The Future Co-Creation Laboratory of Japan System Techniques Co., Ltd. (JAST) and Haruka Kato, a senior lecturer at the School of Human Life and Ecology of Osaka Metropolitan University, are conducting a joint research program concerning healthcare that utilizes medical big data. As part of this program, JAST and Mr. Kato have announced the results of an analysis using JAST's REZULT medical big data platform to study how a new railway station lowers expenditures for healthcare. The details are as per attached.

This matter will have only a negligible effect on JAST's results of operations. An announcement will be made promptly if there is any additional information that should be disclosed. The Future Co-Creation Laboratory the Future Co-Creation Laboratory.

The Future Co-Created Laboratory of Japan System Techniques Co. Ltd. (JAST)and Haruka Kato, a Senior lecturer at the School of human Life and Ecology of Osaka MetropolitanUniversity, are conducting a joint research programs concerning healthcare that utilizes medical bigdata. As part of this program., JAST and Mr. Kata and Mr. Kato have announce the results of an analysis usingJAST's REZULT medicalBig data platform to study how a New Railway Station.

For this analysis, Sojiji Station was used as the example for a study of how a new station can lower healthcare expenditures. Sojiji Station is on the JR Line in the Osaka prefecture city of Ibaraki. By using the REZULT medical big data platforms, analysis resulted in a statistically significant decline of 99,257 (95% confidence interval of 62,119 to 136,194 JPY) in cumulative healthcare expenditures of residents living near Sojiji Station during the first four years after the station opened.

The results of this research program were reported in the online version of Journal of Transport & Health dated April 9, 2024. Osaka Metropolitan University performs the role of an urban think tank that has a broad range of knowledge concerning large cities. By using the evidence based policy-making (EBPM) methodology, research teams at the university are developing methods for assessing the social impact of community creation projects.

This research program took place in Osaka, where the population is declining as Japan's population ages and the number of children decreases. work resulted in a very important method for using healthcare expenditures to evaluate the social impact of community creation project. As Japan's population declines, the country is implementing the Compact Plus Network policy for the realignment of large cities including their public transportation networks centered on railway stations.

New stations can have many effects, such as an increase in real estate prices. Based on the population approach, adding stations has been shown to significantly alter the activities of nearby residents. However, it was not known until now if new stations are able to hold down healthcare expenditures of these residents, which has the potential of helping slow the current rapid growth of these expenditures in Japan.

Activities are under way to develop new preventive healthcare programs for extending healthy life expectancy and to determine ways to improve the quality of life of people of all ages. The objective is to make a contribution to the entire healthcare sector by using research projects conducted with local governments, companies and other partners. The results of this research programs will be used for joint programs by companies and academic institutions for the development of methods to assess the social impact railway stations and other components of neighborhood creation activities that are part of smart city projects.

The Future Co-Creation Laboratory of JAST is engaged in the co-creation digital transformation (DX) by using partnerships with companies, academic institutions and local governments. Activities involve the development of new products and services by using JAST's REZULT medical big data platform and working closely with partners and customers. Main objectives are the growth of data held by JAST and its corporate value and the creation of more methods for solving the problems of customers.

Operations of The Future Co-Creation Laboratory also contribute to accomplishing Sustainable Development Goals number three, good health and well-being, and nine, industry, innovation and infrastructure. These activities include the use of medical big data to enable people to stay healthy and the use of alliances with the academic sector for joint research and the development of products.
