NURVIS: Revolutionizing Nursing Care with AI

In August 2026, Peaceful Inc., based in Nerima, Tokyo, launched a collaborative verification project of its AI agent system, NURVIS, with Rakuwa Hospital in Kyoto. This innovative system, designed specifically for nurses, aims to alleviate their workload while enhancing the quality of care provided to patients.

Overview of the Verification Project

The verification study at Rakuwa Hospital will allow nurses to incorporate NURVIS into their daily routines. This project goes beyond simply easing the burden of documentation; it seeks to make the often-unspoken insights and judgments of nurses visible. By doing so, the project will assess the improvement in nursing practices and the overall sustainability of medical care.

What is NURVIS?

NURVIS operates through bone conduction headphones and smartphones, serving as a hands-free assistant for nurses. It allows for the automatic creation of nursing records based on spoken input by the nurses, real-time verification of nursing procedures and medication information, management of daily timelines, and assistance in preparing reports and conferences. More than a mere tool for voice input, NURVIS is designed to support nurses' cognitive processes, providing necessary information just when it’s needed, effectively becoming a second brain for the nursing staff.

Data privacy is paramount, and systems to ensure the safe handling of patient information are rigorously integrated.

Goals of the Verification

The project aims not only to lighten the documentation burden but also to make nursing practices more visible. It seeks to illuminate the extensive knowledge held by experienced nurses regarding observational skills, patient interactions, and family communications—areas traditionally confined to personal experience. By visualizing exceptional nursing practices, the project is poised to help mentor less experienced nurses, effectively raising the overall standard of care. Furthermore, the study will evaluate support in peer consultation, conferences, and training of new nurses. This would ultimately help nurses reclaim time to engage more meaningfully with patients, aiming to create a sustainable healthcare environment.

The Current Healthcare Landscape

Within healthcare settings, the growing demands on nursing staff alongside recruitment challenges have become serious concerns. Furthermore, much of the exceptional nursing practice knowledge resides solely in individual experience, making it difficult for such insights to become organizational wisdom. Peaceful’s mission focuses on making healthcare sustainable by externalizing cognitive load through technology and visualizing nursing knowledge to maintain high-quality healthcare with limited talent.

Statement from Rakuwa Hospital

A representative from Rakuwa Hospital highlighted that as indirect tasks like documentation rise, ensuring nurses have adequate time to engage with patients becomes crucial. The current verification aims to incorporate NURVIS into everyday nursing tasks, not only to enhance documentation efficiency but also to explore the potential visibility of nursing judgments and observations made by nurses. They emphasize the importance of safety and privacy as they consider employing AI to aid nursing practices, striving for enhanced care quality and a sustainable healthcare system.

Vision from Peaceful Inc.

Masakazu Jinnochi, CEO of Peaceful Inc., expressed, "Having worked as a nurse in emergency care, ICU, and neurosurgery, I have always felt that although there is remarkable nursing present, the wisdom and judgments of individuals remain unshared. NURVIS is not just a tool for aiding documentation; it is intended to visualize nursing insights and facilitate their transfer to future generations. I look forward to crafting the future of nursing alongside the dedicated nurses at Rakuwa Hospital."
