Smart119 Inc. (Head Office: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; President & CEO: Taka-aki Nakada / An AI technology company for emergency medical care) , announced that Smart119, an emergency medical support system developed and operated by Smart119 Inc., has been adopted by the Chiba Fire Department and will be installed in 25 ambulances of the Chiba Fire Department Joint Command Center and the department's ambulances to provide actual emergency medical care starting July 20.
Smart119 Inc. (Smart 119) won the "Next Emergency Information Sharing System Lease" tender conducted by Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, for the purpose of "changing today's "119"(119 is the number for emergency calls in Japan) and concluded a contract on April 24 this year. The emergency information sharing system "Smart119" will be put into operation at the actual emergency medical treatment site from July 20, following the test operation.
Smart119 was developed through a research and development project (project cost: 275 million yen, 2016 - March 31, 2019) funded by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED), in collaboration with the Graduate School of Medicine, Chiba University, in response to the needs of emergency and fire departments.
The field of emergency medicine faces many challenges, and we aim to solve them with advanced technology and creative ideas to provide reliable emergency care. The number of emergency calls to 119 is on the rise, and the need for efficiency and optimization is becoming a common social issue throughout Japan.
One of the major problems is that the flow from the 119 call to the emergency team rushing to the hospital is an analog relay, which results in information restriction and confusion. This also leads to delays of transferring patients efficiently.
Despite the advancements in information technology, this problem is still unsolved in the emergency department.
"Smart119" enabled information on 119 calls to the Chiba Fire Department Joint Command Center to be entered automatically into a tablet device, at the same time immediately checking the hospital availability and to be shared with emergency crews. This system helps to reduce the inefficient transportation of patients, and ensure they get to the right medical institutions quickly.
Smart119 differs from existing systems in that patient information can be entered automatically via voice recognition as well as via a touch screen or keyboard on a dedicated Android tablet device. By picking up the voice from the operator at the firefighting command center, we have succeeded in reducing the time required to enter information by about 80%.
◆AI-based "predictive diagnosis" algorithms are nearing completion
Another feature of "Smart119" is the development of a "predictive diagnosis" algorithm that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI), which is not available in other systems. In the case of serious diseases such as stroke or acute myocardial infarction, it is important to select a specialist hospital as the destination. The algorithm based on data collected so far with the cooperation of the Chiba City Fire Department has made it possible to predict ROC curves (Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve) with a high accuracy of AUC (Area Under Curve) = 0.881. Development is underway with the goal of implementing the algorithm in Smart119 by fall of this year.
Dr. Taka-aki Nakada, CEO of Smart119 Inc. and Professor of Emergency Intensive Care Medicine at Chiba University Graduate School of Medicine, said: "After four years of development, Smart119 has finally been installed in ambulances and is now playing an active role in the field of medicine, which gives me a great sense of accomplishment."
In the future, we will not only spread the use of Smart119 across the nation's emergency medical services, but also promote the practical application of AI prediction and the development of a 'personal application' that stores information on regular medication and pre-existing conditions with the patient's permission and communicates this information to the emergency services and hospitals in case of emergency.
We aim to make a contribution for better acute care.

On July 16th, TBS "NSTA" (3:49pm~) our CEO, Dr. Nakada appeared in the studio to talk about the current situation of COVID-19.
【The main points he talked about on N-STA】
In the first wave of the COVID-19, the number of severe cases increased later than the number of positive cases.
COVID-19 is highly contagious, so it is highly likely that the number of severe cases will increase in the future.
-COVID-19 is highly infectious
Since the epidemic is centered in urban areas, large-scale migration from urban to rural areas may increase the number of infections.
-Respiratory failure is a characteristic of critically ill patients
Respiratory failure is a characteristic of critically ill patients, and they are being treated with increased support: oxygenation → ventilator → ECMO
There are still many unanswered questions, and accurate prediction is difficult.

Japan has entered a hot summer, with the alarm over the COVID-19 situation still unresolved. In a hot and humid climate that raises concerns about our health, how should we live our lives while taking care of infectious diseases?
Smart119, Inc., a group of medical professionals including doctors, paramedics, and nurses, publishes illustrations that provide easy-to-understand explanations of correct knowledge gained in the field of emergency medicine for medical professionals and the general public.
For its sixth work, the company chose the subject of "Prevention of heat stroke caused by the COVID-19 disaster. It explains in an easy-to-understand manner the risks of using masks and air conditioners, which are currently essential, the importance of sharing one's own information with those close to you on a daily basis, and consideration for the elderly. These materials can be freely used by schools, companies, public institutions, etc., for example, by printing them as posters or handouts.
Smart119 Inc. was established by Dr. Taka-aki Nakada, a professor at Chiba University, a national university corporation, who specializes in emergency intensive care medicine. By introducing new technology into the field of acute care, we hope to save many emergency patients with flexible and original ideas, and contribute to the medical care in Japan.
◆Theme
What emergency and intensive care physicians can teach us about preventing heat stroke caused by the new coronary syndrome
◆Commentator
Dr. Taka-aki Nakada
Professor, Department of Emergency and Intensive Care Medicine, Chiba University
◆Precautions for masks and air conditioners
Masks interfere with heat radiation and may cause breathing problems. Pay attention to water intake. Many air conditioners do not have a ventilation function, so be sure to open a window for ventilation.
◆The importance of communication
Be aware of changes in your physical condition and communicate regularly with your family and friends. Try to maintain a "physical distance" rather than a "social distance," and don't lose touch with people.
◆Cautions especially for the elderly
Many heat stroke cases occur indoors, especially among the elderly, who are considered to be vulnerable to heat stroke. It is important to talk to each other and pay attention to each other in order to prevent heat stroke.
