Audio, text, movies, multilingual translation information are distributed via Raku-Raku-phone Basic 3 (NTT DOCOMO), KantanKeitai (au), smartphones (iPhone, Android), etc.

Furthermore, it has been introduced into the Hospital Medical Management System and the Pharmacy Receipt Computer System through the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's Medical Dept. 5 section manager notifications. Future ties with Government Welfare services are presumed to develop.
