Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, a program, a remote rehabilitation system, and an information processing method.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, rehabilitation by hospital visits (hereinafter, "rehabilitation" is simply referred to as "rehab") has a heavy burden on patients and a low continuation rate due to problems such as daily work, commuting distance, or means of transportation to the hospital. Against this background, so-called remote rehab has been proposed. For example, Non-Patent Document 1 discloses cardiac remote rehab that performs remote rehab while applying a load to a patient's heart. In rehab exercises during various types of remote rehab such as cardiac remote rehab, appropriate loads of appropriate sizes of appropriate types are sequentially applied to the patient according to their condition. Here, a procedure indicating in what order, what type, and what size of load is applied to the patient for what length (time) is referred to as a "load prescription".

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Conventionally, for example, regarding the load prescription in cardiac remote rehabilitation, every time, a medical professional has to judge the content, manually set the content of the judged load prescription on a medical professional's terminal, and transmit it to a system on the patient side that performs cardiac remote rehabilitation. There has been a problem that this is necessary. Since the content of the load prescription in cardiac remote rehabilitation involves a wide variety of items to be set, the above-mentioned operation every time has been a heavy burden on medical professionals. Also, there has been a similar burden in remote rehabilitation targeting patients other than those with heart diseases.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an information processing apparatus that eliminates the need for a medical professional to set a load prescription every time in remote rehabilitation.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a patient-related information acquisition unit that acquires patient-related information related to a patient in remote rehabilitation, a load prescription plan generation unit that generates a load prescription plan, which is a plan for a rehabilitation exercise in remote rehabilitation, based on the patient-related information, and a load prescription plan display information generation unit that generates load prescription plan display information for displaying the generated load prescription plan, and is characterized by this.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, since it is configured as described above, it is not necessary for a medical professional to set a load prescription every time in remote rehabilitation.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Embodiment 1. In the remote rehabilitation system, as shown in FIG. 1, an information processing device 1, a patient system 2, and a medical staff terminal 3 are connected via a network 4. In FIG. 1, only one patient system 2 is shown, but a plurality of patient systems 2 can be connected to the network 4. Also, in FIG. 1, only one medical staff terminal 3 is shown, but a plurality of medical staff terminals 3 can be connected to the network 4. Hereinafter, the case where a plurality of patient systems 2 are connected to the network 4 will be described as an example. Also, as will be described later, one medical staff terminal 3 has a function of displaying information regarding a plurality of patients. In the situation where there is only one patient being monitored, only the information regarding that patient may be displayed. However, hereinafter, in particular, the case where there are a plurality of patients being monitored and information regarding a plurality of patients is displayed simultaneously will be described as an example. As the network 4, an existing telecommunication line can be used. The network 4 is, for example, the Internet.

[0010] In the following, a case where the remote rehabilitation system is a system that supports rehabilitation for heart disease will be described as an example. Also, in the following, the rehabilitation for heart disease supported by the remote rehabilitation system is also referred to as "cardiac remote rehabilitation". Note that the types of diseases targeted for rehabilitation are not limited to this. That is, the remote rehabilitation system may be a system that supports rehabilitation for diseases other than heart disease, for example, a system that supports rehabilitation for diseases such as stroke or cancer.

[0011] Also, in the following, a case where the rehabilitation performed by the patient using the patient terminal 8 is resistance exercise and cycling exercise is shown, but the rehabilitation performed by the patient is not limited to this. For example, the rehabilitation performed by the patient may be an exercise other than the above-mentioned resistance exercise and cycling exercise, such as an exercise using a treadmill and an exercise using a cable machine. Also, the patient may perform any one of the resistance exercise, cycling exercise, exercise using a treadmill, and exercise using a cable machine as rehabilitation, or may perform a combined exercise of two or more of the above-mentioned exercises as rehabilitation. Note that in the following, the rehabilitation performed by the patient using the patient terminal 8 is also referred to as "rehabilitation exercise".

[0012] Also, FIG. 1 shows a case where the information processing device 1 is configured separately from the medical staff terminal 3. However, it is not limited to this, and the information processing device 1 may be configured to include the medical staff terminal 3. Also, when the information processing device 1 is configured separately from the medical staff terminal 3, it may be configured as a server. Also, in that case, the server may provide functions to the medical staff terminal 3 by SaaS (Software as a Service), or may be installed and operated within the facility managed by the medical staff (on-premises). In addition, FIG. 1 shows a case where the information processing apparatus 1 is configured separately from the patient terminal 8. However, the information processing apparatus 1 is not limited to this, and may be configured to include the patient terminal 8. Further, when the information processing apparatus 1 is configured separately from the patient terminal 8, it may be configured as a server. In that case, the server may provide functions to the patient terminal 8 by SaaS, or may be installed and operated in a facility where the patient performs rehabilitation exercises (on-premises).

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a communication unit 11, an arithmetic unit 12, and a storage unit 13. Note that the information processing apparatus 1 may be physically configured by a single server, or may be configured by a plurality of servers.

[0014] The communication unit 11 communicates with the patient terminal 8 included in the patient system 2 and the medical staff terminal 3 via the network 4.

[0015] The arithmetic unit 12 controls the overall operation of the information processing apparatus 1. The arithmetic unit 12 realizes various functions by executing an information processing apparatus application.

[0016] The storage unit 13 stores the information processing apparatus application and stores data used for the arithmetic processing of the arithmetic unit 12. Further, when the information processing apparatus 1 is configured as a server and the server executes a patient terminal application to provide various functions to the patient terminal 8 by SaaS or on-premises, the storage unit 13 also stores the patient terminal application. Further, when the information processing apparatus 1 is configured as a server and the server executes a medical staff terminal application to provide various functions to the medical staff terminal 3 by SaaS or on-premises, the storage unit 13 also stores the medical staff terminal application.

[0017] In addition, the storage unit 13 stores patient-related information. The patient-related information is information related to the patient undergoing cardiac remote rehabilitation, and can broadly include information about the patient, such as the patient's name, age, gender, disease name, or a patient ID that enables the patient to be identified. In addition to the information described above, the patient-related information may also include history information (log) indicating the history of rehabilitation exercises the patient has performed in the past, and information indicating the load prescription (hereinafter referred to as the "next load prescription") to be applied during the patient's next rehabilitation exercise. The next load prescription is, for example, a load prescription generated by the load prescription generation unit (to be described later) of the information processing device 1, or a load prescription in which the load prescription generated by the load prescription generation unit has been changed by the responsible medical staff. Regarding the next load prescription, if there is a load prescription manually created by the responsible medical staff after the end of the previous rehabilitation exercise, that load prescription may be used as the next load prescription.

[0018] The history information can broadly include information related to the patient's rehabilitation exercise, such as the date and time when the patient started the rehabilitation exercise, the name of the responsible medical staff, the responsible medical staff ID indicating the responsible medical staff, the results of the medical interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, the load prescription actually applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, information indicating the patient's state during the rehabilitation exercise (corresponding to the "rehabilitation state information" to be described later), the date and time when the patient ended the rehabilitation exercise, or information indicating the results of the medical interview conducted after the end of the rehabilitation exercise. Among these, the load prescription actually applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise and the information indicating the patient's state during the rehabilitation exercise can be stored in chronological order in one (one session) rehabilitation exercise. Note that the history information is not limited to the information listed above, and may broadly include various information that can be obtained from the patient terminal 8 and the medical staff terminal 3 in the rehabilitation exercises the patient has performed in the past. Note that the storage unit 13 only needs to be accessible from the information processing device 1, and may be provided outside the information processing device 1.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, the calculation unit 12 includes a rehabilitation status information acquisition unit 1201, an acquisition request reception unit 1202, a screen display information generation unit 1203, a rehabilitation start information acquisition unit 1204, a rehabilitation end information acquisition unit 1205, a patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, a load treatment plan generation unit 1207, a load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208, a decision instruction reception unit 1209, a load prescription information transmission unit 1210, and a load prescription storage processing unit 1211. By executing the information processing device application, the calculation unit 12 realizes the functions of the rehabilitation status information acquisition unit 1201, the acquisition request reception unit 1202, the screen display information generation unit 1203, the rehabilitation start information acquisition unit 1204, the rehabilitation end information acquisition unit 1205, the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207, the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208, the decision instruction reception unit 1209, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210, and the load prescription storage processing unit 1211. The information processing device application is always running so as to be able to acquire various requests and the like from the patient terminal 8 or the medical staff terminal 3 at any time.

[0020] The rehabilitation status information acquisition unit 1201 acquires rehabilitation status information from the patient terminal 8. The rehabilitation status information is information indicating the state of a patient during the execution of rehabilitation using the patient terminal 8. Examples of this rehabilitation status information include electrocardiogram waveform data, heart rate, the intensity of breathing during bike exercise, the intensity of exercise during bike exercise, the rotation speed of the pedals in the bike 6 of the patient system 2, the load on the pedals in the bike 6 of the patient system 2, the running speed on the treadmill of the patient system 2, saturation (blood oxygen saturation), respiratory rate, a still image or video of the face, body sway during exercise, or blood pressure. Note that the rehabilitation status information acquisition unit 1201 stores the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8 in the storage unit 13 as history information included in the above patient-related information.

[0021] The acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives, from the patient terminal 8, a request for acquisition of display information for displaying a patient screen on the patient terminal 8. The patient screen is a screen displayed on the patient terminal 8 and is a screen that a patient refers to when performing rehabilitation exercises. Examples of the patient screen include, for example, a home screen, a resistance exercise screen, and a bike exercise screen. Note that these screen examples will be described later.

[0022] In addition, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives, from the medical staff terminal 3, a request for acquisition of display information for displaying a medical staff screen on the medical staff terminal 3. The medical staff screen is a screen displayed on the medical staff terminal 3 and is a screen that a medical staff refers to when a patient performs rehabilitation exercises. Examples of the medical staff screen include, for example, a home screen, a patient information management screen, and a rehabilitation monitoring screen. Note that these screen examples will be described later.

