The maternal and child health handbook application 'Boshimo,' operated by Boshimo Inc., has been introduced in Matsukawa Village, Kitaazumi District, Nagano Prefecture, and has been available as the 'Matsukawa Village Child-rearing App Matsu-Iku' since Wednesday, April 1.
Under the basic philosophy of 'a village full of children's smiles,' Matsukawa Village provides community-wide support to ensure children grow up healthily and parents find joy in child-rearing. The village is promoting community development where children's smiles naturally bring smiles to adults as well.
This time, 'Boshimo,' which can record paper maternal and child health handbook data digitally and has been adopted by over 830 municipalities, was selected. The operation is launched in accordance with the Children and Families Agency's policy*1 to promote the use of electronic maternal and child health handbooks and advance maternal and child health DX.
'Boshimo' is an application that easily supports the management of vaccination schedules, health checkup results, and the distribution of local information via smartphones, tablet devices, and PCs. Because data is stored in the cloud, it serves as a backup in case the physical handbook is lost due to disasters. It also supports continuous use when moving to other municipalities or changing devices, allowing users to continue using it with peace of mind.

In Matsukawa Village, as part of the HAPPY BABY Project 'Gifts from Matsukawa Village,' they celebrate the birth of children and pray for their healthy growth by presenting gifts such as 'natural wood pieces (building blocks)' or 'wooden bells (rattles).' Through such warm support unique to Matsukawa Village, they lovingly support child-rearing households.
Furthermore, by utilizing the community's power in school management, 'Community School Volunteers' are active in aiming to solve issues faced by children. Parents and local residents interact with children through activities like watching over them during their commute, learning support, club activity assistance, and acting as instructors utilizing their expertise. They work towards realizing high-quality school education involving the entire community.
To make these village initiatives more convenient for child-rearing households, 'Boshimo' was adopted as a new tool for disseminating child-rearing information.
◆ A community-based child-rearing app firmly supports pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare!
'Matsukawa Village Child-rearing App Matsu-Iku,' adopted by Matsukawa Village, is a service compatible with smartphones, tablets, and PCs. It is packed with convenient features to assist busy mothers and fathers balancing childcare and work. These include recording and managing health data for pregnant women and children, managing vaccination schedules, providing advice on childbirth and childcare, sharing functions with family members such as grandparents living far away, and notifying users of local information distributed by the village.
The 'I Did It Anniversary' feature, which can be used as a childcare diary, was created based on the maternal and child health handbook format examples from the Children and Families Agency. Not only can it record developmental stages and childcare-related anniversaries with photos and messages, including the 'Guardian's Record' section of the handbook, but it also serves as a benchmark for children's growth and development.
In addition, when societal environmental changes occur due to the impact of infectious diseases or other emergencies, the app can instantly deliver important information to those who need it via text or video, such as alerts from the local government or advice from public health nurses. This supports the creation of an environment where users can safely give birth and raise children even during emergencies.
