SeaStar Corporation has developed the devices
closely connected with the life of the handicapped people, which devices being, for
example, those for the visually-handicapped people and such as the communication
device for the patient suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Although my
history with the development of welfare devices is not long, the user's inconvenience
seems very real to me, that is, I have the feeling at least that the safety standards
of welfare devices are not established yet, and that, of all things, those devices
are very expensive as compared with the other general products. SeaStar Corporation
will continue to develop the devices we had up to the present, with the intention
to realize the higher performance and the lower price, and with the consideration
of the aging society in progress. Additionally, we have a policy to make a proposal
of an In-home Health Care System, which could prevent that the handicapped or the
sick from further increase. We will develop this system by combining the network
technology of the Information System Division and the sensor technology of the Control
System Division.