[0023] When the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives a request for acquisition of display information from the patient terminal 8, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying a patient screen and outputs the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. In addition, when the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives a request for acquisition of display information from the medical staff terminal 3, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying a medical staff screen and outputs the generated display information to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0024] Note that in the following description, as described above, an example will be described in which the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying a patient screen based on a request for acquisition of display information and outputs the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. At this time, the display information for displaying the patient screen generated by the screen display information generation unit 1203 may include information that is minimally necessary for displaying the patient screen (for example, information regarding various numerical values, etc.). For example, the screen display information generation unit 1203 may generate only the information that is minimally necessary to display the patient screen as the display information for displaying the patient screen, and output the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. On the other hand, when the patient terminal 8 acquires, as display information, the information that is minimally necessary to display the patient screen from the screen display information generation unit 1203, the patient terminal 8 may generate additional information for this display information (for example, information regarding the frame or color of the patient screen), and generate the final patient screen using the generated additional information and the display information acquired from the screen display information generation unit 1203, and display the generated patient screen. Alternatively, the screen display information generation unit 1203 may generate, as the display information for displaying the patient screen, information obtained by adding the above-described additional information to the information that is minimally necessary to display the patient screen, and output the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. In this case, the patient terminal 8 may generate the patient screen using the display information acquired from the screen display information generation unit 1203, and display the generated patient screen.

[0025] In the following description, as described above, an example will be described in which the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates the display information for displaying the medical staff screen based on the acquisition request of the display information, and outputs the generated display information to the medical staff terminal 3. At this time, the display information for displaying the medical staff screen generated by the screen display information generation unit 1203 may include the information that is minimally necessary to display the medical staff screen (for example, information regarding various numerical values, etc.). For example, the screen display information generation unit 1203 may generate only the information that is minimally necessary to display the medical staff screen as the display information for displaying the medical staff screen, and output the generated display information to the medical staff terminal 3. On the other hand, when the medical staff terminal 3 acquires, as display information, the information that is minimally necessary to display the medical staff screen from the screen display information generation unit 1203, the medical staff terminal 3 may generate additional information for this display information (for example, information regarding the frame or color of the medical staff screen), and generate the final medical staff screen using the generated additional information and the display information acquired from the screen display information generation unit 1203, and display the generated medical staff screen. In addition, the screen display information generation unit 1203 may generate, as display information for displaying the medical staff screen, information obtained by adding the above-described additional information to the information that is minimally necessary for displaying the medical staff screen, and output the generated display information to the medical staff terminal 3. In this case, the medical staff terminal 3 may generate the medical staff screen using the display information acquired from the screen display information generation unit 1203, and display the generated medical staff screen.

[0026] The rehabilitation start information acquisition unit 1204 acquires rehabilitation start information from the patient terminal 8. The rehabilitation start information is information indicating that each patient has started rehabilitation. The timing indicating that each patient has started rehabilitation is, for example, the timing when each patient performs an operation of pressing a "rehabilitation start" button on a home screen (to be described later) among the patient screens. Each patient starts the actual rehabilitation exercise (resistance exercise and bike exercise) after starting rehabilitation by pressing the "rehabilitation start" button on the home screen.

[0027] The rehabilitation end information acquisition unit 1205 acquires rehabilitation end information from the patient terminal 8. The rehabilitation end information is information indicating that each patient has ended rehabilitation. The timing indicating that each patient has ended rehabilitation is, for example, the timing when each patient performs an operation of pressing an "end" button on a bike exercise screen (to be described later) among the patient screens. It is assumed that each patient performs an operation of pressing the "end" button on the bike exercise screen when the actual rehabilitation exercise (resistance exercise and bike exercise) ends. In that case, the timing when each patient ends the actual rehabilitation exercise and the timing when each patient ends rehabilitation are almost the same timing.

[0028] The patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 acquires patient-related information from the storage unit 13. For example, when a patient logs in to the remote rehabilitation system using the patient terminal 8, the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 acquires the patient-related information of the logged-in patient from the storage unit 13.

[0029] Based on the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan, which is a plan for the rehabilitation exercise in cardiac remote rehabilitation. For example, based on the information indicating the next load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan to be applied to the patient during the current rehabilitation exercise. In this case, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may generate the next load prescription as the current load prescription plan as it is, or may generate a plan obtained by appropriately modifying the next load prescription as the current load prescription plan.

[0030] The load prescription plan display information generation unit 1208 generates load prescription plan display information for displaying the load prescription plan generated by the load prescription plan generation unit 1207. Then, the load prescription plan display information generation unit 1208 outputs the generated load prescription plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0031] The medical staff terminal 3 acquires the output load prescription plan display information and displays the acquired load prescription plan display information on a display unit 34 described later. The medical staff confirms the displayed load prescription plan, and if there is no problem with the displayed load prescription plan, gives a decision instruction to the medical staff terminal 3 indicating that the load prescription plan is determined as the current load prescription. On the other hand, when the medical staff changes the content of the displayed load prescription plan, the medical staff inputs load prescription information indicating a load prescription (hereinafter referred to as "changed load prescription") with the content of the load prescription plan changed to the medical staff terminal 3, and gives a decision instruction indicating that this changed load prescription is determined as the current load prescription. At this time, the medical staff may give a save instruction for the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0032] In the following description, as described above, an example will be described in which the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208 generates load treatment plan display information for displaying a load treatment plan and outputs the generated load treatment plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3. At this time, the load treatment plan display information generated by the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208 for displaying the load treatment plan may include information that is the minimum necessary for displaying the display screen of the load treatment plan (for example, information regarding various numerical values, etc.). For example, the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208 may generate only the minimum necessary information for displaying the display screen of the load treatment plan as the load treatment plan display information and output the generated load treatment plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3. On the other hand, when the medical staff terminal 3 acquires, from the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208, the minimum necessary information for displaying the display screen of the load treatment plan as the load treatment plan display information, the medical staff terminal 3 generates additional information for this display information (for example, information regarding the frame or color of the display screen for the load treatment plan, etc.), and uses the generated additional information and the load treatment plan display information acquired from the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208 to generate the final display screen for the load treatment plan and display the generated display screen. Alternatively, the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208 may generate, as the load treatment plan display information, information obtained by adding the above-mentioned additional information to the minimum necessary information for displaying the display screen of the load treatment plan, and output the generated load treatment plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3. In this case, the medical staff terminal 3 may generate the display screen for the load treatment plan using the load treatment plan display information acquired from the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208 and display the generated display screen.

[0033] The decision instruction reception unit 1209 receives a decision instruction indicating that the load prescription is to be determined from the medical staff terminal 3. Note that when the medical staff changes the content of the load treatment plan displayed on the medical staff terminal 3, the decision instruction reception unit 1209 receives, from the medical staff terminal 3, in addition to the above-mentioned decision instruction, load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription.

[0034] The load prescription information transmission unit 1210 transmits load prescription information, which is information indicating a load prescription, to the patient system 2. Specifically, when the decision instruction reception unit 1209 receives the above decision instruction from the medical staff terminal 3 and does not receive the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210 transmits the load prescription information indicating the content of the load prescription plan generated by the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 as the content of the load prescription to the patient system 2. On the other hand, when the decision instruction reception unit 1209 receives, from the medical staff terminal 3, in addition to the above decision instruction, the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210 transmits the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription to the patient system 2.

[0035] The load prescription information is constituted by, for example, instruction information for resistance exercise, or load control information for bike exercise, or information combining the instruction information for resistance exercise and the load control information for bike exercise. The instruction information for resistance exercise is, for example, information indicating the type and number of times of resistance exercise. The patient system 2 that has acquired the instruction information for resistance exercise is controlled, for example, to select a sample video of the type of exercise indicated by the instruction information from a group of sample videos and repeatedly display the selected sample videos the number of times indicated by the instruction information. In this case, the information indicating the sample videos constituting the group of sample videos may be separately transmitted from the information processing apparatus 1 to the patient system 2, or may be stored in the patient system 2 in advance.

[0036] Also, the load control information for bike exercise is, for example, information indicating the load value of the pedal in the bike 6 used by the patient during bike exercise and the load time, which is the time for pedaling the pedal. The patient system 2 that has acquired the load control information for bike exercise is controlled, for example, so that the load value of the pedal in the bike 6 becomes the load value of the pedal indicated by the load control information, and also so that the time for pedaling the pedal becomes the load time indicated by the load control information.

[0037] The load prescription storage processing unit 1211 receives a storage instruction of load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription from the medical staff terminal 3. When receiving this storage instruction, the load prescription storage processing unit 1211 causes the storage unit 13 to store the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription included in the patient-related information. In this case, the changed load prescription becomes the next load prescription as it is.

[0038] In addition, in FIG. 2, the case where the arithmetic unit 12 includes the rehabilitation state information acquisition unit 1201, the acquisition request reception unit 1202, the screen display information generation unit 1203, the rehabilitation start information acquisition unit 1204, the rehabilitation end information acquisition unit 1205, the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, the load prescription generation unit 1207, the load prescription display information generation unit 1208, the decision instruction reception unit 1209, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210, and the load prescription storage processing unit 1211 is shown. However, it is not limited to this, and the arithmetic unit 12 may include at least the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, the load prescription generation unit 1207, and the load prescription display information generation unit 1208.

[0039] The patient system 2 is a system used by a patient who performs rehabilitation. As shown in FIG. 1, the patient system 2 includes an electrocardiograph 5, a bike 6, a rotation detector 7, and a patient terminal 8.

[0040] The electrocardiograph 5 is a device that a patient who performs rehabilitation attaches near his / her heart. This electrocardiograph 5 is connected to the patient terminal 8. Then, the electrocardiograph 5 detects the electrical activity of the patient's heart and outputs information indicating the heart rate, which is the result, and information indicating the electrocardiogram waveform data to the patient terminal 8 as sensor information. This sensor information is information utilized as rehabilitation state information.

[0041] The bike 6 is a stationary device used by a patient who performs bike exercise in rehabilitation. The bike 6 is provided with pedals that the patient pedals during bike exercise. This bike 6 is connected to the patient terminal 8, and is configured such that the load value of the pedal and the time for pedaling the pedal (load time) can be controlled by the patient terminal 8.

[0042] The rotation detector 7 is provided on the bike 6. This rotation detector 7 detects the rotation speed of the pedal in the bike 6, and outputs information indicating the detected rotation speed to the patient terminal 8 as sensor information. This sensor information is information that is utilized as rehabilitation status information.

[0043] In addition, in the patient system 2 shown in FIG. 1, the case where the sensors that output sensor information to the patient terminal 8 are the electrocardiograph 5 and the rotation detector 7 is shown, but the sensors that output sensor information to the patient terminal 8 are not limited to this. For example, as sensors that output sensor information to the patient terminal 8, in addition to the above, there are a sphygmomanometer, a pulse oximeter, a weighing scale, a thermometer, a body fat monitor, and the like. In this case, for example, the sphygmomanometer detects the blood pressure of the patient, and outputs information indicating the blood pressure to the patient terminal 8 as sensor information.

