Boshi Techou DS with 'Akachan Massage' digitizes the 'boshi techou,' the maternal and child health handbook that pregnant women and first-time mothers carry in Japan to record medical checkups and the baby's development, adding here an interactive massage guide for newborns.
It's a clear example of how Nintendo DS, thanks to its low cost and touchscreen, also served as a platform for everyday utility applications in Japan, much closer to health software than to a traditional videogame.
