Background of development and issues addressed

With one in two people said to suffer from some form of allergy, this is one of the priority areas in which Japan is making a concerted effort.

Especially serious is the increasing number of infants with severe food allergies, which in many cases are life-threatening. Basically, they rely on daily diet therapy, but even skilled pediatric allergy specialists have difficulty finding the cause and effect of food allergies and identifying allergens in their diets.

The reason for this is that daily food records (food diaries) are complicated. In addition to the burden at home, child welfare facilities such as nursery schools and educational facilities such as kindergartens, where many children are cared for, the man-hours involved are enormous, and the burden is extremely heavy in a field where human resources are in short supply.

Dishes with identification codes allow this to be easily logged in a food diary, which is extremely useful for pediatric allergy specialists to help identify and treat allergens in children.

BabyTech Editor's Comment.

For children who have a hard time eating, we started with the idea of "making eating fun," and with the help of IoT, we have a big vision that it should be possible to log children's dietary data and identify what caused their allergies.

We hope you will all look forward to FUNFAM, scheduled for release on July 7, 2019!
