[0076] Among them, the food weight refers to the weight of each food category eaten by the person in the daily diet image. For example, the weight of the tomatoes eaten by a certain person in the daily diet image. The side view refers to the top view of each plate of dish, and the top view refers to the side view of each plate of dish. The height of the whole plate of food refers to the height between the top of the dish in the plate and the bottom of the plate in the side view.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, the analyzing the dining person's actions in the daily diet image includes: obtaining the mouth target, hand target, tableware target, and food target in the daily diet image; querying the tableware moment when the hand target touches the tableware target; querying the plate moment when the tableware target touches the food target; querying the mouth moment when the tableware target touches the mouth target; and taking the dining person corresponding to the mouth target and the dining action as the dining person's actions in the daily diet image within the tableware moment to the plate moment and the plate moment to the mouth moment.

[0078] Among them, the actions of the diner include the action information of the user from picking up chopsticks to eating within a period of time. The dining action only includes the actions from picking up chopsticks to eating within a period of time and does not include the diner. The target food refers to the food category consumed by the user. For example, when the tableware target contacts the mouth target at the mouth moment, the tableware target is, for example, chopsticks, and the tomato clamped on the chopsticks.

[0079] S3. Analyze the daily diet status of the cancer patient through the food category, the food weight, the actions of the diner, and the target food. Use the daily diet status to determine the nutritional change items of the initial nutritional status, and use the nutritional change items to identify the nutritional risk status of the cancer patient.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present invention, the analysis of the daily diet status of the cancer patient through the food category, the food weight, the actions of the diner, and the target food includes: According to the food weight, use the following formula to calculate the food consumption amount of the food category:

[0081]

[0082] Among them, Δx i represents the food consumption amount, represents the food weight of the i-th food category at the end of the meal, represents the food weight of the i-th food category at the start of the meal, and i represents the serial number of the food category;

[0083] Count the dining frequency of the actions of the diner regarding the target food; According to the dining frequency, use the following formula to allocate the weight of the diner corresponding to the actions of the diner:

[0084]

[0085] Among them, α ij represents the weight of the j-th diner, β ij represents the dining frequency of the j-th diner for the i-th food category, β im represents the total dining frequency of m diners for the i-th food category, j represents the serial number of the diner, and i represents the serial number of the food category;

[0086] According to the weight, use the following formula to calculate the dining weight of the cancer patient:

[0087] Δx ij =α ij Δx i , j = δ

[0088] Among them, Δxij represents the dining weight, δ represents the serial number of the cancer patient, and α ij represents the weight weight of the j-th diner, and Δx i represents the food consumption amount, j represents the serial number of the diner, and i represents the serial number of the food category;

[0089] Take the dining weight of the cancer patient for the food category as the daily diet condition.

[0090] Among them, the dining frequency refers to the number of times the diner uses the tableware to contact the target food, and the dining frequency can be determined by the plate moment when the aforementioned tableware targets to contact the food target. The daily diet condition refers to the dining weight of each food category eaten by each diner.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, the nutritional change item for determining the initial nutritional condition using the daily diet condition includes: obtaining the food category and dining weight in the daily diet condition; based on the food category and the dining weight, using the following formula to calculate the first nutritional change item of the first nutrient in the initial nutritional condition:

[0092] y k1 = y k0 - y kΔt + ρ ik Δx ij , j = δ

[0093] Among them, y k1 represents the first nutritional change item, y k0 represents the initial weight of the k-th first nutrient, and y kΔt represents the weight of the k-th first nutrient decomposed within the time period of Δt, and ρ ik represents the ratio between the weight of the nutrient and the weight of the food category, and Δx ij represents the dining weight, δ represents the serial number of the cancer patient, j represents the serial number of the diner, and i represents the serial number of the food category;

[0094] Use the following formula to calculate the second nutritional change item of the second nutrient in the initial nutritional condition:

[0095] z k'1 = z k'0 - z k'Δt

[0096] Among them, z k′1 represents the second nutritional change item, and z k′0 represents the initial weight of the k'-th second nutrient, and z k′Δt represents the weight of the k'-th second nutrient decomposed within the time period of Δt;

[0097] Take the first nutritional change item and the second nutritional change item as the nutritional change items of the initial nutritional status.

[0098] Among them, the first nutritional component refers to the components contained in the food eaten by the patient, and the second nutritional component refers to the components not contained in the detected food during the time period of identifying the food category. For example, if the food eaten during the lunch dining period does not contain the second nutritional component, then since the patient has not supplemented the second nutritional component, the second nutritional component will be gradually digested in the patient's body. The speed at which the patient digests the nutritional component, that is, y kΔt , z k′Δt It also needs to be obtained based on historical data statistics. For example, during a historical period, it is statistically determined how long it takes for the patient to digest a certain weight of a certain nutritional component, so as to obtain y kΔt , z k′Δt , similarly, ρ ik represents the proportion of the food eaten by the user that is converted into the corresponding first nutritional component. During a historical period, it is statistically determined how much weight of food the patient eats and how much weight of the first nutritional component can be converted.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present invention, the use of the nutritional change item to identify the nutritional risk status of the cancer patient includes: calculating the hidden layer vector of the nutritional change item using the following formula:

[0100] g = σ e (W(y k1 , z [[ID=2,5]] k′1 ) + b)

[0101] Among them, g represents the hidden layer vector, σ e represents the activation function of the encoder, W represents the weight of the encoder, b represents the bias of the encoder, y k1 represents the first nutritional change item, and z k′1 represents the second nutritional change item;

[0102] Decode and reconstruct the hidden layer vector using the following formula to obtain a decoded vector:

[0103] h = σ d (W′g + b)

[0104] Among them, h represents the decoded vector, σ d represents the activation function of the decoder, W represents the weight of the decoder, b represents the bias of the decoder, and g represents the hidden layer vector;

[0105] Query the nutritional risk status corresponding to the decoded vector.

