The main theme for 2022;Connect into a Spiral

Along with the global pandemic, the political situation has become unstable, and the global economy continues to be uncertain. In such situations, expectations for healthtech are increasing as we question ourselves once again, the meaning of "LIFE". In the healthtech field, the business ecosystem is becoming active which accelerates rapid market growth and social implementation. This is not from a single factor such as the active inflow of human resources and fundings, growing diversity of business models, new entry from other industries, or active M&As, various factors listed are influencing each other, building a huge spiral stream of growth. In addition, access to the individual Personal Health Record/PHR and Real World Data/RWD has gradually become interoperable, with the support of high-speed and high-precise analytics by AI, we are approaching a world where you can receive YOU-centric choices. How can each individual achieve a “better life”? We will discuss the latest examples of global healthtech that support  "YOU" especially. Join us for the hot two days of winter, update what is really happening in healthtech, connect with startups, industry, government, academia, and the opinion leaders in each industry through discussions on the cutting edge of healthtech in Japan and the globe from various angles.
