IoT Rice Cooker
The everyday act of “cooking rice” brings peace of mind to families living apart. An IoT Rice Cooker that blends naturally into daily life, allowing you to gently monitor your loved ones by noticing subtle changes through their daily meal rhythms.
Development Background: Anxiety for Parents Living Apart and Communication Barriers
With the increase in single-person households due to the aging population, the “safety of family members living apart” has become a major social issue. According to our survey (*1), it was found that while many people wish to “see their parents at least once a month,” more than half actually “contact them once a month or less.” Common dilemmas include, “I want to stay in touch frequently, but it’s difficult because we both have our own busy lives,” and “Systems like surveillance cameras are mutually hard to introduce from a privacy perspective.” To solve these challenges, there was a strong need for a new form of gentle monitoring that seamlessly blends into daily life and connects families naturally.

Solution to the Issue: “Effortless” Monitoring via the IoT Rice Cooker
We convert the unchanging daily habit of “cooking rice” directly into caring monitoring data. Just by using the rice cooker, the time the rice was cooked and the keep warm status are automatically notified to the family. Without imposing any physical burden of learning how to operate new devices or the psychological resistance often associated with surveillance cameras on the elderly, it provides the “peace of mind that they are eating every day” and an opportunity to notice changes in their well-being through the “visualization of meal rhythms.”

Product Features
- Automatic Sensing Blending into Daily Life: Just by cooking rice as usual, rice cooking data is automatically sent to the cloud. No special operations are required by the person being monitored.
- Integration via the Official “TIGER HOME” App: In addition to checking the rice cooking status, it also supports “Automatic Reordering” (integration with Amazon, etc.), which automatically places an order when the remaining rice runs low, perfectly balancing daily convenience with gentle monitoring.
- Authentic Rice Cooking Performance (Far-infrared 5 layer heat sealing ceramic coated inner pot): Because it boasts the high fundamental performance of a premium cooking appliance designed to “cook delicious rice every day,” it ensures effortless, continuous use—which naturally leads to uninterrupted, reliable monitoring.

Collaboration: About Integration with the EDION App
We have successfully linked Tiger Corporation’s IoT data with the official app of EDION Corporation. This allows customers to easily check the “rice cooking status of family members living apart” directly within the familiar EDION app they already use. By combining our hardware (IoT Rice Cooker) with EDION’s powerful customer touchpoints (app and store support), we are co-creating a new experience: a “continuous monitoring service” that goes far beyond the mere “selling of goods.”
