This article is a translation. Read the Japanese original
Dr. Hironori Muraoka, the director of the clinic, has personally built an operating environment using Apple's "Mac Studio." The primary uses include summarizing past clinical information and assisting in medical record creation using speech recognition. All processing is completed within the clinic's own equipment, and notes regarding the handling of information have been posted.
According to Daichi Nagashima, CEO of GENSHI AI—a company that provides AI services for medical settings and handles the construction of Local LLM environments—they have already received more than 20 inquiries in this field. To meet needs such as transcription of voice during interviews, summarization, and transcription into medical records, the company provides services using NVIDIA's "DGX Spark." In addition to Google's "Gemma 4 31B-it," the service incorporates custom-developed models specialized for medical information processing.
