Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a care support system that supports a caregiver in caring for a care recipient. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the number of elderly people has increased rapidly due to the declining birthrate and aging population, and care for elderly people with physical disabilities and dementia has attracted attention. In nursing homes and medical facilities, caregivers provide care for the elderly in various situations, such as getting up and moving around, eating, grooming, excretion, bathing and changing clothes, and communication, but this places a heavy physical and mental burden on the caregivers, and in order to provide this care smoothly and without pain to the care recipients, auxiliary assistance care is extremely important.

[0003] This assistance care is the way of interacting with and interacting with the elderly person when providing care, and examples of this include making eye contact with the elderly person, matching their eating pace, and explaining the meal menu when providing care for them while they are eating. Also, when providing care for bathing and changing clothes, examples of this include matching their pace, explaining the purpose of bathing and changing clothes and obtaining consent, and observing the condition of the skin. Furthermore, when providing care for communication, examples of this include creating a fun atmosphere, listening attentively, and making eye contact.

[0004] However, in actual nursing care situations, there are multiple nursing care situations such as getting up and moving around, eating, grooming, excretion, bathing and changing clothes, and communication, as mentioned above, and each nursing care situation requires a lot of assistance care. In addition, the content of assistance care varies depending on the attributes of the care recipient (the level of care required, the degree of cognitive impairment, the severity of daily life, the degree of mental symptoms, age, sex, personality, underlying disease, the presence or absence of complications, the presence or absence of chronic pain, the amount of medication, etc.). Furthermore, the content of assistance care varies not only depending on the care recipient, but also on the attributes of the caregiver, the time of care, and the place of care. For this reason, it is not easy for experienced caregivers, let alone inexperienced caregivers, to provide optimal assistance care when caring for elderly people.

[0005] In this regard, various systems have been proposed to support nursing care for the elderly. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an information processing device used by a caregiver in charge of nursing care for a care recipient to assist in the implementation of nursing care for the care recipient, the device comprising: an input information acquisition means for acquiring information on the health condition of the care recipient input by the caregiver as input information; a resource plan formulation means for calculating the type of service and the amount of intervention in a support plan to be applied to the care recipient based on the input information; and a prognosis prediction means for predicting and calculating a future life image based on the support plan in which the type of service and the amount of each intervention have been calculated.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-46474 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, all of the conventional systems, including the one in Patent Document 1, support the care of the elderly by caregivers, but do not focus on the auxiliary care provided during care, and there is still a problem that optimal care cannot be provided at the site of care. Note that such problems occur not only for the elderly, but also for those who require care, such as hospitalized patients and people with disabilities.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned technical background, and aims to provide a care support system that enables a caregiver to provide optimal assistance care to a care recipient when caring for the care recipient, and ultimately supports the caregiver in providing efficient care for the care recipient. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a care support system that supports a caregiver in caring for a care recipient, and is characterized by comprising an input unit that accepts input of information regarding the attributes of the care recipient as a first parameter, information regarding auxiliary assistance care provided when caring for the care recipient as a second parameter, and information regarding an evaluation of the care recipient's condition after assistance care is provided as a third parameter, a memory unit that stores the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient received by the input unit in association with each other, an analysis unit that analyzes the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient that are stored in association with each other in the memory unit, a selection unit that selects one or more assistance cares that have a high evaluation of the care recipient's condition after assistance care is provided based on the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient analyzed by the analysis unit, and an output unit that outputs information regarding the one or more assistance cares selected by the selection unit.

[0010] This outputs information about assistance care that is highly rated for the condition of the care recipient, so that when a caregiver provides care to a specific care recipient, the caregiver can provide the most appropriate assistance care to the care recipient.

