Abstract
It is necessary to communicate with foreign workers when implementing health checkups in companies. Therefore, commissioned by our client companies, we provides health checkups and health management services in English for their workers. We create a special website to provide information about the checkup program as well as to receive health checkup reservations from them. The people on the lists provided by the companies are sent an email in both Japanese and English pointing them to our website, where they can choose either language and select the date and time when they wish to undergo the health checkup.In what concerns the health inquiry sheets and the contents of the health checkup, services are smoothly delivered to them through the introduction of panel displays and the use of Japanese-English translation manuals.In this report, we present the contents of our services and also highlight some challenges ahead of us regarding the English support in health management services. We intend to continue developing this system by using smart devices for multilingual communications in health inquiries and explanations.
