Oishii Kenko has kicked off a joint clinical research study with Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, and the focus is not surgery or drugs. It is what happens after patients leave the hospital. Specifically, how people who undergo gastric cancer resection manage food, energy, and daily life when medical staff are no longer around.
In Japan, gastric cancer surgeries are common and treatment outcomes have improved. However, the removal of a portion or the entire stomach leads to long-term complications that do not simply cease after the patient is discharged. Patients experience weight loss, muscle loss, and fluctuating blood sugar; dumping syndrome, fatigue, and loss of appetite also result. Any of these problems may reduce the quality of life and, in some cases, even influence the continuity of chemotherapy, the frequency of cancer recurrence, and so on. Dietary therapy is the main solution, but in reality patients and families are left to figure it out on their own.
This study tests whether Oishii Kenko’s AI-based nutrition app can realistically support that gap. After discharge, patients receive meal suggestions based on the type of stomach resection and current symptoms. Early on, the focus is safe, simple food. Over time, the app adapts as intake improves. The app facilitates the logging of meals and also provides consultation with registered dietitians to patients.

In the study, researchers will utilize data such as weight, changes in diet, blood glucose fluctuations, and quality of life for analyzing purposes. The bigger signal is obvious. Digital health is moving into recovery support, not just tracking and advice.
