Nurse-Founded Startup Tests AI Agent That Captures Nursing Know-How
The demonstration treats AI not as a transcription tool but as a way to externalize tacit nursing knowledge, addressing record burden and staffing shortages in the same project.

peaceful Inc. began a joint demonstration of NURVIS, a wearable AI agent for nurses, at Rakuwakai Marutamachi Hospital in Kyoto in August 2026. The system, worn through bone conduction earphones and a smartphone, auto-generates nursing records, checks procedures and drug information, and manages daily timelines. The demonstration also aims to visualize experienced nurses' judgment and care so it can be passed on to less experienced staff.
peaceful is led by Masanari Jinnouchi, who worked as a nurse in emergency, ICU, and neurosurgery before founding the company in October 2025. The demonstration runs at Rakuwakai Marutamachi Hospital, a 150-bed facility with six HCU beds in Kyoto. NURVIS generates nursing records from speech and behavior, checks procedures and drug information on the spot, and assembles daily timelines and reports. The stated aim is to give nurses back time with patients while turning individual judgment into organizational knowledge that newer staff can inherit.
