Pers Japan

What Pers Japan does

PERS JAPAN (パースジャパン) is a private Japanese company founded in 1984 that exclusively serves the hospital and medical facility market across Japan. Its core business is the rental of patient room equipment—bedside cabinets, LCD televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, electric multi-function chairs, long-arm LCD TVs for dialysis beds, and mattresses—combined with proprietary in-room service infrastructure. The company complements its rentals with hospital IT solutions such as Wi-Fi services, TV card billing systems, hospital IC card systems, medical records external storage, facility design, and medical nursing pictograms, as well as a separately operated human resources services unit offering temporary staffing and business contracting.

The company's technology backbone is its proprietary TV card payment platform, which integrates patient-facing entertainment, Wi-Fi ticketing (patent application pending), and direct patient billing through the PERSPay service. Its in-house developed caeeru (カエール) platform provides smartphone-based ordering from hospital shops with bedside delivery. PERS JAPAN also functions as a value-added distributor for third-party hospital products from manufacturers such as Sharp (electronic paper displays, photocatalyst coating), Daikin (UV Streamer air purifiers), Brother (PT-series laminate label printers), Zebra (TC52-HC healthcare mobile computers), SourceNext (Pocketalk translators, Meeting Owl 360 cameras), Buffalo (TeraStation NAS), QNAP, Yubico, Karcher, Maxell, BOSE, and Yamaha.

PERS JAPAN generates revenue through recurring hospital equipment rentals, managed-solution contracts, direct product sales, pay-per-use Wi-Fi transactions (for example, 200 yen per 24 hours and 500 yen per 72 hours via TV card vending machines), and human resources services. Distribution is direct-to-hospital across Japan via sales offices in Tokyo (headquarters), Saitama (newly opened April 2026), and Chubu/Nagoya (relocated February 2026). The company holds a Privacy Mark certification, is an SIAA member, has a patent-pending Wi-Fi ticketing system, and engages in brand-building through sports sponsorships of Chiba Jets, Pescadola Machida, Saitama Ageo Medics, and Yokohama TKM. Masahiro Takanishi serves as representative director.

• France Bed Holdings: Japanese bed and care equipment manufacturer with significant hospital business. Comparable because France Bed supplies hospital room furnishings to Japanese hospitals, overlapping with PERS's bedside cabinet and mattress product lines.
• Paramount Bed Holdings: Japanese manufacturer of hospital beds and patient room furniture. Both companies serve Japanese hospitals with patient-room equipment, making Paramount Bed the closest domestic comparable in scope (beds, mattresses, bedside furniture) and customer base.

Emerging players

• NEC Corporation: Large Japanese IT conglomerate with healthcare IT offerings for hospitals. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for hospital IT budgets, particularly in electronic medical records and networked hospital systems.
• Nihon Kohden Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of medical electronic equipment sold to hospitals. Comparable as a domestic incumbent hospital equipment supplier, though Nihon Kohden focuses on clinical monitoring rather than patient-comfort products.
• Fujitsu Limited: Large Japanese IT conglomerate with a healthcare vertical including hospital information systems and digital health solutions. Comparable because Fujitsu competes with PERS in hospital IT and digital infrastructure, though as a much broader and larger player.
