Willingness to use home-care robots and views regarding the provision of personal information in Japan
By choice or by design? Changing landscape of higher education in Japan and views of STEM students at a women’s university
A traditionally strong presence of women’s universities in Japan has now been seriously challenged owing to the decline in the university-age population. Despite a plethora of initiatives to promote women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), the underrepresentation of women still remains an issue. With the rise of equality, diversity and inclusion concepts, what does it mean to study STEM at women’s university from the stud…
Assembling Sociality in Caring Spaces
Can robots help care professionals deliver person-centered care? If so, how? The questions concerning the relationship between care and technology have long been a focus of debate and discussion. The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of various technologies and opened the door to trialing products and services that had previously been deemed unsuitable for care settings. Seizing the moment of change, we conducted fieldwork in two …
Unlocking the Paradox of Intercultural Collaboration in Integrated Community Care
Relational and socialisation processes should be recognised, nurtured and valued as integral components of intercultural collaborative efforts in integrated community care. Knowledge gained from this experience can inform cross-cultural efforts to support the global integrated community care movement
Home‐care robots – Attitudes and perceptions among older people, carers and care professionals in Ireland
Many countries face major challenges to ensure that their health and social care systems are ready for the growing numbers of older people (OP). As a way of realising ageing in place, assistive technologies such as home-care robots are expected to play a greater role in the future. In Asia and Europe, robots are gradually being adopted as a public policy solution to the workforce shortage. Yet, there is still a strongly held belief that such tech…
The ageing ‘care crisis’ in Japan
Japan is facing a ‘care crisis’. There is an urgent need to ascertain the extent to which potential users are willing to use robotics-aided care before its roll-out as a formal policy. Based on our recent survey, we discuss home-care professionals’ real perceptions and their implications for the future development and implementation of home-care robots. While they showed some concerns about robotics-aided care, they perceived ‘physical support’, …
Assessing the Impact of an Original Soft Communicative Robot in a Nursing Home in Japan
It has been reported that robotics-aided care can contribute to enhancing older people’s social participation and quality of life in nursing homes, while simultaneously reducing the burden on care professionals at nighttime. Due to increasing demand for social care and the relative workforce shortage, it is likely that a greater number and variety of robots will be introduced and implemented in the future. While the benefits of applying robots an…
Can connected technologies improve sleep quality and safety of older adults and care-givers? An evaluation study of sleep monitors and communicative robots at a residential care home in Japan

Regulating risks in healthcare in Japan
Liberal practice in the medical professions has long been the tradition and de-facto position of the Japanese government. However, accountability and transparency in healthcare governance have recently drawn scrutiny, primarily due to several adverse events in hospitals. While New Public Management and risk-based approaches have not penetrated the design of regulatory management and compliance strategies, there has been increased institutional ca…

Maternity Services and Policy in an International Context
Events, Politics and Patterns of Policy‐Making
This article examines the major malpractice incidents in the late 1990s through early 2000s in the UK and Japan, comparing how these incidents opened up pathways for a new type of hospital regulation in each case. Applying John Kingdon's three‐stream model of agenda‐setting and policy change, the article argues that governance arrangements as well as the policy instruments that a government has at its disposal determine how an event could be tran…
Understanding institutional conversion
This article focuses on one type of institutional change: conversion. One innovative approach to institutional change, the “political-coalitional approach”, acknowledges that: institutions can have unintended effects, which may privilege certain groups over others; institutions are often created and sustained through compromise with external actors; and institutions’ external context can vary significantly over time, as different coalitions’ powe…
Accountability, organisational learning and risks to patient safety in England
This article examines the current risk regulation regime, within the English National Health Service (NHS), by investigating the two, sometimes conflicting, approaches to risk embodied within the field of policies towards patient safety. The first approach focuses on promoting accountability and is built on legal principles surrounding negligence and competence. The second approach focuses on promoting learning from previous mistakes and near-mis…
Towards democratic governance of uncertainty? Contesting notions of participation, control and accountability
Managing risk in international society has posed a new challenge not only to states and international organisations, but also to experts, scientists and citizens. It has generated a demand for new sets of laws, regulations, instruments and governing bodies to tackle various risks such as natural disasters, economic and financial crises, and unintended consequences of policy reforms. Accordingly, new modes of interactions between states, experts a…

Events, Public Discourses and Responsive Government
One would expect the common agenda of improving the quality of care in hospital sectors across nations to bring about a convergence of their quality assurance systems. However, one finds great variations in the ways in which such schemes are constructed and communicated to the general public in different countries. This paper examines three universal health care systems (England, Sweden and Japan) and explores the degree to which political instit…
