There are more than 1,000 Doraemon gadgets, which are ideal science and technology used mainly to solve problems for specific individuals. However, today, it is more urgent to solve problems for the whole society than for individuals. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to create social problem-solving innovation by examining solutions to problems in the SDGs era through Doraemon's gadgets. The analysis targets were survey data on famous items such as the "Takecopter" and the "Anywhere Door", and we performed principal component analysis and preference regression analysis, and conjoint analysis using an L8 orthogonal array on the extracted attributes and levels. As a result, we created a proposal for an ideal Doraemon gadget that incorporates seven items obtained as elements of new gadgets that people want: "Improvement of intellectual ability," "Small tool size," "Improvement of motor function," "No time travel," "No spatial travel," "Time cost," and "Simple and fashionable." From the analysis results, a survey on the new tool we had devised showed that a high level of support was shown with 92% of respondents saying they would like to use it or that they wanted it, and 100% of respondents answered "yes" to the question, "Do you think this tool can improve the quality of life of people with visual, hearing or physical disabilities?"
