Social Issues
The aging society faces numerous social issues such as increasing medical expenses, caregiving problems, and the rise in dementia patients.
Addressing harmful substances that impact the human body is also an urgent issue.
Amidst this, rising health consciousness has expanded interest not only in early disease detection but also in prevention, health promotion, and extending healthy lifespans.
