Abstract
We work on studying and developing support applications for aged and handicapped people. First, we developed a new communication assistant application for autistic children, ”Let’s Talk!”. We especially focused on an easy and simple manipulation. We also developed a to-do application for kids, “Hanamaru” and a scheduler application for elderly people, “Anshin”. We used ICT infrastructure, especially computer network systems such as SNS (Twitter, Facebook), e-mail, Skype, Line, and a message board on the web site, to collect the requests and opinions of users, and tried to feed it back to improve the applications.
