The Korean government and companies actively invest in different sectors of the industry, and the necessary ICT infrastructures are well established. Also, one of the major regulatory issues, that previously hindered some sectors of e-health from developing further, is about to be solved. Therefore, the overall e-health industry in Korea will even speed up its development. Interesting sectors • Telemedicine Regulatory hurdles that prohibited the practice of telemedicine are being removed. With active support from the government, Korean companies and hospitals will accelerate their R&D activities for telemedicine installation. • Health Big Data Great potential of utilizing/analysing big data exists in the healthcare field as Korea’s public health institutes have accumulated Koreans’ medical records. • Health Apps & Wearable Devices With a growing potential in wearable devices and applications, different players varying from telecommunication and electronics companies to hospitals show interest in entering the market. • Smart Hospitals Many major hospitals like Asan hospitals and Samsung Medical Centre have implemented EMR and PACS. Among them, Bundang SNU Hospital is one of the few completely paperless hospitals in the Asia Pacific. Why Korea? • High public demand for better quality of healthcare services. • Korea needs solutions for social issues such as ageing population and increasing medical expenses • Government-driven policies for e-health industry • Highly developed ICT infrastructure necessary to underpin the development of e-health technologies. • Public support of state-of-the-art technology including advanced ehealth services. BACKGROUND INFORMATION E-HEALTH IN JAPAN Due to expanding medical costs and an aging population, the Japanese government has a strong strategic focus on healthcare. Large number of industries including ICT companies have actively invested in the area and have already achieved certain positive outcomes. The success stories include Hitachi’s Lifestyle disease prevalence and Medical expense prediction program and Fujifilm’s Cancer diagnostics accuracy improving system and devices”. The public sector is also strongly supporting the policy by enforcing its Data Health Project to all existing Health Insurance Societies. Interesting sectors • Telemedicine: Fusion of Distinct Element Technology and application, service process and platform designing. Despite having the innovative technologies, Japanese industries are struggling to deploy their solutions due to regulation barriers. This makes trials in Denmark an excellent solution to many Japanese companies. • Bioinformatics and platform for integration of Medical information/Sensor technologies/ Robotics for Preventive medicine, Rehabilitation and Welfare. Numerous collaboration possibilities unifying JP technologies and DK. Providing platform for Big data analysis and experience on health data handling such as in Sundhed. Application opportunities to a niche area not existing in Japan are also attractive for Japanese players. • Sports performance and health maintenance by wearable devices Already competitive market but still numerous unique technologies have not been introduced outside Japan. Danish strength in designdriven product development can add high value to Japanese technologies pushing up to be the leader on the market. Why Japan? • Very close and extensive Industry/Government/Academiacollaboration from fundamental research to commercialization • Fusion of cutting-edge technology and innovative ideas (possibility of sophisticated collaboration between biotechnology, genome, regenerative medicine, welfare etc. with medical devices, informatics, robotics) • Powerful academia/industry clusters; Kobe, Kyoto, Osaka, Kawasaki etc. • Strong relationship with other Asian countries; ODA and hospital projects, which means collaboration with Japan is a gateway to Asia. Furthermore, Japans economy is ranked 3rd in the world.
