Background of the provision of baby head shape measurements.
A great many families suffer from distortion of the baby's head, and in some cases, especially for pathological deformities, early treatment is required. However, in Japan, the perception that "head distortion = disease" is not yet widespread enough, not only among people living in Japan but also in the medical field.
This application was developed to raise awareness of the new common sense of "early consultation with a medical specialist for head distortion. The application features easy operation that anyone can use, reliability through full supervision by a medical specialist, and visibility that shows the degree of head distortion at a glance. In addition, the application is designed to provide a flow line that leads to consultation with a specialist and is also useful during medical examinations.
Until now, the family's sense of "it might be distorted somehow, or I might be too concerned about it," had a large influence on the decision to consult a specialist, raising the hurdle to consulting a specialist. We are aiming for a world in which consulting a specialist about head distortion becomes a common practice.
