Kawanishi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture) began providing its medical-grade live streaming service, 'Babyeets,' which broadcasts newborn babies to their families in real time, at Kyoto Saiseikai Hospital on April 28, 2026. This marks the first implementation of the service in a medical institution in the Kinki region.
Background: Reducing the Anxiety of Separation In recent years, due to increasing cesarean section rates and management in NICUs (Neonatal Intensive Care Units) and GCUs (Neonatal Recovery Units), it is not uncommon for mothers and infants to be separated immediately after birth. This often leads to concerns, such as "I feel anxious not knowing how my baby is doing while we are apart" or "I want my family to see the baby right away." Kyoto Saiseikai Hospital introduced Babyeets as a new initiative to support connections with families, aiming to create an environment where parents can start their birth and childcare journey with peace of mind.
Babyeets Service Overview 'Babyeets' is a service that utilizes medical-grade cloud cameras to broadcast newborns to their families safely and in real time.
Key Features - Real-time streaming: Families can watch simultaneously via smartphones or PCs. - High security: Video data is stored and distributed according to strict standards designed for medical facilities. - Memorial movie production: Professional staff edit photos and videos taken around the time of birth to provide a unique "one-of-a-kind story." - Minimal staff burden: Designed for operation with minimal impact on medical staff workloads.
Future Outlook Going forward, the company plans to expand Babyeets to medical institutions nationwide. By providing "opportunities for families to connect from the start," the company aims to help prevent feelings of isolation in childcare and contribute to increasing the value-added services offered by medical institutions.
