Expert Medical Specialist Consultation Service 'Medii Econsult' Surpasses 2,000 Responding Specialist Doctors

Tokyo, Japan - April 19, 2026 - Medii Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & Physician: Yuki Yamada; hereinafter referred to as Medii), the operator of the expert medical specialist consultation service for doctors 'Medii Econsult', announced today that the number of expert medical specialists providing answers to case consultations has surpassed 2,000. By connecting the advanced expertise of frontline doctors in each specialty with clinical sites nationwide, a robust knowledge-sharing network has been established. ## Expanding Network for Diagnosis, Regional Cooperation, Education, and Research Medii Econsult is a completely free service that allows doctors to anonymously chat and consult with experts in various specialized fields regarding clinical questions such as diagnosis and treatment plans. Based on over 2,000 expert specialists, its utilization is expanding as infrastructure that multi-faceted supports the Japanese healthcare system, going beyond case consultations to include regional medical cooperation, education, and research. * Supporting Clinical Decision-Making Consultations with specialists are conducted on cases where there are no available specialists within the hospital or among acquaintances, or when information from papers and guidelines alone is insufficient for judgment. The consultations are tailored to the patient's specific condition and background. * Regional Medical Cooperation Information sharing between medical institutions and collaborative efforts between general practitioners and specialists in different regions are facilitated through regional expert specialist groups. * Training and Education for Young Doctors The service is also being adopted by academic societies, serving as an educational tool for society members aimed at fostering the next generation of specialist doctors. * Utilization in Research Efforts are underway to organize and accumulate information obtained through case consultations for research purposes. * Communication within Hospitals The service is used as a communication tool for doctors within a hospital to share medical information and exchange opinions in an environment specifically designed for the exchange of medical information. ## Expert Knowledge Network Supporting Areas Only 'Humans' Can Address in the AI Era The advancement of AI has greatly improved access to information such as academic papers and guidelines. Medii's AI search for doctors, 'Medii Q', also helps doctors shorten their information gathering time by organizing vast amounts of evidence in a short period. However, in clinical practice, there are many areas where guidelines and papers are not yet sufficiently organized, or 'questions without right answers' that, while having evidence, cannot be directly applied. In fact, approximately 90% of frontline doctors face cases that cannot be resolved even after research⁴. However, there are extremely few expert specialists proficient in specific diseases domestically, leading to a現状 of uneven distribution of knowledge. This insufficient dissemination of expert knowledge to the medical field results in prolonged diagnoses and missed opportunities for optimal treatment. In an era where medicine is highly specialized and fragmented, this is no longer a barrier that can be overcome by individual doctors' diligence and effort alone. Medii has over 2,000 expert specialists registered who are engaged in clinical practice and research at the forefront of their respective fields. Aiming to build an expert knowledge network that supports areas only 'humans' can address, which AI cannot replace, especially in this AI era, we will continue to expand our services. ⁴ As of October 2023, according to Medii's survey (survey of 2,000 responding expert specialists).
