Japanese AI start-up Exawizards is using deep learning to study and improve nursing care for the country’s rapidly aging population. A shortfall of 340,000 care workers is forecast by 2025. The firm’s Coaching AI service combines monitoring cameras near patients with connected smart glasses and other devices for carers. Algorithms analyse how the caregiver works and give advice. “Healthcare has become a very big business in Japan, but it still needs more attention,” says Masashi Ito, chief executive officer at Exagears. Exawizards bases its approach on a method called Humanitude, which emphasises gentleness.
