T-ICU Co., Ltd. is to ensure high-quality medical care by providing remote consultation services (Relieve) and remote monitoring systems (Close-by) on intensive care, and emergency care.
We have intensive care certified doctors and nurses to provide highly specialized support for medical facilities.
Our mission is to create an environment where everyone can receive the highest level of medical care and create a society in which they can enjoy peace of mind.
The problem in Japan is that only 0.6% of the total doctors have advanced training in intensive care unit (ICU). Due to the shortage of ICU specialists, general physicians/surgeons perform in ICU. They are forced to treat with anxiety and less knowledge on intensive care-related guidelines. As a result, they are overburdened with their duties. The new pandemic COVID-19 has also been creating extreme pressure on existing resources.
We launched a new measure against covid-19 in collaboration with Kobe City in August 2020. This is the first project in Japan that a local government has taken the initiative to introduce Tele-ICU to hospitals, and it has been introduced to hospitals in Kobe City.
We also undertake the Japan International Cooperation Agency 's(JICA) ICU Telemedicine Support Survey Project in developing countries to support for COVID-19 counter measures with the Japan model of ICU Telemedicine.
