itofoo is a charity service designed for day care centers and loving parents. It consists of two apps, one is “itofoo T” for the staff at day care, the other is “itofoo” for parents. With the beautifully designed app, parents are able to see the updates made by staff in real time, or take notes while children are at home, such as diet, body temperature or even photos. A child can have multiple adults taking care of it and they all can share the information firsthand. (You may use itofoo independently in case you aren’t using any day care service. Once you decide to go for child care, historic data will be seamlessly connected with the center, continuing all the information stored in database. itofoo also does stats assessment besides recording and sharing. For example, when the stats of the child are entered correctly, the app will calculate BMI index and give ranking among the peers according to WHO. Another example is you can jump to any date to check the child’s records for medical reference. Still, our services need a lot of field tests and improvements. We therefore pledge to listen to feedbacks, either from parents or staff, as carefully as possible and deliver more features to your hands.
