Centralized Health Data Management to Guide the Next Step in Health Management: Tokyo University-Founded Company Launches Corporate Cloud Service "Welly Compass"

Issin Inc., a healthcare startup originating from the University of Tokyo (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tao Cheng; pronunciation: Isshin, hereinafter "Issin"), has begun offering its corporate health management support service "Welly Compass" (hereinafter "the service").

The service enables online stress assessments and integrates health-related data held by companies, such as health checkup results.

[Background] Are Your Health Data Efforts Stopping at Data Collection?

In recent years, companies have increasingly prioritized employee health management and compliance with duty-of-care obligations. Legal developments, including the expansion of workplaces required to conduct stress checks by 2028, are driving greater demand for proper management and utilization of employee health data across more organizations.

Stress assessments and health checkups are crucial opportunities to understand employee well-being. However, post-implementation data often remains scattered across paper documents, PDFs, and Excel files, making standardization and department-level aggregation time-consuming. Additionally, stress check results contain sensitive personal information, requiring careful access control and management, further complicating their use.

As a result, HR, labor management, and health management professionals often find themselves limited to data collection and storage, unable to advance to analyzing organizational challenges or planning improvement strategies.

This service addresses these issues by organizing and visualizing health-related data with appropriate access controls and privacy protection, bridging the gap from identifying organizational challenges to planning concrete improvement actions. It contributes to overall business cost reduction by enhancing employee health and productivity.

Main Functionalities

[Stress Check] End-to-end implementation, analysis, and reporting in one interface

Supports online administration of both 57-item and 80-item stress check surveys, with group analysis reports visualizing metrics such as high-stress employee rate and sleep-deprived groups. The system supports registration of implementing physicians (occupational physicians) and generates reports for submission to labor standards inspection offices, enabling the entire workflow—implementation, analysis, and reporting—within a single interface. The survey interface supports 13 languages, enabling foreign employees to respond in their native language, improving accessibility and response accuracy.

[Health Check Data Management] Reduces manual input and ensures no employee is overlooked

Imports health check results and visualizes follow-up statuses for individuals requiring attention and individual longitudinal health trends. In addition to CSV import, AI-powered data entry reduces manual work associated with paper or Excel-based input and reconciliation, supporting systematic follow-up of employees needing care.

[Metrics Visualization] Enables discussion of health challenges with a common benchmark

Quantifies organizational health using standardized metrics—Organizational Health Score, Active Rate, and Performance Improvement Amount—and displays them by department and over time. This common benchmark allows for more objective comparison and prioritization of health initiatives. By expressing health challenges in monetary terms via Performance Improvement Amount, the service supports internal investment decisions and ROI reporting.

[Programs & Seminars] Reduces the gap between "analysis" and "action"

Centrally manages employee sign-ups for health improvement programs and seminars on topics such as sleep, exercise, stress, and nutrition. By enabling immediate access to appropriate actions based on identified issues, it shortens the path from analysis to implementation and reduces the planning and operational burden on administrators.

[Device Integration] Captures "daily changes" invisible in annual checkups

Integrates with devices such as smart bathroom mats and smart recovery rings to automatically record daily changes in weight and sleep within everyday life. This continuous monitoring helps verify whether health initiatives are becoming habitual—something difficult to assess through annual health checks or stress assessments alone.
