An increasing population of elderly people and the lack of medical staff and facilities have become big issues in local areas in Japan. To solve these issues, many approaches have been tried, such as telemedical services, medical cooperation among rural regions, efficient emergency medical services and the utilization of Personal Health Record (PHR) by using the latest advanced IoT/ICT technologies.
