SOS communication support system for children
What is kimino micata?
kimino micata is a web-based system that allows children and students to take an online questionnaire via any tablet, PC or smartphone with internet access. The questionnaire content, based on expert Japanese and Western psychology standards, covers a wide range of areas, including bullying, abuse, mental health and neglect. Designed to be accessible to children in their daily lives, we aim for it to be easier for them to voice things they may not be comfortable saying in person.
