What TXP Medical does

TXP Medical Co., Ltd. is a Japanese health-IT company founded in August 2017 by emergency physician Dr. Tomohiro Sonoh to address fragmentation of medical data across Japanese emergency, intensive-care, and prehospital care settings. The company develops and sells a platform-plus-modules suite anchored on NEXT Stage ER, an emergency-department information system used in over 100 major hospitals and approximately 50% of Japan's university hospitals and emergency medical centres. Adjacent modules cover ICU patient management (NEXT Stage ICU), doctor car and helicopter registries, inter-hospital transfer coordination (NEXT Stage CONNECT), oncology databases, dialysis DX, and AI-powered medical documentation (NEXT Stage Document Assistant and SpeechER). On the prehospital side, NSER mobile is deployed across 51 municipalities covering 12 million people, digitising communication between fire departments and hospitals. Custom electronic data capture (EDC) systems and a medical data warehouse spanning 50 large hospitals and 38 million+ electronic medical records support clinical research and pharmaceutical real-world data services.

The company monetises primarily through annual subscription and license fees for hospital and municipality software, custom EDC construction services for academic and pharmaceutical research clients, and professional services for system integration and pharmaceutical RWD studies. Customers include university hospitals (Hokkaido University, Kagoshima City Hospital, Kameda General, Nara Medical University), national centres (National Center for Child Health and Development), municipalities (Sendai, Kobe, Eniwa), and pharmaceutical companies (Tanabe Pharmaceutical). Sales is direct enterprise sales supported by academic conference presence, government innovation programmes (SBIR, SIP, AMED), and an in-house physician-led research team. TXP Medical holds ten granted patents, ISO 27001/27017/27018/9001 certifications, and has raised approximately $18.4M in venture funding across rounds led by UTEC and MPower Partners. The management team includes 10 full-time physicians and board representation from UTEC and Itochu Corporation, and the company transitioned to AI-native operations in January 2026 by deploying Claude company-wide.
