Okuchy participated in the “Fuyu-Semi” (Winter Seminars) event at Tohoku University in Miyagi from February 5th to 6th. During the event, Okuchy conducted a unique workshop focused on increasing awareness of the correlation between sleep quality and oral strength. The emphasis was on illustrating how the integration of oral strength training, specifically our original in-mouth muscle training app, TAISO, can contribute to preventing sleep disorders at an early stage.
With enthusiastic participants, we garnered positive feedback through engaging discussions, particularly during an activity centered around three fundamental oral training exercises selected from the nine options available in our TAISO app (accessible on both the App Store and Google Play).
At the Okuchy workshop, we had a total of ten engaging participants, including students, academic researchers, university professors, and corporate HR representatives from a widely-known Japanese multinational electronics company.
During the event, we discussed with an academic researcher involved in nutrition education for residents at Kochi University. As we plan to visit Kochi Red Cross Hospital in March 2024 for further research and development on swallowing movement, the researcher extended an invitation for us to visit Kochi University for further discussions on sleep quality and muscular strength.
Okuchy’s vision of “your well-being is in your mouth,” encompassing breathing, eating, and speaking, is further accelerating its potential and market reach. Exciting new products and services await our customers around the globe.
