Foreword

The fact that Japan is among the countries with the highest life expectancy demonstrates that it leads many other countries in addressing the challenges of an aging society. In Japan, where lifestyle diseases have been the leading causes of death, multi-generational households have decreased while the numbers of couple-only households and single-person households have risen. Under such circumstances, there has been a growing demand for services related to medical and nursing care for seniors, including disease prevention and management, rehabilitation and terminal care. Moreover, seniors are regarded as a potentially leading consumer market in Japan, raising expectations for a boost in domestic demand and increased job opportunities through promotion of businesses catering to seniors . At the same time, Japan faces the pressing issue of developing and recruiting human resources required to provide welfare and nursing care services.

We have recently seen the trend toward an aging population and a growing need for businesses catering to seniors appearing in other parts of Asia as well. Therefore, Japanese companies’ services, products, technology, knowhow and experience in the area of nursing care and other areas related to seniors’ needs are expected to help resolve societal issues faced by other Asian nations in the future.

With the aim of introducing Japanese companies that provide products and services for seniors to other countries, the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry has published the Japan Senior Care Business Directory 2015 (a bilingual edition, in Japanese and English). We hope that this booklet will help promote collaboration between Japan and other countries in the business areas related to senior care.

Company name: ART PLAN Co., Ltd.

The company was established in December 1988. Design and manufacture of industrial automation and labor-saving machinery; Provision of custom-made equipment; Development, production and sales of assistive technology The self-reliance support, transfer assistant robot “Aijo-kun” was launched in November 2012.

With an aging population and a falling birth rate, an increasing number of seniors rely on elderly family members for caregiving, and the physical burden on caregivers is a serious problem. In 2012, as many as 5.3 million people qualified for benefits from the long-term care insurance system in Japan. Approximately 80% of caregivers have suffered from lower back pain, which may be classified as an occupational disease.“Aijo-kun” is the first transfer assistant robot in Japan that supports the self-reliance of the user. The robot doesn't have to be operated by a caregiver, and may be operated by users with a lower body disability without assistance to transfer themselves if they can move their upper body.

Traditional transfer support equipment is operated by caregivers. The most significant difference between Aijo-kun and traditional transfer support equipment is that it is a self-reliance support robot which can be operated by those in need of care when transferring themselves, without assistance from a caregiver. The robot not only supports the self-reliance of those in need of care, but also removes a psychological burden from users (who have to wear a diaper), and enables them to transfer themselves whenever they like without hesitation. The robot can also be used at home by a caregiver for transferring users who cannot change their position by pressing a button after changing the user's position ready to transfer. Since the robot doesn't require any body strength on the part of the user (including leg strength), it can be used by those with muscular dystrophy. The robot has received a TAIS (Technical Aids Information System) code: 01317-000001, and the cost of the robot may be covered by long-term care insurance benefits.

With the hotel business, real estate business, and senior business at the core, each of our divisions are making concerted efforts to promote our business activities. In China, we are involved in caretaker training, consulting and the commissioned management of nursing care facilities.

Looking hard at the elderly care and welfare industry in China, which will grow in the future, we founded our owned company “閣世塔豪（上海）信息諮詢有限公司” in Shanghai, China in 2010, drawing on our knowhow in the operation and development of nursing care facilities, nursing care techniques focusing on meticulous care services, and human resources development that we have built up in Japan.

As a first step, we opened the first ever private training school for caretakers in China, from which approximately 500 students have already graduated. We plan to start full-scale operation of nursing care facilities next year.

○“Fusion” materials from which the product is made are revolutionary materials developed by Asahi Kasei Fibers Corporation. Featuring a 3-D honeycomb structure in which the shell and the liner are interlinked with resilient threads, “Fusion” materials offer outstanding cushioning. Moreover, their diagonally braced double-raschel weave provides excellent resilience.

The product has the three main features:1.Breathable and hard to be stuffy Made from “Fusion” materials, the product is much more

breathable than products made from futon cotton or urethane foam. With a three-layer structure, it is a thin-type mattress with a thickness of approximately 1 cm. Containing many air layers, the product is lightweight and is easy to carry around.

Since the body is supported by the three-layer structure, it does not easily sink down into the mattress. The product is always comfortable to sleep on.

2.The product's superb body pressure balancing function helps to reduce the physical burden on the user. Since their body pressure is evenly distributed, the product alleviates the weight on the sacrum, which is susceptible to bedsores. Even when used in combination with a urethane mattress, the product does not lose its body pressure balancing function.

3.The product can be washed in a washing machine or by hand when it becomes dirty. It is also comfortable to use, even in winter. As the product continues to be used, it sags slightly and becomes thinner. However, washing brings it back to its original state. Washing and drying the product on a regular basis will prolong the life of the product.

