AI Medical Record "medimo" Releases "Multilingual Function" Supporting Mixed Japanese and English Conversations

medimo Inc., a medical AI startup led by doctors (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yo Nakahara), is pleased to announce the release of its new "Multilingual Version" feature, which supports the recognition and summarization of conversations that mix Japanese and English.

Background of the New Feature Release

In recent years, with the increase in foreign residents and inbound tourists, opportunities for medical consultations in English have also increased in medical settings. However, conventional AI speech recognition systems have faced challenges in maintaining accuracy for transcription and summarization in medical situations where Japanese and other languages are mixed.

The newly implemented "Multilingual Function" enables smooth transcription and summary generation even in actual medical conversations where Japanese and English are intertwined. This allows for seamless medical record creation across language barriers, significantly reducing the administrative burden on doctors.

Features of the "Multilingual Function"

1. High-precision recognition of mixed Japanese and English conversations
   By selecting the "Multilingual Version" setting, the AI automatically recognizes and transcribes both languages even in conversations where Japanese and English are mixed. No switch operations are required to change languages, ensuring a natural flow of conversation.

2. Translates English parts and generates summaries in Japanese
   For parts of the transcribed content spoken in English, the system translates them into Japanese according to the context and then creates a summary. This makes it possible to instantly create medical records in Japanese, conforming to Japanese medical chart standards, even if the conversation itself was conducted in English.

3. Supports output in English format
   By using a dedicated summary template, it is also possible to create SOAP format summaries in English from transcribed data that mixes Japanese and English. This supports output in the appropriate language for various uses, such as sharing with patients or handing over to foreign doctors.

Other Update Information

• Obtained ISO/IEC 27001 international standard certification for information security
  As a service handling highly confidential patient medical information (sensitive personal information), we have obtained international standard certification for SMS (Information Security Management System). In addition to complying with the conventional "3 Ministries 2 Guidelines," the objective proof of our international standard security management system further supports safe and secure medical DX.

• Visualization of recording count (number of consultations)
  To enhance transparency of usage, we have added a function to display the "recording count" in addition to the existing "usage minutes." This allows for a quick grasp of usage based on the number of consultations.

• Enhanced user dictionary function
  We have made corrections to ensure that registered specialized terms and proper nouns are correctly reflected in summary texts. This enables the creation of more accurate medical charts tailored to the characteristics of each medical institution.
