SDP Japan is pioneering a transformative approach to surgical care in response to Japan’s rapidly aging population and rising demand in high-growth specialties such as orthopedics and cardiovascular medicine. By building integrated medical platforms that combine patient engagement, facility development, and operational support, the company enables surgeons to focus on their clinical expertise while guiding patients toward the most appropriate treatment options. This model eliminates fragmentation in surgical care and creates a streamlined, accessible pathway for both patients and providers.
Amid growing demand — with surgical procedures in key specialties increasing 5–8% annually — SDP Japan’s model addresses critical gaps in healthcare access and infrastructure, particularly in urban hubs where it has already established surgery-focused institutions. However, systemic challenges persist across regional areas, where aging populations face limited access to specialists and infrastructure. SDP Japan aims to close this disparity by expanding its proven model into underserved regions, using technology and data-driven operations to modernize care delivery across Japan.
The recently secured $31 million in Series D funding will play a crucial role in scaling these efforts. The capital will support the rollout of next-generation surgical care facilities and enhance collaboration with healthcare stakeholders to rebuild infrastructure in regional cities. By combining startup agility with healthcare expertise, SDP Japan is positioned to modernize Japan’s surgical ecosystem—delivering sustainable, equitable, and high-quality care nationwide, and setting a new standard for healthcare innovation in super-aging societies.
