Plus Partners with Beebrid to Revolutionize Elderly Care ICT

Plus Inc., located in Minato, Tokyo, has announced an exciting partnership with Beebrid, a company specializing in ICT support for the elderly care and welfare sector, based in Taito, Tokyo. This collaboration is set to launch in March 2026 as part of Plus's delivery service for nursing and welfare facilities, known as "Smart Care," alongside Beebrid's specialized ICT support service named "Homusapo."

The recent changes in the nursing care reimbursement system in 2024 have emphasized the importance of infrastructure improvement in digital sectors by introducing the "Productivity Enhancement Promotion System Addition." This adjustment highlights a pressing need for the enhancement of digital capabilities amongst care facilities. However, many of these facilities are struggling due to a lack of skilled personnel and resources, resulting in slow adaptation to necessary IT advancements.

Through this strategic collaboration, all member facilities of "Smart Care" can conveniently access Beebrid's services like help desks and consulting at a minimal monthly fee, starting from 22,000 yen (tax included). This affordable access will empower elderly care facilities to resolve various IT issues promptly, including computer and smartphone malfunctions, network disruptions, and necessary security measures. The support extends beyond mere technical assistance; it also aims to guide users through the complexities of the Japanese nursing care insurance system and digital transformation strategies in the sector.

Moreover, the timely assistance from Beebrid will ensure compliance with the new reimbursement conditions, enabling facility staff to focus primarily on care, aligning with their core responsibilities—caring for the elderly rather than being bogged down by technology-related issues. Ultimately, this initiative not only alleviates staff burdens but also strives to improve overall operational efficiency in the care environment.

Plus Inc. remains committed to developing innovative platforms tailored for nursing facilities. By expanding support services through collaborations with reliable business partners, the company aims to ease the workload of facility staff and foster an environment of "care with a smile."
