On November 2023, 11, Keio University Educational Corporation opened a preventive medical care center at the Azabudai Hills complex in Minato Ward, Tokyo.The center will be expanded and relocated from Keio University Hospital in Shinjuku Ward, and will be used as a base for preventive medical care such as health checkups.

 According to Keio University, the Preventive Medical Center was opened on the 5th and 6th floors of Mori JP Tower.The new facility will be approximately 3,900 square meters in size, approximately twice as large as the previous facility within the university hospital.

 In addition to the basic course aimed at early detection of lifestyle-related diseases, we have made it possible to customize the examination items of the medical checkup in response to the diversification of medical examination needs.You can freely combine 8 specialized tests such as heart/vascular and brain imaging, and 19 individual tests such as sleep apnea tests and Holter electrocardiograms.We have also started a new membership service, with a specialized team working closely with each member to provide ongoing preventive medical care.

 Preventive medicine in Japan is considered to be more advanced than in Europe and the United States.Keio University actively accepts foreigners living in the Azabudai Hills area, hoping to take this as a step towards future international expansion.Keio University President Kohei Ito said in a statement, ``We want to practice futuristic preventive medicine to extend healthy life expectancy.''
