Nursing Care Support Service 'LifeLens' Launches 'Toilet Entry/Exit Detection' to Visualize Toilet Usage with Privacy-Conscious Edge AI

Panasonic Holdings Corporation (Panasonic HD) and Vieureka Co., Ltd. (Vieureka) have developed "Toilet Entry/Exit Detection," a new feature for the "LifeLens" nursing care support service, which visualizes toilet usage in resident rooms in real-time. The service will be available starting April 2026.

This feature is enabled by adding a "Toilet Entry/Exit Detection App (AI behavior analysis app)" to the Vieureka AI sensing cameras, which serve as the core system for LifeLens. Through pilot testing and early implementation at HITOWA Inc., the system achieved a detection rate of over 90% for toilet entries and exits. This feature is expected to improve the efficiency of night patrols and contribute to the provision of high-quality care.

By combining their respective technologies and services, Panasonic HD and Vieureka aim to create an environment where nursing staff can focus on essential care by using technology to supplement or replace manual patrol and monitoring tasks.

＜Key Features＞

1. Real-time visualization of toilet entries and exits

2. Privacy-conscious edge AI configuration

3. Detection method with reduced false positives and time lag
