Reasons for the Event

Recent social changes indicate a growing population among individuals with disabilities, leading to an increase in the number of disability welfare service providers—approximately 1.2 times from April 2021 to December 2024. While the demand for services continues to rise, many small or medium-sized enterprises face operational challenges due to limited resources. A significant number of these businesses spend substantial time on indirect tasks such as paperwork and information sharing with relevant institutions, hindering their ability to focus on quality care for individuals with disabilities. Consequently, the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) has been slow, exacerbating these issues.

What to Expect at the KabeNashi Forum

At the KabeNashi Forum, participants will engage in specialized seminars and discussions that will introduce effective methods to implement generative AI in disability welfare workplaces. Attendees will hear from two experts who will discuss the following topics:

1. "Creating Time to Engage with Users through AI Utilization - Practical AI Techniques for Immediate Use" by Ai Yoshitani, CEO of Aifuroide. This session will cover creating individual support plans using tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Studio, providing actionable examples for attendees to immediately apply in their work.

2. "DX Strategies for Business Efficiency in Disability Welfare Organizations" by Ryo Nakagawa, President of the Japan Care Business Federation’s Disability Welfare Division. This lecture will focus on tailored digital transformation strategies specifically for the disability welfare sector, showcasing successful case studies of efficiency improvements using KabeNashi Cloud.

The event is also tailored for new business prospects. Those contemplating launching their own disability welfare services will have access to the KabeNashi Startup Support consultation booth, where they can interact with staff members for guidance on essential procedures like establishment applications or navigating through the startup process.
