Pharumo Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshiei Hiroi; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is pleased to announce that the number of pharmacies adopting its cloud-based dispensing information linkage platform, "Pharumo Cloud," has surpassed 15,000 stores nationwide.

Number of Pharmacies Adopting Pharumo Cloud Exceeds 15,000

"Pharumo Cloud" is a medical DX platform that the Company builds and operates to safely and efficiently link dispensing information from pharmacies nationwide. Based on "Pharumo Cloud," the Company is developing a layered structure of services, including an electronic medication record service, pharmacy operational efficiency services, and the N-Bridge service supervised by the Japan Pharmacists Association.

"Pharumo Cloud" has been utilized by many as a platform connecting patients, pharmacies, and regional healthcare. With the support and cooperation of everyone, we have now built a pharmacy network exceeding 15,000 stores nationwide (as of July 2026). Its adoption has also progressed in regional healthcare, with approximately 90% of pharmacies in one prefecture adopting the system, establishing it as indispensable medical infrastructure.

This achievement is entirely due to the immense support from the medical institutions, partner companies, and all stakeholders who regularly use "Pharumo Cloud," and we express our deepest gratitude.

Comment from Yoshiei Hiroi, President and CEO of Pharumo Inc.

The number of pharmacies adopting "Pharumo Cloud" has now exceeded 15,000. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the pharmacies, pharmacists, medical institutions, and partner companies who utilize it.

Japanese regional healthcare faces the challenge of balancing quality of care with sustainability under limited medical resources. To achieve this, it is crucial to understand regional conditions and for stakeholders to share issues and collaborate. A network of 15,000 stores serves as an important foundation to support such collaboration and enable pharmacies and pharmacists to contribute to public health and healthcare collaboration within regional healthcare.

The role of pharmacies and pharmacists has expanded from a foundation of "object-oriented" expertise to "person-oriented" engagement with each patient. Moving forward, we believe it is increasingly important to demonstrate the value of pharmacies and pharmacists from a "region-oriented" perspective, supporting the healthcare of the entire region.

Our company will develop this connection into a network that can provide greater value to regional healthcare and public health, and together with all stakeholders involved in the region, we will contribute to the creation of sustainable regional healthcare.

Future Outlook

With the establishment of a nationwide network of 15,000 stores, our company is moving from the foundational stage to the next phase of value creation, focusing on strengthening public health and regional collaboration.

Through our extensive pharmacy network, as responsible data custodians for dispensing information on a regional basis, we will enhance the following initiatives beyond just system provision, contributing to public health:

【Future Initiatives (Examples)】

Support for Academic Research: "Pharumo Cloud" will serve as research infrastructure for Japanese pharmacoepidemiology. While ensuring personal information protection and research ethics, we will support research by regional healthcare stakeholders, companies, universities, and research institutions, accumulating knowledge from local initiatives that can be applied to other regions.

Contribution to AMR (Antimicrobial Resistance) Measures: We will support the promotion of appropriate use by understanding regional antimicrobial usage patterns and linking data.

Support for Regional Formulary Promotion: To improve the quality of medical care and optimize healthcare costs, we will provide data-driven support for the development and operation of guidelines for the standard use of pharmaceuticals across the region.

Promotion of OTC Drug Use: We will investigate the usage of prescription drugs that can be substituted with OTC drugs and support initiatives to promote the use of OTC drugs among patients.

"Pharumo Cloud" will continue to contribute to the realization of a sustainable future of healthcare as an infrastructure that connects pharmacies and supports regional healthcare.

Recruitment of Research Activity Partners Utilizing "Pharumo Cloud"

We are broadly recruiting partners (universities, research institutions, companies, medical professionals, etc.) for joint research and demonstration experiments aiming to create new medical value by utilizing the dispensing information linkage network of 15,000 stores nationwide. We welcome inquiries from those interested in research activities that contribute to the improvement of regional healthcare and public health in Japan, conducted in a safe environment that respects personal information protection and research ethics.
