FRONTEO Expands Reach of “Brain Health Score” Through Local Government Partnerships; Offers Hands-On Experience with “TalkLab KIBIT” in Gamagori City

This initiative was conducted with a view to expanding the “TalkLab KIBIT” business through partnerships with local governments, with the aim of assessing its potential for use in municipal health initiatives and exploring opportunities for collaboration with a range of organizations.

*The “Brain Health Score” in TalkLab KIBIT is a score generated by AI that analyzes contextual connections and lexical diversity during conversation, providing a comprehensive indicator of memory, language comprehension, and information processing abilities. It is not a medical device and is not intended for the diagnosis of any disease or medical condition.

At the event, FRONTEO set up a demonstration and assessment booth featuring “TalkLab KIBIT,” where attendees were able to measure their “Brain Health Score” through natural conversations with AI using smartphones.

Participants shared comments such as:

“Conversations with the AI feel natural, and it’s easy to use. It’s great to be able to check my ‘brain health’ so easily.”

“I really got a sense of how amazing and fun the AI is. I’m very interested in my ‘brain health,’ so I’d like to measure it regularly.”

* These are excerpts from feedback from participants who enjoyed the event, based on the results of a survey conducted on the day.

About TalkLab KIBIT  https://talklab-kibit.com

“TalkLab KIBIT” utilizes the natural language processing technology of “KIBIT,” an AI developed in-house by FRONTEO, to analyze the relationships and characteristics of words and sentences within natural conversations and present the results of these analyses. In addition, based on these results, it provides users with messages designed to encourage behavioral changes and information that can lead to healthier lifestyle habits.

“TalkLab KIBIT” is readily accessible on smartphones without the need to download an app, and provides instant results through conversations with AI. The service was launched in October 2025 and has already been adopted by Nippon Life*1; it is also scheduled to be implemented at Asahi Life starting in April 2026*2.
