PITTAN and H2O Retailing's Innovative Collaboration

In an exciting development for health and wellness, PITTAN, based in Kobe, Japan, has announced a partnership with H2O Retailing, headquartered in Osaka. This collaboration is centered around a new health initiative called "Machiken," which is set to launch in May 2025. Central to this partnership is PITTAN's cutting-edge sweat analysis machine, Pitagoras, designed to meet the growing demand for personalized health monitoring.

Introducing "Machiken" and the Role of Pitagoras

The "Machiken" service aims to seamlessly integrate health awareness into daily life. It encourages individuals to adopt healthier habits and promotes preventive care. As a framework, it focuses on making health checks enjoyable and accessible—essentially allowing people to learn about their health while going about their daily activities. This initiative aligns perfectly with H2O Retailing's strengths, which include numerous commercial facilities and stores across the Kansai region, making health checks both convenient and integrated into everyday routines.

Pittagoras plays a pivotal role in this venture. Despite its compact design—measuring just 18 cm on each side—this small machine can analyze the body's condition using just a minute amount of sweat. The key feature of Pitagoras lies in its capacity for quick and precise analysis, offering results in a mere 10 minutes without any invasiveness, thus eliminating the need for specialized knowledge or professional operation.

The Advantages of Sweat Analysis

Sweat analysis presents a significant step forward in non-invasive health monitoring. Unlike traditional methods such as blood or urine tests, this technique is painless, alleviating psychological burdens and negating infection risks, a factor recognized by entities such as the Japanese Ministry of Health and the CDC in the United States. By simply using a sweat patch, individuals can gather sufficient samples without discomfort. Moreover, Pitagoras's user-friendly interface guides users through the process seamlessly, making it an accessible option for everyone.

Upcoming Health Check Event

To kick off the implementation of "Machiken," a health check event will be held from May 26 to 31, 2025. This event, hosted in collaboration with Kawanishi Hankyu Square, will take place at the Ast Kawanisi on the first floor and will feature health assessments using seven different testing devices, including the Pitagoras machine. Visitors will have the chance to experience skin analysis services, along with various health checks tailored to their needs.

Event Details:

• - Title: Health Check Event "Machiken"
• - Date: May 26 - 31, 2025 (Daily from 10 AM to 6 PM)
• - Location: Ast Kawanishi 1F, Pipu Square
• - Participation Fee: Free (for individuals aged 18 and over; no reservations required)
• - Features: Participants can check their health status using different measurement tools. By taking part and providing feedback, attendees will also receive a 500 yen coupon valid at Kawanishi Hankyu Square.

Future Prospects

Following the event, PITTAN and H2O Retailing plan to assess findings and explore further service expansions. Potential developments include additional testing locations, an increase in health assessment parameters, and even an application that allows users to accumulate points for healthy behaviors.

PITTAN's vision is to enhance community well-being by making advanced health analysis technology accessible to more individuals, supporting the idea of integrating health checks into everyday life.

CEO Kazunari Tsujimoto's Remarks

Kazunari Tsujimoto, CEO of PITTAN, expressed enthusiasm for this partnership, emphasizing that Pitagoras fulfills their mission of democratizing health analysis. The collaboration enhances the user-centric approach of both companies, aiming to empower individuals to take charge of their health in a friendly manner.
