Digitization of Healthcare in Japan -- Time to Act -- 2025

by Philip O'Neill

Visitors to Japan are often amazed at the applications of IT and other information technologies in Japan, particularly in transport and the hospitality industry.

What visitors typically don't see is that much of the Japanese healthcare system is behind the curve in digitization. However, it is rapidly moving ahead: systems for collecting patient reported outcomes, automatic input to registries, distributed clinical trials, and sharing of individual medical records between care giving institutions, and cloud-based solutions for these, are important opportunities for Japan.

The Japanese healthcare system's unique structure and funding formula are keys to delivering the finest healthcare in the world, but as the population ages, there are greater needs for data sharing, easier collection, and realizing cost efficiencies.

Companies from overseas with proven technologies healthcare digitization have an important contribution to make in Japan.
