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.

By introducing HELPO and the support service, Yamada Holdings aims to implement health management that adapts to their multi-site, diverse working environment.
