Position Paper

AI That Preserves Frontline Work Can Save Japan's Healthcare and Long-Term Care

A proposal for reforming medical and care records and administration in the era of Japan's vertical AI strategy

This 12-page paper connects frontline realities with an AI implementation path and three policy proposals as healthcare and long-term care become national vertical AI priorities.

For the media — An invitation to report from the frontline

We invite journalists to join us in the field where the ideas in this paper are put into practice. See the frontline as it is and help begin a broader discussion about what it can achieve together with AI.

What we do

In care, healthcare, childcare, construction, and other regulated industries, there is a structural gap between quality on the front line and the ability to run a profitable business. The accuracy of applications and regulatory work directly affects revenue, cash flow, and business continuity.

That accuracy depends on tacit knowledge accumulated by domain experts over many years. But experts are busy with daily operations, so they cannot prepare training data or pass their knowledge to AI. Transfers and resignations also cause institutional knowledge to disappear.

Kurashi Tech employs domain experts internally and builds AI infrastructure that continuously accumulates up-to-date regulatory judgment data, delivering it as BPO and FDE support tailored to each company.

About Us

About Us

Message from the Founder

My family ran a medical corporation and a social welfare corporation in Hokkaido. While working as an entrepreneur in Tokyo, I continued to take part in managing healthcare in my hometown as a board member.

Healthcare and long-term care depend on people supporting people, yet there are not enough hands or resources. Frontline staff are consumed by paperwork and coordination instead of the work they set out to do. Many carry the field through a sense of responsibility alone. As the population ages, I feared that those providing support would begin to break down first.

In 2025, I founded Kurashi Tech with the goal of building AI infrastructure that stays close to the frontline. Rather than forcing difficult technology onto the field, we want to discover the best ways to use technology together with the people who work there.

Kurashi Tech cannot yet provide a perfect service, and there are limits to what we can accomplish alone. But by working together with the frontline, I believe the future we envision can become real.
