Mirabo Launches Disability Support App in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture

In a groundbreaking initiative, Mirabo Inc. has introduced the “Tamba City Disability Support App” in Tamba City, Hyogo Prefecture, marking the first deployment of its kind in the Kinki region. This application aims to enhance the accessibility of information and services for people with disabilities and their families, as well as caregivers and relevant organizations.

Background of the Launch

Tamba City has long recognized the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and their families in accessing vital welfare information. Feedback indicated that residents often struggled to locate necessary services using existing channels. In response to these issues, Tamba City has collaborated with Mirabo to develop a tailored app that simplifies and centralizes information delivery, thus promoting welfare digital transformation (DX).

Features of the Tamba City Disability Support App

The app delivers numerous features aimed at improving user experience:

- Customized Notifications: Users will receive tailored updates regarding welfare policies and relevant information based on their specified needs. This eliminates the necessity for searching through cumbersome paper or online resources, allowing for a more streamlined experience.

- Digital Accessibility: The app provides a searchable database of the “Tamba City Disability Welfare Program”, enabling users to filter information by category, disability type, and other criteria. This feature ensures that the content is both comprehensive and easy to navigate.

- Business Listings: Users can access a catalog of local service providers and organizations specializing in disability support, enhancing resource visibility and accessibility.

- Barrier-Free Map: The app features a map that highlights businesses and organizations that have committed to creating inclusive environments for people with disabilities.

- Digital Support Book: A unique feature allowing users to input and manage personal care records digitally. This becomes especially useful in emergencies, as users can seamlessly share crucial information with healthcare and support personnel.

How to Access the App

To download the Tamba City Disability Support App, users can search for it on the App Store or Google Play. Alternatively, access is also available via a web browser at Tamba City Welfare Information.

For inquiries, residents can contact the Tamba City Welfare Department at Tel: 0795-88-5263.

Statement from Tamba City Officials

According to Mr. Araki, Head of the Welfare Department for Disability Support, the impetus behind this digital transformation was the consistent feedback from residents struggling with conventional information channels. By adopting this app, the city aims to not only enhance convenience but ensure that essential resources reach the hands of those who need them most. The app allows for real-time updates, and notifications can be pushed directly to users, ensuring they stay informed about critical support services.

Mr. Araki further emphasized the importance of the app in emergency situations. The inclusion of the support book feature allows users to document vital health and care information, providing peace of mind not only in daily life but during unforeseen events as well.

Future Expectations

Tamba City is looking forward to increasing awareness and usage of the app. The goal is to ensure that users experience improved accessibility and convenience in their daily lives. Through continued collaboration with Mirabo, feedback will be actively sought from users to further enhance the app's offerings, catering to the diverse needs of individuals with disabilities as well as their families and caregivers.
