This study introduces a Java mobile phone system to help Home Helpers in Japan reduce care report data entry time and communication costs. The new system streamlines reporting for elderly care services.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Health Informatics
  • Mobile Computing

Background:

  • Home Helpers in Japan provide essential welfare and care services to elderly individuals at home.
  • Current reporting methods require Home Helpers to manually input data into office computers after each visit, leading to inefficiencies.
  • This process incurs significant data entry time and communication costs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a mobile phone-based system to streamline the creation of care reports for Home Helpers.
  • To reduce the time spent on data entry and lower communication expenses associated with reporting.

Main Methods:

  • A Java mobile phone application was developed for each Home Helper.
  • A server computer at the central office manages and distributes the care report creation program.
