Shower Bathing Device for
Nursing Care

Viami NB2500

This unique misting shower with dome construction minimizes body exposure for enhanced bather privacy while deeply warming the body through a sauna-like effect for a luxurious bathing experience. With zero drowning risk and huge per-bather time savings, the Viami NB2500 provides welcome relief for caregivers and bathers alike.

Rise Assisting Robot

Resyone Plus

Resyone Plus is a robotic movement support device that transforms half of the user’s bed into a wheelchair, allowing caregivers to easily and singlehandedly transfer them without lifting. Resyone Plus makes transfers quicker while reducing physical and psychological strain on caregivers, meanwhile offering security and peace of mind to users as they get out of bed. The result is greater freedom of lifestyle and satisfaction for every member of the family.

Ultra Fine Bubble Generator

PURETE

PURETE generates ultrafine bubbles so small they are invisible to the eye, yet capable of cleansing and removing impurities from the body simply by soaking—eliminating the need for soap or scrubbing. Scrub-free bathing is incredibly gentle on users’ skin, and also greatly reduces the physical and time demands placed on caregivers.

Excretion Detection System

Helppad

Helppad features an odor sensor that detects and digitally tracks excretions. It then automatically calculates excretion patterns and digitizes these records so that they can be shared among caregiving teams—who can then use the data to identify ideal diaper changing times and reduce the number of wasted changes and incontinence incidents, supporting better care with less strain on caregivers. Helppad is also simple to use—just lay it on the bed for an easy, safe, no-contact solution.

Medication Monitoring System

Fukuyakkun

The Fukuyakkun system uses a smartphone or tablet to make sure that users are taking their medications properly. It is a fantastic tool for streamlining medication tasks and eliminating double-checking while automatically saving interaction records, making it an ideal solution for caregiving facilities that struggle with general medication management.

Family Type Robot

LOVOT

LOVOT stares at you and comes when you call it, creating attachments to its owners and asking to be held. It also has a subtle warmth that makes it feel less like a robot and more like a living member of the family. LOVOT has a wide variety of applications. It is an excellent companion for those suffering from pandemic isolation, it can help develop social and emotional skills, it can be used in programming education, and much more.

Assist Suit

SUPPORT JACKET
Bb+PRO II

SUPPORT JACKET Bb+ uses a uniquely developed “backbone (Bb+)” technology with three key features: a posture correction function that keeps the upper body and lower back in a healthy, low-impact position; a lumbar support function that enhances abdominal strength; and a muscular function that provides assistive force. This three-in-one support is delivered via a wearable device that is lightweight, affordable, and easy to use.

Skill-Sharing Service

Sketter

Sketter is a skill-sharing service that allows novices and non-professionals opportunities to get involved in the non-physical aspects of senior care. Most registered users are college students or young adults in their 20s and 30s who have an interest in caregiving—and many are inspired to change careers as a result. The system is supported by subscription fees and there are no placement costs, making it attractive to organizations as well.

Data-Sharing System Platform

Care Data Connect
for Future Care Lab in Japan

Care Data Connect is an integrative care platform developed in collaboration with about thirty sensor manufacturers so that data from all of their sensors can be displayed on a single screen. The collected data can also be exported to other systems, which has allowed Future Care Lab in Japan to offer a brand-new data utilization model.
