This electronic viewer is an app provided by "Ikusho.jp".

"Isho.jp" is an electronic content distribution service of Isho JP Co., Ltd., which was established mainly as a medical book publisher. We deliver high-quality content from medical book publishers as e-books to medical professionals through an e-viewer.

■Development story

With the accelerating advances in medicine and medical technology, the amount of information required for medical treatment is increasing dramatically, and as a result, the need for digitizing medical content is increasing. On the other hand, compared to the huge amount of medical booklet publications, only a small portion of the content is digitized, and as it is sold and distributed separately by individual publishers, purchasing methods are different, and electronic content is still limited. The viewer's operability is not standardized, making it extremely difficult to use.

In order to solve the above problems, Isho JP Co., Ltd. has built a common platform on which many medical specialty publishers provide electronic content. This electronic viewer is an application for viewing medical content distributed from this common platform. This electronic viewer was developed with the aim of optimizing the viewing of medical content, allowing doctors and other medical professionals to quickly obtain the medical content they need, anytime and anywhere.

■Role of the app

Medical personnel (physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, medical and healthcare-related technicians (bachelors), such as radiologic technologists, clinical laboratory technicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, clinical engineers, etc., and students at their educational institutions) This is an app for viewing the electronic content of medical specialty books and magazines that you need.

In order to perform their duties, medical professionals must obtain a wide range of knowledge, case studies, and the latest medical information from publications, but they can search for the information they need from the vast amount of published data that is published and distributed through various distribution channels. However, it takes a lot of time and effort to obtain it.

The app allows healthcare professionals to seamlessly search and view a large amount of electronic content. We believe that this will make a major contribution to the advancement of Japanese medicine and medical care and to the maintenance of the lives and health of the people.
