2025.10.06Notice of the launch of “Medicil,” a disease information website specializing in rare and intractable diseases

This year, we launched a new disease information awareness website, Medicil. The name “Medicil” is derived from the Japanese word “Medical + Shiru = Medicil,” meaning "to know medical information”.
The site is a new medical information platform that aims to provide highly reliable information, especially on rare diseases, rare cancers, and intractable diseases, in an easy-to-understand format with content centered on videos.

Background and Objectives

For 37 years, we have supported the information provision activities of pharmaceutical companies. During this time, we have heard many comments from patients and their families, such as “I want to know about the disease, but it is difficult to find information,” or "The medical terminology is difficult to understand.
In fact, approximately 53.4% of patients with designated intractable diseases have experienced “difficulty in gathering information about the disease, indicating that existing information sites have not been sufficient to solve the problem.
Medicil “was developed with the concept of” Ease of understanding like never before" in order to meet these challenges.

Main features of Medicil

1. Provide visual and user-friendly information through video clips.
   • Intuitively understandable content that avoids the use of medical terminology.
   • Characters are used according to the subject of the disease to create a sense of friendliness.
2. Disease search function
   • Diseases can be searched by “symptoms” or “disease site”. Even if you do not know the name of the disease, you can reach the necessary information.
3. Patient Association Links
   • Patient association information is posted on each disease page with permission. The site provides not only information but also supports the connection among patients and their ideas for their daily lives.
4. Expansion of awareness through SNS
   • We provide opportunities for disease awareness through YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram.

Solutions for Pharmaceutical Companies

Medicil also offers a variety of solutions to support pharmaceutical companies in their disease awareness activities more effectively.

• Production of original videos (from scenario development to supervision)
• Posting videos and advertisements on Medicil and SNS
• Traffic induction to your website
• Promotion in two media and specialized in pediatrics in collaboration with “Growth Ring,” a membership site for pediatricians（https://growthring.healthcare/）operated by Medical Collective Intelligence Co., Ltd.

Our Vision for the Future

We plan to continue to expand the video content for the following diverse diseases in the future:
・Malignant melanoma/IBD, etc.
We will strive to lower the barriers to medical information and provide disease information that is “easy to understand and access” for everyone.
