Hiroshi Yagi, representative of our company, appeared in the special feature “Care for Elimination That Home Care Physicians Should Know” of the special edition “Peer Study Home Healthcare College,” where multiple professions learn about home healthcare through video.
In this special edition, four individuals—doctors, nurses, welfare equipment planners, and physiotherapists—provided topics on incontinence care from their respective professional perspectives.
In a cross-talk session themed “Why Doctors Should Know About Incontinence Care,” opinions were exchanged on topics such as skin disorders, adult diapers, welfare equipment, and practical examples in home care.

Hiroshi Yagi spoke on the theme ‘Diapers as assistive products that support independence,’ discussing how to choose diapers and how they can support outings and social participation.
A diaper is not just a product for receiving excrement; depending on the choice and usage, it can become a welfare aid that supports a person’s life and activities. I would like to share perspectives that are important for those who are involved in home visits for medical treatment.
