transcosmos Moves Into Public Health Technology

transcosmos has launched a new health promotion support service aimed squarely at Japanese local governments, aligned with the government’s Health Japan 21 third term running from 2024 to 2035. This is not a policy announcement. It is an execution play.

The service acts as a one stop operational layer for public health programs. It covers planning, citizen outreach, health focused app development, incentive design, ongoing support, and outcome measurement. At the core is a digital health point system that rewards healthier behavior and links those points to regional digital currencies. The idea is simple. Nudge better habits while keeping local economies active.

A notable aspect is inclusion. transcosmos plans smartphone training programs for elderly citizens and others less comfortable with digital tools, addressing a real barrier in public sector DX. The company also plans to expand into data driven health insights, including lifestyle impact visualization, personalized recommendations, and health risk prediction based on checkup and behavior data.

The Kunitachi City project in Tokyo, launched in late 2024 under a Pay For Success model, shows how this can work in practice. The wider view is unmistakable. The authorities are after quantifiable results, not just visibility tactics. Companies that are able to merge health, data, incentives, and administration are filling that void.
