Promoting Dementia Prevention Through Music Therapy
In an inspiring initiative to promote dementia prevention, Excing Inc., headquartered in Nagoya, Japan, has partnered with Eisai Co., Ltd., based in Tokyo. Starting from January 20, 2026, and running until March 19, 2026, they will provide limited-time access to innovative health care music therapy content known as "Kenko Okoku". This initiative involves the introduction of "Burepasize®", an exercise program tailored to stimulate the brain, along with a simple "Dementia Awareness Checklist" designed to help individuals assess changes in cognitive health.
What is Burepasize®?
Burepasize® is an engaging brain exercise program developed in collaboration with Dr. Hiroyuki Shimada, a specialist from the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, alongside sports trainers Kunihide Saito and Yu Suzuki. The program encourages participants to move their bodies to music while simultaneously engaging in cognitive tasks such as "rock-paper-scissors" and basic calculations, effectively providing a holistic approach to brain stimulation through physical activity.
Understanding the Dementia Awareness Checklist
Alongside Burepasize®, the "Dementia Awareness Checklist" serves as a useful tool for individuals to gauge their cognitive function and daily living activities. By answering a series of straightforward questions related to memory and social interaction, users can identify any minor changes in their cognitive abilities, facilitating timely consultation with healthcare providers when they sense something might be amiss.
Commitment to Supporting Care Facilities
This initiative marks just the beginning for Excing. The company is dedicated to ensuring that users of various facilities benefit from enjoyable and healthy experiences. Furthermore, Excing aims to provide enhanced support for the crucial workforce in the caregiving industry, acknowledging the need for professionals to thrive in a healthy work environment. This commitment extends beyond just providing exercises; it's about enhancing the overall quality of life for both caregivers and those they serve.
