Smart119 Inc. | Innovation for reliable future medical cares

About

CEO Message

"To rescue a patient suffering from a sudden illness or injury" and "To be a medical doctor who can help a patient in emergency". I've aimed of becoming an emergency physician and have been working on medical treatment and research.

Over the past two decades, advance in medical science contributed to save more patients, but on the other hand, I've recognized there are many issues that medical science alone can't solve.

Today, our daily life is improving steadily due to the progress of technology. I also want to apply new technology to acute care and save more emergency patients with flexible and original ideas. I founded Smart119 with this ambition. Our goal of Smart119 is “Innovation for reliable future medical cares".
