A researcher, healthy young people and a diabetic each used the finished system, and some needed refinements became clear. The largest problem was the size of the screen and the size of the characters and figures to be input. With a PDA, it was impossible to solve this problem radically. But we can support for people of advanced age and the people who eyesight is reduced because this system can be used in all models in which PHP works by models with a large screen. The advantage of portability is lost by this, but the good point of this system is that it can support a wide range of situations where it can be easily used.In addition, information was accumulated in a database, and data analysis was enabled. This analysis is made use of for evaluation in self-care.A PDA was rented to four diabetics for about 1 month, and we asked them to input information about their self-care situation. They answered that all four of them understood how to use the PDA immediately, but, because of the problem of character size, one person was not able to continue using the PDA for one month.At the end of one month's evaluation we found the following positive results from using a PDA: a consciousness of self-care was strengthened, the PDA was better than writhing things down on paper, and the probability of continued self-care also seemed better. Our evaluation showed that they wished to continue using this system and confirmed the effectiveness of self-care support using a PDA. On the other hand, it may be thought that it is difficult for people of advanced use who have never used the Internet to operate a PDA and this is an issue that requires further investigation.

一名研究人员、健康的年轻人和一名糖尿病患者各自使用了完成的系统，一些需要改进的地方变得清晰起来。最大的问题是屏幕的大小以及要输入的字符和数字的大小。有了PDA，就不可能从根本上解决这个问题。但我们可以支持高龄人群和视力减退的人，因为这个系统可以用于所有型号的PHP，在这些型号中，PHP通过大屏幕的型号工作。这就失去了可移植性的优势，但这个系统的优点是它可以支持广泛的情况，它可以很容易地使用。此外，信息积累在数据库中，并能够进行数据分析。我们将一台掌上电脑租给4名糖尿病患者约1个月，并要求他们输入有关其自我护理情况的信息。他们回答说，他们四个人都知道如何立即使用PDA，但由于字体大小的问题，有一个人一个月无法继续使用PDA。在一个月的评估结束时，我们发现使用PDA的积极结果是：自我照顾意识增强，PDA比在纸上扭动东西好，继续自我照顾的可能性似乎也更高。我们的评估表明，他们希望继续使用这一系统，并确认了使用PDA进行自我护理支持的有效性。另一方面，人们可能会认为，从未使用过互联网的高级用户很难操作PDA，这是一个需要进一步调查的问题。
