Kids Public, operator of Pediatrician Online, participated as a medical expert in Machida City's school health DX demonstration project for the Public Medical Hub (PMH-Web) integration, aimed at digitizing paper-based school health procedures.

Naoya Hashimoto, pediatrician and Kids Public representative, built realistic dummy student personas, including past medical and prescription history, to ensure clinical accuracy for testing. The trial, conducted from February to March 2026 at Fujinodai Elementary School, Tsurukawa Second Junior High School, and Machida Municipal Hospital, verified benefits like administrative burden reduction and improved data sharing.

Results showed that parents saved an average of 9 minutes and 25 seconds per document compared to handwriting, with 79.2% reporting reduced burden. School administrative work for issuing and distributing forms was reduced by over 99.9%. Kids Public will continue leveraging ICT to support child development and family healthcare.
