Our company supports April Dream, an initiative to share dreams on April 1st. This press release represents the dream of Doctorqube Inc.
■Background of the Dream
"Bringing 'Yutorism' to Healthcare..."
We want to create a world where both busy medical sites and anxious patients have 'yutori' (leeway/relaxation). This desire is the origin of our product, "Doctorqube," and our dream, "Bringing 'Yutorism' to Healthcare..."
"Yutorism" is a coined word combining "yutori" (leeway/relaxation) and "rhythm." In modern healthcare, what's important isn't just efficiency. It's about having space for people and time. What we aim to achieve is not mere labor-saving, but a "yutori rhythm" born between people and between people and time – that is, Yutorism.
Currently, medical settings frequently face situations that make it difficult to have "leeway" due to long waiting times, sudden congestion, and concentrated phone calls. Patients experience the anxiety of "not knowing how much longer they have to wait," while clinic staff are constantly overwhelmed by "the next incoming task." As a result, the "time to focus on each individual," which should be prioritized, is often squeezed.
We believe this situation is not merely a problem of "busyness" but is related to the overall experience of healthcare.
■Our Efforts So Far
Through our appointment system "Doctorqube," we have been working to alleviate congestion and daily burdens in medical settings by responding to the needs of clinics.
In addition to optimizing and visualizing appointments, our system, which is deeply familiar with medical environments, helps reduce patient anxiety about waiting times and supports the creation of an environment where clinics can concentrate on their core operations, including reminders for appointment timing.
The result is not just "time saving." Small "gaps" accumulate in the daily operations, such as a little more leeway in reception interactions and more moments to take a breath between consultations.
■Towards Clinics Where You Can Relax
We focus not only on efficiency but also on the "quality of time spent."
For example, with image slideshows and in-clinic displays linked to BRAVIA TVs, we transform waiting time from a mere "blank" into a time that can be spent with peace of mind by simultaneously displaying video content along with call status and announcements.
The tense waiting time transforms into a slightly more relaxing time. It may seem like a small difference, but we believe the accumulation of such moments leads to a clinic experience that makes patients want to return.
Furthermore, through LINE-based appointment and reminder functions, patients can connect with healthcare seamlessly as part of their daily lives.
Being able to book and confirm appointments using familiar tools without requiring special operations reduces pre-visit anxiety and effort, bringing people a little closer to healthcare.
We believe this "experiential comfort" is also an important element in creating "yutori" in healthcare.
■Employee Sentiments
Bringing 'Yutorism' to Healthcare...
This is not just a phrase for operational efficiency. It is a dream to create an environment where everyone involved in healthcare can have a little more leeway and focus on what they truly want to cherish.
For patients, it means a place they can visit with peace of mind. For doctors and clinic staff, it means an environment where they can continue to work without burnout.
We believe that by achieving both of these, healthcare will become a better thing.
