Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of elderly care, and in particular, relates to a method and system for integrating and recommending elderly care activity indicators. Background Art

[0002] With the aging of the population, the demand for elderly care is growing. Currently, recommendations for elderly care activities are mostly based on a single indicator or simple rules, lacking a comprehensive consideration of multi-dimensional indicators such as the elderly's physiological, psychological, and social aspects. For example, recommending care activities based solely on the elderly's age or medical condition fails to accurately reflect individual differences, resulting in recommended care activities that are either too conservative and fail to meet the elderly's actual needs, or exceed the elderly's physical tolerance, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, existing recommendation methods lack a dynamic adjustment mechanism and cannot timely optimize recommended plans based on the elderly's real-time status and care effectiveness, affecting the quality and efficiency of elderly care.

[0003] There is an urgent need for a method and system for recommending elderly care activities that can integrate multi-dimensional indicators and dynamically adjust recommendation plans.

[0029] Data Collection Module: Deployed in key areas of elderly care facilities, this module contains multiple sensors and data input interfaces. It collects multi-dimensional data on the elderly's physiological indicators, psychological state, mobility, social interactions, and other aspects. It also adds timestamps to the collected data, performs preliminary classification, and transmits it to the data processing module via a data transmission network. Physiological indicator sensors include heart rate sensors, blood pressure sensors, and blood oxygen saturation sensors; mobility monitoring devices include gait monitoring sensors and balance monitoring devices.

[0030] Data transmission network: used to transmit data collected by the data acquisition module, including 5G, Wi-Fi or dedicated networks.

[0031] Data processing module: As the core processing unit, it receives data transmitted by the data acquisition module, performs multi-dimensional indicator fusion processing, weight calculation, and similarity analysis on the data, establishes a nursing activity recommendation model, detects data anomalies and generates adjustment instructions, and adjusts the recommendation strategy and weight parameters according to the recommendation effect and data changes.

[0034] See also Figure 2 As shown, a method for integrating and recommending elderly care activity indicators

[0035] Data Collection and Initial Classification: Various sensors and data input interfaces are deployed in key areas of elderly care facilities to collect and initially classify multi-dimensional data based on data characteristics and elderly care needs. Physiological indicators, such as heart rate and blood pressure, are collected in real time or at a scheduled frequency. Psychological data is collected daily or weekly through questionnaires or interactive tests. Activity data is collected per activity or at a scheduled frequency using devices such as gait monitoring. Social interaction data is collected weekly or monthly through social activity records. The data collection module performs preliminary classification of the collected data and transmits it to the data processing module via the data transmission network.

[0036] Data processing module processing flow

[0037] Multi-dimensional indicator fusion: After receiving data, the data processing module integrates multi-dimensional indicators. Using a weighted fusion algorithm, it comprehensively calculates physiological, psychological, mobility, and social interaction indicators. Initial weights are determined based on expert knowledge and historical data in the field of elderly care. For example, physiological indicators are weighted at 0.4, psychological indicators at 0.3, mobility indicators at 0.2, and social interaction indicators at 0.1.

[0038] Similarity analysis: A database of elderly care activities is established, which contains the characteristic indicators of various care activities and the scope of applicable populations. For each elderly person's fused data, the similarity between it and the characteristic indicators of each care activity in the database is calculated. The similarity calculation uses the cosine similarity algorithm, and the formula is: Where A is the fusion data vector of the elderly, and B is the characteristic indicator vector of nursing activities.

[0039] Recommendation model establishment and adjustment: Based on the similarity analysis results, a nursing activity recommendation model is established. When the similarity exceeds a preset threshold (e.g., 0.7), the corresponding nursing activity is included in the recommendation candidate set. Simultaneously, the parameters and weights of the recommendation model are regularly adjusted based on the elderly's nursing feedback and data changes. For example, if an elderly person's physiological indicators and psychological state improve significantly after participating in a recommended activity, the weight of the characteristic indicator corresponding to that activity is increased.

