Background and Objectives of "MUMORY" Joint Development
The fact that many women leave the workplace after giving birth is an urgent issue for Japan's economy and society. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare,Percentage of women who leave the workforce before and after the birth of their first child is 30.51 TP6TThis is a phenomenon that runs counter to the trend toward a society in which women play an active role. This is a phenomenon that runs counter to the trend toward a more active society for women, and the government has set a goal of raising the continuous employment rate of women before and after childbirth to 70% by 2025. Under these circumstances, postpartum depression is one of the serious causes that deprive women of opportunities to remain active in the workplace after childbirth.
Against this backdrop, "MUMORY" was created by combining the predictive values output by A-BANK Corporation's AI "Mental Patrol" with Noaron's postpartum care know-how. Its purpose is to comprehensively monitor the mental health of female employees from pregnancy through pregnancy and postpartum, and to take action before problems become more serious. AI detects "signs" through supervisors that could not be detected by conventional stress checks or maternity leave interviews, and links them to support by professional counselors when necessary, thereby preventing the onset of postpartum depression and enabling female employees to continue to be active in the workplace. This is aimed at preventing the onset of postpartum depression and enabling female employees to continue to play an active role in the workplace.
