Join is a mobile application for medical professionals that aims to improve the efficiency of information sharing. As a chat-based communication app, it is used not only for communication within single medical institution but also as a platform for cooperation among medical institutions, emergency services and central/ local governments. Integrated with hospital information systems such as Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) or electrical medical record, Join enables users to see the accurate medical information in the standardized protocols such as Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) or Health Level Seven (HL7) etc. As a proof of the product’s quality, Join is certified as a medical device in Japan (PMDA), US (FDA) and CE (EU) etc. Also, in order to protect the information shared on Join, the security measures are implemented, which conform to the regulations or guidelines in each country such as HIPAA in US or GDPR in EU etc. Join has been utilized in 18 countries such as Japan, US, Brail, Thailand etc. already.In COVID-19 pandemic situation, the combination of Join and InfoCOVID (a web service for COVID-19 produced by Allm) can be a telemedicine platform for managing COVID-19 suspected or infected patients.

Therefore, a physician who is treating a patient physically can consult to experts with accurate medical information easily on Join. Also, from the central or local governments point of view, they can track the status and location of each patient through Join and InfoCOVID and grasp epidemiological condition with the business intelligence function on InfoCOVID.
