Look at People Inc. (CEO: Tsutomu Numata), in collaboration with Eisai Group's Theoria Technologies (CEO: Kohei Sakata) and under the supervision of Takanori Takebe (President of Street Medical Labo, Distinguished Professor at Osaka University), will launch the 'Dementia Behavioral Change Challenge Program' on July 29, 2026. Over six months and seven sessions, mixed teams of Theoria employees and external participants will co-create proposals aimed at social implementation, culminating in a public pitch event in December 2026. With the number of elderly people with dementia in Japan estimated to reach 7 million by 2025, the social implementation of preventive measures is urgent. Street Medical Labo has been cultivating hybrid talent by bridging medicine and design. This program integrates corporate challenges with external expertise to shape practical solutions for dementia preparedness. Mentors, including Professor Takebe, will guide participants from problem definition to implementation planning. Participation is free, with applications open until July 15.
