Mitsubishi Material Corporation has embarked on a groundbreaking venture in the healthcare field by establishing Dental Door Inc. This new company is set to provide the Smart Dental Checkup™ service, a cloud-based dental examination service tailored for health insurance operators. After thorough deliberation and trial offerings in collaboration with the Japan Dental Hygiene Association since December last year, Mitsubishi Material decided to launch Dental Door due to the significant business potential and future prospects identified. The official service launch is targeted for February 2024.
The Smart Dental Checkup™ is an innovative service that digitizes the dental health checkups conducted in workplaces or other group settings. It enables examinees to view detailed 3D models of their teeth and gums on their smartphones. This digitization allows for an in-depth examination that was previously difficult to achieve, offering a new level of insight into oral health.
For Mitsubishi Material, this initiative marks its first significant foray into the healthcare sector. The company aims to develop systems for the service, targeting an early realization of annual sales of 50 billion yen. This venture aligns with their mid-term management strategy from 2023 to 2030, which focuses on designing cycles for the benefit of people, society, and the planet to realize a sustainable society. With the changing societal structure and the expected growth in the life healthcare market, Mitsubishi Material aims to contribute to the enhancement of dental checkup rates and dental clinic visits, thereby enriching society through this service.
