Medical Care Enters the Era of 'Thinking and Circulating with AI'

MedTech Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Kiyotaka Maeda, hereinafter MedTech G), a medical AI and hospital AI PMO company, has started offering 'AI Hippo', an AI platform equipped with 'Medical Loop', a new AI feature designed to support decision-making in medical settings.

## Background: Structural Challenges in Medical Settings
Currently, the following issues are becoming increasingly serious in medical settings:
- 'Personalization', where medical decisions depend on the individual doctor
- 'Non-integration of knowledge', where guidelines, case studies, and internal hospital knowledge are fragmented
- 'Isolation in decision-making' during night shifts and emergency responses
- Chronic increase in the burden on medical staff and the loss of leeway

While traditional medical AI has focused on 'diagnostic support' and 'operational efficiency', this alone has not fundamentally solved the challenges on the ground.

## Solution: A New Concept Called Medical Loop
'Medical Loop' is an AI feature designed as a cycle (Loop) that 'accumulates -> structures -> reuses' all information generated during clinical practice.

## Main Features
■ Clinical Guide Loop
Presents highly reliable medical information according to the clinical content and context.
Supports medical decision-making and enhances the quality and speed of medical care.

■ Clinical Log Loop (SOAP Integration)
Automatically generates clinical notes (SOAP) and nursing records from voice, structuring the clinical content.
Creates summaries based on accumulated data, supporting continuous care and information sharing.

■ Chat Hippo (Internal AI Partner)
As a partner to medical staff, it can be consulted anytime regarding clinical or operational questions.
Operates in a secure internal environment, and data is not used for external learning.

■ Drive Loop (Medical Knowledge Circulation Foundation)
A knowledge base that accumulates and shares knowledge generated within the hospital, feeding it back into the next treatment.
Supports the improvement of medical quality and organizational learning.

## Concept: Human in the Loop
The core philosophy of this product is 'Human in the Loop (Human-centric AI)'.

Rather than AI replacing diagnosis, it functions as a 'partner AI' that:
■ Expands the thinking of medical professionals
■ Enhances the quality and speed of judgment

## Introduction Effects (Expected Value)
- Development of an environment that supports medical decision-making
- Standardization and advancement of the quality of medical care
- Support for the education and training of medical professionals, including doctors and nurses
- Sharing and reuse of knowledge through the accumulation of clinical and nursing data
- Capitalization of medical data and its utilization for management

## Future Development
With the Medical Loop at its core, AI Hippo will advance:
■ The construction of an AI foundation that supports the clinical practice and operation of the entire hospital
■ The accumulation, visualization, and analysis of data through integration with the medical data platform (IDX)
