Health Innovations in Japan The Final Chapter Progressions
Before we begin these are my personal views and don’t necessarily reflect the views of my employer. I enjoyed my time in Japan and the knowledge I gained from these highly driven spiritual people, a paradox in terms within itself. I feel to really get to know the truth you must talk to the ordinary people of the country, I feel actually being in the country helps as well. To find out how japan has progressed re healthcare I enlisted the help of my friend Shingo Kushioka a world-renowned cancer activist.
Patient empowerment
Shingo is about to launch Japan’s very first Cancer Channel for patients, please find the beta version here: http://www.cancerchannel.jp/ this is where patients can come to find valuable information about the illness and talk to others about their experiences. The site has also received celebrity endorsement with high-profile public figures hosting web seminars on how cancer has effected their lives and the loved ones around them.
The channel is of vast importance for the patient movement in Japan, it also has the backing of major Japanese NPO’s and is now looking to actually give patients information about the drugs they will have to take due to their condition. The Cancer Channel would love to have input from pharma which is an enormous step forward for Japanese patients and for pharmaceutical companies who up until now have found it difficult to talk about the drugs they can offer for serious diseases.
Please contact myself or Shingo if you would like to partner with major NPO’s on this ground breaking site to give information about your oncology medication.
Pioneers
We also have sites such as Oncology Dream Team where anyone involved in cancer care can voice their dreams for the treatment of patients in Japan and what needs to be done in the system starting with themselves. A truly pioneering site that has built up a massive following over the years showing that doctors and surgeons in Japan are aware of the problem’s in their healthcare system and want to make a change. It is obvious that the patient’s wellbeing is paramount.
Another pioneering site is Cansol built by Sakurai Naomi. Sakurai, a cancer survivor, could not get back to work after her illness and found the Japanese legal system less than sympathetic to her cause. She founded this site in 2008 for other survivor’s facing barriers when getting their old jobs back or getting new job’s full stop. Sakurai has revolutionised the ability and prejudices faced by cancer patients throughout Japan.
AIDS awareness is also coming to the fore with more user-friendly sites such as HIV MAP targeting a younger audience. When compared to the old Japan Foundation for AIDS site you can see just how far Japanese social media has come along with awareness events being held across the country. The only criticism I have about the HIV MAP site is that it is blatantly targeted at the gay community and we have learnt in the west the hard way this is not just a gay disease and all other HIV/AIDS sufferers should also be catered for. But this aside it is an incredibly modern site showing that the government is listening to bodies such as the UN when it comes to their health statistics.
Pharma
According to the WSJ Eisai has convened with more than 400 innovation communities since 2005 to focus on health-care-related issues. They have also devised social programs for the families of Alzheimer’s victims. Every Eisai employee world-wide participates in at least one such project, and spends time with patients as well. The company thinks connecting in person with patients is crucial because it helps employees see and understand issues that the patients think are important, and so enhances the employees’ ability to see beyond pure data. I would love write a blog on this enriching research program but can only find details of it in western papers, an absolute travesty for such a patient orientated research scheme that should be shouted from every roof top in every city.
After my meeting with Shingo, I realised that there is a massive section of the Japanese population that hold the firm believe that progress is key, an idealism built in Japan many hundreds of years ago. From pottery techniques to technologies that baffled the world the Japanese have been at the forefront of their chosen game. It would therefore stand that they would also want this for their healthcare sector as well. I can only see a way forward for Japanese healthcare as these people are really not into failure or coming second. I await the day when Japanese pharma open their doors to the west to share information and research techniques that are truly personalised and I feel when this day comes we will truly have something to learn.
