Medical Care and Human Well-Being in Future

Abstract

The Japanese have the greatest longevity in the world. Therefore, the provision of welfare and medical services for older people in Japan, is of great interest to many countries. What kind of policy for medical services and welfare should we have as the birthrate declines and the population ages? Firstly, we need primary care in the medical service. In terms of well-being, I think that we need to develop welfare products by using highly advanced technology and make them available so people can enjoy their older years. Of course the role of the sensory organs is of great significance for people to live happily throughout their lives. We need to think carefully about this aspect of the well-being of older people.
