*2 Award given to 100 products with the highest level of recognition, selected from the Good Design Award winners.
Medical Cloud Service ＜Good Design Best 100＞
This cloud service allows users to use a variety of medical software applications, which previously had to be installed on a server or computers within medical institutions, on a basis of pay-per-use or fixed charges. The service eliminates the need to install a physical server, thereby reducing users’ initial cost. Users can easily choose functions and applications they want at the dedicated portal site.
Judges’ comment
IT-based medical consultation software has been evolving rapidly, as seen in the recent rise in AI-based diagnostic support. However, the cost of introducing such medical software is unaffordable for many clinics, which account for about 60% of all medical institutions in Japan, potentially creating disparity in healthcare services. This service is innovative in that the concept of “trial” and “pay-per-use” subscription service, which has become part of daily life, is applied to the advanced medical field. We give high recognition to its ability to solve the issue of medical disparity and offer benefits of medical technologies to all.
