Mavericks Adds Medical Industry Sample Slides to Video Generation AI 'NoLang' Slide Generation Feature. Supports 5 Use Cases Including Patient Explanations, New Hire Training, and Webinars.

Mavericks, Inc. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative: CEO Shota Okuno), provider of the video generation AI "NoLang" originating from Japan, has recently added new sample slides tailored for the medical industry to its slide generation feature. By simply inputting existing materials such as clinical guideline PDFs, clinical pathways, and procedural manuals, it automatically generates explanatory slides with diagrams and videos with narration. It supports five distinct use cases—ranging from patient explanations and examination guidance to new nurse training, webinar presentations, and waiting room digital signage. As the issues of long working hours for doctors and nursing shortages become increasingly severe, this feature contributes to alleviating the burden of material creation while maintaining the high quality of informed consent.

■ Worsening Issues of Doctors' Long Working Hours and Nursing Shortages: Material Creation Strains Medical Frontlines

At hospitals and clinics, medical professionals routinely face the task of creating materials to "communicate and ensure understanding"—such as explaining examinations, surgeries, and treatments to patients, conducting training for new nurses, and presenting at webinars. While the importance of informed consent is growing, the time of doctors and nurses is heavily constrained by clinical duties. Maintaining the quality of explanatory materials within this limited time has become a significant challenge on the frontlines.

This burden of material creation becomes even more pronounced as task-shifting (transferring tasks to other professions) progresses. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the outpatient placement rate of medical administrative assistants, whose scope of work includes the proxy creation of explanatory documents for patients and families, has reached 87.9% (*1). This strongly indicates a growing awareness that the creation of explanatory materials is a task that should be detached from doctors' primary duties. The need for customization per clinical department and individual patient further exacerbates the burden of material creation.

The resources of medical professionals expected to absorb this burden are becoming increasingly strained year by year. According to another Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare survey, the actual weekly working hours of hospital doctors average 61.3 hours (*2). With the "Work Style Reform for Doctors" enforced in April 2024, the upper limit for overtime work was generally restricted to 960 hours per year. However, reports indicate that approximately 40% of full-time hospital doctors are still engaged in long working hours exceeding this 960-hour annual limit (*3). Regarding nurses, a survey by the Japanese Nursing Association shows that the turnover rate for regularly employed nursing staff in fiscal 2023 reached 11.8%, and a maximum shortage of approximately 270,000 nurses is projected by 2025 (*4). It is unrealistic to expect them to handle patient explanations and material creation for new training while executing clinical and ward duties with limited personnel and time. The ongoing reality on the frontlines remains: "We want to communicate properly, but we lack the time to prepare the materials."

To address this critical issue, NoLang has newly added sample slides specifically tailored for the medical industry to its slide generation feature.

*1 Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare: "Survey on Measures to Reduce the Burden on Hospital Doctors" (Survey on the actual placement of medical administrative assistants)
*2 Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare: "Survey on the Actual Working Conditions and Intentions Regarding Work Styles of Doctors" (Targeting hospital doctors nationwide)
*3 Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare: "Work Style Reform for Doctors: Overtime Work Upper Limit Regulations" (Enforced April 2024)
*4 Japanese Nursing Association: "2024 Report on Actual Conditions of Hospital Nursing" (Targeting hospital nursing departments nationwide)

■ Batch Generation of Slides and Videos from Guidelines and Manuals: Newly Equipped for the Medical Sector

NoLang's slide generation feature can automatically generate slides complete with diagrams, charts, and headings based on source materials like text and PDFs, and can directly output them as narrated videos. A key strength is its ability to complete the entire process—from slide creation to video production—on a single service platform. This provides an end-to-end solution for workflows that previously required preparing separate material creation and video production tools and mastering each interface. Existing materials accumulated in medical settings, such as clinical guideline PDFs, clinical pathways (care plans), examination procedure manuals, surgical technique manuals, and existing explanatory PPTs, can be inputted directly as raw materials. These can then be efficiently transformed into patient explanation materials, training content, internal hospital presentations, and webinar slides.

With this update, sample slides specifically customized for the medical industry have been added to this slide generation feature. By selecting a sample slide as a template, users can immediately begin creating slides with designs and structures suited to their specific purpose. For example, if you wish to create patient explanation materials for informed consent in outpatient settings, you simply select the corresponding sample slide, upload the clinical guideline PDF or existing PPT materials, and the system instantly generates easily understandable slides complete with illustrations and diagrams.
