Designing Medical Diversity – Introducing Japanese Herbal Medicine ‘Kampo’ in the UK
September 2010 – June 2012Communication Design, Research, Interactionhttp://www.kampouk.org
How can Japanese herbal medicine ‘Kampo’ be introduced to young adults in London ? @ MA Communication Design, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design
But…Almost No Info Although, there is an increasing number of people interested in Kampo medicine, there was almost no information portal provided in English in the UK.
Project rationale
80%Over 80% of doctors presecribe Kampo medicine in Japan.
20More than 20 practitioners prescribe Kampo in the UK.
ISJKMInternational Society for Japanese Kampo Medicine was founded in 2009.
Kampo Medicine A possible outcome of these activities could be altering the current status and usage of Kampo in the UK, and Complementary and Alternative Medicine more generally.
Raise Aware-ness of CAM in the UKUK has experienced an increase of Complementary and Alternative Medicine since the late ’90s.

Kampo app & website
App delivers Kampo medicine’s professional knowledge for reseachers and academics. It interactively links information of medical formulas and herbs with simple but intuitive visual interfaces. The website kampouk.org introduces basic knowledge of Kampo to the audience in the UK. It also works as a publication hub of the UK Kampo Association.
