In the future, more medical institutions will be able to treat patients with fever, including those who do not have a family doctor. Due to the change to category 5 infectious diseases, fever, including hospitalization procedures for positive people, cooperation with emergency personnel, management of positive people, and consideration for the elderly and patients with underlying diseases, which were previously handled by public health centers. Each medical institution is required to take on more duties than before, such as establishing a mixed medical care system for outpatients and general outpatients.
In response to the increased workload on the part of medical professionals due to the demand for a wide range of patients to be accepted in the future, conducting preliminary interviews with “Symptom Word Chat” will improve the efficiency of the following operations and reduce the risk of infection due to non-contact interviews. can be expected to decrease.
・Efficient handling of telephone calls and counters (effective for regional medical institutions with limited outpatient staff) ・Reducing the risk of infection by supporting each patient’s smartphone ・Strengthen the management system by grasping the patient’s wishes (preferring influenza testing, history of drug side effects, not good at powders, etc.)
・Promote uninterrupted medical examinations by grasping the symptoms of patients and prevent the spread of infection among patients ・Smooth coordination of patient information among healthcare professionals ・Efficient recording of paper medical records and electronic medical records [Communication support during medical examination]
In addition, there are the following merits in the field where cooperation between medical clerical staff, nurses, and doctors is expected to be strengthened and patient satisfaction in the clinical setting is expected.

[Image 3: https://prtimes.jp/i/33917/38/resize/d33917-38-21ca25c043edb87b3c25-6.jpg&s3=33917-38-c0ff4b257bf84651ec422e34510eba17-1000×1000.jpg] “Symptom Word Chat” is a service that overturns the concept of medical questionnaires so far in that the main subject is the patient. Patients feel a lot of pressure, such as “I wonder if I should say this” or “I have to answer right away”. Patients who use the symptom word chat answer in their own words while looking down on themselves, and as a result, the content of the patient’s inquiry that is finally shared with the doctor is created from the doctor’s point of view so far. I was very surprised by the fact that it was different from the content of the interview. We believe that it is a service that is expected to further develop in the future with a design based on the patient’s point of view, which asks questions with unparalleled consideration, and the record base of medical professionals.

At the regular MTG once a week, we received careful direction every time, and we were able to clarify the service more clearly by assuming the product image and user cases at the stage before starting development. From development to testing, they supported us without compromise, and we received a great deal of help in technical areas that were difficult for us to realize. Also, it was very reassuring to have a team with various proposals in the process of putting it into the design, UI/UX, and development process while understanding the direction of the business and the direction of the service. ispec is a company with a sincere team for work. I believe that this sincerity draws out the power of companies and services that we work together with, and gives shape to it. I look forward to working with you again in the future.

With the vision of “solving mental problems”, we provide system development support specialized in the healthcare field. I strongly sympathized with the patient-oriented medical approach that SHANRI is working on, and supported the development. We believe that it will be a service that can pick up words and symptoms that are inevitably leaked from a doctor’s diagnosis. Thank you for your support.
