Cloud-based electronic medical records for Japanese hospitals
About Henry
Henry Inc., founded in May 2018 by Mitsuhito Sakasegawa and Taro Hayashi, develops and sells a cloud-based electronic medical record (EMR) and receipt computer (rese-con) system for medical institutions in Japan. Initially named B&W, the company rebranded to Henry in 2021. The founders, Sakasegawa and Hayashi, met at university and shared a vision of leveraging business to solve major societal problems, which led them to tackle Japan's challenging healthcare sector.
Read full description
The company's core product, "Henry," is an integrated system that manages everything from clinical records to accounting and insurance claims. It is designed specifically for small and medium-sized hospitals (under 100 beds), which constitute a majority of hospitals in Japan but often lag in digitalization due to limited resources. The platform aims to improve operational efficiency, with reported successes including increased hospital bed occupancy rates and enabling remote work for physicians. Key features include voice and tablet-based text input, visualization of management metrics, and integration with other medical tools like PACS. The business model is a subscription-based SaaS, which makes it more affordable by eliminating the need for on-premise servers and maintenance.
Henry has seen steady growth, serving over 50 medical institutions as of mid-2025. The company has successfully raised capital through multiple funding rounds, including a Series A round in June 2022 and a Series B round in July 2025 that raised ¥1 billion, bringing its total funding to approximately $12.2 million. Key investors include Globis Capital Partners, Femto Partners, Mitsubishi UFJ Capital, and SMBC Venture Capital. With this capital, Henry plans to enhance its platform for larger acute care hospitals (up to 400 beds) and expand its services to include IT infrastructure construction and medical BPO services.
