NAGARA Inc. Announces First Proprietary Product, "Nagarakaigo Minutes"

NAGARA Inc. (Headquarters: Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Kazuki Okada, hereinafter "NAGARA") announces its first proprietary product, the AI minutes service for caregiving sites, "Nagarakaigo Minutes." We also announce that this service has been registered with the Welfare Equipment Information System (TAIS) operated by the Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Techno-aid Association and has obtained a TAIS code (02428-000001).

This registration allows caregiving providers to consider introducing "Nagarakaigo Minutes" utilizing subsidies from local governments' support programs for the introduction of caregiving technology. Furthermore, its inclusion in a public database makes product information easier to verify, creating an environment where it can be introduced with greater peace of mind.

*Eligibility, scope, and application conditions for subsidies vary by municipality. Please confirm details with your local government.

What is "Nagarakaigo Minutes"?

"Nagarakaigo Minutes" is software that automatically creates minutes from recorded meetings. In situations where recording is time-consuming, such as service provider meetings and various committee meetings, it automatically identifies "who said what" for each participant, handling everything from transcription to summarization. It can be operated with a single button, making it accessible even for those unfamiliar with digital devices, and it supports specialized terminology used in caregiving settings. It can be used on smartphones, tablets, and PCs, and is a cloud service with security measures such as encrypted communication.

By allowing records to be kept "while" focusing on the meeting, it significantly reduces the time and burden of creating minutes, supporting the creation of an environment where staff can concentrate on the "care" they should be focusing on.

How Caregiving Sites Will Change with "Nagarakaigo Minutes"

Caregiving sites have numerous meetings that require minutes, including service provider meetings, as well as various committee meetings related to accident prevention, infection control, appropriate physical restraint, and abuse prevention, as stipulated by operational standards. "Nagarakaigo Minutes" structurally reduces the burden on staff by entrusting the recording tasks themselves to AI.

Eliminating the "One Last Task" of Minute Creation

AI handles peripheral tasks such as meeting preparation, transcribing handwritten notes, creating minutes, and checking for typos. A draft is automatically generated by the time the meeting ends, so the person in charge only needs to review the content. This can significantly reduce the time and overtime spent on creation and revisions.

Ensuring Complete and Accurate Records for Statutory Meetings and Committees

Caregiving sites are required to create minutes for various committee meetings stipulated by operational standards, including service provider meetings, abuse prevention, appropriate physical restraint, and infection control. By simply recording, records are kept, reducing the burden of preparing records for on-site inspections and audits, and lowering the risk of incomplete documentation.

Accumulating Records as "Assets" and Utilizing Them as a Team

Created minutes are stored in the cloud and can be shared and referenced across shifts and job roles. Past minutes can be accessed anytime from PCs in the nurse's station or office, or from smartphones while on the go. Under security measures such as encrypted communication, decisions and discussion histories can be accumulated as organizational memory.

Usable by Everyone in the Caregiving Setting, Even Those Unfamiliar with Digital Technology

AI correctly recognizes specialized terms unique to caregiving settings, such as "pressure ulcers," "end-of-life care," and "near misses," minimizing the need for corrections after transcription. It can be used on smartphones, tablets, and PCs without requiring special training or dedicated terminals. Regardless of who uses it, consistent quality minutes will be produced.

Not Just for Meetings—Covering All On-Site "Recording Needs"

In addition to minutes, it can also be used for morning handovers and for communicating information that needs to be shared verbally. Simply press the button when you want to "record it." It can be used in any situation on-site, whether in the meeting room, nurse's station, or office.

Customer Voices

Since its initial release in January 2026, it has already been utilized in many care facilities. Here are some of the voices received from the field.

About the TAIS Code

The TAIS code is a management number for welfare equipment issued by the Public Interest Incorporated Foundation Techno-aid Association. It is based on a system established with the support of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, aiming for the research and development, evaluation, standardization, and dissemination of welfare equipment. This code is registered in the "Welfare Equipment Information System (Technical Aids Information System, commonly known as TAIS)," a database that comprehensively provides information on welfare equipment in Japan.

This is expected to facilitate product information verification by caregiving providers and local governments, promoting the introduction and utilization of products.
