Collaboration Overview

Tech Doctor, led by CEO Kazushi Minato and headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, has partnered with Bell System 24, directed by President Hiroshi Kajiwara and based in Minato, Tokyo, to harness their healthcare data effectively. This partnership is poised to explore and analyze how weather changes, like atmospheric pressure and climate conditions, trigger health issues and impact the quality of life (QOL). By utilizing real-world data, the two companies aim to establish a robust foundation for accurately detecting early signs of health changes.

Background and Goals

The existing healthcare system faces a significant challenge: standard diagnosis and treatment processes only reflect a patient's condition at the time of the visit, without capturing longitudinal changes. Headaches, a common health problem, have many underlying causes, influenced by various lifestyle factors, including the environment and individual habits. Current gaps in data fail to provide a comprehensive view, limiting appropriate treatment strategies such as medication selection and lifestyle adjustments. This collaboration aims to resolve these issues by providing a more personalized and comprehensive healthcare service for patients.
