Japan Telemedicine Industry Trends and Drivers:
The Japan telemedicine market is being shaped by an aging population, technological advancement, and major changes in healthcare service delivery model induced by the COVID-19 outbreak. The urgent need to provide healthcare to a rapidly aging population in Japan, as well as to bridge the gap in healthcare provision between urban and rural areas, has propelled demand for telehealth solutions that can deliver specialized medical care to remote areas. The demand for healthcare workers, particularly in rural areas, has increased the necessity of telemedicine systems that can increase the efficiency of doctors and patients. The pandemic proved to be a significant catalyst, driving swift regulatory changes that loosened the traditional constraints on practice over telemedicine, such as in-person initial visit requirements and restrictions on specified medications that could be prescribed by distance. These regulatory adjustments, initially introduced as temporary measures, have been extended and formalized, facilitating telemedicine adoption to a greater extent. Other factors include enhanced consumer comfort with digital technologies and video communication, smartphone ubiquity and improved internet connectivity bringing down the barriers of entry to telemedicine for patients who may have been skeptical of virtual care in the past.
Market The provider landscape is shifting with more healthcare providers, technology companies, and payers are now focused on full telemedicine platform and service solutions. Tele-consulting services allow patients and doctors to engage in remote consultations, helping to reduce the travel burden on patients and increase access to specialized medical know-how across geographic boundaries. Applications for Tele-Monitoring Among the applications of tele-monitoring are telehome care for chronic diseases and post-hospital care, which are particularly valuable for chronic disease management as they provide continuous remote monitoring of vital signs, signs, and health information of a patient, making possible early intervention and prevention of exacerbation of disease or hospitalization. Tele-education programs are transforming the way medical professionals and patients alike are educated in health. Demand for Telemedicine Devices, Software and Services The hardware, software, and service elements of the telemedicine solution are expected to grow in the same pace as the solutions become more complex and multi-faceted in the years to come. Real-time video consultations are the predominant current practice, although store-and-forward techniques that allow for asynchronous assessment of medical information and images are useful in a few areas of clinical medicine such as teleradiology and teledermatology. The development of use cases beyond primary care, to encompass telepsychiatry, telecardiology, teledermatology, and teleradiology activity signals that remote care delivery can be applied across a range of medical specialties. The growth of tele-home services in bringing healthcare into patients’ homes indicates a shift toward patient-centered care that emphasizes convenience and comfort. Providers are utilizing telemedicine as a tool to enhance efficiency of and satisfaction with healthcare delivery while payers are aware of telemedicine’s capabilities to lower the cost of care through better care coordination and preventive interventions. With ongoing development of regulatory policies, increasing investments in digital health infrastructure and the growing of the healthcare workforce in Japan, the Japan telemedicine market holds the promise of substantial growth, enabling a nationwide transformation of healthcare access and delivery.
