Recently communication within the nuclear family is slowly decreasing due to changes in lifestyles and values in Japan. While there are many ways to approach this issue, one business has found a way not only to help but profit from this growing concern.

Hometech, a company based in Fukuoka recently introduced a device that monitors how each family member spends time within the house for a week. Multiple receivers collect this data from transmitters that are placed on each family member wrists. This data is analyzed and summed up on a computer for those at Hometech to see and suggest a home improvement solution that will not only fit the family’s lifestyle but improve it.

For example the data may find that the father and son might be in the house at similar times but may spend time in different rooms. In response to this data, Hometech may suggest a space for a computer in the living room which will increase chances for father and son for communication.
