Sisuta Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yuki Umetani; hereinafter, Sisuta) has officially released 'Michi Care,' an AI platform for nursing homes, today, May 15, 2026. A proprietary AI automatically generates shifts and provides end-to-end optimization, including in-facility visit routes.
In anticipation of acquiring the new 'I-Ro/II-Ro' treatment improvement incentive categories established in the June 2026 long-term care fee revision, we support productivity improvements in nursing homes.
■ Service Website: https://lp.michi.care/
Background: In June 2026, eligibility for incentives will be determined by 'investment in DX'
On June 1, 2026, a provisional revision of long-term care fees will take effect. By acquiring the newly established 'I-Ro/II-Ro' treatment improvement incentives, facilities can secure funds for wage increases of up to 19,000 yen (6.3%) per care worker per month.
However, for facility services, 'calculation of Productivity Improvement Promotion System Incentive I or II' is a requirement. Only facilities that have actually incorporated ICT/DX into their operations will receive the additional category.
'We want to get the incentive, but our staff can't manage it'—The personalization of shift creation, the learning cost for optimizing in-facility routes, and the burden of paperwork. These are the common challenges facing facility managers nationwide today.
Three Features of 'Michi Care'
1. AI-powered Automatic Shift Generation
Our proprietary AI collectively optimizes labor systems, including full-time/part-time status, qualification requirements, and leave requests, as well as the tacit knowledge of managers and service managers who previously handled shifts.
The manager's tasks are reduced to adjustments and final approval, significantly cutting down the man-hours for shift creation and changes.
2. Shift-linked In-facility Route Optimization
In residential care homes (including service-equipped residences for the elderly), adjusting in-facility routes based on care plans and special instructions from visiting nurses is essential for improving sales and occupancy rates. This is optimized in conjunction with shifts.
3. Integration with Third-party Attendance Tools to Streamline Audits
We support the creation of forms required for on-site guidance and incentive applications, such as work schedule lists, by linking with third-party attendance management systems via CSV.
Results from Pilot Implementation
In a pilot implementation prior to the official release, we confirmed a significant reduction in shift creation time and qualitative feedback that it removed the psychological barriers for managers in creating and adjusting shifts, allowing them to focus on essential tasks. Furthermore, in facilities with in-facility visit routes, such as residential care homes, we confirmed that routes were automatically generated and linked with shifts, immediately providing a basis for optimization.
