I’m ebi, the writer of this blog.
I am a Japanese registered nurse and certified care manager, currently working at a home-visit nursing agency while studying patent reading and translation.
Over the years, I have continued to pursue my interests through different paths: studying abroad, working in a general company, becoming a nurse, and later obtaining my care manager qualification.
As a nurse, I have gained broad experience across a range of settings, including acute care hospitals, discharge support in community-based integrated care wards, elderly care facilities, and home nursing.
In addition, my experience of caring for a parent at home has given me another important perspective—that of a family member.
Through studying patent translation, I have been exposed to technologies related to welfare equipment and pharmaceuticals, and I have come to realize that understanding these technologies can also be valuable in frontline practice.
At the same time, I have also seen that even products that seem truly beneficial often face various barriers before they can actually be introduced into real care settings.
With a desire to help spread tools that are genuinely useful in practice and to improve nursing and caregiving environments, I am working toward a role in which I can support the market development of manufacturers and products by drawing on two strengths: an understanding of technology and a strong sense of real medical and caregiving settings.
At present, I use my understanding of patents together with my frontline experience in medical and caregiving settings to create content and write about products and technologies in these fields.
Rather than simply introducing patents or product features, I place importance on explaining how the underlying technology works and connecting that understanding to its practical use in nursing and caregiving settings.
I am also active as a distributor for AQURE Nail Pen.
