GENETEC CORPORATION announced that cumulative downloads of Kokodayo, a disaster location-sharing app it develops and operates, surpassed 2 million in September 2026.
The app was launched in September 2015 and automatically notifies users of the location of preregistered members in conjunction with Earthquake Early Warnings. It has been valued for helping families confirm the whereabouts and safety of their members during disasters, when making phone calls or sending emails can be difficult.
As a functional enhancement, support for direct satellite-to-smartphone communications services from Japan’s 3 major mobile network operators was completed by June 2026. In March 2026, the company also launched Kokodayo Life, which integrates disaster preparedness, crime prevention and monitoring functions based on patented technology. A total of 37 patents have been acquired in Japan and overseas for these core technologies.
Going forward, the company plans to expand the functions of Kokodayo and Kokodayo Life, while also pursuing overseas expansion and providing services for corporations and local governments.
