The mother and child health handbook app 'Boshimo', operated by Boshimo Co., Ltd., has been introduced in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, and will be offered as 'Boshimo Mother and Child Health Handbook App' starting July 1 (Wed). Shimabara City's basic philosophy is to 'create a town where all children and young people can grow up and live with peace of mind' and 'create a kind community where the entire region helps each other and supports parents and families.' To this end, the city is enhancing its support system to enable busy parenting families to face childcare with peace of mind and safety. 'Boshimo', which allows digital recording of paper mother and child health handbook data and is adopted by over 880 municipalities, has now been selected. The service will commence operations in line with the policy of promoting the use of electronic mother and child health handbooks and advancing mother and child health DX by the Children and Families Agency*1. 'Boshimo' is an app that easily supports vaccination schedules, health checkup result management, and regional information distribution via smartphones, tablets, and PCs. Data is stored in the cloud, serving as a backup in case of loss of the mother and child health handbook due to disasters, and also supports continued use when moving to another municipality or changing devices, allowing for worry-free usage. ◆'Boshimo' to be Offered in Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture, to Support Children's Healthy Growth Regionally!
