Summary

Currently, pharmacies are facing a major transformation. The pharmacists have a role as "health care meisters" to provide various health consultations not only to the patients but also to healthy and pre-symptomatic people, and the pharmacies have great responsibilities as a "hub" of society that contributes to maintaining people's health. The goal of this project is to build a platform for the realization of next-generation pharmacies by conducting demonstration experiments and developing screening equipment that can grasp the signs of diseases and the risk of aggravation. In the future, we aim to enable next-generation pharmacies to provide appropriate care based on biometric information (vital data) acquired in all places such as houses, companies, schools, and commercial facilities.
