While the Omicron strain of the new coronavirus is rampant in Japan, Yamanashi University has introduced the "SHINGEN" symptom grasping system for infected people developed at Yamanashi University for all new corona patients that have occurred in Yamanashi Prefecture.By utilizing the medical version of digital transformation (DX) for corona measures, it is likely to attract attention as a supporter of the "Yamanashi model" that continues economic activities while preventing medical collapse.
According to the University of Yamanashi, Singen was named after Shingen Takeda, a warring lord who is considered to be a hero in Yamanashi Prefecture.When a new Corona patient inputs his / her symptoms such as fever status, blood oxygen saturation, respiratory status, and fatigue using a smartphone, medical staff can grasp the status in real time.
In addition to hospitals, new Corona patients in Yamanashi Prefecture are distributed in three medical-enhanced accommodation treatment facilities, accommodation treatment hotels, and homes in the prefecture, but information is distributed to doctors and nurses residing in hospitals and treatment facilities, as well as to others. It is shared by facility managers, Yamanashi University Hospital, medical associations, and Corona outpatient clinics of priority medical institutions.If there is a problem such as high fever or sudden drop in oxygen concentration, an alert will be given and the medical staff can immediately grasp the information and deal with it.Patients with the new corona can rest assured that they will receive appropriate instructions at any time, even at home.
In Yamanashi prefecture, nurses used to call each patient to hear their symptoms, record them on paper, and manage them.However, this method takes too much time and limits the amount of processing, and when the number of patients increases, it is difficult to deal with problems immediately.
