We have been providing international telemedicine services since 1996 by utilizing the know-how and equipment developed and practiced for telemedicine and telecare in Japan. We have so far connected to the United States, China, Singapore, and Thailand, and demonstrated that our 3D-HD real-time transmission system is effective in mitigating healthcare disparities among the countries. We are also implementing a project under the agreement with the Chinese Ministry of Health, in which the network centered in the Telemedicine Center of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital (Beijing) is gradually expanding and beginning to produce tangible results. We intend to continue building a larger network to share advanced medical technologies of various countries by not only connecting Japan and its partner countries but also by assisting the development of telemedicine and telecare within our partner countries.
