Development of medical communication support system "health life passport".
Today, the number of foreign residents in Japan is increasingdue to globalization. However, Japan is behind other advanced countries in accepting oversea patients. Japan has to improve medical institutions' readiness to accept foreign patients, and nurture medical interpreters. To address these issues, we developed a language support application for smart phones. Anyone can download it freely.
