About the Award
The "Mizuho Innovation Award" is a testament to Mizuho Bank’s commitment to fostering groundbreaking businesses.

Henry’s recognition highlights its significant contributions to the healthcare industry through its development of the cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) and billing system.
Since launching the Henry platform, the company has faced the complex challenges within the medical industry head-on. Over the past two years, the integrated cloud EHR system has seen substantial adoption across hospitals nationwide, with measurable success resulting from operational improvements. For instance, in one hospital, the bed occupancy rate leaped from 60% to 100% following the implementation of Henry, showcasing tangible results from their innovative solutions.
Henry's co-founder expressed profound gratitude for this recognition, which underscores the company’s mission of advancing the digital transformation in healthcare. The award serves as motivation for Henry to further enhance its services and increase its contributions to the industry.
Reasons for the Award
As pointed out by Mizuho Bank, the healthcare industry faces numerous operational efficiency challenges due to complicated regulations and systems. Henry Inc. is pursuing true operational optimization through digital transformation (DX) by creating a cloud-based EHR and billing system. Their commitment to developing the challenging integrated billing system and their solid progress has established them in a unique position within the market, which earned them the Mizuho Innovation Award.
The future appears bright for Henry Inc. as they continue to expand their service offerings, strengthen their competitive advantages, and explore new business opportunities.
