Aillis Wins METI Minister's Award at the 10th Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award for AI Medical Device

Aillis Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Sho Okiyama) received the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award at the 10th Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award for its initiative, 'Digitization of Pharyngeal Examination through the Development and Promotion of AI Medical Device "nodoca".' An award ceremony was held at the Prime Minister's Office on March 25. The Monodzukuri Nippon Grand Award is a government recognition system honoring those who lead manufacturing sites and develop innovative products that inherit and advance Japanese industrial culture. The company was highly evaluated for developing a system that determines infectious diseases based on images of the throat and clinical information without the need for specimen collection, and for creating a structure of 'new value creation through data utilization' where data circulates to benefit patients and medical staff. The medical data used for diagnosis through nodoca is processed legally and appropriately while ensuring privacy, contributing to the further improvement of the pharyngeal AI algorithm. The information and medical experiences gained through this product serve as a 'resource' for society, creating a cycle that is returned to medical practice and utilized for future patients. Aillis will continue to promote the social implementation of cutting-edge technologies including AI to address changing medical needs and build a sustainable healthcare infrastructure.
