The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), the international governing body for gymnastics worldwide Fujitsu Limited, and Acer Medical Inc., which provides AI-powered medical image processing and preventive medicine, announced a collaboration to develop a points-based health promoting insurance concept. The proposed service will feature a smartphone app, developed by Acer Medical, that uses AI to digitize FIG’s gymnastics program for seniors.
Through its Measures for Aging Society Working Group (ASWG), FIG aims to promote healthy aging by offering a gymnastics program for seniors aimed at preventing frailty in later life. In this collaboration, Acer Medical has developed a smartphone app that digitizes this program. The app utilizes aiGait powered by Uvance, a solution in development by Acer Medical that incorporates Fujitsu’s advanced skeleton recognition AI technology from its AI Technologies and Solutions offering, to serve as a reference for the early discovery of relevant diseases. Users perform exercises recommended by FIG’s ASWG and the app captures their movements with a camera, analyzing form as well as muscle strength and range of motion to evaluate whether exercises are performed correctly. Based on these assessments, the app proposes suitable exercise routines for each user.
The three parties will carry out a field trial from October 23 to October 24, 2025 at the 53rd Artistic Gymnastics World Championships in Jakarta where local seniors will be able to experience the app.
Furthermore, the three parties will develop a points-based health-promotion insurance concept. This proposed service will convert users’ exercise assessments from the app and participation in health check-ups into points, which can then be used for insurance premium discounts or other benefits. Participating insurance companies will be selected by the parties at a later date.
Through this initiative, FIG aims to promote the widespread adoption of gymnastics programs for seniors and accelerate its contribution to extending healthy life expectancies through sports, as envisioned by the ASWG. The initial target for this insurance service will be the estimated 30 million worldwide participants in FIG’s Gymnastics for All sports program. FIG will also contribute to the World Health Organization (WHO)’s Global Action Plan on the Public Health Response to Dementia.
Fujitsu will contribute to promoting the health of seniors through its advanced skeleton recognition AI technology. Furthermore, under its Uvance business model, which addresses societal challenges, Fujitsu will continue to co-create with Uvance Partners to realize advanced health management services through Decision Intelligence powered by data and AI, thereby advancing people’s well-being.
Acer Medical will enhance the abnormal gait pattern detection function in aiGait to meet the growing demand for preventive medicine and smart healthcare in aging societies. Acer Medical is transforming routine movements—like standing, sitting, and walking—into valuable clinical insights. The goal is to help caregivers and clinicians detect subtle changes early, enabling timely intervention and improving patient outcomes.
