Of the major social issues in healthcare, we have chosen to focus on 3 key fields: Cardiovascular disease, Respiratory disease and Pain management. Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, particularly strokes and heart attacks. On an annual basis, 17.5 million patients suffer cerebral and cardiac events. Estimated global expenditure in this field totals ¥120 trillion. The primary form of respiratory disease is asthma. An estimated 440 million people suffer from asthma globally. This is also a condition that is exacerbated by economic development as industrialization leads to a deterioration in air quality. The number of patients is increasing globally. Longer life expectancies have led to a greater need for pain management. Many elderly people with orthopedic conditions are living with chronic pain as a part of their daily lives. Total expenditures for pain management, including oral and topical analgesics for Japan and the US alone total ¥2.4 trillion. Treatments in this area range from oral compounds to the use of devices like those provided by OMRON. Against the backdrop of rising medical expenditures, OMRON is focusing on contributing to these three fields: cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease and pain management.
