Introduction
In a notable development for parental support, Mirabo Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo, has launched a revamped maternal and child health application, named 'mila-e Oyakotecho', in the picturesque Hinohara Village, Tokyo. This initiative is set to take effect on March 9, 2026, under the title of 'Hinohara Health Information App'.
Background of 'mila-e Oyakotecho'
Since 2023, Mirabo has been actively working with Hinohara Village to improve child-rearing support through the implementation of their maternal and child health app. The new approach aims to enhance the 'peer-support consultation' model, which is well-suited to the needs of parenting families. To this end, the original application has been renewed and rebranded to offer more comprehensive features.
New Features
One of the main enhancements included in the 'mila-e Oyakotecho' app is the integration with My Number Portal, which significantly reduces manual input for vaccination records. Previously, users had to input vaccination dates and other details manually—now, the app will automatically display these records without any input required from the user.
Additionally, users can continue to utilize several existing functionalities:
- - Email and Push Notifications: Receive timely updates from Hinohara Village tailored to the child’s age and developmental milestones.
- - Vaccination AI Scheduler: An innovative tool designed to prevent missed vaccinations by streamlining scheduling.
- - Electronic Maternal and Child Health Handbook: Users can record growth charts and infant health checks directly on their personal dashboard.
Beyond these features, the app also expands on valuable resources including a directory for local child-rearing information, multilingual translation services, and options for allergy checks and baby food services—both of which are patented innovations by Mirabo.
Supporting Sustainable Development
Through such advancements, Mirabo aims to foster a supportive environment for families, encouraging community well-being and health by leveraging ICT for sustainable child-rearing support. This commitment extends to enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of parenting resources available in the village.
