Market Overview

Rise in Lifestyle Diseases Encourages the Adoption of Healthcare Information Technology in Japan

Increasingly unhealthy dietary habits, sedentary lifestyles, and hectic routines have taken a toll on the health of the citizens of Japan. Furthermore, a rise in the number of people above 65 years of age and a shortfall of manpower in the healthcare industry have compelled healthcare providers to resort to IT to effectively address the demand for effective healthcare. “Hospitals in Japan prefer to use IT to meet the demands of the rapidly aging population for easy and quick access to healthcare services,” says the analyst of this research. “Adopting IT would also lower hospitals’ operational expenditure, improve the quality of service, and help them stay competitive.” The market has received a huge boost from government initiatives such as the ‘e-Japan’ policy, ‘New IT Reform Strategy’, and ‘i-Japan strategy 2015’. The Government also aims to create a more eco-friendly environment; hence, investors have been showing interest in green IT relating to the healthcare industry.

Japan’s technological superiority gives it a definite edge in the healthcare information technology market. It is home to many of the world’s leading IT companies and is dominated by domestic enterprises. During the 2009 economic slowdown, some large companies acquired smaller ones to penetrate new markets. Similarly, hospitals in the region have been consolidating due to the pressure on the health system for cost reduction and effective utilization. The need for optimum utilization also causes heavy reliance on technology for resource management and budget planning. “Many of the hospitals in Japan have some sort of enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, therefore investments in such applications are marginally low,” notes the analyst. “However, departmental systems will be in higher demand, as many hospitals are aware of the critical need for this form of information systems.”
