The details of the patent are as follows.

[Subject matter]
The purpose of this patent is to provide an emergency dispatch support system for supporting emergency dispatch.

[Solution]
(1) Using the contents of the call and other information, compare it with other dispatch information, and estimate the patient's injury or illness.
(2) Medical institutions are displayed on the terminals of emergency workers as candidates for delivery destinations.
(3) The paramedics select a medical institution from (2) and make a request for acceptance.
(4) The medical institution that receives the request notifies whether or not it can accept the patient.
The medical institution that can accept the patient shares the patient's injury and illness information with the paramedics.

In this way, the IT system supports "selection of an appropriate hospital," "prompt delivery," and "prompt and accurate treatment after delivery," which are essential for acute care.

It has become a social issue that ambulances are not able to find a hospital to deliver them to and are turned back. As an emergency physician, I developed this system with the aim of solving this problem, improving the delivery of emergency medical services, and making citizens' lives safer. The system supports "lifesaving" by facilitating the series of procedures to bring in injured and sick patients quickly and provide appropriate treatment.

We have already developed "Smart:DR, ACES: Emergency Call System. We have already obtained patents for "Smart:DR, ACES: Emergency Request System, Patient Acceptance System Enhancement Service" (Patent No. 6166114) and "Disaster Information Management System (Triage System)" (Patent No. 6801848).

We will continue to contribute not only to the medical field but also to people in general by embodying our company's philosophy of "Innovation for the reliable future medical care".
