In September 2021, the emergency medical service "Smart119" was selected for the "TRY! YAMANASHI! Demonstration Experiment Support Project" sponsored by Yamanashi Prefecture, and a field survey was conducted in the fall of the same year, followed by a verification experiment in December, with the aim of solving the problem of emergency transport difficulties (ambulances being rejected by multiple hospitals) in Yamanashi Prefecture. On January 18, 2022, the final stage of the demonstration experiment was conducted with the participation of the Higashi Yamanashi Fire Department, Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital, Yamanashi Kosei Hospital, and the University of Yamanashi Hospital.
◆70% reduction in hospital selection and negotiation time for EMS teams
In three emergency cases, the time required for hospital selection and negotiation was reduced by 70%. A questionnaire survey was conducted after the completion of the project, and the emergency team said that "The stress in hospital selection and negotiation was reduced", and "The effectiveness in accepting emergency patients" were approved by the medical institutions. In addition, for each emergency case, we received an open feedback and frank opinions from the participants, which made the experiment conscious of the implementation of the system in Yamanashi Prefecture.
Based on the results of the questionnaire and the figures, it was recognized that this system, which shares information on emergency patients between emergency teams and medical institutions, is a promising solution to transportation difficulties and will contribute to the safety and security of the lives of the people of Yamanashi Prefecture.
◆Implementation Guidelines
Date and time of implementation: January 18, 2022 16:00-17:00
Participants: Higashi Yamanashi Fire Department, Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital, Yamanashi Kosei Hospital, University of Yamanashi Hospital, Yamanashi Prefectural Government, Smart119 Inc.

Smart119 Inc. announces that its emergency medical service "Smart119" (Patent No. 6875734) has been selected for the "Local Innovation Challenge HOKKAIDO", a governmental open innovation project organized by the Sapporo Collaborative Core City Region (collaboration of 12 municipalities). In this project, we will conduct a demonstration experiment in Sapporo City with the aim of solving one of the regional and administrative issues, "having difficulties in transporting emergency patients quickly to hospitals for treatment, when they get rejected by multiple hospitals". We will analyze the data obtained and develop and operate Smart119 optimized for Sapporo City.
The "Local Innovation Challenge HOKKAIDO" is one of the largest open innovation projects in Japan by 12 municipalities (*) within the Sapporo Core City area, aiming to solve regional and administrative issues. In fiscal year 2021, the call was for applications in the field affected by the spread of the new coronavirus, and the emergency medical information service "Smart119" was adopted in the category of "prevention of fire and accidents leading to emergency calls.
This service, which was adopted this time, was developed from the perspective of emergency and medical care as a solution to the social issue of the difficulty in getting emergency patients quickly to hospitals (ambulances being rejected by multiple hospitals). The system has been in operation at the Chiba City Fire Department since July 2020, and in the "TRY! YAMANASHI! Demonstration Experiment Support Project" sponsored by Yamanashi Prefecture, which was adopted in September 2021, a demonstration experiment was conducted from December of the same year. The results showed a reduction in the time required to negotiate with hospitals and to make a decision to accept a patient at a medical institution, and the project was recognized as making a contribution to improving the life-saving rate.
In this demonstration experiment, we will investigate the regional characteristics of Sapporo City (number of emergencies, transport time, number of medical institutions, etc.), optimize the system, and verify its operation. Outcome indicators will include time measurements and questionnaires to the fire department and medical institutions. Ultimately, we will work toward the introduction of this system in Sapporo City. We aim to support acute medical care and contribute to the "creation of a city where citizens feel safe.

◆Implementation period of the demonstration experiment
From April 2022 to the end of December 2022
◆Details of the Smart119 verification experiment
The emergency medical support system "Smart119", which enables real-time information sharing between the emergency command center, emergency teams, and hospitals using AI and voice recognition, will be introduced to the Sapporo Fire Department on a trial basis to verify whether it can improve the efficiency, optimization, and quality of emergency transport operations.
We are pleased to announce that we will conduct a demonstration experiment of the emergency medical service "Smart119" (Patent No. 6875734) at the Higashi Yamanashi Fire Department, Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital, Yamanashi Kosei Hospital, and the University of Yamanashi Hospital on January 18, 2022.
The emergency medical information service "Smart119," which was adopted for the "TRY! YAMANASHI! Demonstration Experiment Support Project," is a system that supports the field activities of emergency teams by "requesting acceptance at once," "sharing information with medical institutions," and "building a smooth acceptance system," with the aim of resolving cases of emergency transport difficulties (emergency deliveries). The system was developed from the perspective of emergency and medical services, and is currently in operation in Chiba City.
Since the adoption of this support project, we have surveyed the number of emergencies, transport time, and the number of medical institutions in the area subject to the demonstration experiment, and are developing a system that is tailored to the characteristics of the area. level 1, the initial stage of the demonstration experiment, was conducted at the Higashi Yamanashi Fire Department on December 20, 2021.
As a result of an operational simulation comparing the time required to select and negotiate with a hospital in an emergency with conventional phone calls and with a batch request and information sharing system using Smart119 tablet terminals, this system reduced the time required to select and negotiate with a hospital by 34.8%, or an average of 1 minute and 48 seconds.
Based on these results, the final stage of the verification experiment, Level 2 and Level 3, will be conducted on January 18, 2022, as follows.
◆Implementation Guidelines
Date: Tuesday, January 18, 2022, 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Location: Higashi Yamanashi Fire Department, Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital, Yamanashi Kosei Hospital, University of Yamanashi Hospital
Participation : Higashi Yamanashi Fire Department, Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital, Yamanashi Kosei Hospital, University of Yamanashi Hospital, Yamanashi Prefectural Government, Smart119 Inc.
Implementing team: One Ambulance team (Shioyama Ambulance)
◆Objective
Using the Smart119 system and a tablet, the team made a batch request to three medical institutions for acceptance of a fictitious emergency case, and measured the time required for hospital selection and negotiation. In addition to improving the efficiency of information transmission and shortening the time spent at the scene, we will verify the effects of reducing the workload and stress of emergency teams and the convenience of medical institutions.
Through a series of demonstration experiments, we aim to prove the effectiveness of the emergency medical information service "Smart119," eliminate cases of emergency transport difficulties (Ambulances being rejected from multiple hospitals) in Yamanashi Prefecture, and contribute to the establishment of a medical system that allows the citizens of the prefecture to feel secure.
