Abstract
Social participation is essential for health promotion, but it requires that participation is designed considering each individual’s health status, capabilities, and desires, which vary greatly. In particular, a person with a disability may require a detailed individualized plan. In this study, we present a system for supporting the rehabilitation of patients through promoting their community participation. The system has a function for using a smartphone to create a community map based on the codes designed by the World Health Organization - International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (WHO-ICF) [1]. It also has a function that recommends walking routes that take into consideration the patients’ physical function and how they wish to participate in their communities. This study describes our practice at Nagata, Kobe, Japan and assesses the effectiveness of this system.
