Octawell Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Suzuko Takagi), which has a network of over 5,700 registered dietitians nationwide (as of the end of March 2026) and provides healthcare services such as specific health guidance, announced that the cumulative number of participants has exceeded 60,000 as of April 2026, since the specific health guidance service started in 2018.
In addition, the continuation rate for those who reached the final evaluation was 96.9%, significantly exceeding the industry challenge of "low continuation rates." A key feature is that the company has achieved both an increase in numbers and the quality of support that leads to results.
Structural Issues in Specific Health Guidance
Specific health guidance is implemented nationwide as a system aimed at preventing the onset and severity of lifestyle-related diseases. However, challenges such as low participation and continuation rates among target individuals, difficulty in responding to the operational requirements of each insurer, and variations in the quality of specialized professionals have been pointed out. There is a demand to achieve both "producing results" and "continuing to function as a system." Solving these issues is becoming increasingly important from the perspective of future medical cost containment.
Operational System Achieving Both Results and Effectiveness
To address these issues, the company has achieved both results and effectiveness by integrally designing its operational system, human resource development, and systems. As a result, the continuation rate for those who reached the final evaluation reached 96.9%. While low continuation rates are a challenge in specific health guidance, the company consistently achieves an extremely high completion rate. Furthermore, the satisfaction rate of completers was 95.9%, and the percentage of those who expressed their intention to continue improving their lifestyle habits after completion was 77.2%, demonstrating support that leads to the establishment of behavioral changes, not just temporary numerical improvements.
Behind this is a training model that ensures the quality of specialized professionals. Registered dietitians in charge of guidance are only assigned after meeting certain standards through role-playing evaluations, and thereafter, the quality of guidance is maintained and improved through regular evaluations and continuous training.
In addition, to respond to the varying operational requirements of each medical insurer, a flexible operational design is adopted. Furthermore, a proprietary business management system centralizes the management of progress and quality, achieving both efficiency and standardization, and ensuring stable operations.
Establishment of a Preventive Model that Continuously Produces Results
The greatest feature of the company's model is that it simultaneously achieves "expansion of implementation numbers" and "high continuation rates." In the specific health guidance market, many services focus on short-term results, but the company emphasizes implementation as a "mechanism that continuously produces results." We believe that creating results, continuous execution, and ensuring the operational feasibility of the system will enhance the effectiveness of preventive medicine and, as a result, contribute to medical cost containment.
Going forward, the company plans to expand its preventive healthcare domain, including implementing initial consultations on the day of health check-ups, collaborating with outpatient nutritional guidance, and supporting health management for corporations. Through a model that integrates human resources, operations, and systems, the company aims to realize and standardize preventive medicine in society.
