Global Tech Summit: Tokyo - "Exploring the Potential of Digital Health "

Japan (OCT 30-31, 2023) :

Japan's healthcare system is renowned for its quality, but it is facing significant challenges due to an aging population and rising demand for healthcare services. Fortunately, digital health solutions are emerging as a key answer to these challenges, and their transformative impact is already being felt throughout Japan's healthcare system.

One of the most exciting developments in digital health is telehealth, which allows patients to consult with their doctors remotely. This technology is reducing the need for patients to travel to clinics or hospitals, saving time and resources, and increasing access to healthcare services for people living in remote or underserved areas. Telehealth is also reducing wait times for patients, as doctors can diagnose and treat patients more quickly and efficiently.

Another crucial aspect of digital health is electronic health records. These records are streamlining the coordination of care between healthcare providers, reducing duplication and errors, and improving patient outcomes. Japanese citizens can now access their health information securely online through the My Number system, which has the potential to save lives in emergency situations.

The Japanese government recognizes the importance of digital health and is investing heavily in this area. The government is implementing funding programs and initiatives to support startups that are developing new digital health solutions. These startups are driving innovation in the field, improving patient outcomes, and reducing costs.

Digital health is transforming healthcare in Japan, and it will play an increasingly important role as Japan's population continues to age and demand for healthcare services grows. By embracing digital health solutions, Japan is ensuring that all citizens have access to high-quality healthcare, regardless of where they live or their medical needs.
