It is well known that propulsion of medical-related industry looking ahead to longevity society is included in Strategy for the Rebirth of Japan. At present, rejuvenation of the domestic medical device industry utilizing the technology of Japan has come under spotlight. Even though similar measures have been implemented so far, some of them have resulted in failure, and this reveals that the challenges which already seemed to have been solved in medicine are still bottlenecks. In this program, I will visualize the challenges in development of medical devices and discuss its breakthrough. Especially, I would like to share the effect expected from pharmaceutical companies breaking into the market with PMDA as well as medical doctors specialize in development of both medicine and medical devices, and individuals related to a company, hoping that these discussions set off the birth of new home grown medical devices.
