Omron

Cancer, heart disease, and stroke are some of the leading causes of death in industrialized countries. In many cases, these diseases are caused by a lack of moderation in daily diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and a lack of physical activity. Omron has made it a goal to provide care for those suffering from these diseases, while hoping to eventually help stop their spread.
Omron has taken a strong philosophical stance, recognizing that the long-term economic and social impact of these diseases will be particularly staggering if left untreated. Founded in 1933 and based in Japan, Omron is now one of the world leaders in the design and manufacturing of ultrasonic and sensor systems and technologies.

Omron Healthcare, a subsidiary of the Omron Corporation, has developed into a leading marketer and distributor of medical, home healthcare, and wellness products. Omron Healthcare had the privilege of introducing one of the first manual and digital blood pressure measuring devices to the health market. The company saw the digital thermometer as an accurate, secure, and reliable alternative to mercury thermometers. Omron Healthcare has also used sensor technology to develop a device for accurate body fat measurement.
All of the technology used by Omron is designed to not only enhance the medical profession, but are aimed at minimizing and reducing the company's impact on the environment as a whole. Omron Healthcare sets its own standards in the production of eco-friendly products, and the products that meet these standards are labeled with the special "eco-label" trademark of the Omron Group.
