Proposal of Advance Care Planning Support System

摘要

In terminal care, patients may not receive the treatment they want because they cannot express their will. We found that the "Advance Directive" and the "Living Will" are useful for determining the treatment in terminal care. However, patients being unable to respond to changes due to self-choices and share these self-choices when using a conventional format are some problems that remain. We propose an advance care planning support system that enhances the possibility of performing self-choices, collecting data about end-of-life care, confirming self-choices, and sharing the information with others using social networks.
