TalkLab KIBIT: A Web Application for Brain Health Self-Assessment

TalkLab KIBIT is a web application designed to help you casually check in with your "brain wellness" through conversation with AI as part of your daily routine. It can be accessed from your own smartphone, with no need to download a dedicated app or use any special equipment. Your conversation summary is displayed within just a few minutes, making it an effortless tool that fits naturally into everyday life.

TalkLab KIBIT does not provide medical diagnosis, medical advice, or treatment recommendations (nor is it intended to do so). As interest grows in accessible, easy-to-continue wellness management solutions amid a rapidly aging society, TalkLab KIBIT has been designed as a self-check tool that aims to help users reflect on their own condition, raise awareness of their health, and reconsider their lifestyle habits.

TalkLab KIBIT has been designed with a focus on being easy to continue using as part of daily life. Users can review their brain wellness reference simply by having a conversation with AI on their smartphone for about five to ten minutes. No special equipment or complicated procedures are required — it can be used anytime, anywhere, on your own, whenever you feel like it.

In addition, the experience involves less pressure than a formal test, and your conversation summary can be viewed on the spot — a distinctive value of this service. It is designed to help create opportunities for users to reflect on day-to-day changes and to encourage greater health awareness and a review of lifestyle habits.

 

 

TalkLab KIBIT leverages the natural language processing technology of "KIBIT," a equation-driven AI developed by FRONTEO. It analyzes the relationships between words and sentences within a conversation, as well as the diversity of vocabulary used, and presents the output in an easy-to-understand format as a brain wellness reference. While underpinned by specialized technology, the experience for users is distilled down to simply "talking" — an approach that exemplifies the DX-driven nature of this initiative.

 

 

Currently, TalkLab KIBIT is being utilized through collaborations with insurance companies. However, its potential extends far beyond that. As a tool designed to help people reflect on their own condition and raise health awareness in the course of everyday life, it is expected to find applications in a wide range of settings. By combining the familiar act of conversation with AI-powered analysis, TalkLab KIBIT aims to make wellness management more natural and sustainable. It is an initiative that seeks to bring this new kind of experience to society. SHIONOGI will continue to pursue the creation of value that contributes to behavioral change and improved quality of life through digital technology.
