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.
