Ep17: Assessing the Readiness of Japan for Digital Health with Shigeto Miyamoto from BMS Japan
Across Asia Pacific, one persistent challenge is the digital readiness of a health system. Some are more ready for Health Tech than others. The ones that are most prepared have significant adoption of technology, data standards, and processes that embed tech-based solutions into healthcare.
In this episode, I’m joined by Shigeto Miyamoto, Head of Digital Marketing for BMS in Japan, and a life-long evangelist for driving technology innovation. In our conversation, we take a deep dive into the current digital readiness in Japan. And while the discussion is specific to one country, the insights from our discussion can be applicable to other health systems.
Topics we discuss include:
• Cultural reasons why paper-based processes are still prevalent
• Gap between the desire to innovate and barriers including regulatory
• The impact of COVID on the use of smartphones, telemedicine, and EMRs
• Cultural views on privacy and data
• The hopeful future for Digital Health in Japan including AI and IoT / Smart Devices
