Josh Inc. is pleased to announce that it has raised funds in a seed round with ANOBAKA as the lead investor and Delight Ventures as the underwriter, and has released “Kyōge Josh,” an information sharing platform for the medical and nursing care industry.
The year 2025, which was considered a major turning point in the medical and nursing care industry, has arrived, and the issues related to medical and nursing care in Japan have entered a new phase. It is said that the number of people requiring nursing care will reach approximately 10 million by 2040, and there will be a shortage of medical and nursing care workers by 1 million. As a result, it is predicted that medical and nursing care will not be adequate in the future, and people will be threatened with being able to receive care in the place they want, so the importance of multi-professional collaboration in providing care is becoming increasingly important.
Even today, in the medical and nursing care industry, medical and administrative documents are mixed together and arrive by mail or fax, and the exchange of information on paper is deeply rooted. In this environment, there are many issues regarding information sharing, such as sorting documents according to the recipient, sending documents according to the recipient’s reception style, and managing inconsistent sending results. These issues have led to medical and nursing care workers wasting their valuable time on administrative tasks, preventing them from concentrating on their actual care duties.
Although various leading players have been working on this issue, the reality is that a fundamental solution to the problem has yet to be found.
“DX up until now may have been too difficult.”
We began developing Collaborative Josh to improve this situation and create an environment where medical and nursing care workers can provide higher quality care.
