Leifras Partners with PST to Use VOISLOG

LEIFRAS, a sports and social business company, has partnered with PST, a developer of voice biomarker technologies, to integrate PST's voice analysis platform, VOISLOG into its nationwide sports instruction platform.

VOISLOG analyzes voice characteristics to visualize changes in an individual's physical and mental condition, offering a potential tool for well-being support. Under this initiative, Leifras plans to first introduce VOISLOG to its employees to help them recognize day-to-day changes in their condition and support self-care and early support. Based on the operational knowledge gained through this process, Leifras will also consider potential future use of VOISLOG by approximately 70,688 members across more than 4,500 sports schools operated by the company in all 47 prefectures of Japan.

By combining the LEIFRAS's nationwide sports instruction platform with PST's technology, which detects changes in condition from short voice samples, Leifras aims to integrate new technology into sports instruction and create new sports experiences and business models

Leifras plans to begin by having employees and instructors use VOISLOG® as a self-care tool to help them recognize changes in their day-to-day condition. Based on the operational knowledge gained, the Company will consider expanding its use to managers, human resources and labor functions, and headquarters functions, including potential applications in human capital management and field operations

Leveraging the operational knowledge accumulated internally, the company will consider the potential future use of VOISLOG by approximately 70,688 sports school members nationwide. Leifras aims to create new customer experiences arising from the combination of sports, voice and data, including environments in which children can recognize changes in their own condition and participate in sports with greater peace of mind.

Leveraging its networks in sports, education, and local government, Leifras plans to explore potential new services and business opportunities with VOISLOG delivering new sports and well-being services not only to its own members, but also to children throughout Japan and, potentially, internationally.

PST's technology primarily analyzes the quality of voice before spoken content is interpreted to capture voice characteristics associated with changes in physical and mental condition. This enables changes in condition to be visualized regardless of the language or the content of speech.

VOISLOG also supports integration with external systems through Web APIs in addition to its application interface and is designed as a platform that can support future service expansion.
