QuickCareRecord: Efficient Care Recording Application with Location-based Automatic View Transition and Information Complement

In Japan, the demand for nursing home is increasing due to the increase in the number of elderly people. However, the work burden for nursing staffs is very large. Specially, they spend much time in making care reports which reduces the time for doing the essential care for residents in a nursing home. Therefore, to reduce the load for staffs, the system on which staffs can create reports easily and instantly is needed. In this paper, we propose a mobile memo system that switches the view according to the location automatically and assists inputting the necessary information. Our proposed system enables care staffs to prepare the care report about caring for the elderly person quickly. Through the evaluation in the emulated environment, we show that our system succeed to reduce the time for recording by 37.9% and 58.9%, compared with the conventional system and traditional handwriting, respectively.
