The 9th Promotion Forum concluded with great success.
We would like to thank everyone who participated.

A new healthcare system is expected in the era of the super-smart society, not only to solve many issues related to national health management, such as rapid aging and rising medical costs, but also to realize a society in which everyone, regardless of gender, can live a happy long life while being active in their daily lives. In this society, medical care will not only be provided in hospitals, but will be integrated into each individual’s daily healthcare and expanded to the home and workplace.

Tokyo Institute of Technology will merge with Tokyo Medical and Dental University, and this will serve as an opportunity for the Super Smart Society Promotion Consortium to expand its scope to the healthcare field. On this occasion, the 9th Super Smart Society Promotion Forum will be held, entitled “Personalized Healthcare for a Super Smart Society.” Here, we will introduce innovative technologies and cutting-edge knowledge for maintaining a healthy and cultural social life of the nation from the perspectives of health maintenance, prevention of illness, early detection, monitoring, and prevention of disease recurrence. In addition, a panel discussion will discuss new medical and engineering collaboration initiatives, future visions, and what medical services should be like in the future society.
