Goal action plan

The basic form of the program have already been developed, and is now under arrangements for channels and targets. As we have an academic background of Hirosaki University School of Medicine, the program is fully evaluated by human studies with ethical reviews. The sociomedical usefulness of the program is measured in terms of the changes in the health literacy, the behavior or the physical condition of the subjects. Some of the results have already been published in the academic journals, and the rest will be by 2023.
