According to a research report published by decision advisor & Consulting, the Japan remote patient monitoring market size is anticipated to reach USD 421.5 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 12.65% from 2025 to 2035. The remote patient monitoring market in Japan is driven by Japan's elderly population, high rate of chronic illness, robust government digital health programs, and the growth of the My Number Card infrastructure.

Market Overview

The remote patient monitoring (RPM) market consists of technologies, devices, software platforms, and services that facilitate healthcare providers to observe, assess, and manage patients' health data outside of traditional settings of clinical care. RPM encompasses products such as wearable devices, sensors, mobile health applications, and connected medical devices that can collect and transmit recordings of patient vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, or oxygen saturation, to clinicians in real-time. Japan's remote patient monitoring market is growing quickly in response to the country's aging population, increasing rates of chronic conditions, and heightened interest in receiving care at home. Support from the government is crucial, with several initiatives active under the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare to support digital-health initiatives and the nationwide launch of a My Number Card healthcare infrastructure, which allows for improved population health data integration and increases the use of RPM.

In addition, innovative technologies like AI-enabled diagnostics, smart wearables, and interoperable platforms continue to enhance remote care. In addition, there will be more opportunities for RPM in the areas of elderly care, chronic disease management, and partnerships between hospitals, insurers, and device manufacturers. RPM includes the recent announcement of the expansion of digital-health policies, increased subsidies for the digitization of nursing care, and major Japanese medical device companies recently introducing new forms of AI-enabled monitoring devices.
