J-Fronteer Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Atsuhiro Nakamura; hereinafter 'the Company') announces the launch of a new feature for its online medical consultation and medication guidance app, 'SOKUYAKU,' which allows users to search for and book clinics based on their desired time slots. ■ Background of the New Feature Development This feature enables users to search and book medical institutions based on their convenient times, in addition to medical specialty and area. This makes it easier for individuals who have difficulty scheduling appointments during the day due to work, household chores, or childcare to choose a clinic that fits their schedule, realizing a smoother consultation experience. When booking a medical institution, not only the specialty but also 'whether one can book an appointment during their free time' is a major deciding factor. However, in a busy daily life, it can be cumbersome to search for a medical institution by comparing multiple options based on available time. 'SOKUYAKU' is a medical service that utilizes smartphones to allow users to receive online medical consultations and medication guidance from home or the office, and also supports the receipt of prescribed medications. This time, to further improve the user's booking experience, we have added a new flow of 'searching from available times' in addition to 'searching for a desired clinic.' ■ Overview of the New Feature The newly added feature allows users to specify their desired date and time, find a clinic that matches those conditions, and proceed with the booking. We envision the following use cases: 1. For finding a clinic during a gap in your schedule: It becomes easier to find a clinic that you can visit during limited times, such as work breaks or between household chores and childcare. 2. For efficiently booking based on available time: In addition to the conventional flow of 'choosing a clinic and then checking for open slots,' users can now decide on the time first and search for candidates, which is expected to reduce the burden of booking. 3. For preventing missed opportunities for consultation: By allowing searches based on available time slots, it becomes easier to take booking action at the necessary timing for consultations that tend to be postponed. The Company will continue to contribute to the promotion of medical DX by developing a medical access infrastructure that is easy for patients to use and for medical institutions to operate through 'SOKUYAKU.' ■ About 'SOKUYAKU' 'SOKUYAKU,' provided by J-Fronteer Co., Ltd., is an online medical consultation, medication guidance, and prescription drug delivery service that allows users to receive online consultations, guidance, and their medication, with delivery as fast as the same day, all from their home or office using a smartphone.