[0011] The analysis unit may also analyze the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the plurality of care recipients stored in the storage unit in association with each other, and the selection unit may select one or more care actions that have a high evaluation of the state of the care recipient after the implementation of the care action according to the attribute of the predetermined care recipient based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the plurality of care recipients analyzed by the analysis unit when the input unit receives the input of information on the attribute of the predetermined care recipient. According to this, the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the plurality of care recipients are accumulated, so that the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient can be analyzed in a high degree. Moreover, since one or more care actions that have a high evaluation of the state of the predetermined care recipient are output according to the attribute of the predetermined care recipient, the optimal care action can be implemented even for a care recipient who uses the system for the first time or a care recipient who uses the system infrequently.

[0012] The analysis unit may generate a learning model by machine learning the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the plurality of care recipients stored in the storage unit in association with each other, and the selection unit may select one or more care actions that highly evaluate the state of the care recipient after the implementation of the care action according to the attributes of the care recipient based on the learning model regarding the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient generated by the analysis unit when the input unit receives the input of information regarding the attributes of the care recipient. In this way, the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient can be analyzed more highly by machine learning, and the more the system is used, the more accurate the information regarding the care action can be improved.

[0013] The first parameter may include at least one of the following attributes: the name, age, sex, level of need for care, degree of cognitive impairment, degree of severity of daily life, degree of mental symptoms, personality, causative disease, presence or absence of complications, presence or absence of chronic pain, and amount of medicine of the care recipient. This allows the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient to be analyzed while taking into account attributes such as the age and sex of the care recipient, so that information regarding more optimal care for the care recipient can be output.

[0014] The second parameters may be classified into at least one or more categories of care situations, including getting up and moving around, eating, grooming, excretion, bathing and changing clothes, and communication, and at least one parameter may be set for each category of care situations, and the selection unit may select one or more types of care that are highly evaluated for the condition of the care recipient after the implementation of the care for each category of care situations. This makes it possible to output information related to the optimal care for the care recipient for each care situation.

[0015] The third parameter may include information on the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient before the implementation of the assistance care, which allows the analysis of the change in the condition of the care recipient before and after the implementation of the assistance care, in addition to the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient after the implementation of the assistance care.

[0016] The third parameter may be classified in stages from high to low evaluation of the condition of the care recipient, which makes it easier for the caregiver to input the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient and makes it easier for the system to analyze the relationship between the third parameter and other parameters.

[0017] The input unit may further receive a fourth parameter including at least one of information on the caregiver, information on the time of care, information on the place of care, and information on the scene of care, the storage unit stores the first, second, third, and fourth parameters of the care recipients received by the input unit in association with each other, the analysis unit analyzes the relationship between the first, second, third, and fourth parameters of the care recipients stored in the storage unit in association with each other, and the selection unit may select one or more types of care that are highly evaluated for the state of the care recipient after the implementation of the care care based on the relationship between the first, second, third, and fourth parameters of the care recipients analyzed by the analysis unit. This allows the relationship between the parameters to be analyzed while taking into account information on the caregiver, information on the time of care, information on the place of care, or information on the scene of care as the fourth parameter, so that information on the care care that is more optimal for the care recipient can be output. In addition, in the case of information about a caregiver, the fourth parameter preferably includes at least one attribute of the caregiver's age, years of caregiving experience, job satisfaction, sense of burden of caregiving, subjective understanding of the person being cared for, personality, possibility of burnout, and physical and mental health.

[0018] The system may further include a counting unit that counts an evaluation of the condition of the care recipient for each care recipient to whom care assistance was provided based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the multiple care recipients analyzed by the analysis unit, and the output unit may output the counted result of the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient counted for each care recipient by the counting unit. In this way, the counted result of the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient counted for each care recipient is output, so that information regarding the optimal care provided for each care recipient can be easily grasped.

[0019] The system may further include a counting unit that counts an evaluation of the condition of the care recipient for each caregiver who provided care to the care recipient based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient analyzed by the analysis unit, and the output unit may output the counted result of the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient counted for each caregiver by the counting unit. In this way, the counted result of the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient counted for each caregiver is output, so that information regarding the optimal care provided by each caregiver can be easily grasped.

