CARESPACE

What CARESPACE does

CARESPACE (株式会社CARESPACE) is a Japan-based care-technology company founded on August 25, 2020 by Miura Ryo (三浦 亮), headquartered in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture. The company operates the CareSpace (ケアスペース) web platform, a cloud-based information-sharing and operational efficiency tool for the nursing care industry, targeting two primary SMB customer segments: Care Manager Offices (ケアマネジャー) and Nursing Care Service Facilities (介護事業所). The platform enables these users to manage and share care recipient information, check real-time facility availability, and coordinate meeting and administrative scheduling — replacing traditional phone and FAX workflows that dominate Japan's regional care coordination.

The underlying technology is an internet-based cloud web platform with no disclosed proprietary algorithms, AI components, or patents; product differentiation is positioned around integration and interoperability within the care manager-to-facility information flow rather than underlying technical novelty. The platform originated from the founder's nine years of prior operating experience at two Yamagata daycare facilities run through 株式会社LINK since 2013, lending practitioner credibility that has been formalized through Yamagata Prefecture and Yamagata City startup awards and a municipal demonstration experiment launched in October 2022 at the Nadeshiko Regional Comprehensive Support Center.

CARESPACE operates a sales-led, subscription-based SaaS model with recurring revenue mechanics, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct: customers initiate contact via the corporate website inquiry form or a toll-free number (0120-004-115), with a stated 2-business-day response commitment. Distribution is single-country (Japan), with operations currently scoped to the Tohoku Region. Institutional capital is represented by ANRIMAKOTO Capital as a disclosed major shareholder alongside the founder. The company is privately held, has no subsidiaries, no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, no open positions, and no public revenue figures.

Direct peers

• Canamic Network (カナミックネットワーク): Listed Japanese SaaS vendor (TYO:3938) providing nursing care, medical, and childcare cloud software to care managers and facilities. Direct overlap with CareSpace's customer segments (care manager offices and nursing care service facilities) and product category (cloud-based care coordination).
• Y's System (ワイズマン): Long-established Japanese software vendor specializing in nursing care, medical, and welfare facility management systems. Competes head-to-head with CareSpace for the same nursing care SMB customers with comparable workflow and facility coordination features.
• Welfare Soft (株式会社福祉ソフト): Japanese vendor of nursing care and welfare facility management software, including care planning, records, and inter-provider coordination tools. Closely comparable in product scope and SMB care-facility target customer to CareSpace.

Broad incumbents

• SMS Co., Ltd. (株式会社エス・エム・エス): Public Japanese company offering nursing care facility SaaS, care worker placement, and information services for medical and care providers. Serves the same care-manager-and-facility buyer base as CareSpace but as part of a much broader services portfolio.
• SOMPO Care (SOMPO Holdings): Subsidiary of major Japanese insurance holding SOMPO, operating one of the largest senior care service networks in Japan and investing in care-sector digital platforms. A potential partner or competitor with massive scale that could pressure niche SaaS players like CareSpace.

Emerging players

• Welby (株式会社Welby): Digital health platform company in Japan focused on patient-centric apps, PHR, and chronic disease self-management. Less directly competitive on care-manager workflows but adjacent in selling digital tools that improve coordination among healthcare and care stakeholders in Japan.
