Eucalia and Hedgehog MedTech Introduce Comprehensive Headache Consultation Service

Eucalia Inc. (headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo) is excited to announce a new partnership with Hedgehog MedTech (based in Bunkyo, Tokyo) to launch the "Smart Headache Consultation powered by Hedgehog MedTech". This service will start on December 1st, aiming to provide essential online headache consultations to consumers through the Smart Dock health screening platform.

"Smart Dock" has become increasingly recognized for its Smart Brain Dock, a service where roughly 30% of users report issues related to headaches (as of 2024). Headaches are categorized into two primary types: "primary headaches" like migraines, and "secondary headaches" that arise from underlying medical conditions. Previously, Smart Brain Dock primarily focused on identifying brain diseases that could lead to secondary headache, while Hedgehog MedTech, known for their innovative headache-focused applications, specializes in evaluating primary headaches.

This collaboration allows Eucalia to provide support for both types of headaches, enhancing the overall service offered through Smart Dock with a tailored online consultation service. Eucalia aims to expand its services further in response to the diverse needs concerning headaches, ensuring they support clients more comprehensively.

Understanding Smart Dock

“Smart Dock” operates as a sharing economy model that optimally utilizes downtime from medical institutions’ MRI and CT machines. It allows consumers nationwide to receive screenings efficiently and affordably. The flagship service, Smart Brain Dock, identifies silent brain anomalies such as aneurysms, strokes, and tumors through advanced MRI and MRA tests.

With the ability to book appointments and register preliminary questionnaires online, clients can receive results conveniently via PC or smartphone, minimizing their time spent at the facility to just 30 minutes from check-in to departure. The imaging results are reviewed rigorously by both radiology specialists and neurosurgeons, ensuring a double-check system for accuracy. Should any abnormalities be detected, specialized medical institutions are referred for further assistance.

At an accessible price of 24,750 yen (including tax), Smart Dock boasts a remarkable record of 168,000 screenings completed by December 2025, with 292 medical facilities utilizing the service.
