Symposium to Promote Safe and Secure Radio Usagein Medical Institutions
MIC and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference Japan (EMCC), for which ARIB
works as secretariat, held a "Symposium to Promote Safe and Secure Radio Usage inMedical Institutions" in an on-demand style from 1 to 22 March 2022.
In collaboration with MIC, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference Japan (EMCC)
had published the "Guide for Safe and Secure Use of Radio Waves in MedicalInstitutions" in April 2016 and revised it in July 2021, reflecting the latest technologicaltrends such as expanded use of wireless LAN and 5G.
EMCC also cooperated in creation of the "Building Guidelines and Explanations
Considering Radio Wave Equipment in Medical Institutions" published by theArchitectural Institute of Japan in September 2021.
At this symposium, above-mentioned "Guide for Safe and Secure Use of Radio Waves in
Medical Institutions" (revised edition) and "Building Guidelines" were disseminated,
technical examples to use radio waves safely and securely at medical institutions wereintroduced, and also the Lecture and Panel Discussion were held on the themes such as
safe and secure use of radio waves and hospital construction.
1,213 people applied for the symposium, 44% of whom were engaged in medical care and
