Maternal and Child Health Handbook App "Fukuoka Children's Information" [Mother and Child Mo]
In Fukuoka City, the maternal and child health handbook app "BoshiMo" is used to distribute various useful information for child-rearing, known as "Fukuoka Children's Information."
We are also working to digitize questionnaires for infant and child health checkups, and have begun introducing them at some medical institutions from August 5.

Features of "Mother and Child Mo"
Providing useful information for raising children
If you register your child's date of birth, we will send you individual push notifications with child-rearing information according to their age, such as vaccination information and infant health checkup dates.
There is also a link to the Fukuoka City website regarding child-rearing, including information on facilities.
Easy and convenient infant health checkups
Starting in August 5, we have begun digitizing the medical questionnaires for infant health checkups. We plan to gradually increase the number of medical institutions participating. For the latest information, please check the list of medical institutions on this page. Eligible individuals will receive a guide by mail with a two-dimensional code printed on it for registering for the digital medical questionnaire. (The two-dimensional code is unique to each child.)
Until now, medical examination forms had been submitted on paper, but now with the app, you can fill them out easily and save them in the middle, so you can fill them out whenever you have time. In addition, you can check the results of your medical examination at any time, which is convenient.
(please note)
This is a service that complements the traditional "paper Maternal and Child Health Handbook," and is not an electronic version of the "paper Maternal and Child Health Handbook."
You will need a paper Maternal and Child Health Handbook when undergoing health checkups or vaccinations.
