with smartphones and limited internet access. This house-shaped device transforms TV into intuitive video calling systems. Unlike intrusive monitoring cameras that elderly reject, its discreet design conceals the built-in camera that detects presence, allowing quick well-being checks through the app. Family can check if their relative is home and start talks with one button. With built-in SIM, no WiFi setup needed. Future updates will enable remote medical care. Chikaku reduces isolation while preserving privacy & dignity.