[0020] The selection unit may select one or more types of assistance care that are evaluated as low for the condition of the care recipient after the implementation of the assistance care based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient analyzed by the analysis unit. This makes it possible to grasp the assistance care that is evaluated as low for the condition of the care recipient after the implementation of the assistance care, and to use the information for future care support.

[0021] In addition, a server device and a plurality of information terminal devices may be connected via a network, the server device comprising the memory unit, the analysis unit and the selection unit, and the information terminal devices comprising the input unit and the output unit.

[0022] In addition, the computer program of the present invention is characterized in that it causes a computer to function as an input unit that accepts input of information regarding the attributes of the care recipient as a first parameter, information regarding auxiliary assistance care provided when caring for the care recipient as a second parameter, and information regarding an evaluation of the care recipient's condition after assistance care is provided as a third parameter, a memory unit that stores the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient received by the input unit in association with each other, an analysis unit that analyzes the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient that are stored in association with each other in the memory unit, a selection unit that selects one or more assistance cares that have a high evaluation of the care recipient's condition after assistance care is provided based on the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient analyzed by the analysis unit, and an output unit that outputs information regarding the one or more assistance cares selected by the selection unit.

[0023] In addition, the computer program of the present invention is characterized in that it causes a computer to function as a memory unit that stores information regarding the attributes of the care recipient as a first parameter, information regarding auxiliary assistance care provided when caring for the care recipient as a second parameter, and information regarding an evaluation of the care recipient's condition after assistance care is provided as a third parameter, in association with each other; an analysis unit that analyzes the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient that are stored in association with each other in the memory unit; and a selection unit that selects one or more assistance cares that result in a high evaluation of the care recipient's condition after assistance care is provided, based on the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of the care recipient analyzed by the analysis unit. Effect of the Invention

[0024] According to the present invention, information regarding assistance care for a care recipient whose condition is highly rated is output, so that when a caregiver cares for a specific care recipient, the caregiver can provide the most appropriate assistance care to the care recipient.

[0025] As a result, care recipients, such as elderly people with dementia, can expect a reduction in BPSD (Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia), improvement in ADL (Activities of Daily Living), and improvement in QOL (Quality of Life). Caregivers, such as medical professionals and caregivers, can expect a reduction in the burden of caregiving, increased job satisfaction, and the realization of EBC (evidence based care). Furthermore, for the long-term care insurance system, it is expected that this will be reflected in care plans, enable people to continue living in the community, reduce the severity of their condition, and reduce long-term care costs.

[0027] <First embodiment> Next, a first embodiment of a care support system according to the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as the present system) will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. FIG.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes a plurality of information terminal devices 1 of a caregiver U1 who cares for a care recipient U2, and a server device 2, and each information terminal device 1 and the server device 2 are connected via a network.

[0029] The information terminal device 1 is an information terminal device 1 such as a tablet terminal or a smartphone terminal carried by the caregiver U1, and includes an input unit 11 that accepts input of various information, an output unit 12 that outputs various information, a communication unit 13 that communicates various information with the server device 2, and a control unit 14 that controls each unit, as shown in Fig. 2. The input unit 11 and the output unit 12 function via the display screen of the information terminal device 1.

[0030] The input unit 11 receives inputs of a first parameter, a second parameter, and a third parameter related to the care recipient U2 through an input operation by the caregiver U1.

[0031] The first parameter is information about the attributes of the care recipient U2, and in this embodiment includes information about the name, age, and sex for identifying the care recipient U2. The first parameter may include attributes of the care recipient U2, such as the level of care required, the degree of cognitive impairment, the severity of daily life, the degree of mental symptoms, personality, underlying disease, the presence or absence of complications, the presence or absence of chronic pain, and the amount of medicine.

