Abstract

An increasingly aging society and higher prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases are significant problems in advanced countries. There are social requirements of integrated services for medical care, welfare, and healthcare. In this paper, we propose the concept of a Wellness Support System (WSS), which is an integrated information system that can be used to prevent the solitary death of elderly people, provide daily life support services, and improve the health of those at risk for lifestyle-related diseases. The WSS enables ease of use and a helpful information environment using a newly developed type of IP telephone for elderly people. This paper introduces the concept and describes the development of a prototype WSS.
