Under this service, diagnosis and treatment data maintained by respective medical institutions is gathered and stored in cloud data centers etc., under robust facility management, in order to offer medical care services without interruption, even during disaster and other contingencies, thereby providing local residents a more secure and comfortable living environment.

Examination Committee Evaluation Comments

Cloud computing, which is one of the means to access ICT resources, will be increasingly used. Meanwhile, it is also expected to pose challenges in system building, due to complex, specialized technologies. This product represents a simple, generalized user interface for introduction and administration that enables public entities and private companies to use cloud computing in many fields. This product is highly evaluated for its design. Fujitsu's leading-edge design-oriented solution for expanding the market while focusing on user benefits is also commendable.