[0032] The second parameter is information on the auxiliary care provided when caring for the care recipient U2 (how the care recipient U2 was interacted with and treated during care). As shown in Fig. 4, the second parameter is classified into six categories of care scenes: getting up and moving, eating, grooming, excretion, bathing and changing clothes, and communication, and multiple types of care (GP1, GP2, GP3, etc.) are set for each category of care scenes. In this embodiment, 11 items of assistance care (GP1 to GP11) are set in the care scene (getting up and moving around), 16 items of assistance care (GP1 to GP16) in the care scene (eating), 10 items of assistance care (GP1 to GP10) in the care scene (grooming), 11 items of assistance care (GP1 to GP11) in the care scene (excretion), 11 items of assistance care (GP1 to GP11) in the care scene (bathing and changing clothes), and 13 items of assistance care (GP1 to GP13) in the care scene (communication), but other care scenes and assistance care may also be set.

[0033] The third parameter is information regarding the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 before and after the implementation of assistance care. As shown in the left screen of Figure 5, this third parameter is classified in stages from high to low evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2, such as (1) extremely poor condition, (2) poor condition, (3) neither good nor bad, (4) good condition, and (5) extremely good condition. In addition, the third parameter is input separately for before and after the implementation of assistance care for each care situation in order to grasp the change in condition before and after the implementation of assistance care.

[0034] The method by which the caregiver U1 inputs the second and third parameters is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in the left screen of FIG. 5, the caregiver U1 can select, by tapping, as the second parameter, the assistance care (GP2, 10, 11) provided to the care recipient U2 in a specific care situation (getting up and down and transferring), and also select, by tapping, as the third parameter, the evaluation of the condition before and after the assistance care (before the assistance care is provided: (3) Neither good nor bad → after the assistance care is provided: (2) Good condition), and input the information thus input is displayed as shown in the right screen of FIG. 5.

[0035] The output unit 12 outputs screens and various information used in this system, and in particular outputs information (GP) about one or more types of care to be performed for a specific care recipient U2 transmitted from the server device 2. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 6, the output unit 12 outputs information about care to be performed for a specific care recipient U2 (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D, Mr. E, etc.) for each category of care situations, namely, getting up and moving around, eating, grooming, excretion, bathing and changing clothes, and communication.

[0036] The method of outputting information regarding assistance care is not particularly limited, but for example, as shown in FIG. 6, information regarding assistance care (GP) is output in a form in which the name of the care recipient U2 is popped out in each specified care scene (when getting up and down / transferring / bathing / meal time).

[0037] The communication unit 13 transmits the first parameter, second parameter, third parameter, and other information received through the input unit 11 to the server device 2 via the network, and receives information regarding assistance and various screens transmitted from the server device 2 via the network.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 3, the server device 2 includes a master information storage unit 21 that stores master information used in the system, a parameter information storage unit 22 that stores information regarding parameters, an analysis unit 23 that analyzes the relationships between each parameter, a selection unit 24 that selects assistance care for one or more care recipients U2, a communication unit 25 that communicates various information with each information terminal device 1, and a control unit 26 that controls each unit.

[0039] 7, the master information storage unit 21 stores basic master information such as templates of various screens to be output to the information terminal device 1, categories of care situations such as getting up and moving, eating, grooming, excretion, bathing and changing clothes, and communication, and information on a plurality of care assistances in each care situation. This information is registered in advance in this system by the system administrator.

[0040] The parameter information storage unit 22 stores the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter received from the information terminal device 1 by the communication unit 25 in association with each other. For example, if the first parameter is information on the attributes of the care recipient U2 (Mr. A) (male in his 70s), the second parameter is information on the assistance care (1. matching the pace) in the care setting (meal), and the third parameter is information on the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 before and after the assistance care is provided (before the assistance care is provided: (3) neither → after the assistance care is provided: (4) good condition), the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter are stored in association with each other.

