The term "baby tech" refers to products and services that use IoT and ICT technology to make childcare safer, more secure and more efficient.
Here in Japan, childcare facilities have begun to introduce this technology based on the evaluation that it is useful for managing children, employees, and their health conditions, and it is a field in which there will be increasing interest in the future.
Papa Smile, Inc., the operator of Japan's only baby tech media "Babytech.jp", will hold "BabyTech Award Japan 2019", the first event in Japan to award domestic baby tech products and services.