[0044] Also, in the above, the case where the electrocardiograph 5 outputs information indicating the heart rate and information indicating the electrocardiogram waveform data to the patient terminal 8 as sensor information is shown, but the sensor information output by the electrocardiograph 5 to the patient terminal 8 is not limited to this. For example, the electrocardiograph 5 may be configured to detect the body temperature, the respiratory rate, or the acceleration of the electrocardiograph 5, and output this information to the patient terminal 8 as sensor information. Note that the information indicating the acceleration of the electrocardiograph 5 is used, for example, when an abnormality such as a fall occurs to the patient wearing the electrocardiograph 5, so that the patient terminal 8 can detect the occurrence of the abnormality. For example, when the patient wearing the electrocardiograph 5 falls, it is assumed that the acceleration of the electrocardiograph 5 will temporarily increase. The patient terminal 8 detects that the patient has fallen based on this temporary change in acceleration.

[0045] In addition, the sensor information output to the patient terminal 8 may include all of the information indicating the heart rate and the information indicating the electrocardiogram waveform data detected by the electrocardiograph 5, the information indicating the rotation speed of the pedals in the bicycle 6 detected by the rotation detector 7, and the information indicating the blood pressure of the patient detected by the sphygmomanometer. Further, the sensor information output to the patient terminal 8 may include various information as long as it is information detected in relation to the patient who performs rehabilitation, in addition to the above information.

[0046] The patient terminal 8 is a terminal capable of communicating with the information processing device 1 via the network 4, and is a terminal used by a patient who performs rehabilitation. Examples of such a patient terminal 8 include a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a PC (Personal Computer).

[0047] As shown in FIG. 1, the patient terminal 8 includes a communication unit 81, an arithmetic unit 82, an operation unit 83, and a display unit 84.

[0048] The communication unit 81 is a communication interface for communicating with other devices such as the information processing device 1.

[0049] The arithmetic unit 82 controls the overall operation of the patient terminal 8. Further, for example, when a patient terminal application is installed in the patient terminal 8, the arithmetic unit 82 realizes various functions by executing the patient terminal application. Further, for example, when the patient terminal application is executed in the information processing device 1, that is, when the information processing device 1 is configured as a server and the server provides functions to the patient terminal 8 by SaaS or on-premises, the arithmetic unit 82 realizes various functions by receiving an instruction from the information processing device 1.

[0050] The operation unit 83 is an input device that receives operations on the patient screen displayed on the display unit 84 of the patient terminal 8. For example, when the patient terminal 8 is a smartphone or a tablet terminal, the operation unit 83 is a touch panel provided integrally with the display unit 84. When the patient terminal 8 is a PC, the operation unit 83 is, for example, a mouse or a keyboard.

[0051] The display unit 84 is a display device provided in the patient terminal 8. The display unit 84 is, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an organic EL (Electroluminescence) display device, a VR (Virtual Reality) display, an MR (Mixed Reality) display, or a contact lens type display.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 3, the arithmetic unit 82 includes a sensor information acquisition unit 8201, an operation information acquisition unit 8202, an information output unit 8203, an acquisition request unit 8204, a display information acquisition unit 8205, a display control unit 8206, and a load control unit 8207. When the arithmetic unit 82 executes, for example, a patient terminal application, the functions of the sensor information acquisition unit 8201, the operation information acquisition unit 8202, the information output unit 8203, the acquisition request unit 8204, the display information acquisition unit 8205, the display control unit 8206, and the load control unit 8207 are realized.

[0053] The sensor information acquisition unit 8201 acquires sensor information. Examples of the sensor information acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 include the sensor information output by the electrocardiograph 5 and the rotation detector 7.

[0054] The operation information acquisition unit 8202 acquires operation information. The operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 is information indicating the operation received by the operation unit 83.

[0055] The information output unit 8203 outputs the rehabilitation state information based on the sensor information acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 to the information processing device 1.

[0056] In addition, when rehabilitation status information can also be obtained from the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202, the information output unit 8203 outputs the rehabilitation status information based on the sensor information acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 and the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 to the information processing device 1. Examples of the rehabilitation status information obtained from the operation information include an index indicating the tightness of breathing or the intensity of exercise (Borg index), which is an index for the patient to perform an input operation on a bike exercise screen (to be described later) among the patient screens.

[0057] In addition, the information output unit 8203 outputs rehabilitation start information to the information processing device 1 based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202. That is, when the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 indicates the start of rehabilitation, the information output unit 8203 outputs the rehabilitation start information to the information processing device 1. An operation indicating the start of rehabilitation is, for example, an operation in which the patient presses a "Rehabilitation Start" button on the home screen among the patient screens.

[0058] In addition, the information output unit 8203 outputs rehabilitation end information to the information processing device 1 based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202. That is, when the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 indicates the end of rehabilitation, the information output unit 8203 outputs the rehabilitation end information to the information processing device 1. An operation indicating the end of rehabilitation is, for example, an operation in which the patient presses an "End" button on a bike exercise screen (to be described later) among the patient screens.

[0059] The acquisition request unit 8204 makes a request to the information processing device 1 to acquire display information for displaying the patient screen based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202.

[0060] The display information acquisition unit 8205 acquires the display information for displaying the patient screen from the information processing device 1.

[0061] The display control unit 8206 displays the patient screen on the display unit 84 based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 and the display information for displaying the patient screen acquired by the display information acquisition unit 8205. Examples of the patient screen displayed by the display control unit 8206 on the display unit 84 include a home screen, a resistance exercise screen, and a bike exercise screen.

[0062] The home screen is a screen for the patient to start rehabilitation. For example, the home screen is displayed on the display unit 84 after the patient logs in to the remote rehabilitation system using the patient terminal 8. A "Rehabilitation Start" button is displayed on the home screen. When the patient presses this "Rehabilitation Start" button, rehabilitation is started. When rehabilitation is started, the home screen transitions to, for example, a resistance exercise screen which is a screen for the patient to perform resistance exercises. When an operation indicating the end of the resistance exercise is made, the screen transitions to a bike exercise screen which is a screen for the patient to perform bike exercises. Note that before transitioning to the resistance exercise screen, the home screen may transition to a pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen for the patient to create a pre-exercise questionnaire and a pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen for the patient to input their pre-exercise weight and blood pressure. The pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen and the pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen will be described in Embodiment 2. Here, the case where the display control unit 8206 displays the home screen based on the display information from the information processing device 1 is shown, but it is not limited to this. The display control unit 8206 may display the home screen regardless of the display information from the information processing device 1.

[0063] The resistance exercise screen is a screen for the patient to perform resistance exercises.

[0064] The bike exercise screen is a screen for the patient to perform bike exercises.

[0065] The load control unit 8207 acquires load prescription information from the information processing apparatus 1 and performs control based on the acquired load prescription information. For example, when the load prescription information includes instruction information for resistance exercise, the load control unit 8207 selects a sample video of the type of exercise indicated by the instruction information from the above-described sample video group, and controls the display unit 84 to repeatedly display the selected sample video the number of times indicated by the instruction information. Also, for example, when the load prescription information includes load control information for cycling exercise, the load control unit 8207 controls the load value of the pedal in the bicycle 6 to be the load value of the pedal indicated by the load control information, and controls the time for the patient to pedal to be the load time indicated by the load control information.

[0066] Note that in FIG. 3, the case where the arithmetic unit 82 includes the sensor information acquisition unit 8201, the operation information acquisition unit 8202, the information output unit 8203, the acquisition request unit 8204, the display information acquisition unit 8205, the display control unit 8206, and the load control unit 8207 is shown, but the configuration example of the arithmetic unit 82 is not limited to this. For example, as described above, when the patient terminal 8 generates additional information for the information (for example, information regarding various numerical values, etc.) that is minimally required to display the patient screen, the arithmetic unit 82 may include an additional information generation unit (not shown). When the additional information generation unit acquires, as display information, the information that is minimally required to display the patient screen from the screen display information generation unit 1203, the additional information generation unit generates additional information (for example, information regarding the frame or color of the patient screen, etc.) for this display information.

[0067] The medical staff terminal 3 is a terminal that can communicate with the information processing apparatus 1 via the network 4, and is a terminal used by a medical staff who monitors rehabilitation. Examples of this medical staff terminal 3 include a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a PC.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 1, the medical staff terminal 3 includes a communication unit 31, an arithmetic unit 32, an operation unit 33, and a display unit 34.

[0069] The communication unit 31 is a communication interface for communicating with other devices such as the information processing device 1 and the like.

[0070] The arithmetic unit 32 controls the overall operation of the medical staff terminal 3. Also, for example, when a medical staff terminal application is installed on the medical staff terminal 3, the arithmetic unit 32 realizes various functions by executing the medical staff terminal application. Further, for example, when the medical staff terminal application is executed in the information processing device 1, that is, when the information processing device 1 is configured as a server and the server provides functions to the medical staff terminal 3 by SaaS or on-premises, the arithmetic unit 32 realizes various functions by receiving instructions from the information processing device 1.

[0071] The operation unit 33 is an input device that receives operations on the screen displayed on the display unit 34 in the medical staff terminal 3. For example, when the medical staff terminal 3 is a smartphone or a tablet terminal, the operation unit 33 is a touch panel provided integrally with the display unit 34. Also, when the medical staff terminal 3 is a PC, the operation unit 33 is, for example, a mouse or a keyboard.

[0072] The display unit 34 is a display device provided in the medical staff terminal 3. The display unit 34 is, for example, an LCD or an organic EL display device.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 4, the arithmetic unit 32 includes an operation information acquisition unit 3201, an acquisition request unit 3202, a display information acquisition unit 3203, a display control unit 3204, a decision instruction output unit 3205, and a storage instruction output unit 3206. When the arithmetic unit 32 executes, for example, a medical staff terminal application, the functions of the operation information acquisition unit 3201, the acquisition request unit 3202, the display information acquisition unit 3203, the display control unit 3204, the decision instruction output unit 3205, and the storage instruction output unit 3206 are realized.

[0074] The operation information acquisition unit 3201 acquires operation information. The operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201 is information indicating an operation received by the operation unit 33.

[0075] Based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201, the acquisition request unit 3202 makes a request to the information processing device 1 for acquiring display information for displaying a medical staff screen.

[0076] The display information acquisition unit 3203 acquires display information for displaying a medical staff screen from the information processing device 1.

