DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as appropriate. However, more detailed explanation than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed explanation of already well-known matters or duplicate explanation of substantially the same configuration may be omitted. This is to avoid the following explanation becoming unnecessarily redundant and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art.

[0015] It should be noted that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0016] [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The information processing system 1 generates information related to a care plan, and first, an overview of the care plan will be described.

[0017] (Care plan overview) A care plan is, for example, information indicating a plan for using care services, and is generated for each care recipient. Examples of care services include nursing care insurance services and welfare services for people with disabilities. Care plans include, but are not limited to, home service plans, individual service plans, facility service plans, functional training service plans, and the like, and also include, for example, small-scale multifunctional home nursing care plans and nursing care prevention plans. The contents of the care plan are written on a standardized planning form. Specific examples of care plans will be described later.

[0018] A care plan is created based on the results of an assessment of the care recipient's overall life. An assessment is a process in which information about the care recipient is collected, evaluated, and analyzed to clarify issues (needs) that need to be resolved. When conducting an assessment, information is collected from the care recipient's family, such as their daily life cycle and surrounding environment, and an overall picture of the care recipient is evaluated and analyzed.

[0019] A care recipient is, for example, a person who is the recipient of various care services, such as a care recipient. A care recipient may be a person who receives care using nursing care insurance services, or a person who receives care, assistance, functional training, etc. using welfare services for people with disabilities, but is not limited to these. Note that care recipients are not limited to those who are currently using care services, but also include those who may receive care services in the future, such as those who are considering using care services, and are not particularly limited.

[0020] (Overview of Information Processing System 1) The information processing system 1 acquires a prompt P including assessment information A relating to the result of an assessment of a care recipient, and generates care plan related information CR relating to a care plan C for the care recipient based on the acquired prompt P.

[0021] (Configuration of Information Processing System 1) Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of an information processing system 1. In Fig. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a server 10 and a user terminal 20. The server 10 is an example of an information processing device in the present invention. The server 10 and the user terminal 20 are communicatively connected via a network N1. The network N1 connecting the server 10 and the user terminal 20 is a wired LAN (Local Area Network), a wireless LAN, the Internet, a public line network, a mobile data communication network, or a combination of these.

[0022] (Configuration of user terminal 20) 1, the user terminal 20 includes a storage unit 21 and a control unit 22. The control unit 22 acquires various information (input information) input via an input device by a user of the information processing system 1. Input by the user via the input device may be simply described as being input by the user.

[0023] Moreover, the control unit 22 presents to the user various information (output information) transmitted from the server 10 in response to the transmission of information input by the user, by displaying it on the display device. Presenting to the user by displaying it on the display device may be simply described as presenting to the user. Moreover, the storage unit 21 stores information transmitted and received between the server 10.

[0024] (User of Information Processing System 1) A user of the information processing system 1 may be, for example, a person who creates a care plan, and may be called, for example, a care manager, a care manager, a chief care manager, a life support coordinator, a community exchange coordinator, a social worker, a social worker, a life counselor, a resident counselor, a care worker, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist, a speech-language-hearing therapist, a chiropractor, a functional training instructor, a licensed practical nurse, a nurse, a registered dietitian, a pharmacist, a doctor, a plan creator, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0025] (Server 10 configuration) The server 10 includes a storage unit 11, a control unit 12, and a large-scale language model M.

[0026] (Storage unit 11) The storage unit 11 stores assessment information A, a prompt template PT, a prompt P, care plan related information CR, a care plan template CT, and a care plan C.

[0027] (Control unit 12) The control unit 12 includes an assessment information acquisition unit 121 , a prompt acquisition unit 122 , a prompt generation unit 123 , a care plan related information generation unit 124 , and a care plan generation unit 125 .

[0028] (Assessment Information A) The assessment information A is information about the results of an assessment, and is, for example, information collected by a person in charge of creating a care plan, such as a care manager, conducting an assessment of a care recipient. The assessment information A is input to the information processing system 1 by a user of the information processing system 1 via the user terminal 20. The assessment information A may be stored in the memory unit 11 by the operation of the information processing system 1.

[0029] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of assessment information A. As shown in Fig. 2, assessment information A includes, for example, basic information such as name, age, sex, address, telephone number, as well as living situation, insured person information such as nursing care insurance, etc.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 2, the assessment information A includes ICF stage information of the care recipient. In the example shown in Fig. 2, the assessment information A includes ICF stage information related to walking, eating, excretion, etc.