The product is most effective in summer. Even in winter, however, wrapping the mattress in a sheet prevents air from escaping from the air layers inside the mattress to retain heat. Placing an electric blanket or a hot-water bottle under the mattress prevents low temperature burns and reduces dryness of skin, warming up the whole body.

Effectiveness of body pressure distribution (Wheelchair-type)●Measurement conditions:Measure the distribution of body pressure in the sitting posture, with the sample placed on the wheelchair.● Measuring device: XSENSOR X2 BodySensor System produced by XSENSOR Technology Corporation (Canada)* Measure for 10 seconds at one frame/s (10 frames).●Subject: Male adult; BMI=20.7

In the case of an air mattress, there is no particular difference.→ Using our product in combination with an air mattress has no impact

on the distribution of body pressure!

Wheelchair-type(W40 cm×H40 cm×D1 cm)

Bed-type(W93 cm×H190 cm×D1 cm)

Data on body pressure distribution (reference)

No.1: Wheelchair only No.2: Wheelchair with Kazegokochi Mattress

Effectiveness of body pressure distribution (Bed-type)●Measurement conditions:Measure the distribution of body pressure in the supine position, with the sample placed on the bed.(Subject: Male adult; Height 178 cm, Weight 70 kg, BMI=22)Measure three to five minutes after the subject lies down, during which the posture stabilizes.

The Hospital Accreditation Standards created by the Japan Council for Quality Hospital Care include an evaluation item related to the prevention and treatment of bedsores, in which “considerations for beds/mats and wheelchairs” is mentioned as one of the evaluationelements. We strongly recommend that mattresses with a body pressure balancing function be used to reduce the incidence of bedsores.

Clinically, bedsores refer to areas of skin and underlying tissue that die because of poor blood supply, which is caused by the prolonged contact of the body and the supporting surface (mainly beds) when patients are confined to bed without changing their posture for long periods of time. Our product “Cool Mat” offers excellent breathability and cushioning when used on an air mattress, and helps to decrease skin wetness, which is one of the causes of bedsores.

❶Coordination of services using high technologyChina's elderly care industry will be heavily involved in the construction of infrastructure in China. As China develops smart cities, there will be increasing demand for the provision of higher-quality services. Our company has experts with intimate knowledge of communication networks and high-tech industries in China, and offers comprehensive proposals.

❷Networks and know-how for development of human resourcesAn increase in life expectancy and a falling birthrate due to the country's one-child policy, which was introduced in 1970s, are thought to be significant factors behind the growth of China's elderly care industry. In contrast with Japan, which became an aging society after becoming part of the developed world, China is facing the problems of an aging population as a developing economy. There is shortage of elderly care professionals in China. Although about ten million qualified elder care professionals are needed in China, there are only a few tens of thousands nationwide. Our company has extensive knowledge of the Chinese market, and has helped the headquarters of Japanese companies and their subsidiaries in China for many years to develop talent for business between Japan and China. We will offer services for developing talent in China's elderly care industry and exchanging personnel with Japan.

❸Introduction and provision of products tailored to circumstances in ChinaDue to a rapidly aging population, China will accelerate preparation of a health insurance system for the elderly, and legislation and administrative system for elderly care. One of the advantages of our company is to provide products and services that are tailored to the circumstances in China, not just offering Japanese products and services to Chinese customers.

We offer not only consulting services, but also business support by our Japanese and Chinese staff to your company.

Dispatching Japanese PTs who provide rehabilitation care in universities and hospitals in China and promoting Chinese PT development programs; planning and operating rehabilitation tourism; planning and operating the “Julio System” for private nursing homes with condominiums that can be inherited or sold; planning and operating nursing care facilities such as private nursing homes and day service facilities

Outline○Although there are currently more than 100 million disabled people in China, there are few therapists who have learned physical therapy and no more than 40,000 rehabilitation therapists. Accordingly, many people cannot undergo rehabilitation after they experience illness or an accident, and become disabled. ○The number of disabled people in China increases by one million every year. This is the cause of human and economic loss. To quickly mitigate these losses, Chief Jianrong Ye of the Secretariat of the Care & Rehabilitation Expo China, which attracts 100,000 visitors, requested us to arrange hospitals and facilities in Japan in which Chinese disabled people can undergo rehabilitation and to offer PT education to Chinese people. Accepting the request, we launched a rehabilitation tourism project in December 2012.

