What It Is

Medical TQ is an iPad-based touchscreen electronic medical questionnaire app for healthcare settings in Japan, aimed at hospitals, clinics, and similar institutions. Patients complete questionnaires through a large-text, one-question-at-a-time touch interface. The system can link the results with electronic charts / electronic medical records, helping reduce manual data entry and waiting time between reception and consultation.

Core Features and Integrations

The product provides questionnaires by clinical department and supports creating custom questionnaires by combining more than 20 types of forms. Its branching workflow can adjust subsequent questions based on a patient’s answers, making it easier to collect more targeted information within a shorter process. Questionnaire results can be transferred to electronic medical records, or viewed as PDFs in a browser. Note that the website does not disclose which electronic medical record vendors are supported, nor does it provide details on APIs, developer documentation, or broader third-party integrations.

Pricing, Trial, and Deployment

Public pricing starts from 3,000 yen per month, with detailed costs available on inquiry. A 30-day free trial is available. Deployment is cloud-based, with setup and maintenance handled online; the official site says rollout can be completed in as little as 3 business days from application to implementation. For small clinics, the entry price and fast launch timeline are reasonably appealing, but key billing factors such as number of devices, institution size, and electronic medical record integration fees are not publicly disclosed.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its advantages include an easy-to-use patient interface, reduced paper use and storage space, less duplicate data entry at the front desk, and better information collection through custom questionnaires and branching logic. The drawbacks are that security details such as permission management, audit logs, encryption, backups, and compliance certifications are not explained in the main content; there is also no public information on team collaboration or account permission capabilities. It is best suited to clinics and outpatient facilities in Japan that already use, or plan to connect to, electronic medical records—especially those looking to replace paper questionnaires and improve reception efficiency.

Access from China and Alternatives

Access from China is unknown, and the website does not disclose service payment methods. Since the product is designed around Japanese medical workflows and the local electronic medical record ecosystem, Chinese medical institutions considering it should carefully verify language support, local regulatory requirements, data storage, payment, network connectivity, and the feasibility of electronic medical record integration. Chinese users should generally first evaluate electronic questionnaire and pre-consultation solutions offered by local electronic medical record, hospital IT, or internet hospital vendors.
