Introduction of 'mila-e Oyakotecho' in Urayasu City

In a significant step towards improving maternal and child health services, Mirabo Corporation has launched its innovative app, 'mila-e Oyakotecho', in Urayasu City, located in Chiba Prefecture. Starting May 11, 2026, local families will benefit from this enhanced application designed to support them through the parenting journey.

Background of 'mila-e Oyakotecho'

Mirabo Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has been at the forefront of developing municipal services. Since 2014, the company has provided an earlier version of a maternal and child health app known as the 'Makete Anshin Immunization Navigator' (referred to as the old app), alongside the implementation of the online reservation service, 'mila-e Reservation', in 2023 to assist with postnatal care.

As part of the ongoing commitment to elevate support for parenting families, the existing maternal health app has been revamped and introduced as 'mila-e Oyakotecho'. The new app aims to strengthen the collaboration with childcare households, integrating various features to facilitate parenting needs more effectively.

New Features of 'mila-e Oyakotecho'

The latest version includes several compelling functions:
1. Timely Notifications: Parents will receive city announcements tailored to their child's age and development milestones through email alerts and push notifications.
2. Integrated Health Records: The app will automatically display vaccination records, eliminating the need for manual input after immunization.

In addition to these new features, users will continue to access existing functions, such as:

• - A vaccination scheduler designed to help eliminate missed doses and ensure the correct interval between vaccinations.
• - A digital health record feature where parents can maintain a personal log of growth charts and infant check-up records, enhancing tracking and engagement with healthcare professionals.

Commitment to Support Parenting

Mirabo Corporation is dedicated to sustaining a community where parenting is supported with ease and confidence. By leveraging ICT, the company aims to reinforce a long-lasting support system that aligns with evolving family needs.
