Future Bathing Experience for Nursing Care: "Mirable Assist Bath" Debuts at Osaka Nursing Productivity Center
Science Co., Ltd. will hold the first exhibition of the "Mirable Assist Bath," an evolution of the "Future Human Washing Machine" showcased at the Expo, specifically designed for nursing care. Using fine bubble technology, it aims to reduce the burden on caregiving sites by enabling cleansing without scrubbing.

Science Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka, President: Yasuhiro Mizukami), a company aiming to solve social issues with fine bubble technology, will exhibit the "Mirable Assist Bath" at the Osaka Prefectural Nursing Productivity Improvement Support Center located in the ATC (Asia Pacific Trade Center), Osaka. This machine, evolved from the future bathing experience presented at the Expo for practical use in nursing and welfare, aims to solve serious challenges in the aging society—increased caregiving burden, fall risks, and labor shortages—through the innovative experience of "washing without scrubbing the body."
*No bathing experience is available at the site.
Background of the Exhibition
The "Mirai Human Washing Machine" recorded a 98.3% satisfaction rate in an experience survey at last year's Expo. Science aims to deploy this innovative technology in actual society. In Japan, labor shortages and increased physical burden in caregiving due to the aging population are major issues. Bathing assistance is particularly demanding for both caregivers and users, requiring high safety standards. Therefore, Science is connecting the "Mirable Assist Bath" to actual care settings and formalizing concrete deployments through collaboration with care facilities, local governments, and related businesses.
Science will continue to promote the social implementation of fine bubble technology and address challenges in wide-ranging fields such as medicine, agriculture/fishery, industrial cleaning, commercial kitchens, and space, beyond the nursing sector.
Features of Mirable Assist Bath
1. Unique Microbubble Full-Body Cleansing Technology
- Ultra-fine bubbles generated in the tub envelop the body, achieving "cleansing just by soaking," which was previously impossible.
- Cleansing using only water and air, safe for those with delicate skin.
2. Precision Care with Mirable Technology
- Areas not immersed in hot water, such as the face and hair, are cleaned using the "Mirable" showerhead.
- Employs a gentle and reliable cleaning mechanism that does not rely on strong water pressure.
3. Innovative Burden Reduction at Care Sites
- Dramatically reduces physically demanding processes like "supporting the body" and "scrubbing the body."
- Achieves a sustainable care environment by reducing strain on caregivers' lower backs and shoulders.
4. Safety-First Design Philosophy
- Adopts a bathtub door to completely eliminate the dangerous "stepping over" motion for the elderly.
- Minimizes standing work, which has a high risk of falls.
5. Evidence-Based Effects
- Confirmed improved skin moisture levels after bathing through empirical data.
- Contributes to preventing skin troubles like dryness and itching associated with aging.

About the Osaka Prefectural Nursing Productivity Improvement Support Center
As the shortage of care personnel becomes more severe, productivity improvement in care settings is becoming increasingly important. Osaka Prefecture opened the center in June 2024 to support the site through technology exhibitions and consultations.
Comment from Mr. Naotoshi Okuda, Osaka Prefectural Nursing Productivity Center:
"Bathing assistance involves washing the body and hair while supporting the user, which is a significant physical burden. The Mirable Assist Bath allows for assistance by a single person and contributes to reducing the burden on caregivers. We hope to support productivity improvement efforts by promoting such equipment."
Comment from Mr. Yasuaki Aoyama, Chairman of Science Holdings:
"The vision of 'Future Life' depicted at the 1970 Expo is becoming a reality through social implementation. This exhibition is one of the efforts to spread that technology to actual sites."
*No bathing experience is available at the site.
