ALPHA for Biz Implements 5 Fitness Measurement Items from Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Fall Risk Assessment

Overview

Pestalozzi Technology, Inc. has announced that its corporate fitness check and data utilization service, 'ALPHA for Biz', now supports the 5 physical fitness measurement items from the 'Fall Risk Assessment Self-Check Sheet' stipulated by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW).

This update allows companies to eliminate traditional paper-based management, Excel data entry, and manual radar chart creation. The entire process, from measurement to evaluation and visualization, can now be completed seamlessly within the app.

Background: Challenges of Analog Operations and the Need for Digitalization

Following the MHLW's 'Guidelines for Preventing Occupational Accidents Among Older Workers' (effective April 1, 2026), the importance of fitness checks has increased. However, traditional manual operations faced several challenges:

- **Operational Burden**: Processes such as manual score calculation and manual radar chart creation increased the management workload as the number of employees grew. - **Data Utilization Barriers**: Paper management made it difficult to accumulate historical data or perform trend comparisons, hindering analysis of the relationship between fitness levels, health, and occupational accidents.

Update Details

- **Full Digitalization**: Direct input via smartphones reduces transcription and aggregation tasks to zero. - **Automation**: The app automatically generates 1-5 scale ratings and radar charts. - **Data Accumulation & Analytics**: Enables advanced organizational analysis, including individual historical tracking and aggregated results by department or age group. - **Centralized Management**: Manages these items alongside standard 5 fitness tests and custom corporate-specific items on a single platform.

Future Outlook

Under the purpose of 'Making Exercise Data Valuable,' Pestalozzi Technology intends to continue expanding the functionality of 'ALPHA for Biz' to support corporate injury prevention and health management.
