Breast Pump Breastfeeding Assist Electric ProPersonal/ ProPersonal+/ Pigeon Switch

<選評>
Various suction rhythms are available according to the condition of the breasts and the user's preference, and I feel that this is a reliable device that allows for painless and easy breastfeeding. The size and functions are suitable for Japanese breasts. The app's breastfeeding and feeding management functions are also useful. We can expect more automation of recording.

It is an app that draws out children's interest and makes them aware of the many professions that various industries participate in. It also has a high degree of perfection as a social tour-style plaything. In addition, as an advertising product, it can be marketed to parents through their children, which is attractive as a sustainable business mechanism.

first prize

hugsafety(hugmo inc.)

<選評>
The fact that it is cordless is good because caregivers don't have to worry about getting their feet caught during nap time. Similarly, the device can be installed under a familiar mat so that sleeping children do not feel uncomfortable with the device. The specifications of the device and application, such as the noon sleep record linked to the application, show the consideration given to various elements.
