Abstract
Patient-centric medical care is necessary to improve patients' quality of life. However, to realize patient-centric medical care, it is necessary to increase the time spent facing patients by reducing the burden of routine tasks and paperwork performed by healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and pharmacists. Since 2018, Hitachi, Ltd. has been conducting research and development of smart communication technology that coordinates people with IT, robots, and other technologies in collaboration with several medical institutions, under the "Innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Hospital Program", one of twelve in the 2nd term of Cross-ministerial Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP) led by Cabinet Office.
In this presentation, we will mainly describe AI interview system for a side effect of outpatients undergoing drug therapy for cancer and eConsent, which digitizes the process of obtaining consent from patients required in various situations such as examination, treatment, and hospitalization at medical institutions.
By using these digital technologies, we would like to contribute to realization of the digital transformation of Healthcare and Medical care, which will contribute to reforming the work styles of healthcare professionals and improving patient QoL.
