Tellme's original business was operating hair salons. Over years of observing changes in their clientele, and as a service for customers who could no longer visit the salon due to illness or aging, the company developed a technology to assess the risk of glycation (a measure of aging) through hair analysis. This technology is currently being promoted as a diabetes screening technology. After being featured at the World Expo, it gained significant attention from overseas countries and institutions for its ability to assess risk without the need for blood sampling. In Japan, the technology is also seen as contributing to behavioral change among the segment of the population indifferent to their own health (kenko mukanshinsō) within local municipalities. Tellme is now pursuing the commercialization of this service as a means of optimizing social security costs.
