Don't Let Health Management Be a "One-and-Done" Thing. UR Doctor Launches "Health Management & Mandatory Stress Check Compliance Package" for SMEs

UR Doctor Inc. (Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO, Physician: Takamichi Karasawa, hereinafter "the Company") has begun offering a package service that comprehensively supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from preparation for Health Management Excellent Corporation certification to post-certification operation, post-health check follow-up, and compliance with mandatory stress checks. This service aims to help SMEs, which often struggle to assign dedicated personnel, establish a system for continuous health management operations by leveraging physician and nursing teams along with the Company's system.

The Wave of Mandatory Implementation and Expanded Certification Hits SMEs Simultaneously (Scheduled for April 2028 / Implementation Rate 81.7% → 34.6% / Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026, SME Category: 23,085 Corporations)

Why Now: The Wave of Mandatory Implementation and Expanded Certification Hits SMEs Simultaneously

The environment surrounding health management for SMEs is undergoing significant changes. With the upcoming mandatory implementation of stress checks even for workplaces with fewer than 50 employees, there is an increasing need for small businesses to promptly establish mental health support systems, operational frameworks, physician consultations, and record management.

Meanwhile, the Health Management Excellent Corporation 2026 recognized 23,085 corporations in the SME category, indicating that health management is expanding beyond large corporations to SMEs. Despite this trend, challenges remain on the ground, such as "lack of dedicated personnel," "difficulty in following up after health check-ups," "personnel-dependent record management," and "certification efforts becoming superficial after acquisition."

The Company supports health management not as separate tasks of preparing for the next year's Health Management Excellent Corporation certification and complying with mandatory stress checks, but as a "unified health management operation" that includes post-health check follow-up, physician consultations, and evidence management.

Challenges Faced by SMEs

Lack of dedicated personnel, unsure where to start

Low health check participation and secondary examination rates

Inconsistent follow-up after health check-ups

Person-dependent management of evidence and records

Efforts become superficial after certification acquisition, leading to a "one-and-done" approach

Lack of a prepared system for mandatory stress checks

Service Overview: Integrated Operation from Certification Preparation to Mandatory Compliance

UR Doctor's Health Management Operation: Certification Preparation → Post-Health Check Follow-up → Evidence Management → Physician Consultation → Stress Check Compliance

1 Support for Organizing Certification Requirements and Application Preparation

We visualize the initiatives lacking in your company based on certification criteria. We support the preparation of health declarations, system building, and necessary documents (certification success is not guaranteed).

2 DX Support for Post-Health Check Follow-up

We reduce the hurdle for health check-ups through on-site visits and visualize those who have not completed their check-ups. We provide continuous encouragement for secondary examinations and support the establishment of post-health check follow-up.

3 Evidence Management and PDCA Visualization with UR Chart

We consolidate records such as health check-ups, consultations, and response histories into UR Chart, reducing the burden of evidence management required for certification. Initiative progress is visualized through reports, leading to continuous improvement.

4 Consultation, Interviews, and Referral to Medical Institutions through Collaboration with Physicians, Nurses, and Industrial Physicians

We handle health consultations via LINE, conduct interviews with industrial physicians and physicians, and refer to medical institutions as needed. We identify early signs of employee distress and connect them to appropriate support.

5 Integrated Operation Including Compliance with Mandatory Stress Checks

We provide stress check implementation, physician interviews based on results, consultations, and referrals to medical institutions as an integrated part of health management operations.

Reasons for Choosing UR Doctor

1 Continuous Involvement of Physician and Nursing Teams

Physician and nursing teams remain continuously involved even after certification, preventing "done and forgotten" situations after health check-ups and stress checks.

2 Tailored Design Based on Each Company's Challenges

We design necessary measures and priorities based on industry, size, certification status, and health issues. We support operations tailored to each company's reality, rather than using a uniform template.

3 Integration of Certification Acquisition and Stress Check Compliance

We design the Health Management Excellent Corporation certification response and stress check response, which are often handled separately, as a single operational process.

4 Connecting Health Checks, Consultations, Records, and Referrals

We connect health checks, health consultations, record management, and referrals to medical institutions as a continuous operation, transforming it from a "one-and-done" event into an annual health management operation.

Benefits of Implementation

Ability to proceed with support from certification preparation to operation, even without dedicated personnel

Reduced burden of evidence management as health checks, consultations, and records are connected in a single operation

Preparedness for the mandatory stress check implementation scheduled for 2028 with minimal additional system construction

Early identification of employee health issues, contributing to prevention of turnover and retention of talent

Significance for Municipalities and Local Communities

In regions facing severe labor shortages, preventing employee health concerns, untreated illnesses, and mental health-related turnover directly contributes to maintaining local employment. Health management for SMEs is a highly public-interest theme that not only leads to talent retention, turnover prevention, and maintenance of local employment but also contributes to extending healthy life expectancy and optimizing medical costs.

UR Doctor aims to promote community-wide health promotion by collaborating not only with individual companies but also with municipalities, health insurance societies, local financial institutions, and chambers of commerce.

Corporate Website Renewed

With the concept of "New Health Management with Continuous Physician Involvement," we have renewed our corporate website (https://ur-doctor.com/). The website has been reorganized to clarify the overall service, include messages from our representative, external evaluations, and provide clear contact points, making it easier for companies, municipalities, and related organizations to consult with us.

Comment from Takamichi Karasawa, President & CEO, Physician

"In the past, medical care often began only after symptoms appeared. However, signs of distress can manifest years before the onset of illness. Our goal is to identify those signs early in the workplace and connect employees to consultations and medical care. As physicians, we design the operational framework for this and work alongside physician and nursing teams, close to companies and communities. We aim to deliver "sustainable health management" that goes beyond simply obtaining certification to include compliance with mandatory stress checks, creating workplaces where people can truly "continue to work."
