Mira-bo Launches New Maternal and Child Health Applications in Kawaguchi City

Mira-bo, a company focusing on municipal services, has recently announced the launch of its innovative applications aimed at enhancing maternal and child health in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture. Effective April 1, 2026, the new services include the 'mila-e Oyaka Techo' app and an online reservation service known as 'mila-e Yoyaku', marking a significant step forward in modernizing public health tools.

Background of the Service Development

Since 2018, Mira-bo has been providing a vaccine tracking app called 'Wakuwaku Vaccine' based on its maternal and child health handbook. This new initiative reflects a commitment to further supporting families with a 'coaching-style consultation support' approach. The upgraded app, 'mila-e Oyaka Techo', will now serve as the 'Kawaguchi Oyaka Techo App' with enhanced features, including an online reservation system designed to streamline processes for parents.

Key Features of the 'mila-e Oyaka Techo' App

The 'mila-e Oyaka Techo' app introduces exciting new functionalities, such as:

• - My Number Portal Integration: Previously, users had to manually input vaccination dates into the app. Now, vaccination records will automatically be available in the app, eliminating the hassle of manual entry.
• - Push Notifications: Users will receive timely updates and parenting information directly related to their children's ages and developmental stages, simplifying access to crucial health information.
• - Vaccination Scheduler: This feature helps parents avoid missed vaccinations and assists in maintaining the appropriate intervals between immunizations.
• - Growth Tracking: Users can record growth graphs and health checkup notes, ensuring easy access to complete health data in one platform.

The app can be easily downloaded on both the App Store and Google Play, and it is also accessible via a web browser at this link. For current users of 'Wakuwaku Vaccine', data migration to the new application will be seamless, allowing continuity in service without data loss.

The 'mila-e Yoyaku' Online Reservation Service

In addition, Mira-bo has launched the 'mila-e Yoyaku' service, which allows parents to reserve slots for parenting classes and local events. Users can access the reservation portal from the main screen of the 'mila-e Oyaka Techo' app. After logging in with their mila-e account, users can quickly enter their information and make reservations, drastically reducing the need for phone calls or emails associated with booking sessions.

Commitment to Sustainable Support
