Mira-bo Enhances 'mila-e' Digital Checkup Service for Infants in Niigata
Mira-bo Corporation, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is set to expand its innovative digital checkup service, 'mila-e', in Minami Uonuma City, Niigata. Starting in February 2026, the new initiatives will include digital questionnaires for 1-year dental checkups and 2.5-year dental checkups, in addition to previously introduced services.
The Backstory Behind the Expansion
As part of a collaboration with iMobic, Mira-bo aims to streamline administrative tasks for local governments. The introduction of a comprehensive municipal portal app, scheduled for launch in October 2024, will serve as a centralized platform. This app will work alongside various digital services, including a maternal and child health handbook app and digital vaccination pre-screening.
Since the initial deployment of the 'mila-e' service, many parents have embraced the convenience of digital questionnaires. The recent expansion is a response to the increasing demand, reinforcing the commitment to digital transformation in healthcare services.
In 2026, further expansions are planned, including implementation of these digital solutions in 3-year checkups and dental assessments, enhancing support for child-rearing families.
