Toshiba Recognized for Medical Innovation and Quantum Experience Design
Toshiba Corporation has received two awards at the iF DESIGN AWARD 2026, recognizing its work in medical technology and design communication.
The Heavy Ion Therapy System CI-1000 was awarded in the Product Design category for medicine and healthcare. The system supports cancer treatment without surgery or hospitalization and uses superconducting technology for precise tumor targeting. It also focuses on improving comfort for patients and medical staff.
The second award went to “Exploring QKD Delicate therefore Robust,” an interactive installation designed to explain quantum key distribution. The project was showcased at EXPO 2025 Osaka and uses visual and physical elements to help users understand how quantum security works.
The installation presents photons as soap bubbles to demonstrate how interference affects data security, making complex concepts easier to understand through experience.
These recognitions reflect Toshiba’s efforts to apply advanced technology in practical use cases, including healthcare and data security, while focusing on user-centered design.
