Maternal and Child Health Handbook App 'Boshimo' Launches in Neba Village, Nagano Prefecture!

The maternal and child health handbook app 'Boshimo,' operated by Boshimo Inc., has been introduced in Neba Village, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture, and will be available as 'Koneba-chan Techo Navi' starting Wednesday, April 1st. Neba Village aims to create a community where children can be born and raised with peace of mind, through a system where the entire region is involved in supporting and watching over children's growth, rather than parents raising them alone. This time, 'Boshimo,' which can record paper maternal and child health handbook data as digital data and has been introduced in over 830 municipalities, has been adopted. The operation will begin based on the policy of utilizing electronic maternal and child health handbooks by the Children and Families Agency and promoting maternal and child health DX. 'Boshimo' is an app that easily supports vaccination schedules, health checkup result management, and local information distribution via smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Since data is stored in the cloud, it serves as a backup in case of loss of the physical handbook due to disasters, and it also supports continuous use when moving to other municipalities or changing devices, allowing for peace of mind. The app includes features such as 'Dekitayo Kinenbi' (Milestone Diary), which allows parents to record developmental stages and milestones with photos and messages, and serves as a guide for child growth. It also supports the creation of an environment where people can give birth and raise children with peace of mind even in emergencies, by instantly delivering important information from the local government or public health nurses via text or video.