[0077] Based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201 and the display information for displaying a medical staff screen acquired by the display information acquisition unit 3203, the display control unit 3204 displays the medical staff screen on the display unit 34. Examples of the medical staff screen displayed by the display control unit 3204 include a home screen, a patient information management screen, and a rehabilitation monitoring screen.

[0078] The home screen is a screen for a medical staff to transition to a patient information management screen or a rehabilitation monitoring screen.

[0079] The patient information management screen is a screen for a medical staff to manage various information about a patient. The load treatment plan generated by the information processing device 1 is displayed on this patient information management screen, for example.

[0080] As described above, the rehabilitation monitoring screen is a screen for displaying information about a patient during rehabilitation, and is a screen for a medical staff to monitor the patient's rehabilitation.

[0081] Based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201, the decision instruction output unit 3205 outputs a decision instruction indicating that a load prescription is to be determined to the information processing device 1. Note that when the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201 indicates an operation for determining the post-change load prescription, the determination instruction output unit 3205 outputs a determination instruction to the information processing apparatus 1 to the effect that the post-change load prescription is to be determined. Further, the determination instruction output unit 3205 outputs load prescription information indicating the post-change load prescription to the information processing apparatus 1 together with the above determination instruction.

[0082] Based on the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201, the save instruction output unit 3206 outputs a save instruction for the load prescription information indicating the post-change load prescription to the information processing apparatus 1.

[0083] Note that in FIG. 4, the case where the arithmetic unit 32 includes the operation information acquisition unit 3201, the acquisition request unit 3202, the display information acquisition unit 3203, the display control unit 3204, the determination instruction output unit 3205, and the save instruction output unit 3206 is shown, but it is not limited thereto. For example, as described above, when the medical staff terminal 3 generates additional information for the information (such as information regarding various numerical values) that is minimally required to display the medical staff screen, the arithmetic unit 32 may include an additional information generation unit (not shown). When the additional information generation unit acquires, as display information, the information that is minimally required to display the medical staff screen from the screen display information generation unit 1203, the additional information generation unit generates additional information for this display information (such as information regarding the frame or color of the medical staff screen).

[0096] Next, a basic operation example of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment for the patient terminal 8 will be described with reference to FIG. 6. Here, it is described on the premise that, as a rehabilitation exercise, the patient performs a bike exercise after a resistance exercise.

[0097] In the patient terminal 8, the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 acquires sensor information, and the information output unit 8203 outputs the rehabilitation state information based on the sensor information acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 to the information processing apparatus 1. Also, when rehabilitation state information can be obtained from the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202, for example, when the Borg index is obtained as the rehabilitation state information based on the input operation of the patient with respect to the bike exercise screen described later, the information output unit 8203 outputs the rehabilitation state information based on the sensor information acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 and the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 to the information processing apparatus 1. Further, in the information processing apparatus 1, the rehabilitation state information acquisition unit 1201 acquires the rehabilitation state information, and the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying a medical staff screen based on the rehabilitation state information, and outputs the generated display information to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0098] First, the information processing apparatus 1 displays a home screen (not shown) on the patient terminal 8 (step ST101).

[0099] Next, the information processing apparatus 1 displays a resistance exercise screen on the patient terminal 8 (step ST102). At this time, first, in the patient terminal 8, when the acquisition request unit 8204 determines that the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202, for example, indicates the display of the resistance exercise screen, the patient terminal 8 makes a request to the information processing apparatus 1 for acquiring display information for displaying the resistance exercise screen. Then, in the information processing apparatus 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the acquisition request, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying the resistance exercise screen, and outputs the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. Then, in the patient terminal 8, the display information acquisition unit 8205 acquires the display information, and the display control unit 8206 displays the resistance exercise screen on the display unit 84 based on the display information. Then, the patient performs a resistance exercise according to the demonstration video displayed on the resistance exercise screen. Also, at this time, the load control unit 8207 acquires load prescription information from the information processing apparatus 1, and controls, based on the acquired load prescription information, for example, the type of the demonstration video displayed on the resistance exercise screen and the number of times the demonstration video is repeatedly played.

[0100] In the resistance exercise screen shown in FIG. 7, a demonstration video 7-1 of the resistance exercise (the content of the demonstration video is not shown) and an "End" button 7-2 are displayed. The "End" button 7-2 is a button for ending the resistance exercise when selected by the patient.

[0101] In addition, on the resistance exercise screen shown in FIG. 7, the patient's heart rate 7-3 and the elapsed time 7-4 of the resistance exercise are also displayed.

[0102] Next, the information processing apparatus 1 displays the bike exercise screen on the patient terminal 8 (step ST103). At this time, first, in the patient terminal 8, when the acquisition request unit 8204 determines that the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202, for example, indicates the display of the bike exercise screen, the patient terminal 8 sends a request to the information processing apparatus 1 to acquire display information for displaying the bike exercise screen. Then, in the information processing apparatus 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the above acquisition request, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying the bike exercise screen, and outputs the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. Then, in the patient terminal 8, the display information acquisition unit 8205 acquires the above display information, and the display control unit 8206 displays the bike exercise screen on the display unit 84 based on the display information. Then, the patient performs the bike exercise according to the bike exercise screen. In addition, at this time, the load control unit 8207 controls the load value of the pedals and the time for pedaling (load time) on the bike 6 based on the load prescription information acquired from the information processing apparatus 1.

[0103] On the bike exercise screen shown in FIG. 8, an "End" button 8-1 is displayed. The "End" button 8-1 is a button for ending the bike exercise when selected by the patient.

[0104] Also, in the bike exercise screen shown in FIG. 8, the patient's heart rate 8-2, the elapsed time of the bike exercise 8-3, input items 8-4 for inputting the intensity of breathing, and input items 8-5 for inputting the intensity of the exercise are also displayed. In the bike exercise screen shown in FIG. 8, the intensity of breathing and the intensity of the exercise are quantified by an index called the Borg index. In these input items 8-4 and 8-5, the patient can select numerical values. For example, when the Borg index is "7", it indicates "very easy", when the Borg index is "11", it indicates "easy", and when the Borg index is "19", it indicates "very strenuous". Also, in the bike exercise screen shown in FIG. 8, an increment button and a decrement button for increasing and decreasing the numerical value of the Borg index indicating the intensity of breathing, and an increment button and a decrement button for increasing and decreasing the numerical value of the Borg index indicating the intensity of the exercise are also displayed.

[0105] Note that the bike exercise is divided into, for example, a warming-up period, a main exercise period, and a cool-down period. And on the above bike exercise screen, the exercise content for each of the above periods is displayed. The warming-up period is a period in which the patient pedals for a predetermined preparation time, and is a period in which the medical staff gradually increases the load value of the pedals from the initial value (for example, "0"). For example, during the warming-up period, the medical staff gradually increases the load value of the pedals from the initial value to the load value specified by the above load prescription information. The main exercise period is a period provided after the end of the warming-up period, and is a period in which the patient pedals for the load time specified by the above load prescription information, and is a period in which the load value of the pedals is maintained at the load value specified by the above load prescription information. The cool-down period is a period implemented after the end of the main exercise period, and is a period in which the patient stops pedaling and takes a rest.

[0106] Next, a basic operation example of the information processing apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 1 for the medical staff terminal 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 9.

[0107] First, the information processing device 1 displays a home screen on the medical staff terminal 3 (step ST201). At this time, first, when the acquisition request unit 3202 of the medical staff terminal 3 indicates that the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201, for example, indicates the display of the home screen, the acquisition request unit 3202 makes an acquisition request for display information for displaying the home screen to the information processing device 1. Then, in the information processing device 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the above acquisition request, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying the home screen, and outputs the generated display information to the medical staff terminal 3. Then, in the medical staff terminal 3, the display information acquisition unit 3203 acquires the above display information, and the display control unit 3204 displays a home screen based on the display information on the display unit 34. Then, the medical staff performs an operation on the home screen. The operation information indicating the operation on this home screen is acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 3201.

[0108] On the home screen shown in FIG. 10, for example, today's reservation list 10-1 is displayed. In this today's reservation list 10-1, the number of participants and the names of the patients who are the participants are displayed for each reservation time. Also, in this today's reservation list 10-1, a "Start" button 10-2 is displayed for each reservation time. The "Start" button 10-2 is a button for transitioning the medical staff screen from the home screen to the rehabilitation monitoring screen when selected by the medical staff.

[0109] Next, the information processing device 1 displays a patient information management screen on the medical staff terminal 3 (step ST202). For example, on the home screen shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to display a menu (not shown) for transitioning to the patient information management screen in response to an operation by a medical professional. This menu lists and displays the names of one or more screens that can be transitioned from, for example, the home screen shown in FIG. 10. The medical professional performs an operation to display the menu on the home screen shown in FIG. 10, and the menu is displayed on the home screen. When a selection operation for the patient information management screen is made by the medical professional from this menu, the medical professional's screen transitions from the home screen to the patient information management screen. At this time, first, in the medical professional's terminal 3, when the acquisition request unit 3202 determines that the operation information acquired by, for example, the operation information acquisition unit 3201 indicates the display of the patient information management screen, the acquisition request unit 3202 sends a request to the information processing device 1 to acquire display information for displaying the patient information management screen. Then, in the information processing device 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the above acquisition request, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying the patient information management screen, and outputs the generated display information to the medical professional's terminal 3. Then, in the medical professional's terminal 3, the display information acquisition unit 3203 acquires the above display information, and the display control unit 3204 displays the patient information management screen based on the display information on the display unit 34.

[0110] An example of the patient information management screen is shown in FIG. 11. The patient information management screen shown in FIG. 11 is configured to include, for example, a resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and a bike exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B. Specifically, the patient information management screen shown in FIG. 11 has, for example, a basic settings tab, a medical information tab, a resistance setting tab, and a bike exercise setting tab. Among these, the resistance setting tab is the tab selected when a medical professional sets the load prescription for a patient's resistance exercise. When this tab is selected by the medical professional, a resistance setting screen as shown in FIG. 11A is displayed, for example. The bike exercise setting tab is a tab that a medical professional selects when setting a load prescription for a patient's bike exercise. When this tab is selected by the medical professional, a bike exercise setting screen as shown in, for example, Fig. 11B is displayed.

[0111] In addition, on the resistance setting screen shown in Fig. 11A, a load prescription plan, which is a plan indicating what kind of load prescription is to be applied to the patient's current resistance exercise (here, the patient named pt1), is displayed. For example, on the screen shown in Fig. 11A, a plan is displayed in which for the patient's one-time (one session) resistance exercise, first one curl is performed for one set, and then two sit-to-stand exercises are performed for one set.

