So that people can live healthy and happy lives, human-oriented technologies in the lifetime domain will become even more sought-after in the future as we face an unprecedented era with an aging population and fewer children. Hitachi views the lifetime domain from the three perspectives of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment and contributes to this field by offering solutions that take advantage of the characteristics of the group. Major examples of this work include positron emission tomography using semiconductor detectors in the field of diagnostics where Hitachi can call on a strong portfolio of individual technologies, a visceral fat simulation technique which represents an example of using large databases for preventive medicine, and an infrastructure technology for regenerative medicine which involves the use of infrastructure technology for therapeutic applications.
