The medical home and home healthcare markets are expected to grow significantly in the future.
Products and services in the medical and healthcare fields are expanding as social systems and life planning are being reviewed in preparation for the “The 100-Year Life“ advocated by Professor Linda Gratton.
Demand for medical and healthcare devices that can be used at home is growing rapidly, especially as the shortage of healthcare professionals in an ageing society is becoming an issue. This makes it possible to collect data and manage health at home without having to rely on medical facilities. With this, the need for home medical devices and the importance of product design increases.
Nissha will contribute to these new needs with its unique decorating and molding technologies.
Hygienic white form combined with light transmission technology

The fusion of functionality and design required for medical devices and healthcare products is an extremely important issue. In recent years in particular, demand for products that combine a white body with light transmission (LED) technology has increased, and Nissha has provided a variety of solutions to overcome this technical hurdle. Furthermore, a hard coating embedded to the product surface with chemical resistance to alcohol cleaning and antibactrerial functionality has significantly improved the hygiene and durability of the product. This provides a clean and long-lasting design for use in medical practices and at home, where medical equipment is frequently used.
In particular, medical equipment is frequently cleaned with alcohol and disinfectants, so chemical-resistant materials are essential. In addition, hard coatings with built-in antimicrobial functions consider hygienic safety, providing peace of mind for patients and users. The art of incorporating these functions is a necessary element in supporting highly reliable medical equipment.
Advances in IoT, AI and Nissha’s technology
In the medical and healthcare sectors, IoT and AI technologies are evolving rapidly, and new products and services are emerging as a result. FemTech and Menotech products are prime examples of this, with an increasing number of devices and services that record and analyze our physical data on a daily basis to support health management. Data collection, previously only possible at medical institutions, can now be easily carried out at home, increasing demand for products related to preventive medicine and health maintenance.
Nissha has been providing decorative value to the consumer electronics market based on the concept of light transmission technology and mutech (decorative value that seamlessly links technology and life). This technology is also useful in the medical and healthcare markets, where products with designs that fit in with the home are being created, reducing the psychological burden on users and providing products that are easier and friendlier to use.
The future of design and function in healthcare products
Color, Material and Finish (CMF) is becoming even more important in medical devices and healthcare products that are incorporated into the home. These products must not only be functional but also harmonize with the home environment and have a design that does not disturb the living space. Nissha has created new value in healthcare products by using its long-standing injection molding and decorating technologies to provide products with both a white body form and light transmission, as well as chemical resistance and antibacterial functions. This creates new value in healthcare products.
As the medical and healthcare markets continue to evolve, Nissha’s technology is expected to continue contributing to the development of products that combine design and functionality that blend into living spaces. This will make medical devices a part of everyday life and make daily health care more accessible and comfortable.
