CareMaker Visit Scheduling Cloud

CareMaker Inc. is a Japanese company that develops and operates CareMaker, a visit-schedule management and regional collaboration cloud service for home-visit nursing and home care agencies. It lists offices in Toyohashi, Aichi and Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and representative director Masatoshi Yamamura.

The cloud service uses AI to generate schedules with route efficiency based on client addresses, staff preferences and other service plans. It suggests candidate routes, flags problems such as unassigned accompanying staff or duplicate clients, and supports drag-and-drop editing on PCs, smartphones and tablets without installation. It replaces Excel and whiteboard scheduling.

• AI scheduling: generates schedules with route efficiency from addresses and staff preferences.
• Candidate suggestions: proposes routes and conditions that staff can adjust during calls.
• Alerts: flags unassigned accompanying staff, duplicate clients and restricted staff or days.
• Easy editing: drag-and-drop, bulk scheduling and memos with automatic data aggregation.
• Customisation: adapts to different business rules.
• API integration: connects with the Care Karte system.

A home nursing company in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City could automate daily visit routes. Hospital-run home care teams could schedule nurses and therapists across districts. Elderly care chains could reduce scheduling work done in spreadsheets.

A customer case study (Generas) reports roughly a 75% reduction in scheduling work hours. Schedules update while staff take incoming calls, and rule-based alerts reduce assignment errors. The service runs in a browser with no installation, and the site advertises no initial or monthly fee with a first-month-free campaign.

Japan's ageing population drives demand for home nursing and scheduling automation in a labour-short sector. Vietnam is ageing more slowly but its home nursing and caregiver agencies in large cities face similar route and rostering complexity.
