〜Kids' Doctor supports sudden health problems during travel.
(Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Kodai Tabita; hereinafter "Northstar") and Nansei Rakuen Resort, Inc. (Head office: Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture; President: Yoji Takahashi; hereinafter "Nansei Rakuen Resort") signed a comprehensive collaboration agreement on April 28, 2023. The agreement will establish a system that enables online health consultations and medical examinations via a smartphone app in the event of a sudden health condition of travelers, through collaboration between "Kids Doctor," an online medical application for children operated by Northstar, and Shigira Seven Miles Resort in Miyakojima City, Okinawa Prefecture, operated by Nansei Rakuen Resort.
Sudden illness of children while traveling is one of the major difficulties in family travel, as it is unpredictable and family doctors cannot be consulted. In a user survey* conducted in August 2022 by ACTINDY, Inc. on family travel problems, as many as 30% of respondents answered "I don't know what to do if my child gets sick at the destination" among the problems related to sightseeing and fun on family trips.

The Shigira Seven Miles Resort, which will be linked to the SEGIRA Seven Miles Resort, provides resort services such as hotels, beaches, swimming pools, golf courses, hot springs, and restaurants under the theme of "Unforgettable Memorable Times.
To ensure a fun and safe stay for guests with small children, the hotel has installed corner guards and baby gates in the hotel rooms, and has created a public space dedicated to kids,
Two hotels, Alamanda Ingegah Coral Village and Hotel Breeze Bay Marina, have been selected as "Welcome Baby Inns," accommodations that are easy to use for people with small children, as certified by Miki House Child Rearing Research Institute Co.
However, there are only two nighttime emergency hospitals in Miyakojima City, where the resort is located, and they are far away from the hotel, making it difficult for travelers who do not know the area to receive medical care. This is a problem for travelers who are unfamiliar with the area, and many of them stay at the hotel when they fall ill.
In response to this, Shigira Seven Miles Resort and Kids Doctor have teamed up to launch an initiative that allows children and their families to receive health advice and online medical care through chat rooms and a nearby pharmacy when they fall ill during their stay at the resort, and to receive medication at a nearby pharmacy when necessary. This initiative will be launched to help families to receive their children's medication at a nearby pharmacy when necessary. Through this initiative, we will work together to create an environment where families can spend "unforgettable and memorable time" with their family members at the resort in peace.
The signing ceremony for this collaboration will be held at the following date and place.

About Kids Doctor.
Kids Doctor was created to provide moms and dads who are worried about their children's health with "peace of mind that they can easily consult with doctors and nurses.
The service includes "chat health consultation" by nurses during weekday evenings and holidays when hospitals are not open, "online medical care" where you can see a doctor on your smartphone, and "house calls" where a doctor can come to your home.
▼Chat Health Consultation
In accordance with MHLW guidelines, during hours when hospitals are not open, a team of nurses will provide general medical information and recommendations for consultation that do not involve medical judgment. If it is determined that an after-hours visit to a hospital is necessary, the team will not only provide information on conventional emergency hospitals, but will also provide information on online medical services, nighttime home visit services, nearby emergency hospitals, and cab dispatch to emergency hospitals.
▼Online medical care / Nighttime house call appointments
Online medical services that allow patients to talk to a doctor when their family clinic is not open, or house calls to the patient's home, can be reserved through a smartphone. These medical services are provided by doctors from affiliated medical institutions, so you can use them with peace of mind (health insurance and subsidies for children are also available).
