In a society facing declining birthrates and an aging population, promoting medical digital transformation (DX) to balance the quality and efficiency of healthcare and nursing services has become an urgent priority. Rapid digitalization is underway in medical and caregiving fields, including standardization of electronic health records, online qualification verification, telemedicine, AI-based diagnostic support, and sharing of care information.

This digital transformation requires medical devices and systems to be constantly connected and operational, making stable power supply essential. In particular, high-performance batteries play a key role in ensuring safety and reliability in the following scenarios:

・Wearable medical devices (heart rate, blood sugar monitors, etc.): Long operational hours and lightweight design demand batteries with high
    energy density and compact size.
・Telemedicine terminals and mobile diagnostic devices: High output and long lifespan are crucial to support communication functions and
    processing capabilities.
・Medical robots and transport equipment: High reliability and safety are necessary to ensure continuous operation and safety.
・Backup power during disasters or power outages: Instantaneous switching to high-output batteries is vital to enable continuous use of
   medical equipment.

The advancement of medical DX not only enhances operational efficiency but also improves patients’ quality of life (QOL) and promotes healthcare equity. The foundation of these benefits is reliable battery technology.

Future healthcare will evolve through the integration of digital technologies and power solutions. Panasonic Energy’s batteries serve as the “invisible force” supporting this evolution, playing an increasingly important role.

【Application Examples】
AED : Defibrillators are medical devices used for life-saving treatment in cases of cardiac arrest. External defibrillators include Fully automatic defibrillators and Semi-automatic defibrillators. Fully automatic defibrillators provide voice and screen instructions for the necessary steps during resuscitation, making them easy to use even for non-medical personnel. In contrast, Semi-automatic defibrillators are typically used by healthcare professionals in medical facilities or ambulances. Panasonic Energy's batteries support rapid emergency response in medical settings through their high quality and reliability.

Ventilators: Medical devices designed for patients with respiratory diseases, ventilators deliver air to the lungs and assist in maintaining proper breathing activity. Panasonic Energy’s batteries, known for their safety, reliability, and high energy density, support long-term operation of these devices.

Oxygen Concentrators: These medical devices concentrate oxygen to high densities and are central to oxygen therapy equipment. Batteries are required for portable use when patients are outside medical facilities. Panasonic Energy contributes to treatment across a wide range of scenarios with its reliable batteries.

Infusion Pumps: Infusion pumps require precise flow control and continuous operation over extended periods. Batteries must provide stable output and high reliability. Panasonic Energy’s batteries maintain high output stability, resist degradation, and support the reliable operation of equipment during emergencies, ensuring safe, long-term use.

Blood Glucose Monitors (CGM): These innovative medical devices significantly improve diabetes management by visualizing blood glucose fluctuations in real time and preventing risks of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. They rely on the seamless collaboration of sensors, transmitters, and receivers. To ensure stable operation of all these systems, the battery plays an extremely important role, and Panasonic Energy supports this with compact, lightweight, and high-quality batteries.
