Manage 'Cognitive Care' under the Revised Labor Health and Safety Act: Beta Release of Management Dashboard for CogEvo Assessment Results

Legal Background: From 'Awareness' to 'Organizational Management'

On April 1, 2026, the revised Labor Health and Safety Act (Reiwa 7 Act No. 33) came into effect. Under the newly established Article 62-2, employers are now voluntarily obligated to implement measures such as improving work environments and managing tasks to accommodate the characteristics of aging workers.

The previous 'Age-Friendly Guidelines' were abolished at the end of March 2026 and upgraded to the 'Guidelines for the Prevention of Occupational Accidents among Elderly Workers' (promulgated February 10, 2026). These guidelines explicitly specify the decline in 'cognitive function' as a characteristic that employers must account for.

While this is a voluntary effort, records of such measures could become decisive evidence in determining civil liability in the event of an industrial accident, making it vital for companies to be able to explain their actions as an organization.

Workplace Reality: Lack of Practical Solutions

Most companies currently lack effective tools to assess cognitive characteristics for work-related purposes. Existing medical tests, such as MMSE, are designed for diagnosing dementia and are often considered unsuitable for daily workplace environments.

The CogEvo Solution

'CogEvo' is a brain fitness trainer that quantifies five cognitive characteristics—spatial awareness, orientation, memory, planning, and attention—in approximately 4-6 minutes using smartphones or other devices. This supports the seamless process of 'Assessing -> Identifying Risks -> Implementing Care.'

New Feature: Management Dashboard 'CogSafe (tentative)'

Total Brain Care has beta-released a management dashboard that aggregates individual CogEvo assessment results at an organizational level and visualizes the status of implemented safety measures.

- Assessing cognitive characteristics across the entire organization. - Visualizing business-related risks. - Recording and managing the status of implemented safety measures.
