POMk (Popularization Of Medical Knowledge) is dedicated to making medical knowledge accessible to everyone. We go beyond providing fragmented information about diseases – our mission is to improve society’s overall health through comprehensive education about how our bodies work and how diseases develop.
Our Approach
We deliver this knowledge through:
- Interactive classes for elementary and middle school students
- Educational seminars for adults
- Consistent, systematic learning opportunities about body systems and disease mechanisms
Meeting Modern Healthcare Needs
The Changing Healthcare Landscape
Since Japan’s mid-Showa period (1950s-1970s), people largely relied on medical professionals to make all their healthcare decisions. However, today’s medical environment requires patients to:
- Understand their medical conditions
- Make informed decisions about their treatment options
- Actively participate in their healthcare journey
Evolution of Healthcare Challenges
Healthcare has evolved from focusing primarily on:
- Acute infectious diseases requiring immediate hospital treatment
- Lifestyle-related diseases requiring ongoing management and daily health practices
Why POMk Matters Now
Today’s society demands that citizens have:
- Basic understanding of human body systems
- Knowledge of disease mechanisms
- Practical ability to apply this knowledge in daily life
POMk Project aims to democratize medical knowledge that was previously confined to healthcare professionals. By making this essential information widely available, we work toward improving the health of society as a whole.
Our goal is to create a society where everyone has the knowledge they need to:
- Make informed healthcare decisions
- Maintain better daily health practices
- Actively participate in their medical care
- Understand and implement preventive health measures
