≪App.

Background of Feature Implementation

First Ascent is conducting research and development using childcare big data collected by Papatto Childcare. They are currently planning to offer new services based on the research results, and as a preliminary step, they have redesigned the site to provide a better user experience.
In conjunction with this renewal, the company has focused on the fact that it is difficult to easily see a family doctor due to the Corona disaster, and has come to implement an online emergency check function that uses Papatte Childcare to derive a guideline for seeing a hospital based on a child's symptoms.

Online urgency check" function

By answering medically supervised questions about changes in your child's physical condition and symptoms in a chat format, you can derive guidelines for hospital visits and the level of urgency. If the urgency level is high, the system also allows you to search for a local holiday and nighttime medical service.

This function is available from the "Consultation" menu of the Papatto Childcare application. In conjunction with the addition of this function, a search function has also been added to search for the nearest municipal "childcare consultation counter" based on location information.

"If you are concerned about your child's health, you may often wonder whether you should see a doctor. A tool that allows you to easily consult with a doctor on your smartphone about whether you should see a doctor or not is becoming more necessary in this age of With Corona. We hope that this 'Online Urgency Check' can answer some of the concerns that parents feel every day."

"Since the outbreak of coronavirus infection, the number of patients visiting pediatricians has declined nationwide. As a pediatrician, I am concerned about the excessive refraining from seeing patients, including for immunizations and infant checkups. Under such circumstances, I believe that "Online Urgency Check," which displays guidelines for consultation regarding changes in a child's physical condition encountered while raising a child, will help make smart decisions regarding pediatric consultation, such as "consult when the urgency/necessity is high and "do not consult when the urgency/necessity is low. I think it will help you make smarter decisions about pediatric visits."

Main features of the updated Papattekoiku@Baby Notebook

Significant increase in childcare record functions
In addition to frequently used functions such as feeding, milk, diaper change, and sleep, childcare record icons have been added, bringing the total number of icons to 30. The childcare record icons, which were previously placed on the entire screen, are now placed at the bottom of the screen for easy one-handed operation. At the same time, the display area of the child-rearing record timeline has been expanded. The number of childcare record icons can be swiped up and down to increase the number of icons displayed, allowing for the same ease of use as before. The upper part of the record screen reflects the status of the day's "breast milk, formula," "pee," "poop," and "sleep" childcare records, making it easier to grasp the status of your child.
