About introduction at Fukurou Clinic

"kikippa" is a speaker that processes and outputs "gamma wave sound" with 40Hz modulation using a unique algorithm for audio from TVs and other devices. As a result, the elderly can naturally hear 40Hz modulated sound*1 in their daily lives seamlessly. As an effort to experience and utilize this "gamma wave sound" at "Fukurou Clinic Todoroki" and "Fukurou Clinic Jiyugaoka", which implement their own dementia prevention program with a wide range of approaches without relying on drugs, we have started the introduction of “kikippa” in various places and brain health classrooms.

Fukurou Clinic Todoroki, Fukurou Clinic Jiyugaoka... As an expert in dementia, cancer, frailty, intractable diseases, and medical care for the disabled, he provides a wide range of support for home medical care for the elderly. In the outpatient clinic of Fukurou Clinic Jiyugaoka, we are taking a wide-ranging approach that does not rely on drugs alone for the prevention of dementia, which is the cause for needing nursing care.

* 1 "40Hz modulated sound" refers to a sound processed by amplitude modulation using a periodic function such as a 40Hz sine wave.
