MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc., the holistic healthcare company (Headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Kouji Eguchi, NASDAQ CM: MRM)( “the Company”),taps into the US market with “MOTHER Bracelet” , the First Activity Tracker in the World* that does not require recharging.Prior to officially entering into the US market, the company is implementing test marketing through one of the major crowdfunding platforms in the United States“Indiegogo”.  <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/c27f17ff041a434e99da466b2bbeaf1f/1371.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"></figure> Activity Trackers are typically used  to check what lifestyle habits you haveand to help you monitor health data 24/7 in order to achieve your health goals. However, because most devices require charging, it prevents you from tracking your health data 24/7. You might even forget to put it on after charging and leave it behind.  This is one of the major problems seen in activity trackers. MOTHER Bracelet is a solution to this as it is self-chargingBy utilizing hybrid charging from temperature difference and solar energy, it will charge continuously on its own. This major feature of the MOTHER Bracelet enables users to track health data for 24 hours,  365 days. You will notr lose data because you do not need to take it off for charning.  In 2021, MOTHER Bracelet successfully raised JPY 56 million on the Japanese crowdfunding site, MAKUAKE, ending in the 1st place in the healthcare gadgets category. The Company is set to open its pre-launching site in May 2023, and start the crowdfunding campaign in June 2023. <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/69d7ccfa02f44746a939d7b4b5a118c6/1372.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"></figure> <a href="https://global.mother-bracelet.com/">https://global.mother-bracelet.com/</a> ■ About MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc.

MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. taps into U.S. market with  “MOTHER Bracelet”, the World’s First Activity Tracker in the World* that does not require recharging ～Launchting a crowdfunding campaign via Indiegogo in June～

MEDIROM to facilitate  development of Artra Group&apos;s own application using MOTHER Bracelet®︎, a smart tracker that does not require recharging, to enhance services at orthopedic and acupuncture clinics operated by Artra Group, aiming for 10,000 users. MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq CM: MRM), a holistic healthtech Company based in Japan (hereinafter the “Company”), and Artra Group Corporation, a provider of support services for osteopathic clinics and acupuncture clinics, have agreed on forming a business alliance to introduce MOTHER Bracelet®︎, a smart tracker developed by the Company that does not require recharging, into their clinics providing orthopedic, acupuncture and massage-related services (hereinafter &apos;treatment centers&apos;). The business is first projected to start in June 2023 at HONETSUGI Osteopathic Clinics operated by Artra Group, with the aim to serve 10,000 clients of the  treatment centers which are A-COM members. Through the business alliance, the Company will provide an SDK (Software Development Kit) for the development of Artra Group&apos;s own application.The  application offers services such as customized treatment proposals, visualization of treatment results and progress, and scheduling  revisits based on the user’s health metrics obtained from MOTHER Bracelet®︎, . In addition, Artra Group will be also selling MOTHER Bracelet®︎ as a distributor to the clients at its clinics. MOTHER Bracelet®︎ is a smart tracker equipped with the patented cutting-edge &apos;Thermal Power Generation&apos; technology by Matrix Industries, Inc. of Silicon Valley, USA. MOTHER Bracelet®︎ is the world&apos;s only smart tracker that can measure basic types of healthcare data, including the number of steps (distance), sleep, calories burned, heart rate, and body temperature, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without recharging. Since recharging is not required, there is no downtime and data loss.<figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/0b8a67b6df5c48099b7f9c37591f2a73/1304.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"></figure> ・The prospects of orthopedic and acupuncture clinics with the MOTHER Bracelet  There is a difficulty making an objective evaluation of the patient&apos;s recovery after treatment, as it depends largely on the patient&apos;s own subjective opinion. If objective facts are shared with patients, such as &apos;increase of the deep sleep ratio&apos; using the smart tracker data, patients&apos; satisfaction and trust are likely to increase, leading to better health outcomes and willingness for repeat visits and demand for health services on a long-term basis. Since MOTHER Bracelet®︎ allows open sharing of the user’s health data, including heart rate, activity level, body surface temperature, and etc, it enables treatment centers to understand better the health status of their patients, leading to more accurate and customized treatment and guidance. We are aiming to promote users’ health with this cutting-edge technology. ■About the MOTHER Bracelet®︎, a smart tracker that does not require rechargingMOTHER Bracelet®︎ is the first in the world* self-powered smart tracker that does not require recharging. The state of the art power generation technology from Silicon Valley, U.S.A., is installed within MOTHER Bracelet®︎ to power it from the temperature difference between skin surface temperature and outside air. Due to being recharge-free, MOTHER Bracelet®︎ eliminates data loss happening when a device is taken off for recharging. Five basic types of health data (steps, quality of sleep, calories burned, heart rate, and body temperature) can be recorded with this single device.*Intellectual Property Rights given to the Smart Tracker utilizing the Seebeck effect, identified by WPO, PATENTSCOPE, Science and Technology Center, J-GLOBAL, J-PlatPat.