[0031] ICF stage information is information that stages the mental and physical functions of the care recipient based on the functional classification of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) by the World Health Organization (WHO). For example, ICF staging evaluates the basic movements, communication functions, toileting movements, bathing movements, and other items of the care recipient on a five-point scale.

[0032] ICF stage information may include information on basic movements as well as walking / mobility, cognitive function (orientation and communication), mental activity, eating (swallowing function, eating movements, and eating assistance), excretory movements, bathing movements, grooming (oral care and putting on and taking off clothes), and social participation (leisure and social interaction).

[0033] As an example of evaluation using the ICF stages, for basic movements, a five-stage evaluation may be used, such that maintaining an upright position on both feet is "Stage 5," not maintaining an upright position but transferring to a seated position is "Stage 4," not transferring to a seated position but maintaining a seated position (on the edge of a chair) is "Stage 3," not maintaining a seated position (on the edge of a chair) but turning over is "Stage 2," and not turning over is "Stage 1."

[0034] ICF stage information can be said to be an index for evaluating the daily living functions of the care recipient based on the international functional classification, and by using assessment information A including ICF stage information in creating a care plan, it is possible to create an appropriate care plan for the care recipient.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 2, the assessment information A includes vitality index information. In the example shown in Fig. 2, vitality index information related to eating, excretion, waking up, etc. is included.

[0036] The Vitality Index evaluates daily life behavior in five categories: waking up, communicating, eating, excretion, and activity, and objectively measures the motivation of elderly people in rehabilitation and nursing care situations. Each category consists of three options, each scored from 0 to 2 points, with a maximum score of 10 points.

[0037] As an example of an evaluation using the vitality index, for example, when it comes to waking up, three options may be used: if the person always wakes up at the same time, then a score of "2." If the person cannot wake up unless woken up, then a score of "1." If the person never wakes up on their own, then a score of "0."

[0038] Vitality index information can be said to be an index for evaluating the motivation of the care recipient for activities in daily life, and by using assessment information A including vitality index information in creating a care plan, an appropriate care plan can be created for the care recipient.

[0039] Regarding assessment, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has issued a notification entitled "Presentation of the format of nursing care service plans and standard items for issue analysis," which indicates that information will be collected on the standard items for issue analysis (a total of 23 items, including 9 items related to basic information and 14 items related to issue analysis (assessment)) and issues will be analyzed.

[0040] Although not shown in Figure 2, with regard to the above-mentioned standard items of problem analysis, assessment information A may include, as basic information, information such as the status of the nursing care services currently being used, the degree of independence in daily living for elderly people with disabilities, the degree of independence in daily living for elderly people with dementia, the main complaint (the wishes and requests of the nursing care service user and their family, etc.), certification information, and the reasons for the problem analysis (assessment).

[0041] Assessment information A may also include information on health status, ADLs (activities of daily living), IADLs (instrumental activities of daily living), cognition, communication skills, social interactions, urination and defecation, bedsores and skin problems, oral hygiene, dietary intake, problem behaviors, caregiving ability, living environment, and special circumstances (such as caregiver abuse or circumstances related to end-of-life care).

[0042] The assessment information A may also include information indicating a request. The information indicating a request may include a request of the care recipient or a request of a care service worker. The care service worker may be a caregiver who provides care or a trainer who provides functional training, but is not limited to these.

[0043] The assessment information A may also include information indicating the grade of the care recipient. The grade is information that is certified for each care recipient to determine the range of care services that can be received. Such a grade may be, but is not limited to, the degree of care required in nursing care insurance services or the disability grade in disability welfare services.

[0044] (Prompt P) The prompt P is a character string for instructing the server 10 to generate care plan related information CR, which will be described later. In other words, the server 10 generates the care plan related information CR according to the contents of the prompt P.

[0045] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the prompt P. Note that the example shown in Fig. 3 is merely for explaining an image of the prompt P, and the prompt P is not limited to the content shown in Fig. 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the prompt P may be created by the user, or may be generated in the server 10 using the above-mentioned assessment information A and a prompt template PT, which is template data for the prompt P.

