The PR image displays a large figure of a medical facility.

Iryo Hojin Anyukai (Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Chairman CEO: Takahiro Ohga) has established a new health checkup facility, "Heart Cross Kenshin Plaza," which supports behavioral change, in front of Akasaka Station in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, on April 1, 2026. We are entering an era where 1 in 2 people get cancer and 1 in 3 die from it. On the other hand, issues such as not undergoing follow-up examinations after checkups and not implementing lifestyle improvements persist, leading to a situation where checkups are 'just for notification of results'.

With the keyword "Let's prevent your bad end," this facility's mission is to go beyond simply detecting abnormalities. It aims to consistently provide support for lifestyle improvements, recommend follow-up examinations, and facilitate referrals to appropriate medical institutions. By utilizing AI as a companion, we will provide continuous follow-up and support the behavioral change of individuals until they regain their health. Furthermore, as a community-rooted medical institution, we aim to contribute to extending the healthy life expectancy and optimizing medical costs in Fukuoka, while also supporting companies in promoting health management, thereby building a new health checkup model that contributes to solving regional health challenges.

Background of Establishment

In an era where 1 in 2 people develop cancer, the rate of undergoing health checkups and medical examinations remains around 70%. Furthermore, even with a C or D grade (requiring examination), only about 20-30% of people actually visit a medical institution. This is especially true when there are no subjective symptoms, leading to neglect. The current situation of checkups being 'just for notification' can lead to severe illness and increased medical costs. For companies, the burden of managing checkup results and recommending re-examinations is concentrated on the担当者 (person in charge). In light of these social backgrounds, we have developed a system that supports the behavioral change of individuals by utilizing the companion AI "AI Ohga-man Anti-aging" at this facility, providing integrated follow-up after checkups, recommendations for re-examination, and support for lifestyle improvement.

Message from Takahiro Ohga, Chairman CEO of Iryo Hojin Anyukai

In August 2025, during a medical examination at the age of 43, I was diagnosed with calcification in my kidney. As a result of a detailed examination, a tumor of approximately 35 millimeters was found in the central part of my kidney, and on November 4 of the same year, I was diagnosed with malignant tumor (kidney cancer). I underwent surgery on December 1 and lost one kidney, but my life was saved.

It's too late once symptoms appear. Through this experience, I strongly realized the necessity of a system that ensures checkups are not 'just for notification' but reliably lead to the next action. "Let's prevent your bad end." This is not just a slogan. It is a message from my own life, born from personal experience. By implementing a system in society that supports the step after a health checkup, I want to save even one more life. I will strive forward with this strong conviction.
