Technologies Caring for “Future Lifestyle”

Shining Medical Town
Let’s touch people in the town to take a look at future medical care changed by the introduction of online systems.

Mitsubishi Electric Group Technologies to Achieve "Future Lifestyles"

Technology to Detect
and Notify
the “Current” Situation on the Spot
- kizkia -

It’s difficult to try to find something with human eyes alone.

With kizkia, AI will find it automatically and let you know!

Automatically detect a person/thing/situation you want to find and notify it.

Find with AI that works tirelessly on behalf of human eyes.

Technology to
Capture Wide Areas in Real Time
- Fairyview -

It’s difficult to see which area is crowded from images captured by cameras from different angles…

Fairyview enables smooth guidance!

Combine multiple camera images into one and display it as a bird’s eye view or panoramic image.

Check the location in real time through seamless image montage.

Fairyview can be found very useful in places
such as: Fireworks sites
such as: Concert halls

Technology to
Automatically Inspect Rail tracks
and Roads While in Motion
- MMSD -

It takes a lot of effort to examine from one end of a road or tunnel to the other with human power alone.

With MMSD, inspection will be completed before you know it by just moving.

Measure small cracks or leaks automatically while moving at 50km/h.

By measuring high-definition photos and 3-dimensional data at the same time and displaying the one over the other, the conditions of cracks, etc., as well as their positions can be identified correctly.

Detect obstacles automatically, such as nearby trees.

Fairyview can be found very useful in places
such as: bridges
such as: roads
such as: rail tracks

Technology to Support
Safe Train Operations
- Railroad LMS on INFOPRISM -

What causes delays in train services? It could be accidents, train failures, crowded carriages, etc.

Railroad LMS on INFOPRISM can help

Improve the efficiency of maintenance work on railcars, including inspections, testing and repairs, as well as enable different railway operators to share and utilize their data, by collecting and analyzing various information on railroad cars in real-time.

Analysis of monitoring data on the status of railroad cars in operation allows automatic decision-making on the health of each device.

By understanding the status of the operator’s own railroad cars being operated on other companies’ lines, a swift recovery from breakdown is ensured.

Signs of failures can be detected more accurately, by accumulating real-time data and analysis results under different operational conditions with the aid of AI technology.

For the dissemination of
online medical care
- MELSIGN -

Do you have a problem like these?

I wish I didn’t have to go to a clinic and pharmacy so frequently for my chronic illness

I want to avoid going out with children in cold weather.

I live so far away from a clinic that it costs me a lot just to get there.

I wish I could have medications prescribed without too much trouble, even when my local pharmacy doesn’t stock them.

You may be able to solve your worries by online medical care.

What is online medical care?
It means that medical examinations and prescriptions are provided via video calls and other methods using smartphones, PCs and tablets.
Can any medical institutions provide online medical care/medication counseling*services?

*Explanations by pharmacists on how to take medications.

The health issue has to be regarding the areas where online medical care/medication counseling services can meet requirements.
Some websites provide the lists of medical institutions offering these services,
but it is advisable to inquire directly from the healthcare provider from whom you wish to receive the services.
Are online medical care/medication counseling services available to everybody?
Both online medical care and medication counseling*services are available, but mainly for chronic illness,
based on the perception that online medical care complements face-to-face healthcare services. In the future, given the advancement of technologies, laws and regulations are expected to be reviewed, while taking into consideration safety and effectiveness.
*Online medication counseling services is available from the spring of 2020.

The Mitsubishi Electric Group is striving to develop technologies for the dissemination of more user-friendly and safe online medical care. One of our initiatives to this end is our participation in research studies on electronic prescriptionsin collaboration with relevant groups and corporations.
This is part of Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications’ project of FY2019 “Research on the Construction of a Model Utilizing Networks in the Areas of Healthcare, etc.”.
*Current prescriptions require a doctor's signature to issue them.

Prove that a medical professional is not an impersonator as it is compatible with HPKI cards that certify the qualifications of doctors and pharmacists.
*HPKI card:
IC card compliant of a guideline prescribed by Japan Association of Healthcare Information Systems Industry (JAHIS) for HPKI-compatible IC cards. The HPKI cards are used for certifying the qualifications of doctors and pharmacists.

Ensure that there is no falsification of prescriptions, for which the current law requires a doctor’s signature.
Its verifying process combines digital signatures and a time-stamp technology, contributing to the security of electronic documents.
We are contributing to creating a lifestyle, in which patients are able to have medical examinations,
as well as receive medications and instructions on the dosage and administration of them, without going to clinics or pharmacies.

For the creation of
a society
in which human beings and robots live together
- Robot Transport Support Service -

Enables robots to move about inside a building freely, while ensuring human safety.

Link with equipment inside the building, such as elevators, to facilitate efficient vertical and horizontal transportations.

Moves robots in line with human moves and ensures the safety of human moves by notifying with light-based animations.
