從早期的宗教與醫療合一演變為宗教與醫療分家，宗教與醫療在人的生活中一直都是兩門重要的課題。現今醫學已臻成熟，宗教也達到穩定發展，人們又開始嘗試在醫療當中加入靈性關懷，以期望病人在身體與心靈都能夠得到療癒。本文以基督教信仰為基礎，觀察基督教的代禱關懷行動，找出住院的病人接受關懷的方式與運用不同的媒介傳達關懷。
Pray for you代禱系統是依據使用者需求採用參與觀察與問卷調查確定系統流程而產生的服務設計。特色為：（1）透過科技介入，可以讓病人隨時得到宗教關懷（2）在人與人建立互動關係後，可以讓關懷延續（3）透過朋友與朋友之間傳遞代禱訊息，間接的建立代禱關係連結（4）代禱者可以透過系統明確地傳達代禱訊息。
Pray for you代禱系統並不是要取代現有的代禱進行方式，但是他確實提供了一個新型態的網絡讓代禱者之間可以有更不同的互動模式與關懷方式。

Religion had been come with medical cares before divided into two. Religion and medical care has become two big issues for the past or nowadays. Medical care has progressed quite mature and religion has reached well-development, so people attempt to combine religion and medical care. It gives hope for hospital patients to cure both physically and mentally. This thesis is based on Christianity for its special activity: intercessory pray. This thesis tries to find the acceptable caring ways and uses the media to deliver our caring and prayer.
Pray for you is a service design according to the participant observation and the questionnaire. There are its characteristics: （1） Technology helps the patients receive religious care in anytime. （2） After interacting between the volunteers and the patient, the device are designed to go on.（3）Through delivering caring prayers between volunteers and their friends, it indirectly builds linkage of prayer and caring.（4）The prayers can precisely be delivered to the patients.
Pray for you system is not built to replace the way of intercessory pray, but to provide a new mode of network in order to create different interaction and diverse ways of caring.
