TOMOCO App Helps Diabetic patients to Improve Their Lifestyle

Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, a Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings (MCHC) group company, and Habitus Care have developed the healthcare application “TOMOCO” and are working together to address the social issue of diabetes. The TOMOCO health management service combines a smartphone application for users and a health guidance portal for assistance staff to provide programs that give targeted health guidance and help patients with diabetes to improve their lifestyle. The app facilitates daily record-keeping of such data as diet, exercise, medication adherence, and blood sugar levels and provides follow-up for action plans. TOMOCO supports efforts to improve lifestyle through treatment at medical facilities and specific health guidance provided by local governments and corporate health insurance associations.
