CureApp and HIKARI LAB have began offering the “ascureSPARX
Mental Health Program”: A doctor developed application based on cognitive
behavior therapy and online counseling.
The “ascureSPARX Mental Health Program” is a psychological
care and counseling program that combines a “doctor developed application” and “online
counseling”. It provides psychological care based on cognitive behavioral
therapy that has been proven to be effective but is said to be difficult to practice. The program’s specialized application has
been highly evaluated overseas through medical evidence (* 1) provided by “SPARX”
and is intended to be used for the improvement of Japanese adults via expert
supervision and mental counseling.
Mental health care can be practiced easily and enjoyably via a game based on cognitive behavioral therapy. In addition, regular counseling is provided by qualified individuals with guidance counseling experience conducted online without the burden of having to attend a clinic. By closely linking an application that is easy to begin and continue to use with online counseling, we are able to provide individual support to people in an effortless manner.

According to the Ministry
of Health, Labor and Welfare’s evaluation standards, approximately 10% of all
employees are diagnosed as high stress individuals. However, it has been stated
that among those employees who received stress checks, only 0.6% had interviews
that provided guidance from a medical professional (Ministry of Health, Labor
and Welfare, Occupational Health Division (July, 2008)). ascureSPARX is a new
solution to this issue that uses the power of technology to contribute to corporate
mental health measures. It allows those high stress individuals who are unable
to have interview sessions with a doctor to work on their stress related issues.
* This program and
dedicated application are not medical instruments. The diagnosis and prevention
of disease, treatment, suppression, etc. * are not guaranteed. Medication will
be purchased from a pharmacist etc. after information pertaining to said medication
has been provided.
Regarding the specialized
application “ascureSPARX”, SPARX is a national project created in New Zealand. It
is an RPG game based on the concept of cognitive behavioral therapy developed
by a research team at the University of Auckland and has received high praise
internationally having won the “International Digital Award” sponsored by UN
and UNESCO as well as the “World Summit Award”. The Japanese version of this
exclusive application “ascureSPARX” is currently being announced and has been upgraded
to suit the Japanese work environment.

The aim of a “treatment application®︎” is to create a new effective treatment
through analysis and guidance provided by an application that uses medical
knowledge and evidence based on the daily treatment course of each patient. It
also has the possibility to contribute to the improvement of conditions by
encouraging the development of the habitual aspects of a patient by
transforming their awareness and behavior. We have began clinical trials early in Japan, and have also began developing applications for multiple diseases.
In addition, based on the models produced
in Japan, we plan to proceed by expanding globally with “Digital Health
Solutions from Japan”.