Julio International Inc. TEL +81-3-6300-9541

○ On October 30, 2014, we held the Japan-China Friendship Seminar targeting physicians (Western and Chinese medicine) engaged in rehabilitation in China under the theme “Awareness Raising for the Effectiveness of Early Rehabilitation.” Held at the Peking University Third Hospital, which was designated as a rehabilitation hospital at the time of the Beijing Olympic Games, the seminar was jointly hosted by five companies: Beijing Rehabilitation Medical Association, Peking University Third Hospital, Japanese Physical Therapy Association, J.C.D CAPITAL PARTNRRS Co.,Ltd., and Julio International Inc. In the seminar, we reported that nearly 80% of patients in Japan return to society after suffering a brain hemorrhage or a traffic accident after undergoing early rehabilitation based on physical therapy and occupational therapy, something that is rarely provided in China.Held in China for the first time and attended by leading people from the rehabilitation sectors in Japan and China, the seminar included a keynote lecture by a Senior Professor from Peking University Third Hospital and other lectures by the Chairman and Honorary Chairman of the Japan Association of Rehabilitation Hospital and Institution, and the President of the Japanese Physical Therapy Association. We agreed at the seminar that we would dispatch Japanese physical therapists to China to provide rehabilitation to Chinese disabled people, provide appropriate rehabilitation care to patients who had experienced illness or accidents to prevent them from becoming disabled, and offer PT education to Chinese people, through cooperation between leading people in the rehabilitation sectors in Japan and China and members of J.C.D CAPITAL PARTNRRS Co.,Ltd. and Julio International Inc.In 2015, we are starting to dispatch physical therapists who provide rehabilitation care and instructors who offer PT education to Chinese people, to universities and hospitals in China.＊ Photos 1) to 4) show scenes from the seminar “Awareness Raising for the Effectiveness of Early Rehabilitation” held at the Peking University Third Hospital on October 30, 2014. Photos 5) and 6) show scenes from the “Cutting-edge Technology Exhibition and Consultation by Japan's Leading Physical Therapists” event jointly held by the Chinese Rehabilitation Association and Julio International Inc. at the Care & Rehabilitation Expo China hosted by the China Disabled Persons' Federation and held in Beijing from October 10 to 12, 2013.

○Established a system for accepting Chinese patients so that they can undergo necessary rehabilitation care with ease, including tying up with a number of Japan's leading rehabilitation hospitals, helping with the smooth issuance of medical visas, and arranging accommodation.

○“Julio System” for private nursing homes with condominiums that can be inherited or sold, which include rehabilitation facilities, is Japan's only system for private nursing homes, which we developed ourselves. The system is compatible with land-use rights under property laws of China, which enables developers to enter the market. Since the condominiums can be sold, the developers can collect their funds at an early stage. This is the best system for large-scale private nursing homes.＊In Japan, the increasing burden of care costs on the national budget is currently becoming a big problem. The increasing burden of care costs is mainly attributable to the insufficient rehabilitation system for care prevention and treatment for illness and bone fractures in the elderly.When Japanese elderly people begin to receive nursing care in facilities such as nursing homes, many of them need more care because they do not undergo rehabilitation. Consequently, they cannot return home again and continue to stay in nursing homes for the rest of their lives. In many cases, even elderly people who need nursing care due to illness or an accident such as a bone fracture can regain their physical functions to a certain extent if they undergo appropriate rehabilitation. In China, nursing facilities or homes for the elderly where both rehabilitation and nursing care are offered will be necessary in the future.

SOFUMARU is a new soft meal and an original product invented by Meihan Shokuhin. It is soft enough to chew with your gums, but retains the appearance and taste of the ingredients. Recently it has been revealed that there are some problems associated with minced meals, which have traditionally been served to those who have difficulty chewing: the meals make it hard to form a bolus; their appearance may decrease the appetite; and they may cause aspiration pneumonia. Driven by the desire to provide meals that are safe and make people smile, we conducted research and developed SOFUMARU based on our experience of offering meal services at facilities. We hope that SOFUMARU helps you enjoy life with joy.

○Space-saving designDesigned to save space, our bathtubs will fit any bathroom, regardless of its size and shape. The layout can be freely adjusted to suit the bathroom. The bathtub has an integrated tank to save more space than our conventional models.

○Relaxing bathingWith three different reclining positions to suit the user, our bathtubs enable the user to have a bath in a relaxed position, immersed up to their shoulders. The former bottom face of the bathtub is designed so that the user can stretch out their feet. Moreover, the bathtub is equipped with a hydraulic air bubble massaging system that will guarantee a comfortable bath.

○Easy nursing careA transfer chair provided with a tilting mechanism helps to keep the user in a stable position and prevent them from being pulled down. The reclining backrest enables the user to take a bath in a relaxed manner. Since the angle of recline can be adjusted to a position in which the user is lying on their back, the care worker can wash the user's body and hair while they are in a relaxed position. We offer two types of transfer chairs: a sitting position-type chair and a long sitting position-type chair. Even users requiring special care can use the same bathtub.

