Monoxer Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Representative Directors: Kotaro Takeuchi, Keisuke Kuroyanagi), which provides the memory platform "Monoxer", introduced Monoxer at Tomod's Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, President: Shinji Sumiya, Sumitomo Corporation Group, hereinafter "Tomod's"), which operates drugstores with dispensing pharmacies mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area, to work towards the further advancement of registered salesperson training through preparation for the 2025 registered salesperson examination.
In this initiative, in addition to the traditional exam preparation methods such as general training and e-learning, Tomod's utilized Monoxer's feature of "AI-driven automatic problem generation tailored to individual memory retention levels" to provide a learning environment optimized for each individual learner. Furthermore, by visualizing each person's learning progress and memory retention, Tomod's aimed to strengthen detailed learning support from the administrators' side.
As for the results, not only was a relatively high pass rate confirmed among learners who showed high memory retention on Monoxer, but more than 70% of users commented, "I felt the effectiveness in retaining memories through Monoxer," and "I also felt the original content from the administrator was effective, and was encouraged by messages like in chats." This suggests that it is an effective learning tool even in terms of a learning experience carried out during spare time alongside regular duties.
We believe that this initiative can serve as a model case for increasing the exam pass rate while keeping down the man-hours for both adult learners who find it difficult to secure substantial learning time, and administrators who feel challenged by learning support tailored to individual progress.
■ Comments from Ms. Sakugawa, General Affairs & Human Resources Department / Mr. Niihari, Store Operation Department, Tomod's Inc.
Our company focuses on training registered salespeople, who are also considered specialists in over-the-counter medicines. While we have achieved a certain level of success in knowledge acquisition and qualification attainment, there was a need for further advancement in the mechanism to objectively grasp learning outcomes and knowledge retention levels and apply them to training.
Through the introduction of Monoxer, we recognized that supporting employees' qualification attainment requires the development of an environment where they can continue efficient learning according to individual progress, and a mechanism that enables solid knowledge retention. We feel that the approach of visualizing memory retention in Monoxer has potential for utilization not only in the area of qualification attainment but in human resource development in general.
■ Comment from Kotaro Takeuchi, Representative Director and CEO, Monoxer Inc.
We are deeply honored that Monoxer was able to support the learning of your employees in Tomod's registered salesperson training initiative.
We feel it is a major step forward that, while respecting individual efforts, a system has been built where learning status is visualized based on data and administrators can properly accompany them, and furthermore, by combining learning history and exam results, the outcomes of human resource development could be quantitatively grasped.
This case has become an example showing that the optimization of memory retention steadily leads to solid results. Going forward, with the mission of "Making memory more effortless and a part of everyday life," we will continue to stay close to everyone who takes on various learning challenges and provide high-quality learning experiences.
Our company will continue to develop and provide "Monoxer", a learning platform for memory retention, with the mission of "Memory in everyday life."

Memory plays a fundamental role in our human intellectual activities.
When a person recognizes or judges something.
