Tomare

What Tomare does

Tomare Corporation (株式会社トマーレ) is a privately held Japanese healthcare IT company founded in February 2012 and headquartered in Fukuoka, with secondary headquarters in Tokyo and a sales/service office in Kobe. The company is exclusively focused on the Japanese medical, nursing-care, and welfare sector, and has built a vertically integrated portfolio around dialysis clinic operations. Its core systems are boon, an electronic medical record system purpose-built for dialysis clinics; cueing, a dialysis information sharing system that links patient bedside terminals, weight scales, and dialysis machines to staff workflow tools while supporting patient amenities (TV, internet, VOD); and ME-smart, a medical equipment lifecycle and inspection management system for clinical engineering rooms. Adjacent modules extend the platform into nursing care necessity management (kahika), medical fee/claims optimization (follome), home hemodialysis support (cueingHHD), incident reporting (ir-akari), and a sensor-based motion training system for rehabilitation (TANO).

Tomare monetizes primarily through direct sales of its software and hardware systems to hospitals and dialysis clinics, plus recurring maintenance contracts, supplemented by paid consulting engagements with medical and welfare institutions. A separate licensed business line — ヒューマンキャピタルサービス — provides fee-based employment placement and temporary staffing of clinical engineering technicians, system engineers, nurses, and administrative staff to medical facilities. The go-to-market motion is heavily event-driven: the company exhibits at virtually every relevant Japanese medical academic conference (Japan Society for Dialysis Therapy, Japan Society of Clinical Engineering, regional clinical engineering societies, DiNQL, etc.), supported by regional direct sales coverage across Kyushu, Kanto, and Kansai, an online demo booking portal, and direct phone outreach. The company also operates two consumer-facing recipe sites (透析食.com and 腎臓病食.com) targeting dialysis and kidney disease patients.

The company holds a stack of regulated Japanese healthcare licenses that shape its operating perimeter: Privacy Mark certification (2015), fee-based employment placement license (2015), worker dispatch license (2016), highly-controlled medical device sales/rental license (2020), and medical device repair business license (2024). Leadership consists of President and Representative Director Junko Obayashi and Chairman and Representative Director Takashi Nomakuchi. The company is bootstrapped, with registered capital of ¥10 million, no disclosed external funding rounds, and no public revenue disclosures; employee count is reported in the 11–50 band.