[0040] Abnormal data processing mechanism

[0041] Anomaly detection: Set an initial anomaly threshold for each data type. This threshold is determined based on statistical analysis of historical data, such as the standard deviation σ and interquartile range of historical data, which can be expressed as T = k·σ (k is a coefficient, adjusted according to data characteristics). If the deviation of a certain data from the historical mean exceeds the threshold, or the data time interval Δt exceeds the maximum allowable interval of the corresponding acquisition frequency, (f is the acquisition frequency), it is determined to be abnormal data.

[0042] Abnormal processing and data correction: For high-priority abnormal data, such as a sudden abnormal increase in heart rate, the data processing module immediately sends an early warning message to the nursing staff and suspends the recommendation of related high-risk nursing activities. For abnormal data with medium and low priority and a short missing time, an interpolation algorithm is used to complete it, such as linear interpolation, the formula is Where t1, t2, and t3 are time points, and d1, d2, and d3 are the data values ​​at the corresponding time points. For long-term abnormal data caused by reasons such as equipment failure, inference and completion are performed by combining historical data of the elderly and average data of similar populations.

[0043] Recommended decisions and adjustments

[0044] Recommendation plan generation: Based on the results of the data processing module, the recommendation decision module selects the most similar care activities from the recommended candidate set and generates a detailed recommendation plan, including activity content, intensity, and time schedule. At the same time, the individual needs and preferences of the elderly are taken into consideration. For example, if the elderly prefer outdoor activities, activities such as outdoor walking and gardening will be prioritized.

[0045] Evaluation and Adjustment of Recommendation Effectiveness: Establish a recommendation effectiveness evaluation system to assess recommended solutions based on improvements in physiological indicators, psychological well-being, and elderly satisfaction. If the evaluation results fall short of expectations, analyze the reasons and adjust the recommendation strategy and weighting parameters. For example, if a particular activity's recommendation performance is poor, reduce the weight of its corresponding characteristic indicator or remove the activity from the recommended candidate set.

[0046] The specific embodiments are as follows:

[0047] A system for integrating and recommending elderly care activity indicators includes a data acquisition module, a data transmission network, a data processing module, a recommendation decision module and a user interaction module, wherein the data acquisition module is connected to the data transmission network, the data transmission network is connected to the data processing module, the data processing module is connected to the recommendation decision module, and the recommendation decision module is connected to the user interaction module.

[0048] Data collection modules are deployed in key areas of elderly care centers, such as bedrooms, activity areas, and dining rooms. These modules are equipped with heart rate sensors, blood pressure sensors, and gait monitoring sensors. For example, in one elderly care center, heart rate and blood pressure sensors are installed in the bedrooms of residents to collect real-time physiological data. Gait monitoring carpets are laid in activity areas to collect data on the residents' mobility. Residents are asked to complete daily psychological questionnaires using devices such as tablets to collect psychological data. Caregivers also regularly record the residents' social interactions to collect data on their interactions.

[0049] After collecting data, the data acquisition module performs preliminary classification according to preset classification rules and transmits the data to the data processing module via the 5G network. After receiving the data, the data processing module integrates the multi-dimensional indicators and calculates the weighted sum of physiological indicators (weight 0.4), psychological indicators (weight 0.3), activity indicators (weight 0.2), and social interaction indicators (weight 0.1). The similarity between this integrated data and the characteristic indicators of each activity in the elderly care activity database is then calculated using the cosine similarity algorithm. Activities with a similarity greater than 0.7 are included in the recommendation candidate set.

[0050] In terms of abnormal data detection, if an elderly person's heart rate data deviates from the historical mean by more than two standard deviations, it is identified as abnormal data. The data processing module immediately sends an alert to the caregiver and suspends recommendations for high-intensity activities. For missing daily mental state data, if the missing time is short, linear interpolation is used to fill in the gaps.

[0051] The recommendation decision module selects the three most similar care activities from the candidate set and generates a recommended plan. For example, for an elderly person in good health and who enjoys socializing, it recommends outdoor walking, crafting, and group chatting, along with specific time and intensity recommendations. The elderly person and their caregiver review the recommended plans through the user interaction module and provide feedback on their performance. If the elderly person's heart rate and blood pressure remain within normal ranges and their psychological state improves after participating in the outdoor walking activity, the weight of the corresponding characteristic indicator for the outdoor activity is increased. If the elderly person has low interest in crafting and low satisfaction, the weight of this activity is reduced.
