Proprietary bio-information sensing and voluminous clinical data realize accurate measurement
Bio-info sensing the source of trust from the medical community
In developing new technologies, our most important task is to accurately assess the needs of medical professionals, and respond to them in the form of practical devices that enable easy and accurate measurement of bio-information. In this way, we have developed innovative technologies and products that contribute to the establishment of new diagnostic criteria and treatments. What makes this possible is our core competency in bio-information sensing as well as the development of highly precise algorithms that are fine-tuned via joint clinical tests with medical institutions. Many of our blood pressure monitors used worldwide have met the standards of measurement accuracy from ESH (European Society of Hypertension), BHS (British Hypertension Society) and AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) and have also received recommendations from dabl (dabl Educational Trust) and other valuation organizations, earning Omron recognition as a trustworthy brand.Milestones in Product Developments