[0112] Also, on the bike exercise setting screen shown in Fig. 11B, a load prescription plan, which is a plan indicating what kind of load prescription is to be applied to the patient's current bike exercise, is displayed. For example, on the screen shown in Fig. 11B, for the patient's one-time (one session) bike exercise, first the exercise is performed with a load value of 10W and a load time (displayed as "exercise time" in the figure) of 2 minutes 00 seconds, then the exercise is performed with a load value of 15W and a load time of 2 minutes 00 seconds, and then the exercise is performed with a load value of 20W and a load time of 5 minutes 00 seconds. That is, on the screen shown in Fig. 11B, a load prescription plan in which the patient's one-time (one session) bike exercise is composed of three exercises (hereinafter referred to as "constituent exercises") with different combinations of load values and load times is displayed. Also, on the screen shown in Fig. 11B, a load prescription plan with a "warming-up period" of "yes" is displayed.

[0113] The load prescription plans for the resistance exercise and bike exercise displayed on each of the screens of Figs. 11A and 11B are generated by the information processing device 1. Hereinafter, the generation procedure of the load prescription plan by the information processing device 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 12.

[0114] In the information processing apparatus 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives an acquisition request for display information for displaying the patient information management screen of a patient (here, the patient named pt1) from the acquisition request unit 3202 of the medical staff terminal 3 (step ST301). When the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the above acquisition request, the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 of the information processing apparatus 1 acquires the patient-related information of the patient from the storage unit 13 (step ST302). When the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 acquires the patient-related information, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load prescription plan, which is a load prescription plan for resistance exercise, based on the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 (step ST303).

[0115] For example, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates the current load prescription plan by adopting the next load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 as the current load prescription plan as it is. The next load prescription is, for example, the load prescription applied when the patient performed the previous resistance exercise. For example, in the example of FIG. 11A, since the load prescription applied when the patient performed the previous resistance exercise was to perform 1 set of curl raises first and then 1 set of sit-stand exercises 2 times, the load prescription plan in the current resistance exercise is also generated with the same content as the previously applied load prescription.

[0116] Also, for example, in the example of FIG. 11B, since the load prescription applied when the patient performed the previous bike exercise was to perform the exercise with a load value of 10W and a load time of 2 minutes 00 seconds first, then perform the exercise with a load value of 15W and a load time of 2 minutes 00 seconds, and then perform the exercise with a load value of 20W and a load time of 5 minutes 00 seconds, the load prescription plan in the current bike exercise is also generated with the same content as the previously applied load prescription.

[0117] Here, an example has been described in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates the current load prescription plan directly from the next load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206. However, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 is not limited to this, and may generate a load prescription plan obtained by modifying the next load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 as the current load prescription plan. Examples in that case will be described later.

[0118] In addition, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may generate a new load prescription plan based on the patient-related information without relying on the next load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206. However, considering the burden on the patient, it is desirable that the load prescription applied to the patient is not changed significantly from the previous load prescription as much as possible. Therefore, as described above, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates the current load prescription plan by using the next load prescription included in the patient-related information as it is, or by using a load prescription obtained by modifying the next load prescription.

[0119] When the load prescription plan is generated by the load prescription plan generation unit 1207, the load prescription plan display information generation unit 1208 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates load prescription plan display information for displaying the generated load prescription plan (step ST304). Further, the load prescription plan display information generation unit 1208 outputs the generated load prescription plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3. Then, in the medical staff terminal 3, the display control unit 3204 acquires the output load prescription plan display information, and based on the acquired load prescription plan display information, displays the resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B on the display unit 34. In this case, the display control unit 3204 may display, together with the resistance setting screen and the bike exercise setting screen, a message notifying the medical staff that the load prescription plan is being displayed, such as "The load prescription plan is being displayed."

[0120] The medical staff checks the load prescription displayed on the resistance setting screen shown in Fig. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in Fig. 11B. If there is no problem with the content, the medical staff gives a decision instruction indicating that the load prescription is determined according to the load prescription plan. This decision instruction is given, for example, by the medical staff pressing an unshown "Decision" button displayed on the resistance setting screen and the bike exercise setting screen.

[0121] When the medical staff gives a decision instruction for the load prescription, the decision instruction output unit 3205 of the medical staff terminal 3 outputs the above decision instruction to the information processing device 1. In the information processing device 1, the decision instruction receiving unit 1209 receives the decision instruction (step ST305).

[0122] When the decision instruction receiving unit 1209 receives the above decision instruction and the decision instruction receiving unit 1209 does not receive load prescription information indicating a load prescription with the content of the load prescription plan changed, the load prescription information transmitting unit 1210 of the information processing device 1 transmits load prescription information indicating the content of the above load prescription plan as the content of the load prescription to the patient system 2 (step ST306).

[0123] In the above, the case where the medical staff determines the load prescription according to the load prescription plan has been described. However, the medical staff is not limited to this, and may appropriately change the content of the load prescription plan.

[0124] For example, when the medical staff checks the load prescription displayed on the resistance setting screen shown in Fig. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in Fig. 11B and changes the content, for example, the medical staff presses an unshown "Change" button displayed on the resistance setting screen and the bike exercise setting screen. Thereby, the display control unit 3204 of the medical staff terminal 3 causes the display unit 34 to display a load prescription plan change screen for the resistance exercise as shown in Fig. 13A and a load prescription plan change screen for the bike exercise as shown in Fig. 13B. Then, the medical staff sets a load prescription with the content of the load prescription plan changed through these load prescription plan change screens.

[0125] For example, in the example of FIG. 11A, as a load treatment plan for the resistance exercise, a plan of performing 1 set of 1 curl first and then 2 sets of 2 sit-to-stand exercises was displayed. However, the medical staff changes this load treatment plan to, for example, perform 1 set of 1 curl first and then 1 set of 1 sit-to-stand exercise through the load treatment plan change screen shown in FIG. 13A. That is, the medical staff reduces the number of repetitions in one set of the sit-to-stand exercise by one time. In addition, on the load treatment plan change screen shown in FIG. 13A, a movement menu selection item shown by reference numeral 13-1, a number of repetitions selection item shown by reference numeral 13-2, and a number of sets selection item shown by reference numeral 13-3 are displayed. The medical staff inputs the changed movement menu, number of repetitions, and number of sets for these items. In addition, the medical staff can also add the movement menu to be performed in one (1 session) resistance exercise by pressing the movement menu addition button shown by reference numeral 13-4, and can also delete the movement menu to be performed in one (1 session) resistance exercise by pressing the movement menu deletion button shown by reference numeral 13-5.

[0126] Similarly, the medical staff can appropriately change the load treatment plan for the bike exercise through the load treatment plan change screen shown in FIG. 13B. In addition, on the load treatment plan change screen shown in FIG. 13B, a selection item for the presence or absence of warming up shown by reference numeral 13-8, a load time selection item shown by reference numeral 13-9, and a load value selection item shown by reference numeral 13-10 are displayed. The medical staff inputs the changed presence or absence of warming up, load time, and load value for these items. In addition, the medical staff can also add the component exercise that constitutes one (1 session) bike exercise by pressing the component exercise addition button shown by reference numeral 13-11, and can also delete the component exercise that constitutes one (1 session) bike exercise by pressing the component exercise deletion button shown by reference numeral 13-12.

[0127] Then, the medical staff presses the "Determine" buttons 13-6 and 13-13 displayed on both screens to determine the changed load prescription. In this case, the determination instruction output unit 3205 of the medical staff terminal 3 transmits the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription to the information processing device 1 together with a determination instruction indicating that the changed load prescription is determined.

[0128] In the information processing device 1, the determination instruction reception unit 1209 receives the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription together with the above determination instruction. In this case, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210 of the information processing device 1 transmits the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription to the patient system 2.

[0129] In addition, when the medical staff changes the content of the load prescription plan, the medical staff can also instruct the medical staff terminal 3 to save the changed load prescription. For example, after the medical staff changes the content of the load prescription plan, the medical staff turns on the check boxes 13-7 and 13-14 displayed as "Use this setting next time" on the load prescription plan change screen to instruct the saving of the changed load prescription. At this time, the save instruction output unit 3206 of the medical staff terminal 3 outputs a save instruction for the changed load prescription to the information processing device 1.

[0130] In the information processing device 1, the load prescription save processing unit 1211 receives the above save instruction and causes the storage unit 13 to save the load prescription information indicating the changed load prescription included in the patient-related information. In this case, the changed load prescription saved in the storage unit 13 included in the patient-related information becomes the next load prescription for the patient.

[0131] On the other hand, in the patient system 2, the load control unit 8207 acquires the load prescription information transmitted from the load prescription information transmission unit 1210 of the information processing device 1. Further, based on this load prescription information, the load control unit 8207 controls, as described above, for example, the type of the sample video displayed on the resistance exercise screen and the number of repeated reproductions of the sample video, and the load value of the pedal and the time (load time) for pedaling the pedal in the bike 6.

[0132] Note that the load processing plans for the resistance exercise and the bike exercise described above are merely examples, and the load processing plans for each exercise may have other content than those described above.

[0133] After that, the process returns to step ST203 of FIG. 9 again, and the information processing apparatus 1 displays a rehabilitation monitoring screen on the medical staff terminal 3 (step ST203). At this time, first, on the medical staff terminal 3, when the acquisition request unit 3202 determines that the operation information acquired by, for example, the operation information acquisition unit 3201 indicates the display of the rehabilitation monitoring screen, the acquisition request unit 3202 makes an acquisition request for display information for displaying the rehabilitation monitoring screen to the information processing apparatus 1. On the home screen shown in FIG. 10, when the "Start" button 10-2 is selected by the medical staff, the acquisition request unit 3202 makes the above acquisition request to the information processing apparatus 1. Then, in the information processing apparatus 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the above acquisition request, and the screen display information generation unit 1203 outputs display information for displaying the rehabilitation monitoring screen to the medical staff terminal 3. Then, on the medical staff terminal 3, the display information acquisition unit 3203 acquires the above display information, and the display control unit 3204 displays a rehabilitation monitoring screen based on the display information on the display unit 34.

[0134] In addition, when the display information acquisition unit 3203 acquires display information for displaying patient information, the display control unit 3204 displays the patient information based on the display information for each patient on the rehabilitation monitoring screen.