[0041] The analysis unit 23 analyzes the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient U2, which are stored in the parameter information storage unit 22 in association with each other. Regarding the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter, if the first parameter is expanded to many attributes such as the care recipient U2's level of need for care, the degree of cognitive impairment, the severity of daily life, the degree of mental symptoms, personality, causative disease, the presence or absence of complications, the presence or absence of chronic pain, and the amount of medicine, in addition to the name, age, and sex, the relationship between the first parameter and the second parameter and the third parameter is highly analyzed. Note that the method of analyzing the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient U2 by the analysis unit 23 is not particularly limited, and specific examples will be described in Examples 1 to 4 below.

[0042] The selection unit 24 selects one or more types of assistance care that are highly evaluated for the condition of the care recipient U2 after the implementation of the assistance care, based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipients U2 analyzed by the analysis unit 23. Note that the method of selecting the assistance care by the selection unit 24 is not particularly limited, and specific examples will be described later in Examples 1 to 4.

[0043] The communication unit 25 transmits various predetermined screens to the information terminal device 1 via the network, receives the first parameter, the second parameter and the third parameter transmitted from the information terminal device 1 via the network, and transmits information regarding assistance care selected by the selection unit 24 to the information terminal device 1 via the network.

[0044] Next, the operation of this system will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG.

[0045] First, in the information terminal device 1, the input unit 11 accepts input of a first parameter, a second parameter, and a third parameter related to the care recipient U2 through an input operation by the caregiver U1 (S1).

[0046] Then, the communication unit 13 transmits the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter related to the care recipient U2, which have been input by the input unit 11, to the server device 2 via the network (S2).

[0047] Next, in the server device 2, the communication unit 25 receives the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter related to the care recipient U2 transmitted from each information terminal device 1 via the network (S3).

[0048] Then, the parameter information storage unit 22 stores the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter related to the care recipient U2 received by the communication unit 25 in association with each other (S4).

[0049] Then, the analysis unit 23 analyzes the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient U2, which are stored in the parameter information storage unit 22 in association with each other (S5).

[0050] Thereafter, in the certain information terminal device 1, the input unit 11 accepts input of information about a predetermined care recipient U2 through an input operation by the caregiver U1 (S6).

[0051] Then, the communication unit 13 transmits the information about the care recipient U2, which has been input by the input unit 11, to the server device 2 via the network (S7).

[0052] Next, in the server device 2, the communication unit 25 receives information about the care recipient U2 transmitted from the certain information terminal device 1 via the network (S8).

[0053] Then, the selection unit 24 selects one or more assistance cares that highly evaluate the condition of the care recipient U2 after the assistance care is provided, based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient U2 analyzed by the analysis unit 23 (S9).

[0054] Then, the communication unit 25 transmits information about one or more pieces of care selected by the selection unit 24 to the information terminal device 1 via the network (S10).

[0055] Next, in the certain information terminal device 1, the communication unit 13 receives one or more pieces of information related to the care assistance transmitted from the server device 2 via the network (S11).

[0056] Then, the output unit 12 outputs information relating to one or more caregivers received by the communication unit 13 (S12).

[0057] Thereafter, when providing care to the specific care recipient U2, the caregiver U1 provides supplementary care to the specific care recipient U2 based on the information on the assistance care output by the output unit 12. After providing supplementary care to the specific care recipient U2, the caregiver U1 inputs the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter on the care recipient U2 to the information terminal device 1, and therefore, a large amount of information on the care recipients U2 is accumulated in the server device 2, making it possible to improve the accuracy of the information on the assistance care in this system.

[0058] In this embodiment, each function is configured separately between the server device 2 and the information terminal device 1, but each function may be configured in the information terminal device 1, or some of the functions of the server device 2 (e.g., the selection unit 24) may be configured in the information terminal device 1.

[0059] In addition, the input unit 11 of the information terminal device 1 accepts an input of an evaluation of the state of the care recipient U2 before and after the implementation of the assistance care as the third parameter, but may accept an input of only an evaluation of the state of the care recipient U2 after the implementation of the assistance care. In this case, the analysis unit 23 of the server device 2 analyzes the relationship between each parameter using the evaluation of the state of the care recipient U2 after the implementation of the assistance care as the third parameter.

