person-driven healthcare
Creation of a society in which health care information is collected on an individual basis and distributed across companies and industries by individuals at their own will and authority
Health Information Engineering
From the perspective of corporate health management, we propose a platform to utilize personal health information and develop initiatives that contribute to extending healthy life expectancy and reducing medical costs in society.

IntaSect Activities
IntaSect has been developing systems since its inception, and began working in the healthcare field around 2016, establishing the Healthcare IoT Consortium after a joint proposal to the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) with the University of Tokyo, Osaka University, Nuture Networks, and others. The consortium is mainly engaged in the development of “health information” and “health information technology” for corporate clients. The Consortium is mainly responsible for “building a secure IoT platform for distributing health information across companies and industries. Furthermore, in 2017, the Consortium expanded its activities by establishing the Joint Research Chair in Health Information Engineering at Osaka University.
Healthcare IoT Consortium
The Healthcare IoT Consortium aims to build a “data distribution infrastructure” and an “IoT platform” that allows individuals to collect data on their health, behavior, environment, etc., and manage, operate, and utilize it under their own authority, thereby creating a society where individuals can improve their quality of life by “raising health awareness and changing behavior”. The goal is to create a society where the quality of life can be improved by raising health awareness and changing behavior. To this end, this cross-industry organization aims to revitalize healthcare-related industries, support the creation of new demand, and furthermore, improve the economic efficiency of national healthcare. It was established in September 2016, led by the University of Tokyo, Hokkaido University, Hiroshima City University, Nuture Networks Inc. and IntaSect Communications Inc.
The Healthcare IoT Consortium has three missions
01
02
Healthcare Data Distribution
Building a secure IoT platform to distribute health information across companies and industries
03
Behavior Change and Quality of Life Improvement
Provide services that motivate individuals to provide health care data and make behavioral changes to improve their own health.
At IntaSect, we continue to focus on building secure IoT platforms for distributing healthcare data by leveraging our own system development and IoT technology expertise.
Joint Research with Osaka University
From April 2017 to March 2022, we established the Joint Research Chair in Health Information Engineering within the Graduate School of Engineering Science at Osaka University to conduct research and technology development on health risk prediction and its control (behavior change).
In the joint research course, students learned how to construct a system to collect biometric information using wearable devices such as wristwatch-type smartwatches, as well as how to analyze the collected data to understand the health status of users and to predict the onset of diseases.
Currently, we continue to collaborate with the Kiyono Laboratory (Prof. Ken Kiyono) of the Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University.
Aiming for Health Management
Health management in companies is essential for promoting employee health and improving organizational performance. A healthy workplace increases productivity and improves employee satisfaction and motivation. Preventive programs and telemedicine help manage health risks and reduce healthcare costs. It is also a corporate social responsibility, and employee health is directly related to the sustainable success of the organization.
IntaHealth is a healthcare application developed by IntaSect. In addition to acquiring activity data using a wearable device, it allows users to input their weight, blood pressure, blood glucose level, diet, and other data. We aim to build such a platform that collects various health information, accumulates and analyzes it as big data, and feeds back information to users for the maintenance and promotion of health.
