About NEAUTECH

Neautech Inc. is a healthcare technology company founded in Japan on February 15, 2022, by Akihiro Mizumoto. Mizumoto, who serves as the CEO, has a background in web marketing, product management, and new business development, including experience with online medical services since 2020. The company's core offering is 'ANS.', an online dermatology service that connects users with physicians for diagnosis and treatment of skin concerns like acne, blemishes, and dullness.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model where patients receive consultations via smartphone, followed by home delivery of prescribed medications and skincare products. Neautech aims to make dermatological care more accessible, addressing the time and geographical constraints of traditional clinic visits. The 'ANS.' platform focuses on treatment continuity, providing follow-up support through chat with specialists to ensure adherence and monitor progress, which has led to high user retention. In addition to its main telehealth service, Neautech's business lines include the development and sale of its own cosmetics based on skin diagnosis data and a medical DX division focused on improving the broader healthcare experience through technology.

The company has secured significant funding to fuel its growth, including a pre-series A round of approximately 220 million JPY in October 2023, bringing its total funding to around 830 million JPY at the time. In February 2024, it announced a capital partnership with Panasonic's corporate venture capital fund, the Panasonic Kurashi Visionary Fund. This collaboration aims to leverage Panasonic's imaging and sensing technologies to enhance diagnostic services and the overall user experience on the ANS. platform.
