There were many questions from visitors and active discussions were held at the panel discussion.

There were about 230 participants, mainly Kawasaki citizens and companies, and it was a valuable opportunity to see that there is great interest in continuing COINS activities toward realization of “in-body hospitals”. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who visited this symposium.
