Book Review: “Health, Nursing Care, and Living for You to Live as Yourself – The Forefront of Medical DX and AI Creating the Future” (President Inc.) – Nikkei Medical

News Highlights

Introducing the book “Health, Nursing Care, and Living for You to Live as Yourself – The Forefront of Medical DX and AI Creating the Future,” published by President Inc. This book explores the forefront of medical DX and AI, presenting ways for readers to live their lives with health, nursing care, and daily living in a way that suits them. From the perspective of medical M&A and business succession, key points discussed include the value of third-party succession as an alternative to closure or廃業 (going out of business), early preparation in a 5-10 year timeframe starting around age 60, and the utilization of specialized support organizations for the medical industry.

M&A Medical Editorial Department’s Perspective

The introduction of this book should be understood not merely as an explanation of technological trends, but as offering insights into the more fundamental issue of “business succession” in healthcare facility management. In particular, the point that directors and presidents should prepare in a 5-10 year timeframe starting around age 60 suggests an extremely realistic timeline for healthcare facilities facing a lack of successors to secure a path of “creating the future” through third-party succession, before being forced into the option of closure or 廃業. The adoption of medical DX and AI should be positioned not just as efficiency tools, but as strategic investments for enhancing business value and executing smooth M&A, as they are crucial elements for increasing “sustainability” after succession. The utilization of specialized support organizations for the medical industry is key to successfully navigating this complex process.
