Product research and development
From FRO launch to validated neuroadaptive experiences.
A staged roadmap to establish Persimmon Quest as a Japan-first nonprofit FRO, validate a tri-product neuroadaptive care ecosystem, and build useful aging-brain research infrastructure.
Raise ¥30M & Incorporate PQ FRO Lab
Secure catalytic launch capital to establish a Japan-based nonprofit Focused Research Organization, hire the first core team, and fund compliance, prototyping, and research operations.
FRO incorporated + first hiresBuild the Research-Grade MVP
Convert the proof-of-concept into a tri-product MVP across qBand Controller, qPad Oasis, and qCore Pillar for care-room validation.
Launch Nursing Home Pilots
Partner with Japanese elderly-care facilities to test repeated engagement workflows with residents, caregivers, and operators.
Facility workflow evidenceCreate the Longitudinal Research Layer
Collect privacy-preserving engagement, EEG/fNIRS, speech, and interaction signals to build a proprietary aging-brain dataset for Persimmon Quest Lab.
Train Proprietary Neuroadaptive Models
Use pilot data to develop ML algorithms for engagement detection, neurofeedback personalization, cognitive-state modeling, and caregiver-facing insights.
Proprietary ML modelsCollaborate With Global Neuroscience Labs
Work with computational neuroscience, neurofeedback, dementia research, and brain-modeling labs to improve model quality and cultural adaptation.
Research collaboration networkExplore AI-Guided Home Experiences
After appropriate research and validation, explore how nursing-home infrastructure could inform supervised neurofeedback experiences beyond care facilities.
Data layer that starts with us
Help us close the brain-data gap holding back aging research.
Persimmon Quest brings AI-enhanced hardware into nursing homes, transforming everyday interactions into structured signals that help caregivers personalize engagement and researchers better understand lifelong brain wellness.
