| Outline of Research at the Start |
1. Organizing regular, international transdisciplinary meetings every two months and publishing the DIHAC cross-cultural meeting analysis reports in https://digital-ageing.com/surveys-and-blog/
2.Expanding the DIHAC study through new network and sharing research methodology, instrument, analysis approach for collaborators globally
3.Data analysis, integration and publishing evidence and empowerment models in Japan, ROK, Singapore and Thailand to assist and advocate policy and program for healthy ageing and digital facilitation programs in different cultures globally

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Digitally Inclusive Healthy Ageing Communities (DIHAC)is a cross-cultural Study in Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Thailand identifying paths to empower older persons' digital use, e-health literacy and participation in health promotion. From 2021, we organized virtual meetings, participated not only by academics, but also by professionals, researchers, specialists, graduate students from all around the world. The topic of each meeting expanded from the focus of digital-based policy of Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Thailand to digital trainings and ongoing research studies of health promotion, health equity, frailty, digital health, empowerment, and interventions, etc. The year 2022 marks the second year of the five-year project. A total of six international cross-cultural exchange meetings were held online. Local governments and international organizations who implemented digital empowerment programs and AI-ecosystems shared their experiences. We analyzed trans-disciplinary discussion and published as reports https://digital-ageing.com/surveys-and-blog/. Furthermore, through the citizen workshops, we identified factors empowering old person's digital use in different contexts and developed survey instruments. Pilot studies in four countries validated the instrument before full scale data collection. So far, community surveys have been completed in Korea and are ongoing in the other three countries. We published DIHAC study protocol and a scoping review of digital and health promotion policy paths to healthy ageing in Japan, Korea, Singapore, and Thailand in 2022.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The research progressed because of interest, harmony and hard work of the international multi-disciplinary team consisting of researchers from four countries.
The team based in Juntendo university included PhD students in addition to the professors. The students are very motivated by learning in the trans-disciplinary meetings. Their critical thinking and communication of thought developed with writing analysis reports. They handled literature update, translated instruments into four languages and developed survey forms.
They backed up surveys in four-countries interacting with researchers in Singapore, Korea, Thailand and Japan.
Management of collaborative research projects by co-investigators in each country is essential. They advised the team and communicated with principal investigator and worked effectively.
We believe that the project will succeed as it has been planned. The project gained popularity and is being contacted by networks and professionals from many countries.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
1. Analysis of the survey data collected in four countries
2. Qualitative inquiries in four countries: Japan, Republic of Korea, Singapore and Thailand applying cross-cultural empathy framework
3. Bimonthly transdisciplinary, cross-cultural exchange research meetings
4. Presentation of the results and publication of research articles
