Young Woman Entreprenuer Who Cares About Stool

I found the article which describes the story of Ms. Yoshimi Ui, who is a young woman entrepreneur who graduated Chiba Institute of Technology, founded the venture company which develop a censor to analyze stool for elderly who needs a help from caregivers. Her motivation to develop such censor came from her youth days, though she is still 24 years old, when she was in junior high and high school. Back then, her favorite grandmother started suffering from severe depression, and her all family members were really gotten exhausted to care her grandmother,

She really felt back then, that there is a limit for human being to give continuous care for years. So, she though she would be great if she could develop something that will help caregivers to reduce their workloads.

She joined Future Robotics Faculty of Chiba Institute of Technology, and went out to a lot of care facilities and repeatedly conducted  researches about what technology can really help caregivers to relief their workload.

One of the sincere request is to analyze the stool of elderly, without opening diapers. After some trails, she developed censor that can detect the smell outside of the diaper, and analyze the stool to find out if such person is in good health condition. To find out business partners, she joined couple of business plan competition and won the reward from Chiba City Business Competition, in 2012, and also awarded from the competition sponsored by Development Bank of Japan.

She might be still young to understand what the real business is. But I think it is great if she could get from experienced business leader, and her dream really come true, which is to create robots that is affordable for the caregivers for their daily operations.
