Milabo Introduces Innovative Maternal and Child Health App in Kumamoto

Milabo Inc., located in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its newest initiative, the 'mila-e' app, designed for maternal and child health services in Kumamoto Prefecture. This significant move, commencing operations on January 14, 2026, will enhance services and support for families raising children in the region.

Background of the 'mila-e' App and Online Reservation Service

With a proven commitment to child-rearing assistance, Kumamoto's Wamizu Town has been actively developing various support programs. To further strengthen its ‘accompanying consultation support’ system, the town will utilize the new ‘Local Economy and Living Environment Creation Subsidy’ for implementing Milabo’s two main services: the 'mila-e' maternal and child health app and an online reservation service.

Features of the 'mila-e' Maternal and Child Health App

The 'mila-e' app boasts numerous features aimed at streamlining the monitoring and management of child health. Notably, it includes:

• - An online survey function that allows for targeted questionnaires such as a 'Pregnancy 8-Month Survey.'
• - An AI-based vaccination scheduler that minimizes missed vaccinations and errors in vaccination intervals.
• - A digital maternal and child health record feature to help track growth charts and various health check records.

Utilizing the app will allow users to receive timely notifications on childcare information from the municipality based on the child’s age or developmental stage. Furthermore, users will effortlessly transition from the app to online reservations for maternal health services or postnatal care, significantly reducing the hassle of phone bookings.

Future Online Application Services

Starting from April 2026, Wamizu Town plans to introduce an array of online application services that encompass support for pregnant women, such as maternity benefits, postnatal care services, assistance for dental health examinations, and hearing screenings for newborns.

Comprehensive Utilization of 'mila-e'

The 'mila-e' service integrates two key components:
1. Maternal and Child Health App (mila-e oyako techo) - This app ensures that users can receive timely updates and seamlessly manage child health records, while also benefiting from features like the AI vaccination scheduler and reminder notifications.
2. Online Reservation Service (mila-e yuyaku) - This platform facilitates the booking of various maternal and child health services, including the issuance of health notebooks and postnatal care consultations, making it easier for families to access essential services without unnecessary delays.

Wamizu's Commitment to Child-Rearing Support

In July 2023, Wamizu Town declared its commitment to being a ‘nurturing town for children’ by launching the ‘Child and Parenting Support Declaration.’ This initiative is backed by strategic planning, which aims to create environments where children can thrive and young individuals become self-sufficient. The town's overarching vision is encapsulated in its ‘Wamizu Child Plan,’ aiming for a community brimming with joyful children and robust support systems for families.