[0135] The rehabilitation monitoring screen shown in FIG. 14 shows a screen when the display information acquisition unit 3203 has not acquired the display information for displaying patient information. As in the rehabilitation monitoring screen shown in FIG. 14, when the display information acquisition unit 3203 has not acquired the display information for displaying patient information, the screen shows that no patient information is displayed. In addition, on the rehabilitation monitoring screen shown in FIG. 14, "There is no one currently undergoing rehabilitation" is displayed in the upper left corner. On the other hand, the rehabilitation monitoring screen shown in FIG. 15 shows the screen when the display information acquisition unit 3203 acquires the display information for displaying the patient information. As in the rehabilitation monitoring screen shown in FIG. 15, when the display information acquisition unit 3203 acquires the display information for displaying the patient information, the screen on which the patient information is displayed is obtained. Note that the rehabilitation monitoring screen shown in FIG. 15 shows the screens when the above display information is acquired in the order of the patient named pt1, the patient named pt2, and the patient named pt3.

[0136] Then, the medical staff monitors the resistance exercise and the bike exercise, which are the rehabilitation exercises by the patient, by monitoring the rehabilitation monitoring screen on which such patient information is displayed.

[0137] As described above, according to the first embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load prescription plan, which is a plan for the load prescription for the rehabilitation exercise, based on the patient-related information related to the remote rehabilitation patient. In addition, the information processing apparatus 1 generates load prescription plan display information for displaying the generated load prescription plan and outputs it to the medical staff terminal 3. Thereby, the medical staff can confirm the load prescription plan generated by the information processing apparatus 1 on the medical staff terminal 3 and set the load prescription to be applied to the patient in this rehabilitation exercise based on this plan. Therefore, the medical staff does not need to set the load prescription every time as required in the past, and the complexity of the work is reduced compared to the past.

[0138] In addition, when the load prescription plan is changed by the medical staff, the information processing apparatus 1 accepts the save instruction for the load prescription (post-change load prescription) indicated by the changed load prescription plan and can save the post-change load prescription. Therefore, even when the medical staff changes the load prescription plan, the disappearance of the post-change load prescription can be prevented. In addition, the medical staff does not need to remember the content of the post-change load prescription, and the burden on the medical staff is also reduced.

[0139] As described above, according to the first embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 that acquires patient-related information related to a patient undergoing remote rehabilitation, a load prescription plan generation unit 1207 that generates a load prescription plan, which is a plan for a load prescription for rehabilitation exercises in remote rehabilitation, based on the patient-related information, and a load prescription plan display information generation unit 1208 that generates load prescription plan display information for displaying the generated load prescription plan. As a result, it is not necessary for a medical professional to set a load prescription each time in remote rehabilitation.

[0140] Also, according to the first embodiment, the remote rehabilitation is cardiac remote rehabilitation targeting patients with heart disease. As a result, it is not necessary for a medical professional to set a load prescription each time in cardiac remote rehabilitation.

[0141] Also, according to the first embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a decision instruction reception unit 1209 that receives a decision instruction indicating that the load prescription is to be determined from the medical professional terminal 3 on which the load prescription plan is displayed based on the load prescription plan display information, and a load prescription information transmission unit 1210 that transmits load prescription information, which is information indicating the load prescription, to the patient system 2. As a result, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment can receive a decision instruction indicating that the load prescription is to be determined and transmit the load prescription information, which is information indicating the load prescription, to the patient system 2. Also, a medical professional can determine the load prescription after confirming the load prescription plan generated by the load prescription plan generation unit 1207.

[0142] Also, according to the first embodiment, when the decision instruction reception unit 1209 receives the decision instruction from the medical professional terminal 3 and does not receive the load prescription information, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210 transmits the load prescription information indicating the content of the load prescription plan as the content of the load prescription to the patient system 2. As a result, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment The load prescription plan can be directly determined as the load prescription, and the load prescription information indicating the load prescription can be transmitted to the patient system 2. Also, after the medical staff confirms the load prescription plan generated by the load prescription plan generation unit 1207, the medical staff can directly determine the load prescription plan as the load prescription.

[0143] Also, according to Embodiment 1, the determination instruction reception unit 1209 receives, from the medical staff terminal 3, the load prescription information indicating the load prescription whose content of the above load prescription plan has been changed and the above determination instruction. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 1 can determine the load prescription whose content of the load prescription plan has been changed, and transmit the load prescription information indicating the load prescription to the patient system 2. Also, after the medical staff confirms the load prescription plan generated by the load prescription plan generation unit 1207, the medical staff can determine the modified plan of the load prescription plan as the load prescription.

[0144] Also, according to Embodiment 1, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a load prescription storage processing unit 1211 that receives a storage instruction of load prescription information from the medical staff terminal 3 and stores the load prescription in the storage unit 13 included in the patient-related information. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 1 can store the load prescription after the content of the load prescription plan has been changed. Also, the medical staff can prevent the disappearance of the load prescription after the content of the load prescription plan has been changed, and there is no need to remember the content of the modified load prescription, thus reducing the burden on the medical staff.

[0145] Also, according to Embodiment 1, the program causes the computer to function as the information processing apparatus 1 as described above. Thereby, the program can cause the computer to function as the information processing apparatus 1 in which it is not necessary for the medical staff to set the load prescription each time in remote rehabilitation.

[0146] Further, according to Embodiment 1, the remote rehabilitation system includes the information processing apparatus 1 as described above, a medical staff terminal 3 that acquires load prescription plan display information from the information processing apparatus 1, and a patient system 2 that acquires load prescription information, which is information indicating a load prescription, from the information processing apparatus 1. As a result, it is not necessary for the medical staff to set a load prescription every time in remote rehabilitation.

[0147] Further, according to Embodiment 1, an information processing method executed by a computer is an information processing method executed by the information processing apparatus 1, and includes a step of acquiring, by a patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, patient-related information related to a patient in remote rehabilitation, a step of generating, by a load prescription plan generation unit 1207, a load prescription plan, which is a plan for a load prescription for rehabilitation exercises in remote rehabilitation, based on the patient-related information, and a step of generating, by a load prescription plan display information generation unit 1208, load prescription plan display information for displaying the generated load prescription plan. As a result, it is not necessary for the medical staff to set a load prescription every time in remote rehabilitation.

[0148] Embodiment 2. In Embodiment 2, an example will be described in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load prescription plan based on information indicating the result of an interview conducted before the start of a patient's rehabilitation exercise. Note that the configuration examples of the information processing apparatus 1, the patient system 2, and the medical staff terminal 3 included in the remote rehabilitation system according to Embodiment 2 are the same as the configuration examples of the remote rehabilitation system according to Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1.

[0149] The load prescription plan generation unit 1207 in Embodiment 2 generates a load prescription plan based on information indicating the result of an interview with the patient conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, before the patient starts the rehabilitation exercise.

[0150] Here, the interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise for the patient will be briefly described. First, before the patient starts the rehabilitation exercise, that is, before the resistance exercise screen is displayed on the patient terminal 8, the information processing apparatus 1 displays a pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen. At this time, first, in the patient terminal 8, when the acquisition request unit 8204 determines that the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202, for example, indicates the display of the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen, the patient terminal 8 sends a request to the information processing apparatus 1 to acquire the display information for displaying the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen. Then, in the information processing apparatus 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the above acquisition request, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates the display information for displaying the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen, and outputs the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. Then, in the patient terminal 8, the display information acquisition unit 8205 acquires the above display information, and the display control unit 8206 displays the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen on the display unit 84 based on the display information. Then, the patient uses the operation unit 83 to input an answer to the questionnaire items displayed on the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen into the patient terminal 8. The operation information indicating the input operation in this case is acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202.

[0151] FIG. 16 shows an example of the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen. In the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen shown in FIG. 16, answer items 16-1 for answering each questionnaire and a "complete" button 16-2 are displayed. In the answer item 16-1, the patient can select a "yes" button or a "no" button. The "complete" button 16-2 is a button for completing the creation of the pre-exercise questionnaire when selected by the patient.

[0152] Thereafter, in the patient terminal 8, the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 starts acquiring sensor information, and the information output unit 8203 starts outputting the rehabilitation status information based on the sensor information acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 to the information processing device 1. When rehabilitation status information can also be obtained from the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202, for example, when the Borg index is obtained as rehabilitation status information based on the input operation of the patient on the bike exercise screen shown in FIG. 8, the information output unit 8203 outputs the rehabilitation status information based on the sensor information acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201 and the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 to the information processing device 1. Also, in the information processing device 1, the rehabilitation status information acquisition unit 1201 acquires the above-mentioned rehabilitation status information, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying a medical staff screen based on the rehabilitation status information, and outputs the generated display information to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0153] Next, the information processing device 1 displays a pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen on the patient terminal 8. At this time, first, in the patient terminal 8, when the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 indicates the completion of creating the pre-exercise questionnaire, the acquisition request unit 8204 makes a request to the information processing device 1 for acquiring display information for displaying the pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen. On the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen shown in FIG. 16, when the "complete" button 16-2 is selected by the patient, the acquisition request unit 8204 makes the above-mentioned acquisition request to the information processing device 1. Then, in the information processing device 1, the acquisition request reception unit 1202 receives the above-mentioned acquisition request, the screen display information generation unit 1203 generates display information for displaying the pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen, and outputs the generated display information to the patient terminal 8. Then, on the patient terminal 8, the display information acquisition unit 8205 acquires the above display information, and the display control unit 8206 displays a pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen on the display unit 84 based on the display information. Then, the patient uses the operation unit 83 to perform operations on the pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen, thereby inputting the weight and blood pressure. The operation information, which is information indicating the operations on the pre-exercise weight and blood pressure input screen, is acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202.

[0154] In the weight and blood pressure input screen shown in FIG. 17, an input item 17-1 for inputting weight, an input item 17-2 for inputting blood pressure, a "Back" button 17-3, and a "Complete" button 17-4 are displayed. In the input items 17-1 and 17-2, the patient can input numerical values. In the weight and blood pressure input screen shown in FIG. 17, a numeric keypad button 17-5 for the patient to input numerical values for the input items is also displayed. The "Back" button 17-3 is a button that, when selected by the patient, causes the patient screen to transition from the weight and blood pressure input screen to the pre-exercise questionnaire creation screen, which is the previous screen. The "Complete" button 17-4 is a button that, when selected by the patient, completes the input of the weight and blood pressure.