[0060] In addition, the analysis unit 23 of the server device 2 analyzes the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter and third parameter of the care recipient U2 before the input unit 11 accepts input from a specified caregiver U1, but the analysis unit 23 may analyze the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter and third parameter of the care recipient U2 after the input unit 11 accepts input from a specified caregiver U1.

[0061] Furthermore, each care scene and each assistance care is not limited to those described above, and other care scenes and assistance care may be set, or no care scene may be set and only assistance care may be set.

[0062] In addition, the selection unit 24 may select one or more assistance cares that result in a low evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 after the assistance care is provided, based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the care recipient U2 analyzed by the analysis unit 23.

[0063] <Second embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the present system will be described.

[0064] In this embodiment, in addition to the first, second, and third parameters, a fourth parameter is used to analyze the relationship between the parameters. The fourth parameter includes information about the caregiver U1, information about the care period, and information about the care location, as described below.

[0065] <Information about caregiver U1> These include the age of the caregiver U1, years of experience in caregiving (occupation), job satisfaction, sense of burden of caregiving, subjective understanding of the care recipient U2 (dementia, elderly, etc.), personality, possibility of burnout, mental and physical health, etc. It is thought that the attributes of the caregiver U1 may affect the caregiving (way of interacting).

[0066] <Information regarding nursing care period> Effective care (ways of interacting with patients) may differ depending on the time of day when people feel best or worst, as many people have a stronger desire to go home in the evening, some people feel sleepy and are less alert in the morning, some people feel very sleepy even during the day, and others have a natural lifestyle rhythm.

[0067] <Information about where to provide assistance> The sense of security or fear may change depending on the surrounding environment (whether it is a private room, a dining room (day room), whether there are others around, one-on-one, etc.), noise, brightness, etc., and it is therefore possible that effective nursing care (way of interaction) may also change.

[0068] To specifically explain the configuration of this system, the input unit 11 receives input of a first parameter, a second parameter, a third parameter, and a fourth parameter.

[0069] Moreover, the parameter information storage unit 22 stores the first parameter, the second parameter, the third parameter, and the fourth parameter of the plurality of care recipients U2 inputted by the input unit 11 in association with each other.

[0070] Moreover, the analysis unit 23 analyzes the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, the third parameter, and the fourth parameter of the plurality of care recipients U2 stored in the parameter information storage unit 22 in association with each other.

[0071] When the input unit 11 receives information regarding a specific care recipient U2, the selection unit 24 selects one or more assistance care methods that highly evaluate the condition of the care recipient U2 after the assistance care is provided, based on the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, third parameter and fourth parameter of the care recipient U2 analyzed by the analysis unit 23.

[0072] <Third embodiment> Next, a third embodiment of the present system will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0073] 9, the present embodiment includes a tabulation unit 27 that tabulates an evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 for each caregiver U1 and / or care recipient U2 based on the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of the multiple care recipients U2 analyzed by the analysis unit 23. The tabulation result of the evaluation of the condition of the caregiver U1 and / or the care recipient U2 is transmitted from the server device 2 to the information terminal device 1 of the caregiver U1 via the network, and output by the output unit 12 of the information terminal device 1 of the caregiver U1.

[0074] The method of tabulating the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 is not particularly limited, but for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the change in the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 (Mr. A) before and after each care care is performed (very bad change, bad change, unchanged, good change, very good change) is tabulated for each care recipient U2 (Mr. A) and output in a first graph 101. Also, when a change in the evaluation of a certain condition of the care recipient U2 (for example, very good change) is selected in the first graph 101, the change in the evaluation of the certain condition is tabulated for each care scenario (eating, getting up and moving, grooming, excretion, bathing and changing clothes, communication) and output in a second graph 102. Furthermore, when a certain care scenario (for example, communication) is selected in the second graph 102, the change in the condition of the certain care scenario is tabulated for each care scenario (GP1, GP2, ...) and output in a third graph 103.

