Every 20 seconds, someone in the world loses a leg to diabetes. This is not a statistic. It's a life, a family, a future, irrevocably changed.
For too long, this tragedy has been shrouded in silence and misunderstanding, often dismissed as a matter of "self-responsibility." But this is not a personal failure. It is a societal crisis that we can, and must, solve together.
We are SECOND HEART. A health-tech company from Japan on a mission to end diabetic foot amputations. This is not just our story. This is our promise to the world. Join us.
1. The Silent Epidemic: Shifting the Narrative
The narrative that diabetes complications are a result of personal choice is a convenient fiction, but a dangerous one. It isolates patients, delays critical care, and absolves society of its responsibility. The truth is, access to proper preventive care is a complex challenge, determined by geography, economic status, and health literacy.
Our founder, a clinical engineer, witnessed this reality firsthand. He saw countless patients who, with the right support at the right time, could have kept their feet, their mobility, and their dignity. This is where our journey began: with the conviction that we must build a system that empowers, not blames. We are shifting the focus from blame to prevention, from individual responsibility to collective action.
2. Our Solution: "Steplife" - Technology with a Human Heart
To turn our conviction into reality, we created "Steplife," our AI-powered platform for diabetic foot care. It's more than just software; it's a lifeline.
By simply taking a photo of their feet with a smartphone, patients and healthcare providers can detect early warning signs of complications that are often invisible to the naked eye. Our AI analyzes the images, providing objective data that enables remote monitoring and timely intervention.
Steplife connects patients, clinics, and hospitals, creating a seamless network of care that was previously impossible. It brings specialized knowledge to underserved areas and empowers every healthcare professional to become a foot care expert. This is how we make prevention accessible to all.
3. From Japan to the World: Our Global Commitment
Our mission began in Japan, but our vision knows no borders. The burden of diabetic foot disease is even heavier in developing nations, particularly in Southeast Asia. We are committed to bringing our technology where it is needed most.
With the support of the Japanese government, we are establishing our first international base in Malaysia, working hand-in-hand with local communities and healthcare systems. Our goal is not simply to export a product, but to co-create sustainable solutions that are tailored to local needs. We believe in building a global coalition of hope and action.
