To verify R&D performance and to assess technical issues to be solved in medical equipments industry, questionnaires have been sent to the engineers both in medical equipments and industrial robot companies and carried out comparison analysis. Rephes from medical equipments industry were classified and analyzed by using Self Organizing-Maps (SOM)technology. By SOM analysis,replies from medical equipments industry were classified into two groups:one is imaging systems and clinical test equipments,and the other is biophenomena measuring equipments and artificial organ & assist devices.These two groups can be separated by extent of invasiveness to human body. The growing stage of medical equipments industry in terms of R&D activities is a developing stage,while robot industry is a developed one.In medical equipments industry,technologies and information are limited as R&D resources.Especially,information from customers is insufficient.Furthermore,strategies to be considered during development are too numerous to be focused From this analysis,we would like to propose re-organization of relevant academic societies to support the R&D strategies and management.
