The company's service "commmune" provides a community environment to improve user engagement for companies that provide services using SaaS and subscription models with the goal of reducing churn rates. By usingthe service, companies can centrally communicate their information and interact with users.

Set incentives according to conditions, such as giving a certain point when a core user posts useful information to other users, or giving a certain point when a light user shares information It is possible to create an environment in which PDCA can be rotated at a high speed by activating communication between companies and users and analyzing them alone or in conjunction with MA tools and CRM tools.
  • Imaginostics — Our technology, QUTE-CE MRI (pronounced “cute-see”), quantifies vascular structure, function, and leakage anywhere in the body. This breakthrough heralds a new understanding of the vascular pathophysiology of disease while providing clinical scientists new tools for drug development and evaluation of therapeutics. After raising an initial $1M seedround and validating its technology in pre-clinical trials, Imaginostics now seeks to raise $3M to conduct clinical trials at Massachusetts General Hospital and begin commercialization. Despite more than 40M MRI scans performed each year in the US, 70% of cancers are detected late and no neurodegenerative disease is detected early. Conventional gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) MRI scans lack the quantitative precision necessary for measuring biomarkers that can predict future onset of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other forms of cognitive impairment. In preclinical studies, our patented biomarkers were able to map blood-brain barrier leakage due to mild head impact using less than half the number of subjects required by conventional DCE-MRI, with a significant improvement in the clustering of the control and experimental groups into non-overlapping segments seen in the results.
