Yu Wakebe of Henry Corp to Speak at Japan Hospital Association's '2026 Medical DX Talent Development Program'

Henry Corp, provider of the cloud-native electronic medical record and receipt computer system 'Henry' (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mitsuto Sakasegawa), announces its participation in the '2026 Medical DX Talent Development Program' hosted by the Japan Hospital Association. Our own Yu Wakebe will lecture on 'Medical DX and Medical Fee Revision' at the second session held on July 23, 2026 (Thursday).

Background and Objectives: The 2026 medical fee revision clearly demonstrated that medical DX has shifted from 'concept' to 'implementation.' Medical information is evolving from being hospital-contained to a platform connecting institutions, and electronic records are shifting from 'internal systems' to 'the core connecting to national infrastructure.' Cloud adoption and standardization are now matters of regulatory compliance rather than just IT choices.

This program is designed by the Japan Hospital Association to train 'conductors' who can proactively lead hospital DX. As a provider of cloud-native systems for small and medium-sized hospitals, Henry will participate to share practical insights regarding national policies like medical fee revisions and medical DX.
