Rugby World Cup 2019 has held in Japan, and Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic will hold in 2020. It is no exaggeration to say that Japan has already become one of the biggest sport countries in the world. There is an important thing named “Welfare” for the athlete in such as the big sport countries. Welfare is covered all areas in terms of sport medicine where are from the compensation of insurance to the prevention of injury and disease. This paper shows two examples. One is about utilizing ICT in the sport medicine of elite sports. Another one is about the association between Paralympic athlete and medical engineering. Those are good practical examples for the athlete. This way of thinking and the concept in terms of “Welfare” might be spread out to not only elite level but also community level after the big sport event.