[0106] Among them, the decoding vector refers to the probability value of the risk level, and the risk level is the data at the output end set when training the encoder and decoder. The risk level refers to the level of evaluating whether a patient is malnourished, such as healthy, good, low risk, high risk, etc.

[0107] S4. According to the nutritional change items and the nutritional risk status, determine the target monitoring device of the cancer patient from the non-image devices, monitor the nutritional status of the cancer patient during the period through the target monitoring device, and analyze the nutritional risk level corresponding to the nutritional status during the period.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present invention, the determining the target monitoring device of the cancer patient from the non-image devices according to the nutritional change items and the nutritional risk status includes: judging whether there is a risk in the nutritional risk status; when there is a risk in the nutritional risk status, extracting the abnormal nutritional items in the nutritional change items; identifying the target monitoring device corresponding to the abnormal nutritional items from the non-image devices.

[0109] Among them, the abnormal nutritional item refers to the nutritional component whose value exceeds the normal range and the value of the nutritional component. It should be noted that when the value of the abnormal nutritional item is relatively low and the impact of the category of the abnormal nutritional item on malnutrition is relatively low, even if there are abnormal nutritional items in the nutritional change items, the risk level can be healthy or good. The target monitoring device refers to the device specifically for monitoring the abnormal nutritional item. For example, if the abnormal nutritional item is substance A, the target monitoring device is the device specifically for monitoring substance A. Further, the nutritional status during the period refers to the numerical change of the abnormal nutritional item monitored by the target monitoring device in the subsequent time period, and the subsequent time period refers to the time period after the moment when the target monitoring device corresponding to the abnormal nutritional item is identified. The nutritional risk level is similar to the aforementioned nutritional risk status. Similarly, the process of analyzing the nutritional risk level corresponding to the nutritional status during the period is similar to the principle of using the nutritional change items to identify the nutritional risk status of the cancer patient, and will not be elaborated here.

[0110] S5. Construct a nutritional risk sequence of the nutritional risk level, analyze the nutritional risk trend of the cancer patient by using the nutritional risk sequence, and determine the nutritional risk monitoring result of the cancer patient based on the nutritional risk trend.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, the constructing the nutritional risk sequence of the nutritional risk level includes: querying the level analysis time of the nutritional risk level; arranging the nutritional risk levels in ascending order of the level analysis time to obtain a nutritional risk sequence.

[0112] Among them, the grading analysis moment refers to the moment when the nutrition risk grade is output by the aforementioned encoder and decoder. There are multiple grading analysis moments, that is, within a period of time, the encoder and decoder will output the corresponding nutrition risk grade based on the nutritional components monitored at each moment during this period.

[0113] In an embodiment of the present invention, the use of the nutrition risk sequence to analyze the nutrition risk trend of the cancer patient includes: determining a trend analysis model of the nutrition risk sequence; using a bidirectional long short-term memory network in the trend analysis model to analyze the first sequence feature of the nutrition risk sequence; using a long short-term memory network in the trend analysis model to analyze the second sequence feature of the first sequence feature; using a time attention mechanism in the trend analysis model to analyze the attention weight of the second sequence feature; using a weighted summation layer in the trend analysis model to perform weighted summation between the second sequence feature and the attention weight to obtain a weighted summation result; and analyzing the nutrition risk trend of the cancer patient through the weighted summation result.

[0114] Among them, the time attention mechanism is a technique for processing time series data in deep learning, which can assign different importance or attention to the information at different time steps.

[0115] Optionally, the process of analyzing the nutrition risk trend of the cancer patient through the weighted summation result refers to calculating the probability value corresponding to the weighted summation result using an activation function, querying the nutrition risk grade corresponding to the maximum probability value, and the trend analysis model will output the nutrition risk grade at each moment with a fixed time interval in the next period. The nutrition risk grades in these consecutive periods are used as the nutrition risk trend. Further, the process of determining the nutrition risk monitoring result of the cancer patient based on the nutrition risk trend is as follows: for example, when the nutrition risk grade at the k + 1 moment is better than that at the k moment, it indicates that the malnutrition state of the patient has improved. At this time, the target monitoring device is turned off, and the aforementioned S2 step is continued, and the improvement of malnutrition is used as the nutrition risk monitoring result. When the nutrition risk grade at the k + 1 moment is worse than that at the k moment, it indicates that the malnutrition state of the patient is gradually getting serious, and it is necessary to continue to use the target monitoring device to monitor the physical condition of the patient, and the poor performance of the nutrition risk grade and the device monitoring result are used as the nutrition risk monitoring result.

[0116] Compared with the problems described in the background art, in the embodiment of the present invention, the daily diet images of the cancer patient are obtained by using the image device, so as to analyze the food content consumed by the patient from the daily diet images in the subsequent process. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the nutritional risk status of the cancer patient is identified by using the nutritional change items, so as to preliminarily analyze whether the consumed food improves the malnutrition status of the patient based on the food content and food categories. If the malnutrition status of the patient is improved, there is no need to use other non-image devices except the image device to monitor the patient's body, which can greatly reduce the usage rate of other non-image devices, devices that are difficult to wear and cannot be worn, etc., thereby improving the simplicity of the patient's nutritional risk assessment.
