Today, nearly 1 billion people around the world are estimated to have hypertension.1 Hypertension usually has no symptoms, but it is a major cause of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart attack. Each year, the number of patients with these diseases is steadily growing. Even when these life-threatening diseases do not result in death, patients can often become bedridden or suffer from speech impairment. This causes a marked drop in patients' quality of life (QOL). These outcomes affect not only the patients themselves but can cause significant burdens on families who provide care for them.

Increasingly serious air pollution mainly in emerging economies and changes in lifestyles have caused an increase in asthma sufferers. Moreover, along with the rapid increase in the aging population, those who suffer from pain in the knees, etc. are also growing in number. Respiratory illness and pain have already become a major social issue worldwide.

OMRON seeks to help all people around the world to improve and maintain their QOL and lengthen their healthy lifespan. To this end, OMRON is committed to creating blood pressure monitors, nebulizers, electrotherapy TENS2 devices, and other innovative products and services.