[0047] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a prompt template PT. The prompt generation process by the prompt generation unit 123 will be described later. Note that the example shown in Fig. 4 is merely for explaining an image of the prompt template PT, and the prompt template PT is not limited to the content shown in Fig. 4. The prompt template PT is stored in the memory unit 11, for example, by a user (such as a care plan creator) of the information processing system 1.

[0048] (Example of a care plan) FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a care plan. FIG. 5 shows an example of the creation of Table 1 of a facility service plan as an example of a care plan. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing another example of a care plan. FIG. 6 shows an example of the creation of Table 2 of a facility service plan as an example of a care plan. Note that the examples shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 are merely illustrative of one example of a care plan, and the care plan is not limited to the contents shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0049] In addition, the care plan may be generated using the care plan related information CR and a care plan template CT, which is information representing a template of the care plan, as described later. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the care plan template CT. Fig. 7 shows an example of a template of Table 1 of a facility service plan as an example of the care plan template CT.

[0050] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing another example of the care plan template CT. In FIG. 8, the template CT of the second table of the facility service plan is shown as an example of the care plan template CT. Note that the examples shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are merely for explaining an example of the care plan template CT, and the care plan template CT is not limited to the contents shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. The care plan template CT is stored in the storage unit 11 by, for example, a user (care plan creator, etc.) of the information processing system 1. That is, the care plan template CT is stored in the storage unit 11 as data. Alternatively, the care plan template CT may be configured to be input to the information processing system 1 by scanning, for example, a paper copy stored. In this case, the scanned care plan template CT may be configured to be converted from image data into a file format that allows data to be input into blanks, for example, manually by a user or automatically by the information processing system 1, and is not particularly limited.

[0051] As for the facility service plan as an example of a care plan, for example, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has provided examples of seven types of formats (prescribed formats) from Table 1 to Table 7. That is, the care plan is not limited to Table 1 and Table 2. Table 1 is the facility service plan (1), and the main contents are basic information of the care recipient, wishes, and a comprehensive assistance policy. Table 2 is the facility service plan (2), and the main contents are the issues to be solved (needs), goals, specific assistance content and period, etc. Table 3 is a weekly service plan, and the main contents are the activities of the care recipient for one week and the nursing and support schedule, etc. Table 4 is a daily schedule plan, and the main contents are the flow of the day (daily schedule), etc. Table 5 is the main points of the service provider meeting, and the main contents are the main points of the discussions and conclusions at the service provider meeting, etc. Table 6 is the contents of the inquiry (request) to the service provider, and the main contents are the answers obtained in response to requests for opinions on the contents of the facility service plan and the care situation, etc. Table 7 shows the progress of care in the facility, and the main contents are records of consultations and assistance from users and their families, contacts and adjustments with staff, and monitoring results.

[0052] As an example of a care plan, we have explained the facility service plan prepared for care recipients who reside in various care facilities, but care plans also include home service plans prepared for care recipients who live at home. As with the facility service plan, there are seven types of home service plans, from Table 1 to Table 7. Furthermore, a care plan may be a preventive care service plan prepared for care recipients who have been certified as needing assistance level 1 or 2 to use preventive care services or preventive care and life support services.

[0053] (Care plan related information CR) In this embodiment, care plan related information CR is information regarding the care plan C, and includes, for example, some of the information that constitutes the final care plan C, and information that is intermediately generated to create the final care plan C.

[0054] In addition, the care plan related information CR may be, as one aspect, the final care plan C itself expressed in a predetermined format, and is not particularly limited. Also, the care plan related information CR is generated, for example, as a document. In addition, the display form of the care plan related information CR as a text is not particularly limited, and may be a general text divided into paragraphs, a table format, or a list.

[0055] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of care plan related information CR. FIG. 9 shows an example of information to be entered in the second table of a facility service plan as an example of care plan related information CR. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing another example of care plan related information CR. FIG. 10 shows information to be entered in the first table of a facility service plan as an example of care plan related information CR. Note that the examples shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 are merely for explaining an example of care plan related information CR, and the care plan related information CR is not limited to the contents shown in FIGS. 9 and 10.

[0056] (Large-scale language model M) A large-scale language model M is a type of artificial intelligence used in the field of natural language processing. It is capable of statistically learning the probability distribution of words and sentences from huge amounts of text data, and generating natural language output like a human being for a given input (e.g., the prompt P mentioned above).

