eWeLL Inc. (Securities Code: 5038, Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka), which promotes the improvement of quality and productivity in home healthcare through DX, announces that its dedicated home-visit nursing electronic health record, "iBow," surpassed 100 million total user visits in April 2026.

iBow, provided by our company, is a cloud-based electronic health record system for home-visit nursing stations. It provides end-to-end support for essential home-visit nursing tasks, including visit records, information sharing, plan and report creation, and billing operations.

iBow is used daily across all 47 prefectures in Japan, with over 63,000 nurses and other staff, more than 920,000 cumulative home-care patients, and up to over 2 million monthly visits. The accumulation of each of these visit records has led to this milestone of surpassing 100 million.

E-Record "iBow", Used 100 Million Times and Counting

The "100 million" figure we are announcing is not a metric like contract numbers or registered members, but the cumulative number of actual visits made by home-visit nurses to users' (home-care patients') homes, recorded one by one on iBow. It is not an inactive account or a formal number but a testament to the system's continuous use in the daily field.

A single home-visit nursing visit contains a wealth of information leading to the next stage of care, including changes in the user's physical condition and life, family anxieties, and coordination with doctors and care managers. Nurses interact with users within a limited time, deliver necessary care, and record the details. These records are utilized for subsequent visits and information sharing among various professions, becoming vital information that supports home care.

The number "100 million" represents the very progress of these home-visit nursing sites nationwide.

We are extremely pleased to have accompanied the daily work of the home-visit nurses who support home healthcare.

Real On-site Home-Visit Nursing Data Accumulated Over 12 Years

What we believe is truly important is not the milestone of "100 million" itself, but the fact that we have continuously accumulated real data generated daily at home-visit nursing sites for 12 years.

iBow was launched in 2014, and in a home-visit nursing industry where paper-based operations and fax culture were still prevalent, it has promoted the digitalization of on-site operations as a cloud-based electronic health record specialized for home-visit nursing.

As a result, iBow has accumulated integrated information necessary for the operation of home-visit nursing, including nursing records, visit histories, doctors' instructions, user information, travel history, attendance, receipt billing, and regional collaboration. This "100 million" is not just a number of visits but a vast operational data and knowledge base cultivated on-site, a useful data platform that cannot be replicated by others in a short period.

Furthermore, a characteristic of eWeLL is not that we have prolonged the life of the same system for 12 years, but that we have continued to evolve the foundation itself from scratch to adapt to future technological advancements.

In addition, instead of making everything a huge monolithic system, we have adopted a "Cooperative Distributed Architecture" that designs each service as an independent but interconnected system. This allows us to add new AI functions and analysis features flexibly and quickly while mitigating the risk of failures affecting other services, achieving a balance between data linkage, real-time performance, scalability, service addition speed, and AI utilization.

A Platform for Home-Visit Nursing Operations Originating from "Visits and Records"

As a cloud-based electronic health record supporting the operations of home-visit nursing stations, iBow has provided end-to-end support from recording, sharing, billing, to management.

In recent years, we have also focused on developing AI-powered features.

The "AI Home-Visit Nursing Plan/Report" supports the creation of plans and reports based on visit records, and a user survey has shown that it creates an average of 23.3 hours of work time per month.

Also, the "AI Visit Schedule/Route" supports the optimization of visit schedules and travel routes. To support more home-care patients with limited staff, it is essential to streamline not only recording but also the entire workflow, including visit planning, travel, information sharing, and billing.

iBow continues to evolve as a platform that connects recording, sharing, billing, and management, all originating from the "single visit and its record" that occurs daily in the field of home-visit nursing.
