We developed a "Facial rock-paper-scissors'' program that incorporates facial expressions and vocalizations of swallowing training into facial rock-paper-scissors using orofacial exercises, and which has psychological effects that improve mood. It is a rehabilitation program to maintain and improve swallowing and cognitive functions. In this research, we have developed an app of the program that can be easily used on a tablet terminal. The app contains two types of sessions in the program: one for practice to experience facial expressions and voicing, and another for practical use. The practical use session has two different stages: the opponent and the “Facial rock-paper-scissors” expressions are fixed in the basic stage, whereas in the enhanced stage, there are three opponents, each with their own facial expressions. We have also created a test app that allows users to record their own facial expressions with a tablet's camera and check them on the screen.
