Mila-bo Expands Digital Infant Health Check Services

Mila-bo, a company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, dedicated to developing municipal services, is excited to announce an expansion of its digital health check-up service titled "mila-e (ミライー) 健診" in Yamagata City, Gifu Prefecture. Beginning in July 2026, the service will include health check-ups for infants aged one and a half years, marking a significant step forward in enhancing healthcare accessibility for families in the region.

Background of Expansion

Since August 2022, Mila-bo has been actively working with Yamagata City to provide a range of supportive services aimed at expectant and parenting families. The introduction of the "Yamagata City Childcare Support App, Sakura-kko Navi (さくらっこナビ)" has been a key component, offering families valuable resources and information. Furthermore, the digital check-up service "mila-e 健診" was initiated in May 2025, initially targeting group check-ups for infants aged three to four months and those aged ten to eleven months.

Thanks to a positive reception from parents utilizing the digital check-up forms, the initiative will now be expanded to include the one-and-a-half-year health check-up starting July 2026. This move signifies a commitment to making healthcare services more user-friendly and accessible for families.

What is "mila-e 健診"?

"mila-e 健診" is a digital questionnaire service designed specifically for infant health check-ups. This innovative service facilitates seamless communication among local municipalities, medical institutions, and parents, enabling efficient record-keeping for both individual and group check-ups.

The service has evolved through rigorous testing under projects provided by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, as well as the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Leveraging expertise gained from systems like the "Vaccination Record System" and the "COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate App," Mila-bo has continuously enhanced the functionality and reach of its services, primarily focusing on the infant healthcare sector.

For families in Yamagata City, this means a streamlined process when it comes to managing their child’s health check-ups, ultimately improving the overall experience.