私たちはこれらは私の個人的な見解であり、必ずしも私の雇用者の意見を反映していない開始する前に。私は、私はこれらの非常に駆動の精神的な人々は、それ自体に面でのパラドックスから得られた知識を日本で私の時間を楽しんだ。私は実際には、国の普通の人と話をする必要があります真実を知るために感じ、私は実際に国にいる感じも役立ちます。調べる方法を日本に再ヘルスケア進展しているために、私は友人慎吾Kushioka世界的に有名な癌の活動の助けを入隊した。
患者のエンパワーメント
慎 吾は患者のための日本の非常に最初のがんチャンネルをlaunchする、ベータ版としてここversionを検索してくださ い:http://www.cancerchannel.jp/ thisはwhere患者は病気についてvaluable情報を検索するcome canなどにtheir experiencesについてtalkされ。サイトでは、知名度の高い公人がんは自分たちの生活と彼らの周りの愛する人に影響を与えている方法でWebセミナーをホストして有名人の支持を受けています。
チャネルは、広大な重要性を日本の患者の動きです、それはまた、major Japanese NPO法人があるの支持を受けて、現在to実際に患者に、彼らはその条件のため利用する必要があるでしょうdrugsに関する情報を提供探しています。がんチャンネルは、日本の患者のための巨大な一歩を、製薬企業の今までのは難しい、彼らは深刻な病気のために提供することができます薬物に関する話を発見したまでは医薬品からの入力を持っているのが大好きだ。
あなたのパートナーへの主要なNPOがこの地のサイトを破壊上腫瘍薬に関する情報を提供することがでご希望の場合ご自分または慎吾お問い合わせください。
先駆者
我々もこのような腫瘍は、日本の患者の治療のために自分の夢を声することができます何が必要システムに自身with開始行われるチームを誰もが癌治療に関与する夢のサイトがあります。年、医師と外科医、日本の問題は医療制度の最新情報を知っているし、変更をしたい示す以上の大規模な次のように築き上げてきた真の先駆的なサイトです。これは明らかに患者の幸福を最優先されます。
もう1つの先駆的なサイトはCansolは桜井ナオミによって構築されます。桜井は、がんを克服した人、彼女の病気の後で動作させることができず、日本の法制度彼女の原因に同情未満を発見した。彼女は他の生存者の直面してバリアが戻って古いジョブを取得するか、新しいジョブの完全停止を取得、2008年にこのサイトを設立した。桜井の能力と偏見をがんの患者さんで日本全国に直面革命しています。
エイズの意識はまたHIVマップなど、より使いやすいサイト若い視聴者をターゲットと手前に来ている。場合、古い日本財団エイズサイトにあなたがどれだけ日本の社会のメディアの意識のイベントを全国開催されて一緒に来て見ることができる比較。唯一の批判は私がHIVマップサイトに関するそれが露骨にゲイコミュニティを対象に、我々は西ではゲイの病気と他のすべてのHIV /エイズ患者ではないもかもが仕出し料理にハードな方法を学んだのを持っている。しかし、この脇には非常に近代的なサイトは、自分の健康の統計になると、政府機関は、国連など聞いて見せている。
ファーマ
WSJのエーザイによると、400人以上の技術革新のコミュニティと2005年以来、医療関連の問題に焦点を開催しています。また、アルツハイマー病の犠牲者の家族のための社会的プログラムを考案した。すべてのエーザイの従業員は世界全体の少なくとも1つのようなプロジェクトに参加し、同様に患者との時間を費やしている。それは従業員が参照してください理解の問題を、患者が考えるかが重要であり、その従業員の能力を純粋なデータを超えてください。高めることができますので、会社が人の患者との接続と考えているが重要です。私はこの豊かな研究プログラムにブログを書いていきたいところだけどもだけ西部の論文でその詳細を見つけることができる、あらゆる都市のすべての屋根の上から叫んだする必要がありますこのような患者指向の研究計画のための絶対的な曲解。
真の私の会合の後、私はそこに事務所を持つ日本の人口の大規模なセクションが、その進歩は、キー、理想日本の前に何百年も構築されて信じて実現。日本人は、自分が選んだゲームの最前線にされている世界を困惑技術に陶器から技術。それゆえ、彼らはまた、医療分野にもこれをしたいと立って。私はこれらの人々は本当に障害や再臨にされていません、日本の医療の進むべき道を見ることができます。私は日が日本の医薬品は、西に情報を共有する、真にパーソナルていると私は、この日は私たちが本当に何かを学ぶ必要があります来る感じの研究技術を自分たちの扉を開くお待ちしております。
