JPI Seminar on Latest Developments in Medical DX Policies

On March 3, 2026, the Japan Planning Institute (JPI) will host a seminar focusing on the latest developments in the Medical Digital Transformation (DX) policies and medical data legislation, led by Dr. Sho Yamazaki from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. This event promises to cover essential updates that impact the healthcare system in Japan and the broader implications for medical professionals.

What to Expect

The seminar will begin at 9:30 AM and wrap up by 11:30 AM. Following this live session, there will be an opportunity for participants to engage with the lecture material through archive access, allowing those who may not attend live to benefit from the talk.

Dr. Yamazaki, who holds a significant position in the Health Ministry’s Medical Information Platform Promotion Office, will share insights grounded in the recently passed legislation concerning the amendment of medical laws. This legislation paves the way for the use of anonymized public database information and facilitates the secondary use of electronic medical records, a significant step towards enhancing the digital landscape of healthcare in Japan.

1. Government Initiatives to Propel Medical DX: An exploration of the measures being undertaken by the government to promote digital transformation within the healthcare sector.

5. Networking Opportunities: Following the seminar, there will be time allocated for the exchange of business cards and networking among participants, fostering connections across diverse industries.
