Kokoromil x Hijikata Pharmacy Event

Mark your calendars! On August 31, 2025, from 14:00 to 19:00, Kokoromil Inc. is collaborating with Hijikata Pharmacy to host an engaging health check experience aimed at enhancing preventive medicine awareness in the community. This marks the third event in a series that started in 2024, designed to foster local healthcare initiatives through interactive experiences.

Background and Previous Successes

In previous events, participants showed great interest in the health risk assessments conducted, particularly highlighting the need for accessible preventive healthcare solutions. Attendees learned about their health status through the innovative “Home Heart Dock®” series, which helped to visualize potential cardiovascular risks. Results revealed significant findings among participants, with issues such as arrhythmia being detected in 50% of cases, and a concerning 75% showing signs of stress.

Expansion of the Event

Building on the positive feedback received, this event will see participation from four additional pharmacies in the vicinity, making this a larger community-centric initiative. The focus on preventive measures is critical, as it aims to address overlooked risks associated with cardiovascular diseases and sudden death, promoting change from within the urban community.

Event Highlights

Health Assessment Activities

• - Home Heart Dock®: Utilizing wearable electrocardiograms, participants can measure their heart rhythms for extended periods, detecting potential arrhythmia, sleep apnea, and stress indicators.
• - Blood Flow Measurement: Visualize the condition of blood vessels to assess circulation health.

The event will also feature individualized counseling from Hijikata Pharmacy's expert staff, providing insights into participants' results and suggestions for lifestyle modifications to improve health outcomes. The success of past events shows that this personalized approach resonates deeply with the community, making healthcare accessible and comprehensible.

Addressing Healthcare Disparities

In urban settings, barriers to preventive healthcare can stem from busy lifestyles, elderly individuals living alone, and psychological pressures associated with seeking medical assistance. This initiative, rooted in local pharmacies, bridges the gap between everyday life and healthcare access. It offers individuals the chance to engage with medical professionals in a familiar environment, thereby improving health literacy in urban dwellers.

The risks associated with heart disease often go unnoticed, as conventional health checkups may miss critical signs due to time constraints. Events like this serve as a crucial opportunity to identify potential health issues that might otherwise remain undetected. By working collaboratively with local pharmacies, Kokoromil aims to develop new health infrastructures that cater to those who may neglect regular checkups.

Future Aspirations

Kokoromil strives to enhance preventive healthcare by cultivating responsive health initiatives within local communities and addressing the needs of those reluctant to seek traditional medical care. By continuously improving services based on community feedback, the goal is to build a society where individuals do not have to face health regrets due to late diagnoses.
