CureApp CEO Kota Satake Lectures at Toshin & Yotsuya Otsuka's 'Future Discovery Course'

CureApp, Inc. is pleased to announce that its President and CEO, Kota Satake, M.D., has participated as a guest lecturer in the 'Future Discovery Course,' an educational program for students of Toshin High School, Toshin Satellite Preparatory School, and Yotsuya Otsuka, operated by Nagase & Co., Ltd. This program aims to help the next generation grasp social changes and cultivate their own dreams and ambitions. In the lecture, Dr. Satake shared his personal background, his transition from a physician to an entrepreneur, and his current work on 'digital therapeutics'—a new treatment method using mobile applications. The recorded lecture will be streamed online to approximately 150,000 students across Japan. During the session, Dr. Satake explained his student-era turning points and the motivations behind his entrepreneurial journey in a way accessible to elementary, middle, and high school students. He discussed his reasons for becoming a doctor and the 'barrier of lifestyle habits' that medicine alone could not solve, explaining how he sought to overcome this using digital technology. He particularly emphasized the fact that the 'smartphones' students use daily are now being used as 'therapeutic apps' that have received regulatory approval and insurance coverage for treating specific diseases. By introducing this cutting-edge business model, he highlighted the joy of innovation that transcends existing frameworks. He also delivered a powerful message to the students about the importance of conviction when facing difficulties and the mindset required to overcome setbacks.