[0155] After that, when the operation information acquired by the operation information acquisition unit 8202 indicates the completion of the input of the weight and blood pressure, the information output unit 8203 uses the information indicating the patient's answers to the pre-exercise questionnaire and the information indicating the patient's weight and blood pressure as information indicating the results of the above questionnaire (hereinafter referred to as "questionnaire result information"), and includes the questionnaire result information in the rehabilitation status information and outputs it to the information processing device 1. Note that the questionnaire result information may include, in addition to the information indicating the patient's answers to the pre-exercise questionnaire and the information indicating the patient's weight and blood pressure, information indicating the patient's heart rate at the time of the questionnaire, which is acquired by the sensor information acquisition unit 8201. On the weight and blood pressure input screen shown in FIG. 17, when the "Complete" button 17-4 is selected by the patient, the information output unit 8203 uses, as the consultation result information, the information indicating the patient's response to the pre-exercise questionnaire, the information indicating the patient's weight and blood pressure, and the information indicating the patient's heart rate during the consultation, and outputs the consultation result information to the information processing device 1 including it in the rehabilitation status information.

[0156] On the other hand, in the information processing device 1, the rehabilitation status information acquisition unit 1201 acquires the rehabilitation status information, and stores the acquired rehabilitation status information in the storage unit 13 including it in the patient-related information. Also, in the information processing device 1, the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 acquires patient-related information from the storage unit 13. Then, in the information processing device 1, based on the above consultation result information among the rehabilitation status information included in the acquired patient-related information, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10 W to -1 W with respect to the load value of the bike exercise indicated by the load prescription (that is, the next load prescription) included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. Also, based on the above consultation result information, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load time is increased or decreased in the range of -5 minutes to +1 minute with respect to the load time of the bike exercise indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise.

[0157] Here, an example of specific judgment items indicating when to increase or decrease the load value and load time when the result of the above consultation is such a result will be described. As judgment items, for example, the items shown in the following (1) to (5) can be mentioned. (1) Persistence of fatigue (2) Residual fatigue degree of the previous day (3) Tendency of weight gain (for example, 2 kg or more in one week) (4) Increase in heart rate at rest of 10 bpm or more (5) Tendency of increase in blood NT-proBNP (increase of 100 pg / mL or more compared to the previous time)

[0158] (1) Persistence of fatigue For example, when it is determined from the result of the above interview that the patient's fatigue persists, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 reduces the load value shown in the load prescription included in the patient-related information obtained before the start of the rehabilitation exercise within the range of -10 W to -1 W, and reduces the load time shown in the load prescription within the range of -5 minutes to -1 minute, and generates a load prescription plan.

[0159] For example, when it is determined from the result of the above interview that the patient's fatigue persists, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 reduces the load value by 5 W with respect to the load value shown in the load prescription included in the patient-related information obtained before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, and reduces the load time by 2 minutes with respect to the load time shown in the load prescription, and generates a load prescription plan. On the other hand, when it is determined from the result of the above interview that the patient's fatigue does not persist, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 does not change the load value shown in the load prescription included in the patient-related information obtained before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, and uses the load prescription as the load prescription plan as it is. In the above example, when it is determined that the patient's fatigue persists, an example in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 reduces the load value by 5 W and reduces the load time by 2 minutes has been described. In this case, however, the reduction range indicating how much the load value and the load time are reduced is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the ranges of -10 W to -1 W and -5 minutes to -1 minute described above.

[0160] Note that in the above case, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may quantify the patient's answer to the above interview items included in the interview result information based on a predetermined mathematical formula, and when the numerical value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, determine that the patient's fatigue persists. In addition, when the numerical value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may determine that the patient's fatigue persists more strongly as the difference between the numerical value and the threshold value is larger, and increase the reduction range of the load value and the load time (that is, lighten the patient's burden).

[0161] (2) Residual fatigue level of the previous day For example, when it is determined from the result of the above medical interview that the patient's fatigue level since the previous day remains, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10W to -1W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information obtained before the start of the rehabilitation exercise.

[0162] For example, when it is determined from the result of the above medical interview that the patient's fatigue level since the previous day remains, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased by 5W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information obtained before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when it is determined from the result of the above medical interview that the patient's fatigue level since the previous day does not remain, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 does not change the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information obtained before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, and uses the load prescription as it is as the load prescription plan. In the above example, when it is determined that the patient's fatigue level since the previous day remains, an example in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 decreases the load value by 5W has been described. However, in this case, the reduction range indicating how much the load value is decreased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the range of -10W to -1W described above.

[0163] Note that in the above case, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may quantify the patient's answer to the above medical interview items included in the medical interview result information based on a predetermined mathematical formula, and when the numerical value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, determine that the patient's fatigue level since the previous day remains. Further, when the numerical value is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines that the stronger the patient's fatigue level remains since the previous day as the difference between the numerical value and the threshold value is larger, and may increase the reduction range of the load value (that is, lighten the patient's burden).

[0164] (3) Tendency of weight gain (for example, 2 kg or more in one week) For example, when it is determined from the result of the above interview that the patient's weight is on an increasing trend, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10 W to -1 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise.

[0165] For example, when it is determined from the result of the above interview that the patient's weight is on an increasing trend, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased by 5 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when it is determined from the result of the above interview that the patient's weight is not on an increasing trend, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 does not change the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, and uses the load prescription as the load prescription plan as it is. In the above example, when it is determined that the patient's weight is on an increasing trend, an example in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 decreases the load value by 5 W has been described. However, in this case, the decrease range indicating how much the load value is decreased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the range of -10 W to -1 W described above.

[0166] In the above case, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may compare the weight of the patient included in the interview result information with the weight of the patient one week before included in the patient-related information, and determine that the patient's weight is on an increasing trend when the former has increased by a predetermined value (for example, 2 kg) or more from the latter. Further, when the former has increased by a predetermined value (for example, 2 kg) or more from the latter, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may increase the decrease range of the load value (that is, lighten the burden on the patient) as the difference between the former and the latter is larger.

[0167] (4) The increase in the heart rate at rest is 10 bpm or more For example, when it is determined from the result of the above interview that the increase in the patient's heart rate at rest is 10 bpm or more, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10 W to -1 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise.

[0168] For example, when the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines, based on the result of the above medical interview, that the increase in the heart rate at rest of the patient is 10 bpm or more, it generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased by 5 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines, based on the result of the above medical interview, that the increase in the heart rate at rest of the patient is not 10 bpm or more, it does not change the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, and uses the load prescription as the load prescription plan as it is. In the above example, when it is determined that the increase in the heart rate at rest of the patient is 10 bpm or more, an example in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 decreases the load value by 5 W has been described. However, in this case, the decrease range indicating how much the load value is decreased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the range of -10 W to -1 W described above.

[0169] Note that in the above case, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 monitors the heart rate of the patient during the medical interview included in the medical interview result information for a certain period of time. If there is a time during which the increase in the heart rate is 10 bpm or more within the certain period of time, it may generate a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased within the range of -10 W to -1 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. Further, when there is a time during which the increase in the heart rate is 10 bpm or more within the above certain period of time, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may increase the decrease range of the load value (that is, lighten the burden on the patient) as the increase range is larger.

[0170] (5) Blood NT-proBNP shows an increasing trend (an increase of 100 pg / mL or more compared to the previous time) For example, when the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines that the patient's blood NT-proBNP shows an increasing trend (for example, an increase of 100 pg / mL or more compared to the previous time), it generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased within the range of -10 W to -1 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise.

[0171] For example, when it is determined that the patient's blood NT-proBNP is on an upward trend, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased by 5 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines that the patient's blood NT-proBNP is not on an upward trend, it does not change the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise, and uses the load prescription as the load prescription plan as it is. In the above example, when it is determined that the patient's blood NT-proBNP is on an upward trend, an example where the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 decreases the load value by 5 W has been described. However, in this case, the decrease range indicating how much the load value is decreased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the range of -10 W to -1 W described above.

[0172] Note that, for the determination item in (5) above, the results of the patient's blood test are required. Therefore, for example, the information processing device 1 may communicate with an external medical institution capable of collecting blood from the patient and performing a blood test, and acquire information indicating the results of the blood test that the patient underwent prior to the implementation of the rehabilitation exercise from the medical institution. Further, the information processing device 1 may include the information indicating the acquired blood test results in the patient interview result information. Also, in that case, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing device 1 may determine that the patient's blood NT-proBNP is on an upward trend based on the information indicating the results of the blood test included in the interview result information. Also, for example, when the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines that the patient's blood NT-proBNP is on an upward trend, the greater the upward amplitude, the greater the decrease range of the load value (that is, the lighter the burden on the patient) may be.

[0173] In the above judgment items (1) to (5), the range of -10W to -1W exemplified as the reduction range of the load value indicates the range that can be taken as the reduction range of the load value. In this regard, as a more realistic reduction range of the load value, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 may reduce the load value within a range of, for example, -2W to -1W.

[0174] In the above description, an example has been described in which the load processing plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load processing plan for reducing the load value and load time of the motorcycle 6 in motorcycle exercise. However, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 is not limited to this, and may generate, for example, a load processing plan for changing the type of sample video and the number of repeated playback times in resistance exercise. Further, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 may generate a load processing plan for changing both the load value and load time of the motorcycle 6 in motorcycle exercise and the type of sample video and the number of repeated playback times in resistance exercise.

[0175] Also, the judgment items (1) to (5) and the reduction range of the load value and load time described above are merely examples, and the judgment items and the reduction range of the load value and load time may be other than the above.

[0176] The flow of processing after the load processing plan is generated by the load processing plan generation unit 1207 is basically the same as that in the first embodiment. For example, the load processing plan display information generation unit 1208 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates load processing plan display information for displaying the load processing plan generated by the load processing plan generation unit 1207, and outputs the generated load processing plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0177] Then, in the medical staff terminal 3, the display control unit 3204 acquires the output load processing plan display information, and based on the acquired load processing plan display information, displays the resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and the motorcycle exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B on the display unit 34. In this case, the display control unit 3204 may display, on the resistance setting screen and the bike exercise setting screen, a message notifying the medical staff that a load treatment plan generated based on the interview results is being displayed, such as "A load treatment plan generated based on the interview results is being displayed." Also, in this case, the display control unit 3204 may display, on the resistance setting screen and the bike exercise setting screen, information indicating how much the actual load value and load time have been reduced. The medical staff checks the load treatment plan displayed on the resistance setting screen shown in Fig. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in Fig. 11B, and decides to use the load treatment plan as it is as the load prescription, or decides the modified content of the load treatment plan as the load prescription.

