ウェルネス

株式会社ウェルネス (Wellness) is a Tokyo-based preventive medicine company operating a personal doctor service and an accompanying personalized prevention app. Its consumer service, Wellness Membership, bundles a customized comprehensive health checkup (order-made 人間ドック), longitudinal accumulation of the member's health data, face-to-face and chat consultations, referral and coordination with specialists, and health consultations for family members. Treatment itself is excluded; when insured care is required, the company supports referral to an appropriate medical institution.

The service model is framed around three steps: measuring current status through a checkup designed around individual risk, accumulating yearly data so that changes rather than absolute values form the basis for judgement, and delegating interpretation and next steps to a named personal doctor who remains assigned to the member over time. The company states its care team consists of doctors with disclosed names and clinical backgrounds, including representative director and general-practice physician 中田航太郎, chief doctor and neurosurgeon 佐藤邦智, and gastroenterologist 松田悠司. Published member cases describe findings such as thyroid cancer, early pancreatic cancer, vertebral artery dissection, early colorectal cancer and kidney inflammation identified through added or repeated testing.

At the corporate level, Wellness describes itself as building a "Personalized Preventive Care Platform" that aggregates fragmented health data into a single lifelong record, analyses it in an integrated, evidence-based manner, and proposes individually optimized health actions. Its stated mission is "Wellness for all" and its vision is to eliminate preventable regret through preventive medicine. Business activities are listed as preventive medicine, engineering and design. The company also runs an owned media property, Wellness Magazine, and organizes member events such as regional food-and-nature journeys.

Founding story

The company was established on 20 June 2018 and is led by representative director 中田航太郎, a general-practice physician. The membership service began operating in 2021.

Business model

Direct-to-consumer subscription membership. A single plan, Wellness Membership, is priced at 55,000 yen per month including tax, or 605,000 yen for an annual lump-sum payment (equivalent to one month free), on an annual contract that members choose whether to renew each year. The fee covers the checkup, data accumulation, consultations, specialist referral and family health consultations, but not treatment costs.

Recurring membership fees under annual contracts, billed monthly or as an annual prepayment.

Traction

About 1,200 active members as of August 2026, up each year since the service launched in 2021. Among members aged 35 and over whose annual contracts came up for renewal between June and December 2025 (excluding barter contracts and retirements), 92.4% renewed. Roughly 60% of new members in January-July 2026 joined through referral. The company states it has a doctor organization of around 50 physicians.

Latest developments

In July 2026 the company announced the Think Essential Project, beginning with a collaboration with artist 江上越, and released Wellness Magazine, a physician-supervised owned media site on well-being and longevity. Representative 中田航太郎 was interviewed in the "Wellness is Wealth" feature of the magazine OCEANS (announced May 2026). Member events in 2026 included AYU Journey Tsuwano (July 2026) and SAKE Journey Kawaba.
