corte Inc. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yusuke Masuzawa, hereinafter "corte"), developer of the AI medical record creation support service "corte" for dispensing pharmacies, and Advanced Media Inc. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, Chairman and President: Kiyoyuki Suzuki, hereinafter "Advanced Media"), have integrated their services. This integration connects "corte" with "AmiVoice API", a voice recognition API that utilizes AmiVoice, the No. 1 domestic share AI voice recognition technology, offered through the developer-focused voice tech platform "AmiVoice Cloud Platform".By leveraging a voice recognition engine specialized for the medical industry, the system achieves high-precision text conversion of specialized terms such as disease and drug names, leading to improved quality in SOAP-format medical record creation using generative AI. This results in an average summary processing speed of 5-6 seconds, achieving one of the fastest performances in Japan and dramatically advancing the operational efficiency of pharmacists."corte" is an AI medical record creation support service that has achieved No. 1 in adoption by stores and is used in over 2,500 dispensing pharmacies nationwide. This update further accelerates the shift of pharmacists' focus from "object-oriented tasks" to "person-oriented tasks".■ BackgroundIn recent years, with the increasing emphasis on person-oriented tasks such as home healthcare and medication follow-ups through dispensing fee revisions, the workload for pharmacists has been growing. To address the increasingly sophisticated and diverse tasks of pharmacists, there is a growing movement to utilize generative AI for tasks like medical record creation and administrative work to improve operational efficiency, thereby creating an environment where pharmacists can focus on patient communication, their core responsibility."corte" is a cloud service that transcribes conversations between pharmacists and patients using voice recognition and automatically creates SOAP-format medical records using generative AI. It is used in over 2,500 dispensing pharmacies nationwide and has achieved No. 1 in adoption by stores.To enhance the accuracy of summarization and classification by generative AI, the accuracy of input data is a crucial prerequisite. In particular, for creating records in the medical and dispensing fields, it is essential to be able to convert conversations, including specialized terminology, into text with high precision.In this context, "AmiVoice API" and "corte" were integrated, recognizing the high accuracy of "AmiVoice API" in recognizing specialized terms like disease and drug names, as well as its extensive track record of implementation in dispensing pharmacies and other medical institutions.■ Effects of "AmiVoice API" IntegrationBy utilizing a voice recognition engine specialized for the medical industry, conversations during medication guidance can be converted into text with high precision. Improving the quality of text data input into generative AI supports enhanced accuracy in summarization and SOAP classification, leading to improved operational efficiency and standardization/quality improvement of recorded content.Furthermore, the implementation of real-time transcription using the voice recognition API "AmiVoice API" has achieved an average time of just 5-6 seconds from the end of medication guidance to the completion of SOAP-format medical record summarization. This is one of the fastest processing speeds among AI medical record creation services in Japan. Since the medical record creation is completed immediately after the medication guidance, pharmacists can smoothly transition to their next task.Additionally, the medical record content generated by "corte" can be easily transferred to your existing electronic medical record system via copy and paste. This allows for smooth implementation without altering existing workflows.■ About "corte"This solution was jointly developed by corte and Soramichi System Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter "Soramichi System") and began offering services in April 2024. As of June 2026, it has been adopted by approximately 2,500 stores, including major dispensing pharmacy chains like Nihon Chozai and All Pharmacy, which operates mainly in the Chugoku region.With the integration of the voice recognition API "AmiVoice API", corte is expected to further lead the field of AI-powered medical record creation support, excelling in both "voice recognition accuracy" and "summarization speed", and to be utilized by an even greater number of dispensing pharmacies.■ Future Prospects of Both CompaniesAdvanced Media will continue to contribute to the operational efficiency of medical professionals, including pharmacists, and the improvement of medical service quality by developing solutions utilizing AmiVoice AI voice recognition and strengthening collaborations with other companies' services in the medical and dispensing fields.With the corporate philosophy of "Energizing Japan from Pharmacies!
