Message from the President

Now the world and Japan are in the midst of crustal movements. It will take 50 years to make Japan a completely different country. Most of the demographic structure of people under the age of 50, which has continued for centuries, will shift to a society in which the post-reproductive population of the 21st century type, which is over 50 years old, accounts for about one-third. From now on until around 2040, the challenges brought about by aging will become more serious and will be boiled down.


However, after that, it will make a big qualitative change. Life, family, labor, community and medical care will change dramatically. We need to build new values and societies. Thinking of the future as an extension of the past, forecasting is dangerous. Backcasting is necessary to look at the present from the future and envision it. The Future Medical Research Model was created for that purpose.

The representative of "Future Medical Research Machine God" has been the director of the Medical Policy Research Department at the National Medical Hospital Management Institute and the National Institute of Health and Medical Sciences for 20 years, researching and proposing policies of national and local governments, researching and training hospital management. Involved in several revisions of the medical law, formation of the basic concept of Health Japan 21, 500 hospitals, 1 million patient satisfaction, 100,000 staff satisfaction surveys, etc. In recent years, we have expanded our activities to comprehensive community care, social welfare, and community development.

During that time, the "Future Health Research Institute" has a network of leading Japanese leaders in the fields of medical care, long-term care, prevention, welfare, and community development, which we have researched and proposed together. During the variable period, a big picture and a multifaceted analysis are needed at the same time. It is our desire to help you with your challenges from a "future, interdisciplinary perspective."
