Accelerate Technology Enhances Health Check Operations with AI
Accelerate Technology, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has unveiled a significant enhancement to its SolutionDesk digital transformation platform by incorporating an AI agent function designed for the automatic scheduling of health checkups, set to launch on October 29, 2025. Amidst the increasing challenges faced by medical institutions, particularly in the field of preventive healthcare such as human dock and health screenings, this new feature promises to streamline scheduling processes and improve operational efficiency, thus contributing to enhanced revenue generation.
Background of the Feature
In the health check industry, creating effective schedules has traditionally been a considerable burden. Factors like equipment availability, the number of staff, and complex testing sequences often lead to complications in planning, especially when unexpected changes arise. As many healthcare facilities grapple with financial difficulties, improving efficiency while maintaining high-quality services in human docks and health screenings becomes a pressing necessity. The newly developed feature emerged from a collaboration with Omi Japan Co., Ltd., addressing these needs directly.
Overview of the New Feature
The AI scheduling function takes into account various intricate factors such as the number of available machines, staff, testing order, and duration of tests. By simply inputting the number of patients and course information, users can receive an optimal schedule ready for immediate implementation. This innovation allows healthcare professionals to create schedules much faster than before, even accommodating last-minute delays or testing extensions, all while maintaining a smooth workflow throughout the day.
The function is a part of Accelerate Technology's core service—the “AI-Powered Operational Innovation Template for Healthcare”—integrated within the SolutionDesk platform. Besides automatic scheduling, this suite of tools also includes applications for automatic medical record creation, reimbursement checks, and shift scheduling, fostering comprehensive operational innovation across healthcare settings.
Key Features
- - Immediate Schedule Optimization: The AI automatically generates schedules considering testing equipment, the number of staff, and testing order, optimizing resources efficiently.
- - Flexible Adjustments for Day-of Changes: Even with patient delays or testing time extensions, the system can quickly readjust schedules while ensuring continuity in operations.
- - Applicable to Diverse Courses: The system allows for preset configurations of standard testing times and simultaneous tests, catering to various health check courses.
- - Significant Reduction in Staff Workload: By minimizing patient wait times, maximizing the utilization of medical equipment, and decreasing overtime, the AI acts as support for staff, enhancing their performance and well-being.
Technical Framework
This innovative function is powered by two primary technologies embedded within SolutionDesk: “AI Auto” and “SD Auto.” Unlike traditional scheduling methods solely dependent on AI for creating schedules, these technologies ensure constraints are strictly adhered to while providing consistent outcomes, facilitating reliable schedule generation.
- - AI Auto: Mimics human thought processes to assess testing sequences and real-time delays, executing necessary adjustments immediately.
- - SD Auto: Autonomously formulates optimization algorithms and performs numerical calculations to create stable schedules that satisfy intricate constraints.
With this capability, the system can instantaneously navigate complex criteria, ensuring optimal scheduling with minimal human intervention—representing a significant leap in operational efficiency.
Benefits of Implementation
- - Operational Efficiency: Reduces the time and effort associated with schedule adjustments, allowing for rapid completion of planning.
- - Enhanced Service Quality: Decreases patient wait times and ensures smoother operations throughout health screenings.
- - Revenue Generation: Optimizes equipment usage, effectively maximizing limited resources.
- - Support for Staff: Reduces overtime and stress, fostering a more manageable work environment.
Future Prospects
The automatic scheduling feature for health checkups not only enhances operational efficiency in health check settings but is also adaptable across various tasks in the healthcare and welfare sectors. Accelerate Technology aims to further propel the digital transformation in healthcare through the AI agent functions of SolutionDesk, driving improvements in operational efficiency and healthcare service quality.
