Welmo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City; Yusuke Kano, Chairman & President) has announced that its joint research with Dr. Ririko Takaishi of the International University of Health and Welfare (IUHW) has been selected for the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). The research title is "Construction of a New Practical Model for Utilizing Regional Issues Extracted from Support Records in Regional Welfare Planning."

### Research Background: Voices Hidden in Support Records While local governments are encouraged to formulate regional welfare plans, traditional methods like surveys often suffer from participant bias. Conversely, care and welfare sites generate vast amounts of "support records" from care managers and social workers, which have historically been used only for individual case management. This study aims to analyze these records as big data to reflect real-world needs in policy development.

### Research Overview and Welmo's Role The project utilizes the structured recording method "F-SOAIP." Welmo, which released the F-SOAIP-compatible voice recording AI "Milmo Recorder" in 2024, will contribute the following: - Technical cooperation in AI-based analysis and classification of record data. - Provision of its F-SOAIP-based record creation system. - Establishment of data management systems based on research ethics.

### Significance of the Research 1. **Value Creation for Support Records**: Demonstrating how daily records can influence community-wide welfare policies. 2. **Realizing Evidence-Based Planning**: Visualizing real-world issues that surveys might miss through data-driven insights. 3. **Scalability**: The model could be applied to other administrative plans and set a global standard for data utilization in social welfare.

Yusuke Kano, Chairman and President of Welmo, commented that the company aims to create new social value by linking its technology and expertise in the care sector with academic research.
