Launch of the New Mother and Child Health App 'mila-e Oyako Techo'
On June 1, 2026, the town of Ogawa in Saitama Prefecture initiated its new mother and child health app called 'mila-e Oyako Techo'. This app, developed by Mirabo Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, aims to further enhance parental support services that have been in place for several years.
Background of the 'mila-e Oyako Techo'
Since 2016, Ogawa Town has offered the 'Ogawa Child-Rearing Support Navi', which was built upon an earlier version of the mother and child health app provided by Mirabo. This successful initiative has been part of the town's ongoing commitment to assist local families. To strengthen this support system, the town has now transitioned to the updated 'mila-e Oyako Techo' app, which includes a range of new and improved features for parents.
One of the most significant updates in the new app is the integration of the 'My Number Portal'. Previously, users had to manually input vaccination data into the app. However, with the launch of 'mila-e Oyako Techo', vaccination records will now display automatically without the need for manual entry.
Key Features of 'mila-e Oyako Techo'
In addition to the new My Number Portal integration, the app retains several existing features that make it a valuable tool for parents. These include:
- - Email and Push Notification System: This feature allows parents to receive timely updates based on their child's age or developmental stage.
- - Vaccination Scheduler: This patented tool helps prevent missed vaccinations and ensures correct intervals between them.
- - Electronic Mother and Child Health Handbook: Parents can keep records of growth charts and infant health checks within their personal profiles.
Together, these tools contribute to making child-rearing in Ogawa Town more convenient and secure.
Support for Parents
The launch of 'mila-e Oyako Techo' aligns with Ogawa Town's vision of building a supportive community for parents. By leveraging information and communication technology (ICT), the town aims to create a sustainable support system that accommodates the evolving needs of families.
