The Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA; Chairman: Yasushi Okada) is pleased to announce the renewal of its website.
The new website URL: https://www.jpma.or.jp

Thirteen years have passed since its launch in 2008, and the environment surrounding the website has changed dramatically. The new website is oriented toward a screen structure and design that is easier for visitors to view and easier for them to search, taking into account changes in the development of digital technology and improvements in the communications environment.

1. significant usability improvements

～Providing information seekers with the content they need more easily and quickly

On the top page, dedicated entrances such as "General Visitors/Patients" and "Information from the Committee" were placed according to the demographics of the viewers, so that visitors can quickly find the information they are looking for.
In addition, a navigation system has been placed above the top page to make it easier for visitors to find information according to their purpose of browsing. The navigation is now displayed under "Featured Content," "About Pharmaceuticals," "Information from the Committee," "About JPMA," "Newsroom," and " The Office of Pharmaceutical Industry Research," making it easier for visitors to access information.
In addition, the "Site Search" function has been enhanced to facilitate access to specific data and materials that you are looking for.

2. Top page renewal

～The new home page presents the JPMA's latest activities and focus themes in an easy-to-understand visual format.

The top page, which is the "face" of the JPMA website, has been redesigned and reorganized to present the latest information on the JPMA's focus themes and the latest information it wishes to deliver to society in an easy-to-understand manner.
The most prominent visual on the top page now switches between three to five themes. At the bottom of the page are switching information titles (frames), which deliver the latest news, proposals, educational videos, event reports, and other information.

3. adaptation to the latest digital environment

~ For ease of use, display stress-free, and safe use by all

The new website has been adapted to the current digital environment in terms of "accessibility" and "security.
To address web accessibility, we have adopted fonts and formats that incorporate the concept of universal design, making it easier to access and use information regardless of the age or physical condition of the person viewing the site. The old website was not designed for smartphones, but the new site is fully smartphone compatible and can be viewed comfortably from any device.
For security, SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) has been installed throughout the site to make it safer to use.

JPMA will continue to use the new website to deliver the information users need in a timely manner, and will also focus on publicity activities linked to the website. By appropriately disseminating information on pharmaceuticals and the pharmaceutical industry, we will contribute to the development of the industry and the improvement of health and medical care for people around the world.