[0075] In addition, the method of compiling the evaluation of the condition of the caregiver U1 is not particularly limited, but for example, as shown in Figure 11, the change in the evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 (very bad change, bad change, unchanged, good change, very good change) before and after the provision of each assistance care is compiled for each caregiver U1 (Mr. X, Mr. Y, Mr. Z) and output in a fourth graph 104. EXAMPLES

[0076] Next, an embodiment of the analysis of this system will be described with reference to FIG.

[0077] <Example 1> In this embodiment, the relationship between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. A), the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A), and the third parameter (assessment of Mr. A's condition after assistance care is provided) of a single care recipient U2 (for example, Mr. A) is analyzed, and assistance care that results in a high assessment of the condition of the single care recipient U2 (Mr. A) is output.

[0078] Specifically, the analysis unit 23 analyzes the relationship between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. A), the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A) and the third parameter (assessment of Mr. A's condition after the assistance care is provided) of a single care recipient U2 (Mr. A), and sets an evaluation of the condition of the single care recipient U2 (Mr. A) after the assistance care is provided for each care situation, as shown in Figure 12(a).

[0079] The numerical values ​​shown in the evaluation table in Figure 12(a) correspond to the evaluation of the condition of one of the care recipients U2 (Mr. A) after the implementation of assistance care ((1) extremely poor condition, (2) poor condition, (3) neither good nor bad, (4) good condition, (5) extremely good condition).

[0080] The selection unit 24 selects one or more assistance cares that have a high evaluation of the condition of a single care recipient U2 (Mr. A) (for example, assistance cares rated 4 or 5) based on the relationship (evaluation table shown in Figure 12(a)) between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. A), the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A) and the third parameter (assessment of Mr. A's condition after assistance care is provided) of a single care recipient U2 (Mr. A) analyzed by the analysis unit 23.

[0081] <Example 2> In this embodiment, the relationship between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.) of multiple care recipients U2 (e.g., Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.), the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.) and the third parameter (assessment of the condition of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc. after assistance care is provided) is analyzed, and assistance care that results in a high assessment of the condition of a specified caregiver U1 (e.g., Mr. A) is output.

[0082] Specifically, the analysis unit 23 analyzes the relationship between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.) of multiple care recipients U2 (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.), the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.) and the third parameter (assessment of the condition of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc. after the assistance care is provided) and sets an evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 after the assistance care is provided for each care situation depending on the attributes of the care recipient U2 (e.g. gender and age: male in his 70s), as shown in Figure 12(b).

[0083] The values ​​shown in the evaluation table in Figure 12(b) are average values ​​corresponding to the evaluation of the condition of each care recipient U2 of a certain attribute (male in his 70s) ((1) extremely poor condition, (2) poor condition, (3) neither good nor bad, (4) good condition, (5) extremely good condition).

[0084] When the input unit 11 accepts input of information regarding the attributes of a specified care recipient U2 (Mr. A: male in his 70s), the selection unit 24 selects one or more assistance cares that have a high evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 (for example, assistance cares rated 4 or 5) based on the relationship (evaluation table shown in Figure 12 (b)) between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. A1, Mr. A2, Mr. A3, etc.) of each care recipient U2 who has the same attributes (male in his 70s) as the specified care recipient U2 (Mr. A) analyzed by the analysis unit 23, the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A1, Mr. A2, Mr. A3, etc.) and the third parameter (evaluation of the condition of Mr. A1, Mr. A2, Mr. A3, etc. after the assistance care is provided).

[0085] In the above-mentioned first and second examples, the evaluation of the condition of the cared-for person U2 after the provision of assistance ((1) extremely poor condition, (2) poor condition, (3) neither good nor bad, (4) good condition, (5) extremely good condition) was used to evaluate the condition of the cared-for person U2. However, it is also possible to use the change in the evaluation of the condition of the cared-for person U2 before and after the provision of assistance, and to preferentially select assistance care that results in a higher evaluation of the condition of the cared-for person U2 before and after the provision of assistance care.

