GIB perspective
GIB VIEW · Interpretation and execution perspective
From GIB’s perspective, H.C.R. is valuable for identifying who uses a technology and who makes purchase decisions in Japanese care settings. Separating questions for users, facility operators and distributors helps reveal clearer market signals.
Exhibition feedback alone cannot establish market-entry feasibility. Certification, localization and maintenance arrangements require separate validation afterward.
