Trials conducted on remote health guidance over fiber optic lines
The government now requires people to receive medical checkups and health guidance focused on preventing metabolic syndrome and conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and angina, but it is difficult for some people in remote regions to reach hospitals.
To address this issue, NTT West has since February 2008 been working with the city of Nakatsugawa in Gifu Prefecture to run a trial of an ICT-based service to provide health guidance to such people.
Starting in November 2008 when FLET'S Hikari Next service was launched, we also began testing new remote health guidance services using video and other technology with NTT WEST Group employees, examining such issues as the difference between guidance provided over networks versus face-to-face consultations.

Developing support systems for public health nurses and clients
In July, 2009, NTT IT began sales of a mobile phone-based health guidance support system that combines health guidance support tools for public health nurses with a Health Diary to help people undergoing health guidance to maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
The Health Diary enables users to enter data such as steps walked, body weight, and blood pressure on their mobile phones. Based on this data, the Health Diary displays graphs, walk rankings, and other fun features designed to motivate users to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
The health guidance support tools for public health nurses include management of client schedules, health guidance content, and a point system, as well as the ability to export health guidance data into XML format.
