In Japan, Home Helpers are employed by hospitals, care companies or the welfare office, and are sent to homes of elderly persons to provide home welfare and care services. The care items for one month are scheduled by the care manager; however, the care items are often changed by request from the client, and the Home Helpers need to know these changes as soon as possible.

In this study, we have evaluated the data entry time, the operation of choosing the items, the legibility of buttons displayed on the LCD, and the comprehensibility of displayed care item buttons. The evaluation found the data entry to be an easy operation.
