Healthcare Technologies Corp., a SoftBank subsidiary focused on promoting human health through data, is providing its 24/7 medical consultation app 'HELPO' and hands-on health management support to Yamada Holdings.
Yamada Holdings, which operates numerous stores nationwide, has a workforce with diverse employment and work styles. To accommodate these operational characteristics, HELPO has been introduced as part of efforts to create an environment where employees can easily seek health and medical advice regardless of time or location.
Through the hands-on health management support service, Healthcare Technologies' customer success team will support Yamada Holdings in promoting health initiatives tailored to their specific corporate challenges and employee demographics.
Background According to data from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the implementation rate for specific health guidance is only 27.6%, highlighting the growing importance of follow-up care after annual health checkups and support for behavioral change. Furthermore, there is a pointed need to establish environments where employees can seek health advice without being restricted by time or location.
In the retail industry, in particular, implementing and maintaining health support measures is relatively difficult due to varying store environments and diverse employee compositions. By introducing HELPO and the support service, Yamada Holdings aims to implement health management that adapts to their multi-site, diverse working environment.
'Hands-on health management support' is a service that reduces administrative burdens and promotes proactive health behaviors by continuously performing awareness design during introduction and offering improvement proposals based on usage data.
'HELPO' is a healthcare app that allows users to consult with doctors, nurses, and pharmacists 24/7 and also features online consultation capabilities.
