Key Terms
performance medicinemedical
Performance medicine is a branch of healthcare that focuses on proactive, personalized care to help people achieve higher physical and mental function—think of a medical version of a personal trainer combined with a tailored check-up and recovery plan. For investors it matters because services and technologies that promise measurable, ongoing improvements (regular testing, customized treatments, subscriptions and high-margin procedures) can create repeat revenue and premium pricing in a growing market for preventative and optimization-focused health care.
blood biomarkersmedical
Blood biomarkers are measurable substances or signals in the blood that indicate a person’s health status, disease presence, or response to a treatment. For investors they matter because reliable blood markers can speed drug development, improve diagnostic tests, reduce clinical-trial risk, and create new medical products — think of them like dashboard lights or early warning beacons that help companies and regulators make faster, more certain decisions.
biological agemedical
Biological age is an estimate of how old a person’s body appears to be based on health indicators such as blood tests, cell activity, organ function and physical performance, rather than the number of years since birth. Investors care because it signals future healthcare needs, longevity and risk of costly illness—like reading a car’s wear-and-tear rather than its odometer—which affects markets for drugs, diagnostics, insurance and wellness products.
ai toolstechnical
AI tools are software systems that use machine learning and other artificial intelligence methods to analyze data, make predictions, automate tasks, or generate content without constant human direction. For investors, they matter because these tools can change a company's costs, productivity, competitive edge and risk profile—like upgrading from manual bookkeeping to a smart assistant that works faster and may reveal hidden opportunities or new threats to profits.
data-driventechnical
An approach where decisions, strategies and actions are based primarily on measured information and analysis rather than gut feeling or habit. For investors, a data-driven company or report suggests choices are backed by evidence—like a chef following a tested recipe—making performance more predictable, risks clearer and outcomes easier to track, though the value depends on the quality and relevance of the underlying data.
user experience (ux) designtechnical
The practice of shaping how people interact with a product or service, especially digital tools like websites and apps, to make those interactions intuitive, efficient and pleasant. Think of it as arranging a store so customers can find and buy what they want quickly; better design increases customer use, loyalty and sales while lowering support costs. Investors watch it because strong user experience often drives higher adoption, retention and revenue growth.
Pioneering the “Performance Medicine” category for full-scale entry into the longevity market — targeting a global market projected to reach $2 trillion by 2035
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) (“SBC Medical” or the “Company”), a Management Services Organization operating a wide range of franchise businesses across diverse medical fields, today announced “SBC Wellness 2.0,” a new wellness and longevity platform that combines aesthetic healthcare, preventative care, and data-driven health management.
SBC Medical Announces Next-Generation Wellness Strategy “SBC Wellness 2.0”
The initiative positions SBC Medical to participate in the fast-growing longevity market, which is projected to reach approximately $800 billion in 2025* and expand to approximately $2 trillion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 10% from 2026 to 2035. This strategy represents a natural extension of SBC Medical’s core business in Japan’s approximately $4 billion aesthetic healthcare market. While Japan’s domestic longevity market has already reached an estimated $34 billion, it remains in its early stages with no clear market leader, providing a significant opportunity for the Company to capture first-mover advantages. SBC Medical intends to use its existing clinic network and customer base in Japan to build recurring revenue streams and a differentiated, data-rich platform.
“Through aesthetic healthcare, we have helped many people build confidence in their appearance,” said Yoshiyuki Aikawa, CEO of SBC Medical. “What we have come to realize is that those who seek a youthful look are equally attuned to the signs of internal physical decline. SBC Wellness 2.0 was born from this insight. We are confident that only SBC Medical can deliver a standard of care that allows individuals to pursue ‘their best-ever self’ — across both appearance and physical function. We will first become the game changer in Japan’s domestic longevity market and then set our sights on the world.”

What is SBC Wellness 2.0?
SBC Wellness 2.0 focuses on prevention, physical performance, and overall health span rather than only treating disease. The service uses blood biomarkers, imaging, and AI tools to assess each customer’s condition and recommend personalized protocols that may include medical procedures, supplements, and lifestyle support. By integrating “youthful appearance” and “physical optimization,” SBC Medical establishes a new “performance medicine” category that goes beyond non-medical approaches like fitness and general supplements. The program follows a simple journey: measure key metrics, visualize biological age and risk, recommend a tailored plan, provide ongoing digital coaching, and track progress over time.
Competitive Advantages and Revenue Model
SBC Medical believes it is well-positioned in longevity, given its network of 283 clinics and about 6.5 million annual customer visits, which provide one of the largest aesthetic healthcare data sets in Japan. This large-scale data asset directly contributes to the advancement of proprietary AI models, establishing strong barriers to competitive entry. The Company operates on a medical platform that spans aesthetic healthcare procedures and insurance‑covered care and has long experience serving repeat, premium clients. Furthermore, SBC Medical’s expertise in high-value hospitality and user experience (UX) design, cultivated through its luxury clinic management, provides a meaningful advantage in meeting the needs of premium longevity customers. SBC Medical expects to commercialize Wellness 2.0 through a mix of bundled programs sold to corporations as employee‑wellness benefits and higher‑value, self‑pay medical and aesthetic healthcare services sold directly to customers. The B2B model offers corporate clients a new form of human capital investment to enhance recruitment and reduce turnover, while providing the Company with an efficient growth model with low marketing costs. Management believes this combination of subscription‑like corporate contracts and discretionary medical services can support recurring revenue, higher retention, and improved unit economics over time.
