Maintaining the health and quality of life of an aging society is of social and economic importance. It is emphasized that having a chance to live a longer life compared to the old days will not be meaningful without increasing the quality of life and that the health expectancy is much more important than the life expectancy.

Using technology products to remind them of 97.9% of their drug time, the participants think that technology makes daily life easier.
