Dr. JOY’s Journey: A Commitment to Progress in Healthcare

Genesis of Dr. JOY
Originally founded in Okinawa, Dr. Ishimatsu’s vision began in a small on-call room, where he envisioned a more efficient workflow in healthcare. This vision materialized into famishare, leading to the development of Dr. JOY, a platform specifically designed for healthcare workers, and Pr. JOY, targeted at medical-related enterprises. Both platforms aim to revolutionize the operational support and communication in medical settings.
Expanding User Base and Offerings
Currently, Dr. JOY proudly serves over 100,000 active users while partnering with more than 3,700 medical facilities across Japan. Building on this foundation, the company has enhanced its offerings through practical solutions like attendance management systems, AI phone services tailored for hospitals, and smart visitation tools, thereby driving operational optimization in healthcare institutions.