[0057] More specifically, the large-scale language model M is a type of deep learning model, and is based on a computational model called a neural network, which mimics the function of neurons in the human brain. A neural network has a multi-layered structure that receives a huge amount of input data, learns patterns, and adjusts parameters.

[0058] The large-scale language model M is composed of a huge neural network consisting of a huge number of parameters, and is a model trained using a large amount of text data. As a result, the large-scale language model M has language knowledge such as grammar, meaning, and context inside, and can generate an appropriate output for a given input. The large-scale language model M according to this embodiment is a model trained to generate appropriate care plan-related information based on assessment information.

[0059] (Assessment information acquisition unit 121) The assessment information acquisition unit 121 acquires assessment information A, which is information on the results of an assessment of a care recipient. An example of the assessment information A is as described above with reference to FIG.

[0060] For example, the assessment information acquisition unit 121 acquires the assessment information A input by the user by receiving it from the user terminal 20. However, the source of the assessment information A is not limited to the user terminal 20. For example, the assessment information acquisition unit 121 may acquire the assessment information A from an external device that stores the assessment information A. The assessment information acquisition unit 121 stores the acquired assessment information A in the memory unit 11.

[0061] (Prompt acquisition unit 122) The prompt acquisition unit 122 acquires a prompt P including assessment information A related to the result of an assessment of the care recipient. The prompt acquisition unit 122 acquires, for example, the prompt P generated by the prompt generation unit 123 described below. An example of the prompt P is as described above with reference to FIG. 3.

[0062] Furthermore, for example, the prompt acquisition unit 122 may acquire the prompt P created by the user by receiving it from the user terminal 20. However, the source of the prompt P is not limited to the user terminal 20. For example, the prompt acquisition unit 122 may acquire the prompt P from an external device that stores the prompt P. The prompt acquisition unit 122 stores the acquired prompt in the storage unit 11.

[0063] (Prompt generation unit 123) The prompt generating section 123 generates a prompt P based on the assessment information A acquired by the assessment information acquiring section 121 and a prompt template PT (predetermined template information of a prompt).

[0064] For example, the prompt generation unit 123 receives assessment information A from the assessment information acquisition unit 121. Alternatively, the prompt generation unit 123 reads out the assessment information 111 stored in the storage unit 11. The prompt generation unit 123 also reads out a prompt template PT from the storage unit 11. The prompt generation unit 123 then generates a prompt P based on the acquired assessment information A and the prompt template PT. The prompt generation unit 123 also presents the generated prompt P to the user terminal 20 by transmitting it to the user terminal 20.

[0065] The prompt template PT has some fields where information has not been entered, and is in an incomplete state as a prompt P. In the example of the prompt template PT shown in Fig. 4, for example, information needs to be entered in fields such as "Enter information about the care recipient" and "Enter requests from the care recipient and his / her family." Therefore, the prompt generation unit 123 extracts information necessary for creating a care plan, such as basic information and requests of the care recipient, from the assessment information A, and enters the necessary information in the relevant fields.

[0066] The prompt generation unit 123, for example, obtains basic information about the care recipient, such as name, age, gender, level of care required, underlying illnesses, etc., from the assessment information A, enters this information in the ``Enter information about the care recipient'' field, and generates a prompt P.

[0067] Also, as shown in Figure 2, the assessment information A includes ICF stage information and Vitality Index information, and the prompt generation unit 123 acquires the ICF stage information and Vitality Index information included in the assessment information A, enters them into the [Enter information about the care recipient] column of the prompt template PT, and generates prompt P.

[0068] In addition, for example, the prompt generation unit 123 may obtain information from the assessment information A, such as the individual's wish, "I want to get better," or the family's wish, "I want them to get better," and enter this information into the [Enter the wishes of the person being cared for and their family] field of the prompt template PT to generate a prompt P.

[0069] For example, when assessment information A is acquired, the correspondence between the order of each item and the content of the information may be determined in advance. For example, in the example shown in Fig. 2, the first piece of information may be determined in advance to represent the age of the care recipient, and the prompt generation unit 123 may extract this as age information about the care recipient.

