Eliminate 'Am I Doing This Right?' Anxiety: An AI Buddy You Can Ask During Consultations

MedTech Group Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Kiyotaka Maeda; hereinafter 'MedTech G'), a medical AI and hospital AI PMO company, has started providing a demonstration experiment of a new feature, 'Chat Hippo (Buddy AI)', for resident doctors on its AI platform 'AI Hippo Medical Loop', which is designed to solve the challenges of diagnostic anxiety and educational burden in clinical settings.

This feature allows resident doctors to resolve questions, confirm medical terminology, and organize decision-making materials on the spot during consultations, providing a new clinical environment that supports them as a 'buddy you can ask immediately'.

▼Medical AI Platform 'AI Hippo Medical Loop'

■ Background: 'Diagnostic Anxiety' and Fragmented Learning for Resident Doctors

While gaining experience through daily practice, resident doctors face the following challenges:

These challenges have become routine in the field:

- Frequent situations where they lack confidence in their judgment
- Timing and psychological barriers to asking senior doctors
- Burden of checking medical terms, drugs, and guidelines
- Difficulty balancing clinical practice and learning
- Difficulty systematizing knowledge due to OJT-centric training

All of these stem from 'a lack of an environment for on-the-spot confirmation'.

■ Overview: Reducing Anxiety by 'Being Able to Ask on the Spot'

The newly provided 'Chat Hippo (Buddy AI)' transforms the conventional flow of:

Have a question → Look it up later → Confirm

into:

Have a question → Ask the AI on the spot → Immediate confirmation

■ Main Features

- Immediate confirmation of disease names, symptoms, drugs, and medical terminology
- Summarization and presentation of medical guidelines
- Organization of information for clinical decision-making
- Confirmation and assistance with record content
- Conversational search using natural language

■ Feature: A Clinical Environment Where 'You Don't Have to Worry Alone'

In conventional practice, situations like:

'I don't know, but I'll proceed anyway'
'I'll look it up later'

were common, and there were many cases where decisions were made with anxiety.

This feature provides:

- An environment to resolve questions on the spot
- Records completed just by speaking immediately after care

Achieving:

- Reduced diagnostic anxiety
- Increased peace of mind in practice
- Improved learning efficiency

■ Usage Scenario

For example, during a consultation, inputting questions like:

'What diseases should I consider for this symptom?'
'What are the precautions for this drug?'

will immediately present organized information that can be used as decision-making material.

■ Expected Effects

The introduction of this feature is expected to yield the following effects:

- Reduction of anxiety in decision-making
- Improvement in consultation speed
- Improvement in learning efficiency
- Efficiency in record-keeping and confirmation tasks
- Support for the growth of resident doctors

MedTech Group Inc. was established in 2019 from the 'Ohisama Group', a medical integration group operating hospitals, clinics, home medical care, and nursing care, with the philosophy of being a 'medical AI company that turns medical data into value and supports the field and management'.

The company combines the advanced AI technology base of AI Data Inc. with the clinical expertise of the Ohisama Group to solve structural challenges such as doctor shortages and information fragmentation in local and small-to-medium-sized hospitals. Its core product is the development and provision of 'AI Hippo', a private AI dedicated to medicine.

AI Hippo is a decision-support AI designed for practical use in clinical settings, supporting the thinking of medical professionals. It enables implementation without modifying electronic medical records and within 30 days, and structurally prevents data leakage to the outside through a private environment where data is contained within the hospital. Based on the 'Human in the Loop' philosophy, the system is designed to ensure that the final decision is always made by a medical professional.

In facilities where it has been introduced for demonstration, quantitative results have been confirmed, such as a significant reduction in nursing record creation time from approximately 2 hours to 30 minutes.
