Milennia to Exhibit at Annual Preventive Medicine Conference

Milennia Corporation, part of the Sento Care Group and based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is set to participate in the upcoming 67th Annual Conference on Preventive Medicine in Japan. Scheduled for September 4-5, 2026, at the historic Kumamoto Castle Hall, this event focuses on advancements in health checks and preventive medicine. At the conference, Milennia will proudly showcase its innovative cognitive function assessment tool, A Health Check for the Mind®, designed to provide comprehensive evaluations of cognitive health across diverse populations.

Conference Details

The conference will be held from September 4-5, 2026, at Kumamoto Castle Hall, located in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City. The conference is organized by Professor Minoru Yoshida, Director of the Kumamoto Health Management Center of the Japanese Red Cross. Attendees are invited to visit Milennia at booth 1F-66, conveniently located near the entrance of the hall.

Milennia's booth will feature the A Health Check for the Mind® scale, one of Japan's earliest and most respected cognitive assessment tools, launched in 2006. This scale allows for the longitudinal observation of cognitive function in various demographics, particularly focusing on individuals under 65 years of age, who previously faced challenges in cognitive assessments. This innovative tool is widely employed across hospitals, research institutions, municipalities, and corporations throughout Japan.

Applications of the Cognitive Function Scale

• - Brain Check: As stipulated by the guidelines published by the Japan Brain Check Society, cognitive function evaluations have become essential in brain checkups. The scale's reliability and the positive feedback from users have led to its adoption across numerous health check facilities nationwide.

• - Occupational Health Checkups: Corporations employing individuals over 60 use this scale as a preventative measure to avoid health-related accidents and to extend the working lives of their employees, supported by the Japan Truck Association's manuals on accident prevention.

• - Memory Loss Screening: Many local governments collaborate with medical associations to promote early detection and response to cognitive decline, establishing this cognitive health scale as a common metric within community initiatives.

Support for Dementia-Related Business

Milennia remains committed to supporting comprehensive dementia-related initiatives. Along with helping health check facilities implement cognitive evaluations, the company collaborates with municipalities and medical associations to tailor programs to suit local needs. These efforts promote awareness and opportunities for preventive interventions concerning cognitive health.

As pioneers in private cognitive evaluation services, Milennia draws on extensive experience and knowledge to contribute to community-building efforts that emphasize health awareness, early detection, and proactive strategies to mitigate the risks associated with dementia. The company aims to foster a society in which individuals living with dementia can maintain their dignity and live freely.
