DoCoMo targets home nursing businesses with 3G video phone

DoCoMo envisions the stable growth of businesses engaged in at-home nursing care due to the aging population in Japan and tries to address the emerging market’s needs by offering such devices as Kantan Video Calling terminal. The device is not supposed to be portable as it sits at home and connects people via video calls only (you can’t make just a simple voice call). For convenient operation, the terminal spots a touch screen and is shipped with remote control. The device is ideal for disabled people to connect with the outside world or for monitoring of family members or patients who need nursing care.
