[First in Minami-ku, Okayama City] Okayama Rosai Hospital to Start Offering "Atama no Kenko Check®" as a Standard Item for Brain and Other Medical Checkups

Millennia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), a veteran provider of private cognitive function check services under Saint-Care Holding, has announced that its cognitive scale "Atama no Kenko Check®" (Head Health Check) will be newly introduced and operated as a standard inspection item for Brain, Brain Cardiovascular, and Frailty Checkups at Okayama Rosai Hospital (Location: Minami-ku, Okayama City) starting April 2026.

### Background of Introduction
Guidelines for dementia prevention issued by the Japan Brain Dock Society now list cognitive function testing as a mandatory item, highlighting the importance of managing lifestyle-related diseases from middle age. Furthermore, the "Guide for Preparing for Life with Dementia" published by the Alzheimer's Association Japan encourages individuals to stay sensitive to changes in their physical condition in preparation for aging and the possibility of developing dementia.

Against this backdrop, Okayama Rosai Hospital aims to provide opportunities to understand cognitive status starting from middle age. Through recommendations for risk reduction—such as lifestyle improvements—the hospital seeks to promote and raise awareness of habits for maintaining "head health" within the community.
