The Japan Association of Male Nurses (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kosuke Tsubota, hereinafter referred to as "the Association") successfully held the award ceremony for the "Nursing DX Award 2026," which honors excellent nursing DX services, on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at Tokyo Big Sight (as part of "International Modern Hospital Show & Nurse Festival 2026").

This year, the second year of the award, a number of innovative solutions that directly address the reduction of burdens on the front lines and the improvement of care quality were selected.

Comment from Representative Director Kosuke Tsubota

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who cooperated with us for the successful conclusion of the 'Nursing DX Award 2026' today. In today's medical field, where severe labor shortages and task shifting are being called for, DX is no longer just a tool for efficiency, but an infrastructure for nurses to 'work humanely and demonstrate their expertise.' I am confident that the excellent products selected this time will be further disseminated to the front lines and positively transform the state of nursing in Japan. The Association will continue to strive for the evaluation and dissemination of technological innovation from a field perspective."
