New Era of Cognitive Health Checks at Eiju Center
The Eiju General Health Check and Preventive Medicine Center, located in Taito, Tokyo, has announced a significant enhancement in its brain dock examination offerings. Beginning in the fiscal year 2026, the center will offer the 'Head Health Check®'—developed by Millennia Corporation, a subsidiary of Sento Care Holdings—as a standard testing item in its brain examination program.
