In April 2026, LEBER Inc. launched "Itsu demo Doctor," a remote medical consultation service, for all households in Kawakami Village, Nagano Prefecture. The initiative aims to improve medical access and alleviate health concerns for residents in the mountainous area.
Overview
In April 2026, LEBER Inc. began offering its remote medical consultation service, "Itsu demo Doctor" (LEBER), to all households in Kawakami Village, Minamisaku District, Nagano Prefecture. This initiative aims to establish an environment where villagers can consult with doctors at any time, addressing challenges related to medical access during nights and holidays.
Background
Kawakami Village is located in a mountainous region. While it has a municipal clinic, there are limitations regarding the types of conditions it can handle and its operating hours. Access to primary emergency care requires a one-hour trip, making it difficult to seek medical attention during nights or emergencies. By introducing "Itsu demo Doctor," the village secures a pre-consultation point of contact to resolve anxieties and promote appropriate medical use.
Key Features
- 24/7 medical consultation available regardless of weekends, holidays, or late hours
- Support for determining whether an immediate hospital visit is necessary
- Guidance on home care and suitable over-the-counter medications
- Covers a wide range of departments including Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Obstetrics/Gynecology
