Background:
Japan stands as the world’s 3rd largest economy and healthcare market in the world.
With a population of approximately 120 million people, of which over 30% are projected to be 60 years or older within a decade, Japan’s healthcare market will continue to grow –projected CAGR 4% from 2018 to 2024.

At the same time, Japan is lagging with regards to digitalization of the healthcare market, and both the public and private sector stakeholders are actively looking for new digital solutions. The use of electronic medical records hover around 30-40% in Japan (compared to close to 100% in Nordics), and healthcare/pharmaceutical was a top-10 most funded sector by VC firms in Japan in 2019. We have researched and interviewed relevant digital health ecosystems in Japan, and look forward to sharing these results in this webinar.
