Service Concept

Service Introduction Video

About the Service Logo
The logo of Igaku-Shoin UNITAS contains two main meanings.
Integration of Medical Information
UNITAS is the Latin root of the English word Unite, meaning 'to make one' or 'to connect'. It directly expresses the service's role of connecting scattered medical information and returning it to the clinical frontlines. Unitas Blue, symbolizing sincerity and intelligence, and Unitas Red, representing resonating passion, are arranged as dots, illustrating how 'diffused' information 'converges', and then 'diffuses' again as it is applied in clinical settings.
Wisdom of Asclepius, God of Medicine
The 'AS' at the end of UNITAS takes its meaning from the first two letters of Asclepius, the god of medicine, containing the concept that utilizing integrated medical information touches upon the wisdom of the medical deity.
Rich Content: Over 400,000 Medical Items on a Single Platform
It features a robust content lineup including 'Kyo no Shinryo' (Today's Diagnosis), a comprehensive medical database collecting 100,000 clinical articles, approximately 350 books, 22 medical journals (about 320,000 articles), and medical news.
Kyo no Shinryo: A comprehensive clinical database where you can search disease information, treatments, pharmaceuticals, and prescription examples on one platform. On Igaku-Shoin UNITAS, these recorded items can be viewed by consuming tickets.
Books: Contains books targeted at doctors, with plans to expand the recorded titles in the future.
Journals: Includes back issues, allowing searches across more than 320,000 domestic articles and viewing on an article-by-article basis.
About the Ticket Program
The 'Ticket Program', a unique mechanism of UNITAS, is a new usage model that enables full-text trial reading of medical books and spot-viewing of medical journal articles. Tickets can be acquired through either logging in or performing actions.
3 Steps to Use
STEP 1: Log in with an Igaku-Shoin ID and earn daily tickets
STEP 2: Access desired content via cross-search
STEP 3: Use tickets to view the content
More Convenient with Stock Tickets
Stock tickets are valid for two months and can be acquired through actions such as answering surveys, or through a paid plan scheduled for release in June 2026. They can be saved until you have a block of time available.
Making Medical Information Easier to Utilize in Every Scenario
The ticket program makes it easier to utilize specialized medical information in all kinds of situations. When both parties participate in the ticket program, it can also be used for training and guiding junior staff.
Clinical Frontlines: For cases where diagnosis is difficult, instantly check the latest treatment guidelines in 'Kyo no Shinryo'.
