We have no doubt that the number of foreign visitors will go on increasing due partly to Tokyo's winning as the candidate of the 2020 Summer Olympic site . Medical treatment is expected to be provided appropriately to foreigners who don't speak Japanese in the same way that Japanese patients are treated. Considering the possibility that there's insufficiency of medical services due to the differences of cultures, religions, and medical system between foreign people's home countries and Japan in addition to language problems, we have developed ICT system, that is available to foreigners so that they would feel free to visit a pharmacy or a drugstore without having to worry about language difficulties. The system is designed to support foreigner who visit a pharmacy to fill a prescription written by Japanese medical institution. It is also available to people who need to buy non-prescription drug such as cold medicine. Here's the report regarding what kind of system we have developed and the result of the demonstration experiment conducted in cooperation with Japanese pharmaceutical chemist and foreigners who speak English, Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.
