Launch of Digital Health Services in Mifune Town

Mila-bo Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the introduction of its maternal and child health applications, namely "mila-e (Mirai) Oyako Handbook" and the online reservation service "mila-e Reservation," in Mifune Town, Kumamoto Prefecture. These services are set to launch on June 22, 2026.

Background for Implementation

Mifune Town has long been committed to various initiatives supporting families with children. To enhance their "coaching-style consultation support" for child-rearing households, the town has opted to integrate two innovative services developed by Mila-bo: the "mila-e Oyako Handbook" and the "mila-e Reservation." This step aims to provide timely assistance to families in navigating child health and related services.

Features of the "mila-e Oyako Handbook"

The "mila-e Oyako Handbook" smartphone application is equipped with several functionalities that will aid parents in managing their children's health. Among its features are:

• - Vaccination Scheduler: This tool helps ensure that no vaccinations are missed and manages the intervals between them.
• - Digital Maternal and Child Health Handbook Features: Parents can keep track of growth charts and document their children's health check-ups and vaccination records securely in their personalized space.

Moreover, the application allows users to receive timely notifications from the town related to their child's developmental milestones and necessary health updates via push notifications, facilitating seamless transitions to online bookings for official maternal and child health handbooks.

Accessing the Services

Parents can access the manual and online reservation service conveniently:

• - For the App Version: Download from App Store or Google Play.
• - For the Browser Version: Visit oyako-techo.jp.

To book appointments for maternal and child health handbook issuance, users need to log in to the "mila-e Reservation" via the app's main screen and follow the instructions to reserve the service after verifying their information through their mila-e authentication account.

Additional Services

Mila-bo also offers several other digital tools:

• - Official Personal Authentication and Shared ID – This service allows for simplified authentication within public services, reducing the need for repetitive information inputs during electronic applications.
• - Municipal Counter Digital Services – Known as "mila-e Application," it streamlines various bureaucratic tasks into a single application, enhancing ease for users.
