Message
We have often heard the phrase, "The disease has taken away my life." from patients.
Even if people suffer from a chronic disease that may not be cured, we want patients to avoid feeling isolated and to live a fulfilling life that they can be satisfied with. This desire led us to establish GoodTe.
We aim to support patients by addressing the daily challenges that the current medical system often overlooks, and to make their lives a little richer despite living with illness.
Origin of the Company Name
It’s our home GoodTe
GoodTe was named with the idea of creating a place where patients can connect with other patients, experts, and society, and gain their own "Good" through these connections. The name GoodTe reflects this vision of forming connections and achieving "Good."
Our Mission
Enriching the lives of those living with illness through "connection."
