Our company is developing a running app called "Runtrip." The primary value provided by this app is the "reward = gain" of various prizes for running and the "peer = recognition opportunity" of having a third party cheering your running. Analysis of user data indicates that these two points are important factors that influence behavior change (habituation/increased proficiency). In order to visualize the effects of health promotion based on medical evidence, we will develop a system to acquire and manage blood tests and health checkup data online using ICT and integrate it with exercise data. This system will be used to prevent lifestyle-related diseases.

| Motivation, Goals, and Ideal World | When I was a student, I participated in the Hakone Ekiden after joining a general club, but the experience was so painful that I came to hate running from the bottom of my heart. However, when I started running again as an adult, my values changed dramatically. I realized that the essence of running is not just numbers such as "time" and "distance", but that the act of running itself can make your life much richer. There are still many people who think of running as a penalty, but everyone has their own motivation for running. By creating a world where people can run more freely and enjoyably, I hope to bring a healthy and positive life to as many people as possible. |
