Philips Japan Set to Shine at Japan Health 2025

Philips Japan, based in Tokyo and led by President Jasper Asuerus Westlink, is gearing up to make a noteworthy appearance as a platinum sponsor at the inaugural "Japan Health" international healthcare exhibition. Scheduled to take place from June 25 to 27, 2025, at Intex Osaka, this event is an official related event of the Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai.

As part of "Health and Well-Being Week," this exhibition is expected to attract a diverse range of professionals and organizations, including medical device manufacturers, startups, research institutions, and government bodies. The goal is to showcase Japan's outstanding technologies and services to the global community, while aiming to enhance industrial vitality, international competitiveness, and spur innovation.

With Japan facing challenges like the rising demand for medical services due to an aging population and declining birth rates, as well as a disparity in medical resources between urban and rural areas, the healthcare sector is currently grappling with significant staffing shortages. These issues have led to long working hours for healthcare professionals, which have become a social concern. Furthermore, such challenges risk degrading the quality of patient care.

Philips aims to address these pressing issues with its vision of "Better care for more people," leveraging innovative technologies such as AI to streamline workflows and enhance operational efficiencies within healthcare settings.

At the Philips booth during Japan Health, visitors will discover innovations across three main themes:

1. Healthcare x Sustainability: Philips will present solutions emphasizing sustainable practices in healthcare, aiming for a greener future for the sector.
2. Optimization of Hospital Workflow: Focused on improving efficiency in healthcare facilities, this theme will showcase technological advancements that ease the administrative burden on healthcare providers.
3. Disaster Preparedness in Healthcare Settings: Addressing how to maintain hospital and home care functions in times of crisis.

In addition to the booth exhibit, Philips will co-host a luncheon seminar on June 26 (Thursday), discussing sustainability choices in disaster medical care and maintaining functionality in hospitals and home care settings. The seminar will feature esteemed speakers such as Dr. Nobuo Kako, Director of Aichi Health Clinic, and Dr. Hirotaka Maeda, Director of Harutaka Medical Foundation, alongside others who will share insights into sustainable practices in the healthcare sector.
