The "Infant Health Checkup Service" of "Childcare DX®," a digitalization support service for municipal childcare-related projects provided by Boshimo Inc., has been officially introduced in Abu Town, Abu District, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and will commence operations on Wednesday, April 1.
As a support measure utilizing ICT, Abu Town introduced the maternal and child health handbook app "Boshimo" as the "Ohisama App Abu" in November 2021. Since June 2023, it has also been providing the "Questionnaire Service" of "Childcare DX," which can be used as an additional function of "Boshimo."
This time, the procedures related to infant health checkups (1-year-old, 1.5-year-old, 2.5-year-old, and 3-year-old checkups) will be digitized through "Boshimo." This allows parents to fill out and submit medical questionnaires and check the results of the health examinations directly from the app.
◆ Digitizing Infant Health Checkups in Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Promoting Sustainable Town Development Using Technology!
Abu Town has set the basic goal of becoming a "town of safe childcare that stays close to each individual." The town is promoting community-wide development to support children and child-rearing families so that younger generations can fulfill their desire to marry and raise children with peace of mind.
Since November 2021, the maternal and child health handbook app "Boshimo" has been provided as the "Ohisama App Abu," enabling the recording and management of health data for expectant mothers and children, receiving advice on childbirth and childcare, and checking local information distributed by the town. Furthermore, in June 2023, to promote accompanied consultation support, the "Questionnaire Service" of "Childcare DX" was provided to create a system that allows residents to complete procedures more conveniently.
By introducing the "Childcare DX" "Infant Health Checkup Service" this time and digitizing the procedures related to infant health checkups, the town aims to improve the efficiency of administrative work and further expand resident services.
◆ Improving Convenience for Advance Procedures and Result Confirmation Related to Infant Health Checkups!
In Abu Town, the "Infant Health Checkup Service" will be utilized for 1-year-old, 1.5-year-old, 2.5-year-old, and 3-year-old checkups. This service enables the filling out and submission of medical questionnaires at the time of the checkup and the confirmation of the checkup results from the app. Because users can complete each procedure and check the results regardless of time or location, it reduces the hassle of filling out paper questionnaires, helps avoid congestion, and prevents omissions or input errors.
In addition, it enables rapid sharing of questionnaire contents and checkup result data from the checkup venue to the local government. This allows the local government to quickly check the status of children after the checkup, and a reduction in follow-up work such as data entry is also expected.
Moving forward, by developing a system for easier procedures and providing seamless support tailored to each individual, the town will alleviate the burdens and anxieties of child-rearing households and promote the creation of a convenient, safe, and secure environment for raising children.
Our company's vision is to reduce the friction coefficient related to pregnancy and childcare to zero. To achieve this, we are promoting the further expansion and linkage of support areas (maternity checkups, vaccinations, infant health checkups, etc.) through "Childcare DX," the development of an all-in-one stop application/procedure system for childcare, and the linkage of maternal and child health information with related organizations (medical, childcare/education, specialized institutions, etc.). Through this, we aim to alleviate the "anxiety and burden" of parents and co-create a "safe and simple" child-rearing society with local communities.
