May 12th is Nurses' Day! There is still no culture of expressing gratitude on "Nurses' Day" in Japan. SIND Co., Ltd. launches a special campaign as the first step to bring the spirit of Nurses Week from Europe and the US to Japan.

In Europe and the United States, the week around May 12th, Nurses' Day, is widely established as "Nurses Week," where hospitals, companies, and communities collectively offer benefits and discounts to nurses. In contrast, Japan's "Nurses' Day" is positioned as a day to raise awareness and interest in nursing within society, but a culture of showing concrete gratitude to individual nurses has not yet taken root. SIND Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Yuya Watanabe, hereinafter "SIND") aims to address this gap. Coinciding with May 12th, "Nurses' Day," SIND will launch a campaign offering local trials of its AI nursing record service "Caretomo" at a special price, embodying the spirit of Nurses Week as a corporate action. SIND's answer is to show gratitude not merely through words, but by genuinely reducing the burden on the front lines. **■ The Reality on the Ground: "Interested, but Unable to Act," as Revealed by Research** According to the "Hospital Nursing Actual Conditions Survey 2025" published by the Japanese Nursing Association on March 31, 2026, approximately 55% of 3,502 facilities nationwide responded "considering introduction / interested" regarding the use of AI and ICT for nursing record creation support (such as generative AI for records, voice input software, and automatic transfer between charts). National data clearly shows that ICT support for nursing records is one of the areas where the front lines feel the strongest need within nursing DX. However, many facilities still exist that are "interested but haven't tried it." Implementation hurdles such as cost, complicated introduction procedures, and concerns about security are impeding transformation on the ground. **■ Why "Nurses' Day"?** May 12th is "Nurses' Day," named after the birthday of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. In Europe and the United States, Nurses Week is deeply rooted as a culture for society as a whole to show gratitude to nurses, but this movement is still limited in Japan. SIND, as a company dedicated to the mission of "maximizing the capabilities of healthcare professionals with AI and delivering optimal medical care to each individual," positions this campaign as a social action aligned with this day. We believe that genuinely reducing the burden on the front lines, beyond mere words of thanks, is the greatest respect we can show. **■ "Nurses' Day" Special Campaign Overview** - Target Service: Caretomo On-site Trial - Regular Price: 30,000 yen (tax included) - Campaign Price: 10,000 yen (tax included) *70% off - Application Deadline: May 31, 2026 (Sunday) - Application URL: https://caretomo.jp/ja/contact?type=inquiry-general **■ About "Caretomo"** Caretomo is an AI nursing record service for medical institutions, equipped with a voice recognition engine optimized for the MEDIS nursing terminology database.

The Japanese Nursing Association's survey also clearly shows the high level of interest from the field. On this occasion of Nurses' Day, I would be most delighted if as many sites as possible could experience Caretomo and use the time freed from documentation for their patients. And I hope to establish a corporate culture in Japan that does not end gratitude with mere words." **■ Company Profile** Company Name: SIND Co., Ltd.
