Health Care business Concept

Health Care businessShifting health management focus from medical provider to patients

This is Imagine Global Care's Healthcare Unit's vision. How can we develop services to support health-conscious individuals to live active and fulfilling lives? Answer: By giving them more control and options for their own healthcare. We can provide the unique services necessary to support these needs and this lifestyle.

Health Concierge

Convenient and personalized healthcare

"From my recent health check-up, I learned that I have a liver problem ... Could you introduce me to a reliable doctor?"

"How can I stop smoking?"

You want to consult about your health with a professional, but going to the hospital to see a doctor is too inconvenient.

You need help finding the right hospital and doctor - not any kind of doctor - but one you can fully trust.  This is not so easy when you're concerned about your health.

When you are ready to take an independent action to stay healthy,"Health Concierge" is there to provide you with the appropriate advice, as well as medically reliable resources.

Supporting those who are full of life!

An on-going project aimed towards active seniors, is our "on-site health consulation centers". Health concierge professionals are conveniently located in the apartment complex and are happy to consult about health concerns. In this system, the concierge and client will work together and share health records thus allocating information through the use of modern technology (mobile devices such as phones and PCs.) ASP services catered for health management are used to support this system. In addition to this we are developing state-of-the-art technologies to automatically record patient information into this data system.

Growing with Communities

Growing with CommunitiesNot only do we provide this service for apartment residents but also for private companies and local communities. We will place health concierges in local pharmacies to support public health. Our service will function as "On-site Health Consultation Centers." Our ultimate goal is to support communities where people live happy healthy lifestyles. We currently operate over 1500 pharmacies in Japan. We will continue to expand our "health concierge" service throughout the world.

DTC

1,500 pharmacies national-wide connecting Imagine Global Care and our clients

DTC is a medical marketing method advising consumers about health conditions and encouraging them to talk to their doctors if they notice any unusual symptoms. This method is growing in popularity and you can find examples of it in TV commercials and Newspaper ads. Realizing that pharmacies are closer to hospitals, we have been implementing DTC advertising in these areas. Our pharmacy network is a perfect medium to apply DTC promotion. We provide marketing services via data collection with questionnaires and via advertising space. Visual displays such as posters are mounted on walls and professionals can directly hand out leaflets to patients who are directly in need of their services. DTC promotion can be widely distributed to consumers via TV commercials and mass media; however, we believe the best way to reach the target market is through our DTC service that allows patients to make their health decisions right when and where they need it.

Marketing through "Pharmacy owned Patient Databases"

DTC

For example, researching the motives for a patient who consulted their doctor for advice on smoking cessation may give us valuable information to be applied to our future marketing. We will consider the motives for smoking cessation by asking questions such as "Why did you choose this specific drug from the countless supplements available?"

By using our patient database, it is possible to investigate our targeted market in-depth. It is possible to create analytical reports and databases from these investigations. It is an ideal medium to obtain on-the-spot data and see first-hand how medical supplies are being sold.

Possibilities lie under DTC with much regulation.

It is important for consumers to have professional, accurate and clearly understandable information about medicine when applying DTC marketing. Is it easy to understand? Is it interesting? These points are vital to enhancing promotion.

In these terms, DTC promotion at pharmacies is very effective. For instance, it is possible for pharmacists to hand out pamphlets, directly, to the appropriate patient considering his/her personal needs. In the packages offered by pharmacists we will include the medicine's product information. Product information is written on the back of highly reliable documents such as "pharmaceutical information distribution documents"; thusly, it will reach target groups who are sensitive to those issues. Then, consumers have the opportunity to read it repeatedly. We will continue to develop diverse ways to be a "touch point" between pharmaceutical companies and consumers.

Supplement Investigation

collaborative development with Tokyo University Graduate School – Proven Effective Supplements

In the medical industry, it is vital to have EVIDENCE to recommend a treatment for illness, injury, or symptom. This supplement has been developed by our founder, Dr. Kinoshita in collaboration with Tokyo University. Tokyo University holds the patent on this development method. Recently, supplements are very accessible, even at convenience stores and online shops; however, we aim to develop outstanding products that doctors can confidently recommend over the lower quality competition.

"Brolico" – Imagine Global Care's first product discovered in Kansui Laboratory

broccoli

Below is an example of our product development process:
When presenting natural immunology substances to larvae, one can observe muscles contraction. This was discovered at Tokyo University's Kansui Laboratory. This attracted much attention, including "Journal of Biological Chemistry" a magazine world-known in the Bio-chemical field. Human and Larvae show similar medical responses so they are useful for medical testing. (This was also discovered by Doctor Kansui). Aookying this knowledge, we tested several products and found that, broccoli adopted material was the most effective on agaricus and fucoidan, compounds well known for strengthening the immune system.

What is more surprising is that this also affectrd on human white blood cells. Thus Brolico was developed! We have developed methods for concentrating the broccoli effect 10 times and obtained international patent under Tokyo University Graduate School, and our company, as well as Genome Medical, Doctor Kansui's related company.

Newly established a laboratory – A new epoch will begin as a medical maker

As you can see, we are a fresh face in the Medical and Health supplier field. Our new laboratory has just opened in this year. We are starting a new page in history!

We plan to establish a foundation in which we can provide for the many needs of the healthcare industry, such as analytical reports of resources/products, along with development and investigation.
We will continue working to develop, produce, and distribute products to the numerous health-conscious people of the world.
