Premedica aims to realize a society where everyone can perform at their 'best condition'.

This press release is a dream shared by a business that resonates with the April Dream project, aiming to make April 1st a day filled with dreams. We support the April Dream project, which encourages companies to share their dreams on April 1st. This is the dream of Premedica, Inc. On April 1st, Premedica, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Tomohide Tanaka) underwent a leadership change. We define today as the 'Second Founding Period' and are moving into a new phase of growth. The new CEO, Tomohide Tanaka, advocates for the combination of 'scientific evidence' and 'overwhelming trial frequency.' Previously, we provided optional testing services for health checkups, playing the role of 'informing about risks.' Moving forward, we will evolve into a 'social infrastructure' that maximizes human potential based on the knowledge we have accumulated. Behind this dream lies a challenge in Japan that we have faced sincerely: the unprecedented speed of aging. While average life expectancy continues to rise, there is a gap of over 10 years with 'healthy life expectancy.' This gap leads to increased medical costs and care burdens. Notably, Japan's national medical expenditure exceeded 48.9 trillion yen in fiscal 2023, yet not a single yen is allocated to 'prevention' or 'health checkups.' We believe that everyone living healthily is the shortcut to solving this. We have supported many people's health through services like 'LOX-index' (over 1 million tests) and 'Flora Scan.' We are also expanding our well-being business centered on industrial physician services. We believe in the power of science and will move to the next stage by implementing its possibilities into society. We aim to make the 'best condition' the norm. Even if there is a future where illness is discovered, we want to fill the 'blank time' until then with 'hope.' We are committed to taking on this challenge.
