Fujitsu recognized by World Economic Forum for project promoting sustainable hospital management leveraging AI
KAWASAKI, Japan, Jan 20, 2026 - (JCN Newswire) - Fujitsu today announced that its project with Social Medical Corporation Genshukai in Iki City, Nagasaki Prefecture, aimed at promoting sustainable hospital management through AI-driven profitability improvement and advanced management, has been selected as one of the advanced solutions in the MINDS program hosted by the AI Global Alliance of the World Economic Forum. The MINDS program recognizes and showcases successful AI initiatives that deliver measurable impact across society, selected by independent, cross-industry leaders in the global AI sector. This recognition, as one of 15 advanced solutions chosen from hundreds of applications, highlights Fujitsu's globally recognized commitment to transforming hospital operations. This marks Fujitsu's second consecutive selection, following its recognition in July 2025.
As part of the project with Genshukai, Fujitsu developed a hospital management solution leveraging Fujitsu Data Intelligence PaaS, an operations platform utilizing data and AI, delivered through its Uvance business model, which addresses societal challenges. This solution is demonstrating its effectiveness at Genshukai's Mitsutake Hospital by controlling facility standards, optimizing bed utilization, and streamlining patient processes from admission to discharge.
With approximately 70% of hospitals in Japan operating at a deficit [1] , Genshukai urgently needed to reduce medical fee repayments caused by the complexity of the medical fee system and maximize revenue through optimized bed utilization to ensure the continuous provision of regional medical care.
The project received particular commendation for the following aspects:
1. Integration of AI for sustainable management: The project demonstrated how AI can be integrated into an organization's operating model through a hospital management solution, moving beyond short-term fixes to achieve sustainable hospital management
2. High scalability and contribution to healthcare resilience: The hospital management solution boasts high scalability, capable of flexibly integrating unstructured data that lacks a unified format; this allows for its deployment in small to large hospitals across Japan, contributing to enhanced healthcare resilience and sustainability
3. Tangible business impact: Mitsutake Hospital achieved improved management sustainability and operational efficiency, resulting in an approximately 10% increase in annual revenue and a reduction of approximately 400 hours per month in hospital administrative tasks
Under its Uvance business model, which addresses societal challenges, Fujitsu will continue to create advanced cases through Decision Intelligence powered by data and AI, driving customer business growth and solving societal issues.
