kanata's Upcoming Seminar at Medical Japan Tokyo

kanata Inc., a health-tech startup based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, has announced its participation in the Medical Japan Tokyo event, occurring from October 1 to October 3, 2025. This conference will serve as a key moment for the company to present its views on digital transformation (DX) in the healthcare sector at the kickoff of the second Hospital DX Award set for next March in Osaka. Notably, kanata received the Grand Prize at the previous Hospital DX Award, making its upcoming invitation to present a significant recognition of its achievements.

The Seminar's Focus

The seminar will explore how DX can either be an ally or a threat to hospital management. It will feature perspectives from hospital executives, academic leaders, and various vendors, including the six outstanding companies recognized in the inaugural Hospital DX Award, among which kanata is included. Various views will be debated—whether DX facilitates productivity improvements or introduces new risks, such as cyber-attacks and workforce shortages. This collective examination aims to shed light on the future of hospital DX, fostering a dialogue about its potential advantages and challenges.

Introduction to kanaVo

One of kanata’s prominent offerings is kanaVo, a cloud tool designed to summarize in-session conversations into a medical record format. Launched as part of their mission to improve workplace practices and enhance communication between healthcare professionals and patients, kanaVo received the Grand Prize at the 2025 Hospital DX Award in March of that year. This innovative tool employs high-accuracy voice recognition, allowing AI to seamlessly convert conversations into electronic medical records—significantly cutting down the time healthcare providers devote to administrative tasks.

According to kanata's internal research, physicians spend an average of 152 minutes per day on record-keeping. This time burden can dilute the quality of patient communication, ultimately hampering effective consultations. By leveraging kanaVo, medical professionals can now reduce this input time dramatically to just 35 minutes a day—a remarkable efficiency enhancement of 75%, freeing up 117 minutes for direct patient engagement.

In addition to improving the speed of information flow within the hospital, kanaVo allows for quick input from visiting medical staff, ensuring no crucial information is lost during transitions. This capability enhances overall productivity and facilitates timely information sharing among healthcare teams, irrespective of their physical locations. Numerous users of kanaVo have reported that the system allows them to summarize consultations in mere seconds, enhances real-time information sharing among doctors during emergency situations, and expedites communication between nursing and medical staff in the field.
