The Mother and Child Health Handbook app "Boshi-mo", operated by Boshi-mo Co., Ltd., has been introduced in Watarai Town, Watarai District, Mie Prefecture, and began offering services as "Watarai Child-rearing App" from April 1st (Wednesday).
Watarai Town operates with the basic philosophy of "Watarai children nurtured and watched over by everyone, together with nature," and is working as a community to provide seamless child-rearing support to promote the happiness and healthy growth of children.
This time, "Boshi-mo," which allows paper mother and child health handbook data to be recorded as digital data and has been introduced in over 830 municipalities, was adopted. Operations will commence based on the Children and Families Agency's policy of utilizing electronic mother and child health handbooks and promoting maternal and child health DX.
"Boshi-mo" is an app that easily supports vaccination schedules, health checkup result management, and local information distribution via smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Since data is saved in the cloud, it serves as a backup in case of loss of the mother and child health handbook due to disasters, and also supports continued use when relocating to other municipalities or changing devices, allowing users to continue using it with peace of mind.
## "Boshi-mo" Launched in Watarai Town, Mie Prefecture, with Enhanced and Thoughtful Support for Child-Rearing Households!
To further enhance support for expectant mothers, children, and child-rearing families, Watarai Town established the "Children and Families Center" in April Reiwa 7 (2025). This center integrates the existing "Comprehensive Support Center for Child-Rearing Generations (Maternal and Child Health)," which provides consultations for expectant mothers and infants, and the "Comprehensive Child and Family Support Hub (Child Welfare)," which offers consultations for child-rearing families requiring support or dealing with abuse. By strengthening cooperation, it aims to establish a system that connects all expectant mothers, children, and their families residing in the town with necessary support and services for various concerns and problems.
Additionally, the "Watarai Town Child-rearing Support Center" is committed to creating an environment that supports both children and parents, offering "Watakko Hiroba" where parents and children can play freely, exchange spaces for different age groups, and refreshment courses for parents.
This time, "Boshi-mo" was adopted as a new tool for disseminating child-rearing information to make the town's initiatives more conveniently accessible to child-rearing households.
## Comprehensive Support for Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Child-Rearing with a Community-Based Child-Rearing App!
The "Watarai Child-rearing App" adopted by Watarai Town is a service compatible with smartphones, tablets, and PCs. It offers a wealth of convenient features that help busy mothers and fathers, such as recording and managing health data for expectant mothers and children, managing vaccination schedules, providing advice on childbirth and child-rearing, sharing functions with family members like grandparents living in distant areas, and notifying users of local information distributed by the town.
"Dekitayo Kinenbi" (Achievement Anniversary), which can be used as a child-rearing diary, was created based on the example format of the Mother and Child Health Handbook from the Children and Families Agency. It allows users to record developmental stages, including "parent's records" in the Mother and Child Health Handbook, and child-rearing anniversaries with photos and messages, while also serving as a guide for children's growth and development.
Furthermore, even when social environmental changes occur due to infectious diseases or other factors, the app can instantly deliver important information such as cautionary notices from the local government and advice from public health nurses to those who need it via text and video. This supports the creation of an environment where childbirth and child-rearing can be carried out with peace of mind even during emergencies.
