As part of the event, a media-only press conference will take place from 3pm to 
3:45pm on January 4, 2023 (PST). Ranndy Kellogg, CEO of OMRON Healthcare, Inc., 
and other senior executives will present the initiatives that have propelled 
the Company into a solid leadership position in heart health. 

In support of the event, a special website will be launched on Thursday, 
December 15, which will demonstrate the Company's business environments, 
exhibit themes, future vision, and latest clinical study results. 

Themes at CES 2023 
1. Early detection of heart diseases by using Blood Pressure Monitoring + ECG 
technology
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) is a type of irregular heartbeat, known as an 
arrhythmia. Because its symptoms can be subtle, they can simply go unnoticed, 
and so it is difficult to detect the condition at an early stage. If left 
uncontrolled, AFib increases the risk of stroke by five times the average. 
OMRON has introduced the upper-arm blood pressure monitor with built-in ECG 
technology worldwide, with the aim of making daily vital ECG recording routine 
along with blood pressure measurement. The goal is to detect the risks of AFib 
at an early stage and prevent it from worsening, aiming to reduce the risk of 
heart attack and stroke while helping to advance the Company's vision of Going 
for Zero.

2. Expansion of Digital Health
OMRON connect (US/CAN/EMEA) is a health management mobile app. It analyzes the 
trends of users' vital data by using AI technology and suggests optimal 
lifestyle modification programs and other insights. OMRON connect will be 
demonstrated at OMRON's exhibit booth at CES 2023.

3. Innovation of Global Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Services
A new multi-disease RPM platform will be introduced in the UK. The service, 
scheduled to launch in early 2023, will help patients of chronic diseases share 
vital health data from their homes with their physicians. The service lets 
physicians monitor physical status and the medication adherence of their 
patients to improve chronic care management. In the UK, patients have an option 
to register with a General Practitioner (GP) who will care for a wide range of 
patients and conditions, from an initial visit to long-term treatment. As 
patients' conditions are managed using the platform, a GP's workload is shown 
to be reduced, while early detection of severe cerebrovascular and 
cardiovascular diseases can be expected. Additionally, the RPM service in the 
U.S., VitalSight (TM) by OMRON, will also be exhibiting to share treatment 
efficacies and health economics of their service, including physician 
testimonials.
