Abstract
According to the report about inconvenient for foreigners, there are a lot of problems when communicating with medical staff in the medical service. Considering the spread of digital personal assistants and mobile phone, we proposed a communication support system using these devices for foreigners, which would be able to be easily used in medical service. In this paper, we developed the communication support system for X-ray examination, especially. From the experimental results, we concluded the effectiveness of our system because necessary time for X-ray examination was shortened when using our system.
