Mirabo Launches New Digital Services for Maternal and Child Health

Mirabo Corporation, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has taken significant strides in supporting maternal and child health by launching three new services in Gose City, Nara Prefecture. Starting June 1, 2026, residents will benefit from the maternal and child health app 'mila-e (ミライー)', digital coupon services, and an online application system.

Background of the Services

Gose City has been committed to supporting child-rearing families through its long-standing 'Waku-Waku Child-Rearing Navi', a service that the local government has offered since 2023. By renewing the foundational app to 'mila-e Oyakotecho' and offering it as the 'Gose City Oyakotecho', Mirabo aims to enhance its consultation support for child-rearing families.

In addition to the renewed app, two new features—'mila-e Coupons' and 'mila-e Application'—have been introduced, allowing residents to access these services conveniently online. These services will specifically cater to postpartum care by enabling residents to apply for, receive, and utilize digital coupons seamlessly, all through their smartphones.

Key Features of the 'mila-e Oyakotecho' App

The 'mila-e Oyakotecho' app comes packed with a range of helpful features:

• - Timely Notifications: Users will receive updates from Gose City tailored to their child's age and milestones through email alerts and push notifications.
• - Vaccination Scheduler: A feature that helps prevent missed vaccinations and errors in vaccine timing.
• - Health Tracking: The app provides a personal space for users to enter and monitor essential records such as growth graphs and health check-ups.

Users can easily download the app from the App Store or Google Play, or access the browser version at oyako-techo.jp. Notably, those transitioning from the old app will find the data migration process straightforward, ensuring they won't lose any essential information.

Introduction of Digital Coupons and Online Applications

The 'mila-e Coupon' service allows for the digital management of postpartum care programs such as short-stays and outreach services. Eligible participants include new mothers living in Gose City with infants under one year old, as well as individuals who have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth within the past year.

Specific facilities such as Shinyu Maternity Clinic and Mothering House Mitzuki have been included in this initiative, allowing users to effortlessly redeem coupons by simply scanning QR codes at participating locations. This greatly eases the burden during the challenging postpartum period, making it convenient for mothers to access necessary support.

Future Prospects

The recent upgrades to Gose City's maternal and child health services mark a significant leap towards creating a community where child-rearing is supported with utmost convenience. Mirabo remains committed to fostering a sustainable support platform utilizing ICT, thus ensuring that families can raise their children in a safe and supportive environment.

In addition, Mirabo's ongoing efforts in digitalizing public services are reflected in their various offerings such as the public certification service, a comprehensive ID management system, and an assortment of digital health services designed to improve overall healthcare accessibility.

These advancements signify Gose City's proactive approach in enhancing maternal and child health support—from pregnancy through child-rearing—crafting a roadmap for seamless assistance that resonates with the evolving needs of families today.
