- December 8, 2022
Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd. (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Hiroyuki Iwasaki; hereafter “MDV”), a company that promotes the networking of medical information, is pleased to announce that “Karteco,” a PHR (Personal Health Record) system developed and provided by MDV, has won the Innovative Business Model Award in the social industry-specific ASP / SaaS category at “ASPIC IoT, AI, and Cloud Award 2022,” sponsored by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.
Comment from President Iwasaki
While nearly 60% of those who have undergone medical checkups have medical findings, using a system that can send e-mails recommending to see a doctor and receive appropriate medical treatment will lead to early detection and treatment of chronic diseases, which in turn will help solve social issues by extending healthy life expectancy and optimizing medical costs. We will continue to expand “Karteco” service to achieve a society in which people can choose their medical care.
