QOLead and Well-i Sign Business Alliance Agreement in Health and Productivity Management and Data Health

Well-i (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Noriteru Hayashi) and QOLead (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Takehiko Eguchi) have entered into a business alliance agreement for the support of health and productivity management and data health for companies and health insurance unions.

Background and Purpose of the Alliance

Companies are increasingly required to identify employee health issues and implement effective measures linked to management strategies from the perspective of health and productivity management and human capital management. Similarly, health insurance unions are under growing pressure to establish systems for continuous execution and improvement of measures, based on data-driven planning, to balance the health promotion of union members with the optimization of medical expenses.

However, in the field of health and productivity management and health services, a common challenge for both companies and health insurance unions is that even when tools or measures are introduced, they often fail to lead to results due to insufficient implementation planning, inadequate data usage, or lack of concrete measures.

QOLead has been supporting health promotion initiatives through its health promotion app, 'QOLism'. By partnering with Well-i, a specialized consulting firm focused on health and productivity management and data health, this alliance will build a system that supports everything from planning to execution and improvement, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and continuity of health measures and health projects.

Alliance Details and Well-i's Role

In this alliance, Well-i, as a specialized consultant in the field of health and productivity management and data health, will provide the following support:

- Consulting for system adaptation and operation regarding health and productivity management and data health. - Analysis of health data and issue identification. - Formulation of implementation plans and planning/proposal of measures tailored to issues. - Hands-on support for involving relevant stakeholders and building promotion systems for measure execution.

Through these efforts, Well-i will provide support that goes beyond tool or measure introduction, enabling companies and health insurance unions to entrench health measures in a self-sustaining manner and lead to outcome generation.

Future Outlook

Going forward, the companies will sequentially expand support based on this alliance, primarily for companies and health insurance unions that have already introduced or are considering introducing QOLism. Furthermore, they aim to accumulate the insights gained through these efforts as model cases for the advancement of health and productivity management and health projects, aiming for initiatives that can serve as a reference for many more companies and health insurance unions.

Significance and Expectations of the Alliance from the Perspective of Health and Productivity Management

An Alliance Expected to Strengthen the 'Human' Health Foundation and Enhance Corporate Value Kunio Okada, Chairman, Health and Productivity Management Research Organization (NPO)

In today's diversifying society, health problems of people working in companies are also diversifying. Their resolution requires sufficient consideration of individual characteristics. To solve the diverse problems in the workplace, it is essential to have human resources with broad or specialized knowledge.

This alliance is expected to enhance engagement by more accurately resolving the diverse health problems of people working in companies, and by solving them one by one, it is expected to improve organizational resilience, which will also lead to corporate value creation. Just as 'Collaborative Health' promotes more efficient health promotion through cooperation between companies and health insurance unions, having many experts use their wisdom and experience to produce optimal solutions will accelerate corporate growth. We look forward to this alliance, which will strengthen the foundation for building 'human' health, thereby encouraging corporate growth and further developing society.

Comments from Stakeholders

<Comment from Takehiko Eguchi, President of QOLead>

As a member of the Dai-ichi Life Group, we have been working to solve diverse social issues in the health and medical fields to support everyone's happiness. Our mission is to achieve 'physical,' 'mental,' and 'social' well-being, which can be said to be the premise of happiness, and to deliver value unique to our company. So far, aiming to extend health life expectancy and improve QOL (Quality of Life), we have co-created healthcare apps that support health promotion with insurance companies. In addition, through the healthcare platform 'QOLism,' we support the data health plans of health insurance unions and the promotion of health and productivity management in companies, contributing to solving social issues and supporting the realization of well-being for union members, employees, and their families.

Through the partnership with Well-i, a specialized consulting firm focused on the field of health and productivity management and data health, we will utilize QOLism to support health projects in companies and health insurance unions in a more highly effective manner, going beyond simple app introduction.
