TOKYO--(Antara/BUSINESS WIRE)-- Saison Information Systems Co., Ltd. (JASDAQ:9640) (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President: Kazuhiro Uchida; herein, “Saison Information Systemsâ€) is the maker of HULFT, middleware for managed file transfer (MFT). Kashiwa City located in Chiba, a prefecture bordering on the east side Tokyo, Japan, will adopt HULFT for implanting a point card system to enhance civic health services as part of their “Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City†initiatives.
About Kashiwa City̢۪s Health Promotion Initiatives
The municipal government of Chiba Prefecture’s Kashiwa City is embarking on implementing a set of “Kashiwa-no-ha Smart City†initiatives as part of its ongoing town planning. The aim is to further promote longevity and help all generations to live safer and healthier lives.
A "Health Points System" will be implemented to encourage healthier lifestyle habits by letting its citizens earn points. This is part of the various activities being promoted throughout Japan by the national government to encourage citizens to take better care of their health, thereby reducing overall medical expenses.
Implementation of the "Health Points System"
MEDICA Cloud Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Ichiro Miyagawa; herein, “MEDICA Cloudâ€), develops and provides IT solutions for hospitals and clinics. The company is supporting Kashiwa City’s initiatives by providing the signage stations called Sukoyaka Links that track the physical activity of citizens such as how fa r they walked each day. Based on this data, citizens can earn points which can be exchanged for shopping certificates.
MEDICA Cloud has set up signage stations in the city̢۪s major shopping center, LaLaport KASHIWANOHA. These provide residents with health support services. Residents can get information on their health points and obtain shopping certificates without needing to use their own smartphones or PCs.
Why HULFT?
Saison Information Systems' HULFT managed file transfer (MFT) middleware was used to transfer the residents̢۪ activity data between the point card system and the signage terminals collecting the data from the activity meters.
Since the data was personal information, protection of the residents̢۪ privacy was the top priority. HULFT enabled the systems of the various organizations involved in the initiatives to be integrated efficiently while maximizing security and reliability.
