New Features Launch to Streamline Re-Examination Process and Improve Health Checkup Rates

Introduction

In a bid to enhance the efficiency of health examinations and to support human resource management, MY MEDICA, a subsidiary of Yamato Holdings, has announced a groundbreaking feature. Starting March 23, 2026, the new feature will enable automatic determination of re-examinations, leading to online consultations, all completed through a mobile application. This innovative service aims to alleviate the burdens faced by HR personnel while improving the re-examination rates among employees.

The Challenge for HR Personnel

Typically, HR representatives face a cumbersome process once they distribute health checkup results to employees. The time-consuming tasks include data entry of health examination outcomes, extraction of individuals requiring re-examinations, patient outreach, and progress monitoring; these procedures can drag on for months. This chronic delay affects the likelihood of employees responding to health recommendations, ultimately leading to a lower rate of necessary follow-up examinations.

Key Features of the New Functionality

The new service introduced by MY MEDICA focuses on streamlining and automating these processes:

1. Automatic Determination for Re-examination:
By simply inputting vital health statistics like blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid levels into the app, employees allow for an automatic assessment of whether a re-examination is necessary. If needed, the app facilitates online consultations, enabling timely interventions.

2. Automated Notification System:
The application features a smart notification system that reminds employees to input their health check results and encourages them to respond to any identified health concerns based on their conditions. This targeted communication plays a crucial role in engaging employees and fostering proactive health management.

3. Comprehensive Management Dashboard:
The administrative interface enables HR personnel to monitor staff health check progress, allowing easy tracking of who has submitted their results and whether subsequent re-examinations have taken place. This oversight is not limited to the head office; site-level managers can also access the information, allowing for a holistic approach to health management within the workplace.

Addressing the Problem

Research has shown that the delay between the delivery of health check results and the subsequent follow-up for re-examinations tends to lead to diminishing response rates. My Medica’s previous engagements revealed that companies often took anywhere from several weeks to over six months to engage employees for follow-ups, revealing significant room for improvement. A feedback loop from businesses noted that the data processing and management of health examination results often consumed excessive time, creating a bottleneck. This echoed a clear need for a more efficient solution.

Conclusion

By addressing these pressing issues, MY MEDICA’s new feature is poised to alleviate administrative burdens on HR staff, while simultaneously improving overall employee health outcomes. Leveraging automated processes and mobile accessibility, the company is paving the way forward for a healthier workforce. With pending patents establishing its unique operational framework, MY MEDICA is set to revolutionize the way health screenings and re-examinations are handled in corporate environments.