[0070] Furthermore, when the assessment information A is acquired, the prompt generation unit 123 may be configured to extract various information such as basic information of the care recipient, the requests of the care recipient, and the requests of the family by analyzing information included in the assessment information A through natural language processing such as morphological analysis. Furthermore, the prompt generation unit 123 may be configured to extract various information such as basic information of the care recipient, the requests of the care recipient, and the requests of the family by using a large-scale language model.

[0071] Alternatively, when the assessment information A is input into the information processing system 1, it may be input for each item such as the name and age of the person being cared for, and the information processing system 1 may store various information such as the name and age of the person being cared for in association with an ID that identifies each item, and is not particularly limited.

[0072] Note that not all prompts P are necessarily generated by the prompt generating unit 123, and input from the user may be accepted for some items. For example, the prompt P generated by the prompt generating unit 123 may be transmitted to the user terminal 20 and presented to the user, and then the user may be able to add or modify information to the prompt P via the user terminal 20.

[0073] In other words, it is not necessary for the prompt generation unit 123 to generate the prompt P from scratch every time; for example, the majority of the prompt can be generated by the prompt generation unit 123, and the user can add or modify some of the information, and overall, the task of creating accurate prompts P can be carried out efficiently.

[0074] For example, in the prompt template PT shown in Figure 4, there is a field for entering reference information, [Reference information, enter the URL where the reference information is posted]. The information entered in this field may be the information itself that will be used to create an appropriate care plan, or it may be the location where such information is stored (for example, the address of a shared folder within an organization or the URL of a website on the Internet).

[0075] For example, the reference information may include supplementary information regarding the ICF staging or vitality index (e.g., various definition information for the ICF staging or vitality index, and appropriate goal setting, plans, and care service contents according to the ICF staging or vitality index) itself, or it may be information on the location where reference materials containing such supplementary information are stored.

[0076] The reference information may be included in the assessment information A, or may be reference information input by a user to the information processing system 1 via the user terminal 20 and stored in the storage unit 11. The prompt generation unit 123 may read out the reference information stored in the assessment information A or the reference information stored in the storage unit 11 and input it into the reference information field of the prompt template PT, thereby generating a prompt including the reference information.

[0077] Furthermore, the prompt generator 123 may use, for example, a large-scale language model to find a website on which reference information is posted, and generate a prompt P to which the URL of the website is input.

[0078] (Care plan related information generating unit 124) The care plan-related information generating unit 124 generates care plan-related information CR related to the care plan C of the care recipient based on the prompt P. The care plan-related information generating unit 124 receives the prompt P from the prompt generating unit 123. Alternatively, the care plan-related information generating unit 124 may be configured to read out the prompt P from the storage unit 11, and is not particularly limited. In addition, the care plan-related information generating unit 124 presents the generated care plan-related information CR to the user terminal 20 by transmitting it to the user terminal 20.

[0079] The care plan-related information generating unit 124 generates the care plan-related information CR by using, for example, the large-scale language model M. That is, when the care plan-related information generating unit 124 inputs a prompt P to the large-scale language model, the large-scale language model generates information including sentences expressed in natural language in accordance with the prompt P, such as part of the information constituting the care plan C, information intermediately generated to create the final care plan C, or information on the final care plan C itself.

[0080] The large-scale language model M may generate the care plan related information CR by directly using various information related to the care recipient, etc., included in the prompt P. The large-scale language model M may also generate the care plan related information CR by using information obtained from a web page at a URL included as reference information in the prompt P.

[0081] Furthermore, the large-scale language model M may autonomously collect information on the Internet using reference information contained in the prompt P (e.g., the name of the material and source information), or search for materials on the Web based on the material name and source information, and use the collected information and reference materials to generate care plan-related information CR.

[0082] Furthermore, the large-scale language model M may generate care plan related information CR according to the ICF stage or vitality index, using reference information related to the ICF stage or vitality index included in the prompt P. This makes it possible to generate care plan related information CR including goal setting, plans, and care service contents according to the ICF stage and vitality index of the care recipient.

[0083] In this manner, the care plan related information generating unit 124 generates and outputs the care plan related information CR using the large-scale language model M. Note that the care plan related information generating unit 124 may generate the care plan related information CR using an AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology other than the large-scale language model.

[0084] In addition, the large-scale language model M and the care plan related information generation unit 124 may be configured as an integrated unit within the server 10, or the large-scale language model M may be provided in another information processing device capable of communicating with the server 10, and processing may be requested from the server 10 as necessary, and there is no particular limitation thereto.

