Introduction

Mila-bo, a company specialized in developing municipal services, has announced the introduction of its digital questionnaire service, 'mila-e Checkup,' in Kawashima Town located in Saitama Prefecture, which will begin operations in April 2026. This innovative service is designed to streamline the infant health checkup process by allowing parents to fill out questionnaires digitally using their smartphones.

Background of 'mila-e Checkup' Introduction

Starting from March 2026, Kawashima Town will incorporate a maternal and child health application developed by Mila-bo to enhance child-rearing services, referred to as the 'Kawamin Childcare Support Navigator.' Following this, the town will also utilize the 'mila-e Checkup' service, leveraging the support from the 'Comprehensive Health and Medical Measures Support Project' subsidy. This initiative aims to improve the overall experience for families during newborn visits.

Challenges Faced in Health Checkups

Traditionally, Kawashima Town used paper questionnaires for health screenings, which posed various issues such as the inconvenience of filling out forms and the potential for errors in responses. These challenges often hindered efficient communication between parents and health care providers, limiting the overall effectiveness of health checkups.

Leveraging 'mila-e Checkup' to Address Challenges

With the introduction of 'mila-e Checkup,' parents will have the opportunity to complete health questionnaires digitally from their smartphones, significantly reducing the time spent on paperwork. Health officials in the town will also benefit from real-time online access to health records, enhancing the efficiency of health screenings and improving service delivery.

Future Prospects

Mila-bo plans to expand the reach of the 'mila-e Checkup' service gradually, with operations for health assessments for four-month-old infants anticipated to start in June 2026. This shows the commitment of both Mila-bo and Kawashima Town to continuously improve and adapt health services for families.

Summary of 'mila-e Checkup'

The 'mila-e Checkup' is tailored specifically for infant health screenings, initially focusing on questionnaires required during newborn visits. For more information, residents of Kawashima Town can contact the Kawashima Town Childcare Support Division at 049-299-1765.
