Background of asken's Involvement

Established in 2007, asken has been on a mission to enhance public health through technology. The company's flagship app, designed to assist users in managing their dietary habits effectively, has gained tremendous popularity, with over 12 million users. By integrating nutrition science with technology, asken aims to provide users with personalized dietary guidance to empower them in making healthier choices.
In light of the growing need for digital health solutions and the role they play in combating health disparities, asken joined JaDHA in March 2023 to contribute toward holistic industry advancement. The collaboration not only underlines asken's commitment to improving individual health outcomes but also ensures that digital health tools are accessible to everyone.

Conclusion

By participating in these landmark events, asken and JaDHA aim to share their vision of a healthier future empowered through technology. They invite attendees and stakeholders to engage in meaningful discussions about the future of healthcare in Japan, focusing on the integration of digital literacy to bridge health gaps across society. This initiative lays the groundwork for a more inclusive and responsive health system that showcases the transformative power of digital health technologies while promoting equitable access for all.

The dual presentation and exhibition will highlight the importance of the initiatives and facilitate discussions on increasing awareness towards digital health literacy. As asken continues its journey, it reinforces its commitment to improve people's health outcomes while adapting to the evolving landscape of healthcare in the digital age.