Development of Digital Therapeutics for Postpartum Depression using health data collected by the MOTHER Bracelet®︎. <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/ba66a7224b124092b19a88ed61b4d471/1116.png" alt="" width="1253" height="703"></figure> MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq CM: MRM), a holistic healthcare Company based in Japan (the “Company”), signed today a comprehensive business agreement with Social Service Inc. (“Social Service”) to develop Digital Therapeutics (DTx) for Postpartum Depression (PPD).Developed by the Company, “The MOTHER Bracelet®︎”, a wearable health-tracking bracelet that self-charges, will be implemented in a collaborative program with Social Service. Postpartum depression, which is often unrecognized and can go on for months untreated, will be evaluated based on biometrics measured by the MOTHER Bracelet. Combined with a personalized score (developed by the Company’s checklist), this project intends to establish a supplementary diagnostic system for the early detection of PPD. Through this system, the Company aims to alleviate social isolation and create a more parenting friendly society where postpartum depression-related incidents, which were previously noticed only after serious accidents, will be effectively prevented. Development of DTx by Social Service for postpartum depression is a two-step process.In the initial step, health data (steps, quality of sleep, calories burned, heart rate, body temperature) collected by the MOTHER Bracelet, will be transferred to Social Service with the user&apos;s consent (Social Service are charged the SDK usage per account).Social Service defines depression state based on received health data. Additionally, taking into account that physical and mental stress are not interchangeable, as well as personality differences affect stress response, the Company will classify and distinguish personality features using qualitative score to analyze data comprehensively and provide more advanced and accurate postpartum depression diagnosis. In the second step, a therapeutic intervention program for postpartum depression will be provided*.*Reference to the FDA-approved digital therapeutic for postpartum depression by Woebot Health in the US 1. 24/7 recharge-free health data collection with the MOTHER BraceletWith being almost unnoticeably lightweight and self-charging, the MOTHER Bracelet&apos;s biggest advantage is continuous and uninterrupted 24/7 health monitoring. 2. Postpartum Depression: Current StatusDepression diagnosis and screening are usually done by a physician based on physical examination. However, it is difficult for many new mothers to visit a health clinic. With the estimated number of births reaching 810,000 in 2021, a significant number of depression conditions are likely to be underdiagnosed and undertreated. ※Citation: Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare　<a href="https://www.mhlw.go.jp/toukei/saikin/hw/jinkou/geppo/nengai21/dl/gaikyouR3.pdf">https://www.mhlw.go.jp/toukei/saikin/hw/jinkou/geppo/nengai21/dl/gaikyouR3.pdf </a> 3.  Early diagnosis of postpartum depression to solve social issuesIncreased evidence suggests that postpartum depression can be alleviated or prevented from progression through the supportive relationships and social connections. Depression awareness should not be limited to a patient only, but shared with relatives, e.g. husband or father with a patient&apos;s consent. While the care routines for infants and toddlers, including constantly meeting the child&apos;s immediate needs, are both mentaly and physically stressful, they can be effectively changed into a positive experience by preventing isolation and burnout with appropriate social support. We are aiming to develop new digital health therapeutics that will promote a better and mutually-supportive society. ■Postpartum Depression: Service Overview <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/94d671fa22964418b5a82cc54db505f5/1153.png" alt="" width="907" height="501"></figure> ■The MOTHER Bracelet®︎ <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/7198c827a70240328df136fd314621ea/1156.png" alt="" width="1920" height="1080"></figure> The MOTHER Bracelet®︎ is the first* in the world self-powered Activity Tracker that does not require recharging.

However, there was an issue in providing accurate advice due to the downtime from charging. What we needed was &apos;lifestyle data for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year&apos; and a device that would focus on health management. Therefore, we set out to develop a device that would overcome the problem of having to remove the device to charge. Four years later, we have finally developed MOTHER Bracelet, an activity meter that does not require recharging.

MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. launched its Product Website for 「MOTHER Bracelet」, the First Activity Tracker in the World* that does not require recharging.

