What is a food and daily necessities clinical study?
When you hear the term "food and daily necessities clinical study," you might think, "That sounds difficult... kind of scary... isn't it a clinical study?" However, it is a clinical study that is conducted on products such as "functional foods" and "foods for specified health uses (Tokuho)" that are found in everyday life at supermarkets and convenience stores to find out what effects the product has on your health and body and to prove its effectiveness (obtain evidence) before it is released.
For this reason, in food and daily necessities clinical study, participants do not actually take pharmaceuticals, but foods, supplements, and daily products that are being developed by major manufacturers.
Participants try new products that are under development, and undergo clinical studies like health checkups and answer surveys to collect data that will be used by production for development and research.
At Macromill, we use apps and wearable devices to collect data from real life, promoting research from new perspectives.
