Prognosis & Nursing Care
In “prevention,” by gaining an understanding of environmental
(the living environment) and lifestyle factors, along with
genetic factors, we hope to predict future health status and
disease risk, and to encourage people to adopt optimal
lifestyles. In measuring lifestyle factors, realizing “casual
sensing” is essential; biosensors based on our semiconductor
technologies can monitor such vital signs as pulse and body
In home services for seniors, tablet devices, home-health
management and communication with families via video
phones and handwritten-input mail help bring peace of
mind and a sense that the family is close, even when far
away. In nursing care, movement assistance technology is
helping to reduce burdens on care givers, and we also
temperature, and accumulate and analyze information.
With regard to genetic factors, technological
development through joint research with research institutes
has made low-cost genome analysis possible, and we will
continue to work on means to identify potential future risk
of contracting diseases.
provide services that enable information about patients to
be shared easily among multiple medical care providers. For
example, health reports orally entered into terminals can be
recognized, automatically documented, and the information
shared with other care givers and hospitals, in support of
coordinated nursing care.
