After scientifically analyzing the disaster medical relief training conducted by Professor Shoichi Ota of Tokyo Medical University and others, research on the formulation of guidelines that lead to disaster mitigation has been completed, and the final results have been compiled.A manual on how to set up a relief station immediately after a disaster has been created so that anyone can easily perform rescue training, and the training template is packaged.

 According to Tokyo Medical University, Professor Ota and his colleagues have created two applications for disaster medicine, "Disaster Medicine Touch" for adults and "Disaster Medicine Quest" for elementary and junior high school students, and a video collection that teaches how to provide first aid. ..

 Disaster Medical Touch is an app-based textbook for the general public to protect themselves and those around them in the event of a disaster and to learn the knowledge needed when volunteering for medical care.Taking advantage of the features of multimedia, videos, games, quizzes, puzzles, etc. are used to make it easier to learn knowledge and techniques.
Disaster medical quests can be enjoyed by elementary and junior high school students by downloading markers, printing them, and recognizing them on a smartphone or tablet to display disaster knowledge and problems related to disaster medical care.

 The video collection is placed on a stretcher and explains how to carry it on a stretcher, how to stop bleeding by direct compression, how to make a folding sling, and how to maintain the body temperature of the victim.Free to download apps and watch videos.

 This research was adopted in the 2013 project of "Creating a safe and secure city / region connected by the community" of the Social Technology Research and Development Center of the Japan Science and Technology Agency, and has been under development by Tokyo Medical University and others for three years.
