The BabyTech community, which includes parents with children aged 0-6 and pre-parents and pre-moms who are expecting a baby and who want to actively use technology such as gadgets, apps, and appliances in their child-rearing, holds a monthly "Review with Everyone - BabyTech is More Fun" event. The event is held

This project aims to help community members share their experiences with various baby tech services with the goal of finding enjoyment in using baby tech in their child-rearing lives. Each time, members who have actually used one baby tech service will post a review of the service on a special site, and then share their thoughts and usage of the service in an online roundtable discussion. Afterwards, they will share their impressions and usage of the service in an online roundtable discussion, which will be published as a review article on BabyTech.jp.

In this sixth issue, we introduce "Pokemon Smile," an app that helps children develop the habit of brushing their teeth. Pokemon Smile is an app that makes brushing teeth a fun and stressful time for parents and children. Children can brush their teeth every day with Pokemon as if it were a game. The fact that more than 100 different Pokémon can be collected through this application will motivate children to continue brushing their teeth. This service won the BabyTech® Award Japan 2020 powered by DNP Dai Nippon Printing in the health management category.

In this article, community members who have actually used Pokémon Smile reviewed the design, operability, and degree of toothbrushing improvement (numerical rating on a 5-point scale from lowest 1 to highest 5). In addition, Tetsuya Nagata, CEO of PapaSmile, and community members participated in an online roundtable discussion (hereinafter referred to as "cross review talk") to discuss the review results and the appeal of Pokémon Smile!

[Design] Pokemon designed in original patterns are very popular among children!

reviewer review score Comment.
Daisuke Inoue 5 It is cuter than Pokemon as it is, and children love the patterns and clarity.
Sachi. 5 Kids will enjoy it. I love that they can pretend to be Pokemon when they brush their teeth!

Nagata: Thank you very much for your time today. I would like to start the cross review talk right away. First of all, regarding the "design," we asked for comments focusing on the design and the ease of viewing the screen, and all reviewers gave it a perfect score of 5. The comment "......, which is different from the picture of Pokemon as it is," probably means that the illustration of Pokemon in this application is different from the picture of the game and the animation. In fact, they are quite soft. Also, the image of a Pokemon cap on the head of a child brushing his teeth is displayed on the smartphone screen, which is also highly appreciated.
