Digital photo album "Omoidebako (PD-2000)

PD-2000

OmoideBako is a digital photo album that allows you to import photos and videos from smartphones and digital cameras and easily and automatically organize them. It provides the joy of looking back at photos of your children taken with multiple photographic devices, such as mom's smartphone and dad's smartphone or digital camera, as precious memories with those close to you on the TV in the living room or with your smartphone at hand.
Equipped with a large-capacity hard disk that can store up to 1 million contents (or until it runs out of capacity), you can comfortably keep more of your family's ever-growing number of photos and videos. By connecting this product to a network using a Wi-Fi router, Wi-Fi repeater, or LAN cable, you can enjoy importing and viewing photos from your smartphone or PC using the free OmoideBako application. Importing and playback of 4K/HEVC videos from smartphones is also supported.
The "Album Group" function allows users to group albums with intuitive operations, and the "Sort Mode" allows users to easily sort imported photos, making it more convenient to store and organize photos from smartphones and digital cameras. An application that can be easily operated from a smartphone or PC is also available, allowing customers to choose the method that best suits their lifestyle.
In November 2024, the new device will feature a power-saving standby mode, background importing that does not interfere with viewing photos and videos, and support for the latest iPhone 16 series, among other updates.

This product will be adopted as a product for childcare support projects by local governments, and will also be used in the "Childcare IT Product Award Contest", a contest that awards outstanding childcare IT products.BabyTech® Awardshas been awarded for two consecutive years from 2023 to 2024.

PiyoLog" childcare record application

Since its release in 2017, it has been downloaded more than 4 million times and can record various items related to baby care, such as feedings, diaper changes, height and weight. It is also characterized as a "shareable childcare management app," with the ability to share data with partners and others. By sharing the amount of breastfeeding and weight recorded with this product through the application, you can know the status of breastfeeding in real time while you are away from your baby for work or outings. This system allows family members to share the burden and anxiety related to breastfeeding, which tends to be biased toward the mother, easing the sense of isolation felt by mothers after childbirth and supporting the family's team approach to child rearing.
The company won the grand prize in the health management category of the BabyTech® Award Japan 2020 powered by DNP Dai Nippon Printing.

Baby Scale "nometa (BB-115L)" with nursing volume function

(Headquarters: Itabashi-ku, Tokyo; President: Chisato Tanida), a comprehensive health company, manufactures and sells a baby scale with a nursing volume function. The data of "feeding volume" and "weight" are transmitted to a smartphone via Bluetooth® communication, allowing the user to record and check the feeding volume, frequency, and time without any hassle. You can easily grasp your baby's feeding rhythm, drinking habits, and growth status. The app is linked to "PiyoLog" and the recorded data can be shared with your partner through the app, making it useful for family "team child-rearing" (i.e., a team approach to child-rearing centered on the husband and wife, rather than a one-person approach).
