Japan is the most rapidly aging developed society in the world. Currently, the population 65 years and older in Japan accounts for approximately 29 percent of the total population, and by 2050 it will be 40 percent. As these rapid changes occur, Japan is innovating ways to solve the unmet needs of an aging society. Dr. Ikeno, a Research Associate in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University and the founder of a Japanese biodesign company that is addressing these issues, will discuss some of these innovations.
