Pediatric Clinic "Baby and Kids Clinic Miyamaedaira" in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, Introduces Temasac Automated Payment Machine from Opening to Reduce Parental Burden.

Kawanishi Barkmed Inc., headquartered in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture, Japan, specializes in DX-related services for the medical industry. Their automated payment machine "Temasac" was adopted by Baby and Kids Clinic Miyamaedaira, located in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture (1-1-41 Maginu, Miyamae-ku). The clinic, which reopened in May 2025, focuses on supporting child-rearing families. The decision to introduce Temasac from its opening in June 2025 was driven by the goal of minimizing parental stress during clinic visits. Key benefits observed by February 2026 include reduced patient waiting times for payment (1-3 minutes), daily cash reconciliation taking less than 5 minutes, almost no accounting errors, and staff overtime for accounting tasks being 0-5 minutes per person per day. The system supports various cashless payment methods, enhancing convenience for parents. The digital signage feature on Temasac is utilized for clinic announcements and information, transforming payment time into an opportunity for communication with parents. The clinic's director, Erika Takahashi, noted positive feedback from parents regarding the convenience of multiple payment options. Kawanishi Barkmed Inc. was established in July 2019, with Akira Motoyama as its representative.
