title: A mobile communications system for home-visit medical services: the Electronic Doctor's Bag.
abstract: In the present study, "Electronic Doctor's Bag" which is a tele-healthcare tool for home-visit medical service using the mobile communications environment has been proposed and evaluated by preliminary experiments. It was shown that its basic function was sufficiently evaluated by a few doctors and nurses but further improvement in portability and operability is required on the basis of much more opinions of medical and nursing professionals.
