MUFG Bank, Omron, and JMDC Collaborate to Promote Blood Pressure Measurement Habits Among Approximately 30,000 Employees

The Bank of Mitsubishi UFJ (President and CEO: Masakazu Osawa, hereinafter MUFG Bank), Omron Corporation (President and CEO: Junta Tsujinaga, hereinafter Omron), and JMDC Inc. (President and CEO: Ryo Noguchi, hereinafter JMDC) will jointly promote the habituation of blood pressure measurement and self-care support utilizing health data for approximately 30,000 employees of MUFG Bank. This initiative aims to prevent circulatory diseases, including cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, and to improve lifestyle habits.

1. Background and Positioning

Circulatory diseases are one of Japan's major health challenges, and the importance of preventive measures is increasing for companies from the perspective of maintaining and promoting employee health and improving productivity. Grasping daily health indicators, such as blood pressure, can serve as an opportunity to review overall lifestyle habits and contribute to broad health promotion. While blood pressure data has traditionally been captured as "information at a single point in time" during health checkups, daily measurements expand its utility to understanding health trends and analyzing correlations with lifestyle habits.

As part of its health management initiatives [1], MUFG Bank introduced the health management package "Guardian" for managers and above in September 2025, promoting daily health management through measures such as distributing blood pressure monitors. This initiative expands the scope to all employees, aiming for behavioral change by providing opportunities for measurement.

The three companies aim to establish daily health management by combining "providing measurement opportunities" with "supporting behavioral change through data utilization," focusing on daily blood pressure measurement. This aligns with the long-term vision "Shaping the Future 2030" set forth by Omron, which addresses the extension of healthy life expectancy as one of the social issues to be tackled. Specifically, by integrating data recording, visualization, and feedback through JMDC's PHR service "Pep Up," Omron's measurement technology, and MUFG Bank's health policies, they will promote effective blood pressure measurement initiatives that involve "measuring, recording, noticing, continuing, and utilizing."

2. Main Initiatives

(1) Development of Blood Pressure Measurement Infrastructure

From March to May 2026, MUFG Bank installed a total of 420 Omron-made stationary blood pressure monitors at 355 branches nationwide and 20 headquarters buildings. By placing them in shared spaces, an environment is being created where employees can measure their blood pressure during breaks.

In this initiative, Omron will play a foundational role through equipment provision, supporting daily and continuous measurement, contributing to the spread of measurement habits that lead to early detection of health conditions and lifestyle improvements, and enhancing the experiential value of vital data measurement.

(2) Behavioral Change Support Utilizing Digital Tools

MUFG Bank, in collaboration with the MUFG Bank Health Insurance Society, is promoting health promotion initiatives utilizing "Pep Up" provided by JMDC. As part of this, a blood pressure measurement event for all employees will be held in July 2026.

This event is designed in stages to create participation opportunities, promote continuous measurement, and review results, with incentives provided to achievers. This aims to encourage employee awareness and behavioral change, and to establish daily self-care.

Through "Pep Up," JMDC will provide functions for recording, accumulating, visualizing, and feeding back measurement data, supporting employees' continuous measurement and review from a digital perspective.

(3) Advancement of Health Management Through Accumulation and Utilization of Daily Data

This initiative will enable the accumulation of daily blood pressure data, in addition to the spot data from conventional periodic health checkups. By encouraging the habituation of daily health management and promoting an approach based on continuous health data, it will lead to the realization of health management with a more detailed granularity that could not be captured by annual checkup results alone.

MUFG Bank, in collaboration with JMDC and the MUFG Bank Health Insurance Society, will aggregate and analyze data in a way that does not identify individuals, and will proceed with understanding the health status trends of all employees and analyzing their correlation with lifestyle habits.

Going forward, the three companies will consider advancing data-driven health management, such as designing and improving more effective health measures, by utilizing this data.

3. Social Significance and Future Outlook

This initiative aims not only to advance health management within companies but also to build a comprehensive health promotion practice model that is not limited to the prevention of specific diseases, through the acquisition and utilization of daily health data.

The collaboration between the three companies will lead to the creation of social value, such as extending employees' healthy life expectancy, preventing lifestyle-related diseases and their progression, and optimizing medical costs.
