Bio Engineering Capital Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Shimahara; hereinafter 'BEC') announces that it plans to launch 'AI Dock', a preventive healthcare service utilizing full-body scans and AI technology, in July 2026. The service will be provided through Med X Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Shimahara), established as the first company creation project by BEC. A pre-order program will commence prior to this in May 2026.
AI Dock is a novel preventive healthcare service that combines MRI scans (including DWIBS), CT scans, blood tests, and lifestyle information. It clearly organizes and visualizes the health status of each patient, supporting continuous health management.
Supervised by Dr. Taro Takahara, the inventor of the DWIBS method, this service aims to realize a preventive healthcare experience that doesn't just end after the checkup. It achieves this by combining patient-friendly imaging examinations with AI-driven data utilization.
This project is positioned as the first step in the company creation promoted by BEC. By combining medical AI, medical data, medical institution networks, and business development functions, BEC aims to continuously create healthcare businesses that can be implemented in society. AI Dock is its inaugural initiative.
[Background]
Toward a new preventive medicine that doesn't 'end with the test'
In Japan, a culture of preventive medicine, including comprehensive health checkups (Ningen Dock), is deeply rooted. However, there is a challenge: test results are highly technical and difficult to understand, making it hard to connect them to concrete behavioral changes and continuous health management after the examination. Furthermore, Japan has a widely established infrastructure for advanced medical imaging, such as MRI and CT, leaving room to better utilize these medical assets for preventive care. Recently, new healthcare services combining full-body scans with digital technology have emerged overseas, changing the very nature of health management. Based on this background, Med X aims to realize a new preventive healthcare experience where value begins after the checkup, by integrating imaging tests, blood tests, AI, medical data, and expert medical knowledge.
[Features of AI Dock]
1. Preventive healthcare experience through full-body scans including DWIBS
AI Dock provides patients with the opportunity to understand their body's condition through a full-body scan combining MRI (including DWIBS) and CT scans. DWIBS is an MRI imaging method that involves no radiation exposure and is utilized as a technique to capture the entire body's condition while minimizing physical burden. AI Dock positions DWIBS as a core examination technology, aiming to grasp health status from multiple angles by combining it with imaging tests like brain MRIs and lung CTs.
2. Integration of imaging, blood, and lifestyle data
AI Dock combines not only imaging tests but also blood tests and lifestyle information. By comprehensively analyzing multiple data points rather than single test results, it aims to organize health information for each patient in a more understandable format, eventually leading to the tracking of changes over time.
3. Easy-to-understand narrative reports
Technical test results can be difficult for patients to understand. AI Dock organizes and visualizes image and numerical information in a patient-friendly format, providing reports that lead to health comprehension and next actions. It designs an experience where patients can treat their health as a personal matter, going beyond merely presenting numbers and images.
4. Continuous health support via AI
Even after the examination, AI Dock supports continuous health management through AI-assisted comprehension of health information and daily healthcare communication. In the future, it aims to realize more personalized health support based on changes in each patient's data over time.
* This service is scheduled to be provided in cooperation with medical institutions.
* Details such as examination content, service areas, pricing, and reservation methods will be announced upon official launch.
* As the service is under development, contents may change upon official launch.
* Information provided by AI aims to support general health management and is not intended for medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice.
* This service does not aim to replace disease diagnosis or treatment; evaluation by a physician may be necessary.
[Future Outlook]
Currently, efforts are underway toward strategic partnerships with various platforms, including 'MRSO', one of Japan's largest health checkup reservation sites. This will create an environment where users can smoothly book and undergo examinations at nearby medical institutions, aiming for rapid social implementation and expansion of locations.
Moving forward, Med X will gradually expand the service area of AI Dock, keeping in mind corporate health and productivity management measures and collaboration with medical institutions.
Furthermore, AI Dock aims to evolve into a personal AI experience closely integrated into patients' daily lives, rather than just presenting test results as medical information. In addition to proposing meals, exercise, and sleep based on physical conditions and lifestyles, it will provide general health information tailored to changes in body shape and lifestyle, connecting health data to a more positive and enjoyable daily experience.
Med X will actively incorporate evolving AI technology, image analysis technology, and healthcare data utilization technology. In collaboration with medical institutions and experts, it will strive to provide a better medical and healthcare experience for each patient. Transforming preventive medicine from an obligation or anxiety into an experience of knowing one's body and updating daily choices, AI Dock aims to be a new healthcare platform connecting medicine and lifestyle.
