eWeLL Receives the 2025 Porter Prize for Innovative DX Strategy in Home Care Nursing

eWeLL’s Recognition at the 2025 Porter Prize

On October 7, 2025, eWeLL Inc., headquartered in Chuo-ku, Osaka, was honored with the prestigious 2025 Porter Prize. This award is presented annually to companies that demonstrate outstanding strategic innovation and maintain high profitability. eWeLL has garnered accolades for its unique DX strategy tailored specifically for the home nursing industry, particularly through its electronic medical record system, iBow.

The Achievement

eWeLL focuses on delivering support services for home nursing care facilities, a crucial aspect of healthcare amid an aging society. Despite the significance of home nursing, many facilities are small-scale and face high closure rates. eWeLL addresses this challenge by digitizing and streamlining daily tasks performed by nurses, such as medical records, insurance claims, and the creation of care plans and reports. By enhancing efficiency, eWeLL contributes to increased visit numbers and improved care quality, ultimately supporting the success of home nursing facilities.

Unlike many service providers who predominantly offer systems based on insurance claims, eWeLL's unique approach integrates DX-driven management across essential care tasks, leading to comprehensive operational efficiencies. This integrated system allows for smoother operations, enabling healthcare professionals to focus on patient care rather than administrative burdens.

The home nursing sector operates under multiple regulations, including the Medical Care Act and the Long-term Care Insurance Act. Given the complexity and frequent changes of these laws, eWeLL's deep expertise in this field, combined with its responsive systems, provides immense value to its clients. By staying abreast of evolving legal landscapes, eWeLL ensures that its services remain relevant and compliant.

Additionally, eWeLL has established a robust in-house sales and customer support team, dedicating 20% of its workforce to ensure comprehensive assistance and operations consulting. This client-centric approach has enabled eWeLL to effectively incorporate customer feedback into monthly product updates, ensuring their offerings remain aligned with user needs.
