Origin of Company Name / Corporate Symbol
When the Company was founded, several of the founding members gathered at the house of the founder to decide on a Company name. As the founder had many books regarding the photoelectric effect and electron optics on his shelves, they suggested the name Kohden, which combines the Japanese characters for light and electricity.
The founder, who was interested in the possibilities for developing new technologies that combined electronics and optics, added the words Nihon (Japan) and Kougyou (Industry) to create the name Nihon Kohden Kougyou.
Just as a lighthouse guides ships on the right course, so let us be the hope for human healthcare and welfare
The Corporate Symbol graphically expresses the founding philosophy of Nihon Kohden.
The curved line at the bottom of the corporate symbol represents the horizon, from which the light beaming from a lighthouse extends up into the sky, visually expressing Nihon Kohden's global development, and its contribution to humanity and the world, today and in the future.

2030 Value Creation Compass
- Patient outcomes and economy of medical care
We aim to create value that addresses global medical issues of achieving better patient outcomes and improving the economy of medical care.
- Suitable solutions for each disease and clinical site
We aim to provide the optimal care cycle solution for each patient, from examination, diagnosis, and treatment to home care.
- HMI technology and medical equipment
HMI technology is one of our core strengths and serves as an important touchpoint with patients throughout their clinical journey. HMI technology and medical equipment give us access to patients and clinical sites which enable us to create value.
●Value creation from data gathered through clinical sites
Nihon Kohden will develop a data integration platform and pioneer algorithms to create new value from information. Vital sign data, IoT data and EMR information will be integrated as a big data. Algorithms for clinical prediction models will be developed using AI and data analysis.
- Real time loop to respond to clinical needs
By combining HMI technology and medical equipment used in the medical field, and new algorithms created from big data analysis, we provide solutions that can respond to clinical needs in real time.
- Human Machine Interface is the user interface that connects human and machine. For Nihon Kohden, HMI indicates sensor technology, signal processing technology, and data analysis technology.
