Allm Inc., a subsidiary of DeNA Co., Ltd., conducted a demonstration of remote image sharing for telemedicine in Cambodia, based on a partnership agreement signed on March 27, 2025, with the international medical NGO Japan Heart.
Medical standards in Cambodia are significantly lower than in Japan, and a shortage of doctors remains a major challenge. With inadequate healthcare systems and high costs leading many to forgo treatment, Japan Heart has been conducting medical aid activities since 2009. In this effort, Allm utilized its telemedicine support solution, 'Join Mobile Clinic' (JMC), to conduct mobile medical examinations at Kampong Trabek Hospital in Prey Veng Province—a public hospital partnered with Japan Heart—using portable ultrasound devices, X-ray equipment, and electrocardiograms. For diagnoses such as atheromas, local doctors evaluated the images as higher quality than those from existing hospital equipment, confirming the device's superiority.
Furthermore, medical images captured using the 'Join' communication application for healthcare professionals were transmitted to doctors at the Japan Heart Medical Center, located three hours away by car, successfully demonstrating real-time remote diagnosis by specialists.
Moving forward, the company aims to use JMC to help build a system where local medical professionals can maintain sustainable activities and provide high-quality care to patients.
Aligning Japan Heart's mission, 'Bringing medical care to places where it doesn't reach,' with Allm's vision, 'Achieving equitable medical care for all,' the two organizations will continue to work closely with local communities to build a foundation for future-oriented medical support.
