outline
This is an application service that supports the childcare field using Al. We have already released the following three services.
A service that predicts and notifies the timing of meals and excretions (released in January 2016)
AI service that analyzes emotions from a baby's crying voice (released in July 2018)
Message notification service to improve QOL (alert messages for nighttime crying frequency, etc.) (released in March 2019)
Development process, issues addressed
After launching the service, we began developing "AI service that analyzes emotions from baby's cries" and "message notification service that aims to improve QOL" based on the voices of users who wanted to know why their babies were crying and wanted help with postpartum depression.
In order to verify the data of "Papatto Parenting@Baby Book", we decided to build evidence through joint research with the cooperation of the National Center for Child Health and Development (NCCHD), Japan's No.1 research institute for pediatric medicine, in order to prevent erroneous verification results.
With regard to the analysis of babies' cries, there was a problem in collecting the teacher data that would be used to build the algorithm. We collected data on the date and time of crying, the reason for crying (based on the mother's subjective judgment), and the sound of crying from about 20,000 monitor users collected through the "Papatto-Childcare@Baby Book." However, the reason for crying depends on the mother's subjective judgment, and there is a possibility that the wrong reason will be registered.
In order to solve this problem, we compared the date and time of the baby's crying with the childcare records collected by the "Papatto Childcare@Baby Book" and evaluated the certainty of the "reason for crying". By doing this, we have succeeded in constructing "clean teacher data" and have succeeded in building an algorithm with a high correct answer rate.

BabyTech Editor's Comment
IT IS A PIONEER IN SUPPORTING CHILDCARE WITH AI. NOT ONLY DOES IT HELP MOTHERS WITH CHILDCARE, BUT IT ALSO SENDS MESSAGES TO USERS WHO CRY A LOT AT NIGHT, AND IN 30% OF THE FAMILIES THAT WERE NOTIFIED, THE FATHERS BECAME ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN CHILDCARE AFTER THE INFORMATION WAS SHARED. THE TOTAL NUMBER OF USERS OF THE CHILDCARE RECORD IS MORE THAN 500,000, AND IT HAS EVEN BEEN THE SUBJECT OF JOINT RESEARCH WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR CHILD HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT. THE COMPANY CONTINUES TO DELIVER HIGHLY ACCURATE INFORMATION SHARING USING AI TO HELP BOTH PARENTS DEAL WITH CHILDCARE TOGETHER.