[0085] For example, the care plan related information generating unit 124 generates, as an example of the care plan related information CR, information to be entered in the second table of the facility service plan as shown in Fig. 9 (second table related information) using a large-scale language model as described above. Also, for example, the care plan related information generating unit 124 generates, as an example of the care plan related information CR, information to be entered in the first table of the facility service plan as shown in examples 1 and 2 of Fig. 10 (first table related information). Note that as the first table related information and the second table related information, all information included in the first and second tables of the above-mentioned care plan may be generated, or part of the information included in the first and second tables may be generated, and there is no particular limitation.

[0086] The care plan related information generation unit 124 may, for example, use the information contained in prompt P itself, information stored at a location indicated by a URL, or information collected from the Internet based on basic information about the care recipient contained in prompt P and the requests of the care recipient or their family, to formulate a comprehensive assistance policy appropriate for the care recipient, and may also determine tasks, long-term goals, short-term goals, services, duration, etc., and generate a sentence expressing the content thereof.

[0087] For example, the care plan related information generation unit 124 uses the ICF stage information and vitality index information contained in the prompt P to generate care plan related information CR, such as information to be entered into the above Table 1 and information to be entered into the above Table 2, with content corresponding to the ICF stage information and vitality index information.

[0088] The care plan related information generating unit 124 may generate the care plan related information CR in a table format. For example, the care plan related information generating unit 124 generates information to be entered in the second table of the facility service plan in a table format, as shown in Fig. 9. In the example shown in Fig. 9, the first row displays the item names "Task, Long-term goal, Short-term goal, Service, Period" that explain the contents of each column, and each row displays the specific contents of the table.

[0089] Furthermore, the care plan related information generating unit 124 generates care plan table 1 information and care plan table 2 information whose contents correspond to the ICF stage information included in the prompt P. Furthermore, the care plan related information generating unit 124 generates care plan table 1 information and care plan table 2 information whose contents correspond to the vitality index information included in the prompt P.

[0090] Since the prompt P contains the ICF stage information and vitality index information of the care recipient contained in the assessment information A, the care plan related information generation unit 124 uses the ICF stage information and vitality index information of the care recipient to set a target ICF stage and appropriate service content, thereby generating the care plan related information CR.

[0091] In this regard, for example, the large-scale language model M has been trained including the relationship between the current ICF stage and vitality index and the appropriate ICF stage and service content as a target, etc. The care plan related information generating unit 124 can use this trained large-scale language model M to generate table 1 related information and table 2 related information whose contents correspond to the ICF stage information and vitality index information of the care recipient, for example.

[0092] (Care plan generation unit 125) The care plan generating unit 125 outputs a care plan C expressed in a standard form (predetermined format) based on the care plan related information CR and the care plan template CT (predetermined template information of a care plan).

[0093] For example, the care plan generating unit 125 receives the care plan related information CR from the care plan related information generating unit 124. Alternatively, the care plan generating unit 125 reads out the care plan related information CR stored in the storage unit 11. In addition, the care plan generating unit 125 reads out the care plan template CT from the storage unit 11.

[0094] Then, the care plan generating unit 125 generates a care plan C based on the acquired care plan related information CR and the care plan template CT. Then, the care plan generating unit 125 transmits the generated care plan C to the user terminal 20 to present it to the user.

[0095] 7 and 8, the care plan template CT has blank columns for inputting specific information about the care recipient. Therefore, the care plan generation unit 125 extracts necessary information from the care plan related information CR and inputs the necessary information into the blank columns of the care plan template CT to generate the care plan C.

[0096] The care plan generation unit 125, for example, acquires care plan related information CR for Table 2 shown in Figure 9, extracts information from the care plan related information CR that corresponds to each blank space such as "Problems (needs) to be solved in general life," "Long-term goals," "Short-term goals," "Period," and "Service content" shown in Figure 8, and enters the information into each blank space to generate a care plan C.

[0097] In addition, the care plan generation unit 125 acquires, for example, care plan related information CR for Table 1 shown in FIG. 10, extracts information from the care plan related information CR corresponding to each blank space such as "intentions regarding the life of the user and his / her family" shown in FIG. 7, and inputs the information into each blank space to generate a care plan C.

