ReBONE∞DAY: A Landmark for Bone Health Awareness

On August 8, a new commemorative date will be established in Japan: ReBONE∞DAY. This initiative aims to enlighten the public about bone health, transforming knowledge into tangible actions that promote a healthier society. The day has been officially recognized by the Japan Anniversary Association, thanks to efforts led by Veeenus Co., Ltd. and its ReBONE∞ Platform executive committee.

ReBONE∞DAY serves as a reminder for individuals to understand their bone health, encouraging fun and educational engagement with health concepts related to life, body, and well-being. The overarching goal is to transform bone health into a personal responsibility, promoting sustainable health behaviors throughout the community.

Why Now?

In Japan's rapidly aging society, the prevention of osteoporosis and the extension of healthy life expectancy are pressing societal issues. Osteoporosis is often asymptomatic until a fracture occurs, leaving many unaware of their condition until it is too late. Therefore, simply providing information isn't enough to encourage individuals to seek testing, consult professionals, or improve their lifestyles.

ReBONE∞DAY addresses this challenge by promoting a holistic approach that moves beyond mere awareness. It emphasizes a cycle of awareness and action—understanding, measuring, recognizing, acting, maintaining, and sharing. The initiative aims to cultivate a new bone health culture that is sustainable and community-oriented.

Academic Foundations

Under the leadership of Venus Honda, co-CEO of Veeenus, a dedicated research team has spent nearly eight years working on bone health studies, collaborating with universities, local governments, healthcare institutions, and private enterprises. Their efforts have led to pressing advancements in social implementation efforts, yielding data that highlights the importance of bone density and overall health outcomes.

Noteworthy accomplishments include:

• - Conducting approximately 1,200 bone density measurements nationwide.
• - Supporting the usage of over 10,000 pieces of bone-related data as part of health initiatives in Toshima City.
• - Implementing 372 trials related to lifestyle habits for the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo in 2025.

Through these efforts, the ReBONE∞DAY initiative stems from a desire to elevate health literacy and encourage ongoing change—an embodiment of the campaign’s motto, "From Bones, Life Blossoms."

The Significance of August 8

The theme of ReBONE∞DAY is "Measure, Know, Communicate." It embodies the aspiration that understanding bone health will enrich individual lives and pass that knowledge forward to future generations. The chosen date, August 8, resembles the infinity symbol when viewed sideways, symbolizing the continuous legacy of healthy living and education related to life and bones.

Introducing the Official Ambassador: Flabone

ReBONE∞DAY has appointed Flabone as its official ambassador. Flabone aims to bring the message of bone health closer to the public, making it enjoyable and relatable through various outreach efforts, such as events and social media.

Upcoming Events and Future Endeavors

To celebrate the establishment of ReBONE∞DAY, a children-focused health event entitled “Toshima District My Maintenance Lab x ReBONE∞ Festival” will occur on August 8, 2026. This event invites participants of all ages to engage in learning experiences surrounding health and lifestyle assessment, centered on the motto “Let’s Measure! Let’s Learn! Let’s Have Fun!” Activities will include bone density measurements and workshops to foster a growing culture of bone health.

Long-Term Vision

As part of their ongoing efforts, Veeenus aims to collaborate with various stakeholders—municipalities, schools, and healthcare providers—to implement this new culture of bone health within communities. Future plans include:

• - Expanding the ReBONE∞ festival nationwide.
• - Creating opportunities for measurement and education in collaboration with local governments.
• - Developing technology to diagnose bone types.
• - Providing educational content for schools and businesses.

Through these initiatives, the hope is to inspire individuals to gain an understanding of their bodies, take enjoyable actions toward health, and share these insights within their communities.
