Background of Famicare App Development

The Famicare application was developed to solve the following issues related to childcare for children with disabilities

Eliminate the "can't help it."

Raising a child with disabilities involves a wide range of matters to be addressed, and there are some concerns and issues that are not covered by public welfare or the medical care you have access to. The FamiCare application eliminates the "helpless" situation when the already accessible community and support system cannot solve the problem, such as "not being able to play well," "not having clothes that are convenient to wear," or "toilet training methods tailored to the child's needs.

Eliminating the "Can't Connect" Principle

 Families may not be open about raising a child with a disability, and it is highly challenging to meet families raising the same child with a disability offline within their own community. In addition, there are differences in disease, disability, severity, and living environment, making it difficult to exchange matched information. The FamiCare application emphasizes a design that connects online and with appropriate information, aiming to "connect" everyone.

Eliminate "those who know, know."

 The support that can be utilized and the offices that can be accessed vary greatly between families that can form communities well and those that cannot, between families with named diseases and those that do not, and there are also significant differences in childcare and living environments. In addition, information is often exchanged among parents, and this knowledge is not accumulated. With the Famicare application, we aim to create a state where information is accessible to everyone, regardless of personal circumstances or abilities. 

Eliminate "does not apply."

Many families of children with disabilities do not have an identified illness or have no diagnosis due to age. Especially in such cases, it is difficult to receive institutional and environmental support, and information tends to be limited. The Famicare application can be used regardless of the child's age, diagnosis, or disability type, allowing users to find clues to solving issues from other cases.

In the future, the Famicare application will beCreate a knowledge database of childcare for children with disabilitiesWe have begun to work with local governments, private companies, and organizations to identify quantitatively and qualitatively the needs and issues of people raising children with disabilities, which are considered difficult to see in society, and to promote projects to resolve these issues.

Although each person has his or her own disease or disability, there are few products and services that match his or her needs due to the characteristics caused by the disease or disability, and it is easy to feel inconvenienced. Famicare solves these inconveniences through online and offline solutions, starting with the IT domain. Our goal is to become a new channel in this area by connecting many companies, organizations, and individuals with Famicare.