[0098] At this time, for example, information representing a predefined correspondence between each item of the care plan related information CR and a blank space in the care plan template CT is stored in the memory unit 11, and the care plan generation unit 125 may generate the care plan C by referring to the information representing the correspondence and inputting the contents of each item included in the care plan related information CR into the corresponding blank space in the care plan template CT.

[0099] Note that the care plan-related information CR shown in Figures 9 and 10 is merely one example of care plan-related information CR generated at a certain time, and the care plan-related information CR used to generate the final care plan C shown in Figures 5 and 6 may, for example, be regenerated based on modified assessment information A or may be modified by the user.

[0100] (Processing flow in information processing system 1) An example of the operation of the information processing system 1 configured as above will be described with reference to Fig. 11. Fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the information processing system 1.

[0101] In step S101, the control unit 22 of the user terminal 20 transmits assessment information A input by the user to the server 10. The assessment information A includes ICF stage information and vitality index information.

[0102] In step S 102 , the assessment information acquisition unit 121 of the server 10 acquires the assessment information A by receiving it from the user terminal 20 .

[0103] In step S103, the prompt generation unit 123 of the server 10 generates a prompt P based on the assessment information A acquired by the assessment information acquisition unit 121 and the prompt template PT read from the storage unit 11. The prompt generation unit 123 also generates a prompt including information about the reference material. The prompt generation unit 123 transmits the generated prompt P to the user terminal 20.

[0104] In step S104, the control unit 22 of the user terminal 20 presents the received prompt P to the user. The user checks whether an appropriate prompt P has been generated.

[0105] In step S105, the control unit 22 of the user terminal 20 transmits information input by the user instructing the generation of care plan related information CR to the server 10. For example, a screen for accepting input of a prompt P and a button for instructing the generation of care plan related information CR are displayed on the user terminal 20. Then, for example, when the user inputs the prompt P and presses a button instructing the generation of care plan related information CR, the information instructing the generation of care plan related information CR is transmitted to the server 10 together with the prompt P.

[0106] In step S106, the care plan related information generating unit 124 of the server 10 generates the care plan related information CR based on the received prompt P. At this time, the care plan related information generating unit 124 uses the large-scale language model M to generate the care plan related information CR.

[0107] The care plan related information generating unit 124 can generate the care plan related information CR in a table format. The care plan related information CR can generate information included in the first and second tables of the care plan in a table format. The care plan related information generating unit 124 can generate the first table related information and the second table related information of the care plan whose contents correspond to the ICF stage information and the vitality index information.

[0108] Furthermore, the care plan related information generating unit 124 can refer to the reference material based on reference information included in the prompt P (for example, information on the content of the reference material itself and the storage location of the reference material data, etc.) and generate the care plan related information CR based on the content of the reference material. Then, the generated care plan related information CR is transmitted to the user terminal 20 and stored in the storage unit 11.

[0109] In step S107, the control unit 22 of the user terminal 20 presents the received care plan related information CR to the user. The user checks whether appropriate care plan related information CR has been generated.

[0110] In step S108, the control unit 22 of the user terminal 20 transmits information input by the user instructing the generation of the care plan C to the server 10. For example, a button for instructing the generation of the care plan C is displayed on the user terminal 20. Then, when the user presses the button for instructing the generation of the care plan C, the information for instructing the generation of the care plan C is transmitted to the server 10.

[0111] In step S109, the care plan generation unit 125 of the server 10 reads from the memory unit 11 the care plan related information CR confirmed by the user in step S107 and the care plan template CT corresponding to the care plan C instructed to be generated by the user in S108, and generates a care plan C based on the read care plan related information CR and care plan template CT.

[0112] The care plan generating unit 125 may receive, for example, the care plan related information CR modified by the user from the user terminal 20, and generate the care plan C based on the received care plan related information CR and the care plan template CT. The care plan generating unit 125 transmits the generated care plan C to the user terminal 20 and stores it in the storage unit 11.

[0113] In step S110, the control unit 22 of the user terminal 20 presents the received care plan C to the user. The user checks whether an appropriate care plan C has been generated.

[0114] This completes the operation of the information processing system 1. Note that the flowchart shown in Fig. 11 merely explains one example of the operation of the information processing system 1, and the operation of the information processing system 1 is not limited thereto.