Purpose of MEDIROM&apos;s participation as the main sponsor <figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/76b145dce8dc4fab954a007809cc28b0/466.gif" alt="" width="222" height="148"></figure>MEDIROM&apos;s vision since its founding is to be a healthcare general trading company that provides comprehensive services from disease prevention to treatment. As part of such efforts the company is operating Re.Ra.Ku PRO running stations in Takebashi and Nagatacho in Tokyo It is the company’s belief that offering various opportunities to exercise is critical to promote  health, and triathlon events in particular provide them with a strong affinity among the participants. As health awareness has been increasing during the pandemic, the company  has decided to become the main sponsor of the event from 2022 in order to support the triathletes and expand the customer base of MEDIROM.In addition, the company went public on the Nasdaq market at the end of 2020, and it recognizes that sponsoring the Honolulu Triathlon, which will be held in the United States (Hawaii), would be a good opportunity for the company to strengthen its branding in the United States and increase the brand recognition. As a company that promotes health, it plans to collaborate with Atholina to offer special benefits to participants.Special offers and support will be announced on the event website as they become available. 【Outline of the Honolulu Triathlon 2022 】Sponsor : ATHLONIA Corp.Date : May 15, 2022 (Sunday)Place : Ala Moana Beach Park Events: 【Olympic Distance] Individual / Relay Swim 1.5KM / Bike 40KM / Run 10KM【Sprint Distance】 Individual / Relay Swim 750M / Bike 20KM / Run 5KM【Junior】 Age 16-19  Swim 750M / Bike 20KM / Run 5KM 【Youth】Age 11-15 years old Swim 375M / Bike 10KM / Run 2.5KM【Kids】Age 9-10 Swim 200M / Bike 3KM / Run 1KM Age 7-10 Swim 100M / Bike 10KM / Run 2.5KM Bike and run distances for kids (age 7-10)are subject to change.

MEDIROM Segregates Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries by Functions

New York May 21, 2021 - MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (NasdaqCM: MRM), headquartered in Tokyo, Japan (&apos;MEDIROM&apos;), today announced that the Company has entered into a Master Manufacturing Agreement with Sanei Electronics Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan (&apos;Sanei&apos;), with respect to the production of the Company’s MOTHER Tracker®︎, an activity tracker (hereinafter referred as &apos;MOTHER Tracker®︎&apos;), and has commenced preparations for production and shipment. Sanei is subcontracting with Canon Electronics Co., Ltd., Chichibu, Japan (“Canon Electronics”) for part of the production. MOTHER Tracker®︎ is the world&apos;s first smart bracelet equipped with the patented &apos;thermoelectric energy” technology invented by Matrix Industries, Inc., located in Menlo Park, California. It allows the device to be powered and driven semi-permanently by the body heat of its wearer, eliminating the need for separate charging. This overcomes the longstanding challenge of wearable devices with limited charge duration.  Launched by the Company in 2020 at CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in the United States, MEDIROM believes that MOTHER Tracker®︎ is currently the only activity tracker designed to measure heart rate, body temperature, activity, sleep, and calories burned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without the need to remove for separate charging. The Agreement provides a general foundation for Sanei to commence manufacturing, with detailed terms to be set forth in separate purchase orders. “By collaborating with Sanei, which has been providing technical support and selling electronic components for more than 50 years, couple with Sanei’s subcontracting with Canon Electronics, which has solid technological capabilities and is responsible for numerous MADE IN JAPAN products, we believe this business alliance will realize operational efficiency, cost reduction, and quality improvement, with expected high-quality manufacturing. Together with Sanei and Canon Electronics, we look forward to making a global impact on people’s health and well-being with MOTHER Tracker®︎,” commented MEDIROM CEO, Kouji Eguchi. Although MEDIROM initially expected the activity tracker to be manufactured outside of Japan, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted potential difficulties in managing an overseas production process. Consequently, the Company decided to contract with local Japanese manufacturers for initial production. “Canon Electronics has long been known for its high-standard manufacturing, service, and brand power in developing, producing, and selling precision machinery, information equipment, and other products and has been highly valued by customers for more than 60 years. Canon has been quick to respond to the needs of specialized fields, such as stability of accuracy, time reduction, and user-friendly operation,” noted Mr. Eguchi.  “We believe that this partnership will prove successful for both companies and look forward to further collaboration opportunities.”  About MOTHER Tracker®︎<figure><img src="https://images.microcms-assets.io/assets/9edf8dbea622483096fe2cacad989656/1109a921d81c43c0aafb343fb0bb3c1b/674.png" alt="" width="1024" height="576"></figure>The Company believes that MOTHER Tracker®︎ is the world&apos;s first next-generation tracker powered by the user&apos;s body temperature, so as to eliminate the need for separate off-body charging. Using thermoelectric energy technology, which captures temperature differentials (known as the Seebeck effect) and creates usable thermal energy, the device is designed to measure the user&apos;s activity, sleep and calories burned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, without the need to remove for separate charging.  In addition, MOTHER Tracker®︎ is expected to facilitate the delivery of device-acquired data directly to healthcare providers. In order to make it easy to collect data from the device, the Company intends to provide a Software Development Kit, or SDK, for solution partners.  This is expected to allow solution partners, including healthcare providers, to directly incorporate the tracking data into their services. The Company hopes that the MOTHER Tracker®︎ will contribute to the development of more efficient services by health-related industries, including operators of nursing care services and fitness services and operators requiring health information such as public transportation and others.  Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements may include estimates or expectations about our possible or assumed operational results, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunities, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities.  In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “design,” “target,” “aim,” “hope,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “goal,” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes.  These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
