The Tokyo Metropolitan Government will launch a new feature during this fiscal year that sends support information on child-rearing, nursing care and other matters directly to residents by push notification through its official smartphone app, Tokyo App. It will deliver information tailored to users' addresses and age groups, helping prevent them from missing available support or forgetting to apply. The government has also outlined a future vision for completing administrative procedures through one-stop and once-only processes.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to launch a new feature during this fiscal year that sends push notifications about child-rearing and nursing-care support information through its official Tokyo App. The aim is to deliver information tailored to each user and reduce the number of people who miss information about available support.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Digital Services, the system will deliver support information and local event details individually based on the address and age group registered in the app. By providing necessary information in advance, it aims to eliminate forgotten applications.
The government plans to develop a once-only system that will allow all administrative procedures, including applications for support received through the app, to be completed through a one-stop process. In response to a general question in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly calling for use of the Tokyo App, a Tokyo Metropolitan Government official reportedly said this would help realise a metropolitan government through which residents receive the information they need directly.