Company name: Osaka Jikei College

Osaka Jikei College is comprised of six vocational schools and one graduate school. True to our founding principles of practical education, human education and international education, we have developed educated professional talent in the fields of health, medicine, welfare, sports and high technology for 30 years. (Number of graduates: approx. 30,000)

○Development of medical professionals (nurses, medical laboratory technicians, clinical engineers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language-hearing therapists, orthoptists, acupuncturists, judo therapists etc.) ○Development of welfare service professionals (certified care workers, certified social workers, certified psychiatric social workers, licensed childcare workers etc.) ○Development of other healthcare and welfare-related professionals (health information managers, sports trainers, rehabilitation trainers, engineers who design and develop medical or care robots etc.)

Features

Recently Japanese manufactures of medical and assistive devices, hospitals and other medical institutions, and social welfare service corporations have been expanding abroad, especially to the Chinese market. The quality of Japanese healthcare and welfare services, knowledge, technology, facilities and equipment is gaining attention in China's health, medical and welfare industries, which are facing an aging population. Since there is still shortage of workers and the quality of workers is not high in those industries, the demand for talent will become stronger.Since its foundation, Osaka Jikei College has interacted with a variety of higher education institutions in China, being committed to international education—one of its founding principles. Specifically, we established joint departments in schools in China tointroduce Japanese educational technology, facilities and equipment, and to develop the professional talent needed in China. Our joint departments have produced approximately 7,000 graduates for the health, medical and welfare industries.In our joint education, we focus on the following through learning in China and training or studying abroad in Japan:·To study the history, present status and future prospects of the healthcare and welfare industries in Japan·To develop expertise and learn its role, idea and appropriate attitude·To earn a Japanese certificate in the professional field in which a student aspires to practice·To experience various Japanese culture, history and society and become a more cultivated human being·To learn Japanese and become bilingual·To improve communication skills through interaction between teachers and students

Through these, we can develop talent with a “glocal” perspective, combining local and global perspectives. Such talent with a glocal perspective is highly valued and sought after in both Japan and China, and will contribute to the development of the healthcare and welfare industries and improvement of the educational level in China in the future.

For those who can stand and walk, pants-type disposable diapers, which can be easily changed while users are in a sitting or standing position, are available. They are designed to support the freedom of life of users by encouraging them to use the toilet on their own wherever possible. For those who are unfortunately bedridden, combined use of a tape-type disposable diaper and an incontinence pad, which can be changed easily while users are in a lying position, is recommended. Such combined use can minimize the time required for incontinence care to maintain users' dignity as much as possible and reduce the burden on caregivers.

（3）要介護度の認定基準

・要介護認定（要支援認定）とは、要介護状態（要支援状態）にあるかどうか、どの程度の介護（支援）が必要かを判断

するための手続きであり、保険者である市町村に設置される「介護認定審査会」において判定される。

・要介護認定（要支援１～要介護５）は介護サービスの給付額に結びつくことから、その基準については全国一律に定

められており、介護サービスの必要度（どれくらい介護サービスを行う必要があるか）の判定は、客観的で公平な判定を

行うため、面談・主治医意見書の内容に基づいたコンピュータによる一次判定と、それを原案として保健医療福祉の

学識経験者が行う二次判定の二段階で行われている。

(Reference Materials)Japan's Welfare for the Elderly and the Long-term Care Insurance System

1. Framework of Japan's social insurance systemWith the aim of enabling all citizens to undergo necessary medical treatment and lead a comfortable life in their golden years, the Japanese government has successfully introduced a “nationwide universal health insurance/pension scheme” through the following insurance systems:·Medical care insurance: Coverage for non-occupational sickness/injury·Pension insurance: Payments of old-age pension benefits and disability pension benefits·Labor insurance (consisting of industrial accident insurance and employment insurance): Coverage for employees'

sickness/injury during work or commuting to their workplace, and for employees who become unemployed·Long-term care insurance: Coverage for the necessity of long-term care due to aging

Source: “Outline of the Social Security System Reform” by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (May 2014), p.6

*1 The amounts of insurance premiums, national funds, and contributions by municipal governments are an estimate based on the initial budget for FY2014.

*2 Premiums include contributions from business operators.

*3 As to employment insurance (payment of unemployment benefits), the cost borne by national funds (sharing 1/4 of the entire cost) is limited to the amount equivalent to 55% of

the share for the time being.

*4 As to welfare for children and persons with disabilities, half (1/2) the costs for child welfare homes are borne by the national government and the remaining half (1/2) are borne by

prefectures/ordinance-designated cities/core cities/cities having child counseling centers, in principle.
