This service is unique in that it not only automates the treatment plan process, but also provides patient interviews and individualized lifestyle guidance in a consistent and hassle-free manner.
Furthermore, we believe that both patients and medical staff will be pleased with the over 10,000 registered dietitian recipes that Taishikenko has developed so far.
* ■Background of Kakaris development*
In the Reiwa 6th Medical Fee Revision (Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare) notified in March 2024, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia will be subject to specific disease treatment management from the perspective of “promoting high-quality disease management for lifestyle-related diseases.” The fee is no longer subject to calculation, and the calculation has been changed to
“Lifestyle-related disease management fee 1 or 2” instead. Along with this, *
In addition to creating a “medical treatment plan” for each patient and calculation, mainly aimed at correcting lifestyle habits, we provide detailed explanations and issues to patients, obtain consent signatures, and encourage regular dental and ophthalmological examinations. is a requirement for calculating the relevant medical fee*
This has been shown. As a result, medical institutions will be required to promote disease management tailored to patients’ lifestyles, such as diet and exercise, and at the same time, it is predicted that related work will increase and insurance income will be affected.
Under these circumstances, our company, which provides the AI menu proposal and nutrition management app “Oishii Kenkou,” has been receiving increasing inquiries from medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies, and we have been receiving inquiries from medical institutions and dispensing pharmacies for some time. I have prepared a solution. In response to the recent revision of medical fees, we have decided to release Kakaris, a lifestyle-related disease management DX solution based on a wealth of delicious health assets. * ■ Overview and features of Kakaris *

* ■Future development “Aiming to realize “sampo yoshi” in medical care” * Japan’s national medical expenses amount to approximately 45 trillion yen, accounting for 40% of the national budget (general account).

70.1% of hypertensive patients on drug treatment did not reach their blood pressure reduction goal*
It has been reported that *2, and as indicated in the recent medical fee revision, promoting high-quality disease management that incorporates lifestyle habits is considered an important issue in terms of controlling medical costs.
