On December 3, i2i was invited to the “Taiwan-Japan SME Smart Technology Forum,” where participants explored ways to address medical and caregiving challenges as Taiwan heads toward a super-aged society in 2025. Discussions highlighted real-world applications and future opportunities for telemedicine and community-based integrated care.
Japan, a front-runner in bringing government and industry together to respond to an aging population, shared its experiences with Taiwan. By encouraging two-way business exchanges, the forum aimed to help local SMEs keep pace with the latest trends in remote healthcare, community resource coordination, and big data applications—while opening doors for more cross-border partnerships.
The forum was organized by the SMESA, TJSCP, Institute for Information Industry (iii); the Taiwan Society of Home Health Care; The Japan Research Institute; DCT JAPAN; TEIJIN PHARMA; and other experts and industry representatives.
Two key themes took center stage. The first focused on emerging applications and business models for telemedicine. The second covered how to build community-based integrated care systems to meet the needs of Taiwan’s aging society.
As Taiwan and Japan both move closer to a super-aged era, finding ways to use innovative technology to connect hospitals, clinics, and community care facilities seamlessly has become a shared concern.
The event also featured pitch presentations by 12 Taiwan-based telemedicine startups. Their solutions ranged from health management platforms and wearable devices to mobile healthcare services and real-time medical image sharing.
Japanese telemedicine, healthcare, and hospital management experts joined online, hoping these international exchanges would accelerate the global rollout of smart healthcare solutions.
