MUFG Bank, Fujitsu Team Up on Health Prevention Efforts

MUFG Bank, Ltd. Fujitsu Limited signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a partner. They will work together to tackle important social issues. Their focus is on promoting longer, healthier lives and improving health and productivity in companies. This collaboration wants to boost innovation in health prevention services. It will support businesses and create partnerships in the health sector.

In Japan, the growing number of older people and lifestyle diseases has led to new service solutions. These solutions use life log data, especially Personal Health Records (PHR). Even with progress, challenges still exist. The main issue is the lack of consistent frameworks. These frameworks are needed for sharing, collecting, and using health data across services.

MUFG Bank and Fujitsu are teaming up to create a strong health prevention ecosystem. MUFG brings its experience in business co-creation and global networks. Fujitsu contributes its skills in system development and data use. They will work with industry partners to make this happen.

The goal is to help people make personalized behavior changes. AI-driven recommendations can help create personalized health plans. They also promote sustainable exercise habits without causing strain.

MUFG Bank wants to use this partnership to address bigger issues. These include Japan’s low birthrate and aging population. They also aim to boost industrial innovation and growth. Fujitsu plans to use insights from this effort. They aim to create a data-sharing platform. This platform will help health-focused businesses offer personalized services. These services will be based on lifestyle and health data.

The collaboration has started. A pilot project launched on July 7, 2025. It partners with a sports gym operator and a startup that delivers food for athletes. The pilot focuses on “Exercise x Food.” It looks at how users behave with training and nutrition.
