Plusman LLC (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Partner: Yujiro Otsuka), in collaboration with SMC Medical Tourism Japan Division (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido; Division Director: Katsuya Sakagami), has entered into an agreement with Ha Dong General Hospital, a Level-1 public hospital in Hanoi, Socialist Republic of Vietnam, to conduct clinical validation and research utilization of Plusman’s medical AI programs. The signing ceremony was witnessed by the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam and the Hanoi Department of Health.

Vietnam’s First Clinical Validation of Multiple Medical AIs

This initiative will validate the following AI solutions:

• Plus.Lung.Nodule – an AI medical device program that detects pulmonary nodules on chest CT,
• Plus.CXR – an AI program that detects thoracic findings including tuberculosis on chest X-ray,
• a digital pathology diagnostic support AI program developed by a partner company, and
• FFR AI, which estimates fractional flow reserve (FFR) non-invasively from coronary CT angiography.

Both Plus.Lung.Nodule and Plus.CXR are certified medical device programs in Japan.
In addition, PidPort, a cloud-based digital pathology AI system developed by Medmain Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), has started operation. This marks Vietnam’s first initiative to simultaneously deploy AI technologies across multiple domains — respiratory, cardiovascular, and pathology.

Establishment of “Vietnam–Japan Cooperation Committee” at Ha Dong General Hospital

On the same day, Ha Dong General Hospital established the “Vietnam–Japan Cooperation Committee.”
Through this initiative, Plusman aims not only to provide AI technology, but also to promote the dissemination of Japanese-style clinical workflows and operational models practiced in Japanese medical institutions.

About Ha Dong General Hospital

Ha Dong General Hospital was founded in 1910 and is a public hospital under the Hanoi Department of Health.
As a Level-1 general hospital, it has 650 beds, 44 departments, and over 800 staff members, with 54% of its physicians holding doctoral, master’s, or specialist qualifications. It is recognized as one of the major medical institutions in northern Vietnam.

Future Outlook

The clinical validation began in October 2025. In response to the growing demand for Japanese-style healthcare in Vietnam, this project aims to promote medical DX (Digital Transformation) and health tech innovation, sharing Japan’s medical practices internationally and contributing to the advancement of healthcare and AI technology in Vietnam.