[0086] In addition, the relationship between each parameter of Example 1 and Example 2 may be analyzed together. Specifically, when selecting one or more types of care that are highly evaluated for the condition of a specific care recipient U2 (Mr. A) according to the attributes of the specific care recipient U2 (Mr. A) as in Example 2, if the specific care recipient U2 (Mr. A) personally evaluates the type of care that is low as in Example 1, the type of care that is not selected may be selected. For example, even if a general male care recipient in his 70s highly evaluates the condition of the care care (making eye contact) in a care scene (meal), if the care recipient (Mr. A) personally evaluates the condition of the care care (making eye contact), the type of care that is not selected may be selected.

[0087] <Example 3> In this embodiment, weighting for assistance care is used to analyze the relationship between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.) of the care recipient U2 (e.g., Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.), the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.) and the third parameter (assessment of the condition of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc. after assistance care is provided), and assistance care that results in a high assessment of the condition of the care recipient U2 is output.

[0088] Specifically, the analysis unit 23 analyzes the relationship between a first parameter (attributes of A1, A2, A3, etc.) of multiple care recipients U2 (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.), a second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc.), and a third parameter (assessment of the condition of Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, etc. after assistance care is provided) and sets a weighting for each assistance care in each care situation according to the attributes of the care recipient U2, as shown in Figure 12(c), for example.

[0089] In setting the weighting, a high numerical value (e.g., 100) is set for assistance care in which the condition of many of the care recipients U2 is highly rated, and a low numerical value (e.g., 20) is set for assistance care in which the condition of many of the care recipients U2 is poorly rated. In this embodiment, weighting is set for each attribute (gender) of the care recipient U2.

[0090] When the input unit 11 inputs information regarding the attributes of a specified care recipient U2 (Mr. B: male), the selection unit 24 selects one or more assistance cares (for example, assistance cares weighted at 100) that have a high evaluation of the condition of the care recipient U2 based on the relationship (evaluation table shown in Figure 12 (c)) between the first parameter (attributes of Mr. B1, Mr. B2, Mr. B3...), the second parameter (each assistance care provided to Mr. B1, Mr. B2, Mr. B3...) and the third parameter (evaluation of the condition of Mr. B1, Mr. B2, Mr. B3... after the assistance care is provided) of each care recipient U2 who has the same attributes (male) as the specified care recipient U2 (Mr. B) analyzed by the analysis unit 23.

[0091] <Example 4> In this embodiment, machine learning using AI (Artificial Intelligence) is used to analyze the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter of multiple (large number of) care recipients U2, and assistance care that results in a high evaluation of the condition of a specified caregiver U1 is output.

[0092] Specifically, the analysis unit 23 generates a learning model by machine learning the relationship between the first parameter, the second parameter, and the third parameter of a plurality (large number) of care recipients U2 (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D, Mr. E, etc.). At this time, the analysis unit 23 may generate a learning model weighted for caregiving by machine learning.

[0093] When the input unit 11 inputs information regarding the attributes of a specific care recipient U2 (Mr. A), the selection unit 24 selects one or more assistance care methods that highly evaluate the condition of the care recipient U2 (Mr. A) in accordance with the attributes of the specific care recipient U2 (Mr. A) based on a learning model regarding the relationship between the first parameter, second parameter and third parameter of multiple (large number of) care recipients U2 (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D, Mr. E, etc.) generated by the analysis unit 23.

[0094] In addition, when using AI, by performing analysis using the fourth parameter according to the second embodiment in addition to the first parameter, second parameter, and third parameter, or by increasing the attributes of the second parameter and performing analysis, it is possible to output more optimal assistance care for the care recipient U2.

[0095] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. Various modifications and variations can be made to the illustrated embodiment within the same scope as the present invention or within an equivalent scope. [Explanation of symbols]
