Abstract(in English) Recently, “Finger Pointing and Calling”, which is the action for error prevention widely used in Japanese industry, is getting adopted in some hospitals. However, the practical training is necessary for the thorough of “Finger Pointing and Calling” in nursing procedure. To support this training, we have been developing the simple “Finger Pointing and Calling” evaluation system. This system detects “Finger Pointing and Calling” performed by the nurse who equips the wearable devices, and evaluates it, and returns a feedback by voice. In this paper, we describe the ascent of the system's evaluation results for the nurses' “Finger Pointing and Calling” from start time of the experiment to about one month later, and we show the result of the questionnaire which was carried out after this experiment.
