J-Fronteer Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Atsuhiro Nakamura; hereinafter 'the Company') announces the launch of a new feature for its online medical consultation and medication guidance app, 'SOKUYAKU,' which allows users to search for and book clinics based on their desired time slots. ■ Background of the New Feature Development This feature enables users to search and book medical institutions based on their convenient times, in addition to medical specialty and area.

For efficiently booking based on available time: In addition to the conventional flow of 'choosing a clinic and then checking for open slots,' users can now
