Mitsufuji Corporation (head office: Seika-cho, Kyoto; CEO: Ayumu Mitera) is announcing the developing
and launching of disposal smart-wear for the first time in this industry, as a new product of wearable IoT brand hamon® released last year.
This new product remains not only comfortable to wear but reasonable product price that can be used as disposal.
As specially designed for nursing care, it makes users easy to slip on/off, and is also suitable for bedridden residents.

We will be facing a serious issue regarding nursing care when the generation born during Japan’s post-war baby boom reach 75-year-old in 2025. A help of medical, nursing services will be much in demand and a labor scarcity will become a serious problem. Yet, with this hamon® product, I am certain it enables us to assure better life for elderly and nursing-care quality. Developing a safer and more secure scientific nursing and reducing physical stress of caring staff will be our mission. For us to provide a full-hearted nursing care, we are extremely honored to conduct this test installation in our facilities to provide a better quality of nursing care before the rest of the world.
