Mediphone Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Mayumi Sawada; hereinafter "Mediphone"), which provides remote medical interpretation for medical institutions and supports corporate health management®, announced that it has begun providing its cloud-based health management system "mediment" to Marukome Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture; President & CEO: Tokio Aoki).
■ Background and Purpose of "mediment" Introduction
Marukome Co., Ltd., founded in 1854 (Ansei 1), is a leading Japanese food manufacturer boasting a top share in miso manufacturing and sales in Japan. With the corporate philosophy of "Contributing to people's healthy lives through traditional Japanese fermentation technology," it offers a diverse range of products utilizing fermentation technology, including its main products miso and instant miso soup, as well as koji products and soy-related foods. The company focuses not only on household products but also on supplying commercial products, expanding into global markets, and developing products that meet health-conscious and diversifying dietary needs.
For its approximately 1,000 employees across its headquarters and group companies, establishing a stronger centralized management system for health checkup results and findings data had become a critical operational matter. Furthermore, as information had previously been managed individually using spreadsheets, improving operational efficiency and facilitating smooth information sharing were identified as future challenges.
Against this backdrop, Mediphone has begun providing "mediment" to Marukome Co., Ltd. By centrally managing health checkup results and findings data, the aim is to streamline health management operations and further promote the maintenance and improvement of employee health.
【Comment from Marukome Co., Ltd. Representative】
"Previously, managing health checkup results was highly inefficient due to a mix of paper and digital data, making it difficult to manage unsubmitted reports and share information with industrial doctors. In addition, with the increase in group companies, we faced challenges in labor management.
'mediment' appears to be easy to operate intuitively with a clear screen. We expect that the introduction of 'mediment' will strengthen our group's health management system and further promote health-focused management."