[0178] When a decision instruction for the load prescription is given by the medical staff, the decision instruction output unit 3205 of the medical staff terminal 3 outputs the decision instruction to the information processing device 1. In the information processing device 1, the decision instruction reception unit 1209 receives the decision instruction. Then, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210 of the information processing device 1 transmits load prescription information indicating the content of the determined load prescription to the patient system 2.

[0179] As described above, according to the second embodiment, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 generates a load treatment plan based on information indicating the results of the interview with the patient conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. Thereby, the information processing device 1 according to the second embodiment can generate a load treatment plan reflecting the results of the interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. Also, the medical staff can check the load treatment plan reflecting the results of the interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise.

[0180] Further, according to Embodiment 2, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10 W to -1 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 2 can generate a load prescription plan that reflects the result of the interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise in the load value. Further, the medical staff can confirm a load prescription plan in which the result of the interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise is reflected in the load value.

[0181] Further, according to Embodiment 2, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load time is decreased in the range of -5 minutes to -1 minute with respect to the load time indicated by the load prescription included in the patient-related information acquired before the start of the rehabilitation exercise. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 2 can generate a load prescription plan that reflects the result of the interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise in the load time. Further, the medical staff can confirm a load prescription plan in which the result of the interview conducted before the start of the rehabilitation exercise is reflected in the load time.

[0182] Embodiment 3. In Embodiment 3, an example will be described in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load prescription plan based on the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. Note that the configuration examples of the information processing apparatus 1, the patient system 2, and the medical staff terminal 3 included in the remote rehabilitation system according to Embodiment 3 are the same as the configuration examples of the remote rehabilitation system according to Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1.

[0183] The load prescription plan generation unit 1207 in Embodiment 3 generates a load prescription plan based on the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise while the patient is performing the rehabilitation exercise. For example, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan based on the rehabilitation state information acquired from the patient terminal 8 while the patient is performing the rehabilitation exercise.

[0184] More specifically, the information output unit 8203 of the patient terminal 8 outputs the rehabilitation state information of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise to the information processing device 1 at any time. On the other hand, in the information processing device 1, the rehabilitation state information acquisition unit 1201 acquires the above-mentioned rehabilitation state information, and stores the acquired rehabilitation state information in the storage unit 13 including it in the patient-related information. Further, in the information processing device 1, the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 acquires the patient-related information from the storage unit 13. And in the information processing device 1, based on the rehabilitation state information included in the acquired patient-related information, that is, the rehabilitation state information acquired from the patient terminal 8 while the patient is performing the rehabilitation exercise, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value of the bike exercise indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise is increased or decreased in the range of -10 W to +5 W. In addition, based on the rehabilitation state information acquired from the patient terminal 8 while the patient is performing the rehabilitation exercise, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load time of the bike exercise indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise is increased in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes.

[0185] Note that the load prescription generation unit 1207 of the information processing device 1 may determine that the patient is in the rehabilitation exercise when the rehabilitation start information is acquired from the patient terminal 8 by, for example, the rehabilitation start information acquisition unit 1204 and the rehabilitation end information is not acquired from the patient terminal 8 by the rehabilitation end information acquisition unit 1205.

[0186] Here, an example of a specific determination item indicating in what state the patient is during the rehabilitation exercise when the load value and the load time are increased or decreased will be described. Examples of the determination items include the items shown in the following (1) to (4). (1) The heart rate increases by 10 bpm or more compared to normal at the same load. (2) The Borg index increases by 2 or more compared to normal at the same load. (3) The Borg index is 15 or more. (4) The Borg index is 10 or less.

[0187] (1) When the heart rate during rehabilitation exercise of a patient increases by 10 bpm or more compared to normal under the same load For example, based on the rehabilitation state information acquired from the patient terminal 8 during the patient's rehabilitation exercise, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 monitors the heart rate of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. Then, for this patient, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 calculates the average value of the heart rate when the patient previously performed rehabilitation exercise at the same load value as the currently applied load value, and compares the calculated average value with the heart rate of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. As a result, when the heart rate of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 10 bpm or more compared to the above-calculated average value, a load prescription plan is generated in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10 W to -1 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise.

[0188] For example, when the heart rate of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 10 bpm or more compared to the above-calculated average value, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased by 5 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when the heart rate of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise does not rise by 10 bpm or more compared to the above-calculated average value, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 does not change the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. In the above example, when the heart rate of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 10 bpm or more compared to the above-calculated average value, an example in which the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 decreases the load value by 5 W has been described. However, in this case, the decrease range indicating how much the load value is decreased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the range of -10 W to -1 W described above.

[0189] Note that when the heart rate of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 10 bpm or more compared to the above-calculated average value, the greater the increase range, the greater the decrease range of the load value (that is, the lighter the burden on the patient) may be for the load prescription plan generation unit 1207.

[0190] (2) When the Borg index during rehabilitation exercise of a patient increases by 2 or more compared to normal under the same load For example, the load prescription generation unit 1207 monitors the Borg index of a patient during rehabilitation exercise based on the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8 during the patient's rehabilitation exercise. Then, for this patient, the load prescription generation unit 1207 calculates the average value of the Borg index when the patient performed rehabilitation exercise in the past with the same load value as the currently applied load value, and compares the calculated average value with the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. As a result, when the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 2 or more compared to the above-calculated average value, a load prescription plan is generated in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10W to -1W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise.

[0191] For example, when the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 2 or more compared to the above-calculated average value, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased by 5W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise does not rise by 2 or more compared to the above-calculated average value, the load prescription generation unit 1207 does not change the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. In the above example, when the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 2 or more compared to the above-calculated average value, an example in which the load prescription generation unit 1207 decreases the load value by 5W has been described. However, in this case, the reduction range indicating how much the load value is to be decreased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the range of -10W to -1W described above.

[0192] Note that when the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise rises by 2 or more compared to the above-calculated average value, the greater the increase, the greater the reduction range of the load value (that is, the lighter the burden on the patient) may be. Also, in this case, the Borg index may be a Borg index indicating the tightness of breathing or a Borg index indicating the intensity of exercise.

[0193] (3) Borg index is 15 or more For example, the load prescription generation unit 1207 checks whether the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 15 or more based on the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8 during the patient's rehabilitation exercise. Then, when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 15 or more, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased in the range of -10W to -1W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during rehabilitation exercise.

[0194] For example, when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 15 or more, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is decreased by 5W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is less than 15, the load prescription generation unit 1207 does not change the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during rehabilitation exercise. In the above example, the case where the load prescription generation unit 1207 decreases the load value by 5W when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 15 or more has been described. However, in this case, the decrease width indicating how much the load value is decreased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the range of -10W to -1W described above.

[0195] Note that when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 15 or more, the load prescription generation unit 1207 may increase the decrease width of the load value (that is, lighten the burden on the patient) as the value is larger. Also, in this case, the Borg index may be the Borg index indicating the tightness of breathing or the Borg index indicating the intensity of exercise.

[0196] (4) Borg index is 10 or less For example, the load prescription generation unit 1207 checks whether the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 10 or less based on the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8 during the patient's rehabilitation exercise. Then, when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 10 or less, the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during rehabilitation exercise within the range of +1W to +5W, and increases the load time within the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes with respect to the load time indicated by the load prescription, and generates a load prescription plan.

[0197] For example, when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 10 or less, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value is increased by 3W and the load time is increased by 3 minutes with respect to the load value and the load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is not 10 or less, the load prescription generation unit 1207 does not change the load value and the load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during rehabilitation exercise. In the above example, when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 10 or less, an example in which the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value by 3W and increases the load time by 3 minutes has been described. In this case, however, the increase range indicating how much the load value and the load time are increased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the ranges of +1W to +5W and +1 minute to +5 minutes described above.

[0198] Note that when the Borg index of the patient during rehabilitation exercise is 10 or less, the load prescription generation unit 1207 may increase the increase range of the load value (that is, increase the burden on the patient) as the value is smaller. Also, the Borg index in this case may be the Borg index indicating the intensity of breathing or the Borg index indicating the intensity of exercise.

[0199] In addition, in the above determination items (1) to (3), the range of -10W to -1W exemplified as the decrease range of the load value indicates the range that the decrease range of the load value can take. In this regard, as a more realistic decrease range of the load value, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 may decrease the load value, for example, in the range of -2W to -1W. Also, in the above determination item (4), the range of +1W to +5W exemplified as the increase range of the load value indicates the range that the increase range of the load value can take. In this regard, as a more realistic increase range of the load value, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 may increase the load value, for example, in the range of +1W to +2W.

[0200] Note that in the above example, an example in which the load processing plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load processing plan in which the load value and load time of the bike 6 in the bike exercise are increased or decreased has been described. However, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 is not limited to this, and for example, it may generate a load processing plan in which the type and repeated playback times of the sample video in the resistance exercise are changed. Further, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 may generate a load processing plan in which both the load value and load time of the bike 6 in the bike exercise and the type and repeated playback times of the sample video in the resistance exercise are changed.

[0201] Also, the determination items (1) to (4) and the increase and decrease ranges of the load value and load time described above are merely examples, and the determination items and the increase and decrease ranges of the load value and load time may be other contents than the above.

[0202] The processing flow after the load processing plan is generated by the load processing plan generation unit 1207 is basically the same as that in the first embodiment. For example, the load processing plan display information generation unit 1208 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates load processing plan display information for displaying the load processing plan generated by the load processing plan generation unit 1207, and outputs the generated load processing plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0203] Then, on the medical staff terminal 3, the display control unit 3204 acquires the output load treatment plan display information, and based on the acquired load treatment plan display information, displays a resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and a bike exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B on the display unit 34. The medical staff checks the load treatment plan displayed on the resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B, and decides whether to determine the load treatment plan as it is as the load prescription, or to determine the modified content of the load treatment plan as the load prescription, or to discard (not adopt) the load treatment plan.

[0204] However, in the third embodiment, the medical staff may have closed the patient information management screen including the resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B on the medical staff terminal 3, and caused the display unit 34 to display the rehabilitation monitoring screen shown in FIG. 15. Therefore, the display control unit 3204 of the medical staff terminal 3 may generate a notification screen (for example, a pop-up screen) for displaying the load treatment plan generated by the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 based on the output load treatment plan display information, and superimpose and display the generated notification screen on the rehabilitation monitoring screen. In this case, the display control unit 3204 may also display information indicating how much the load value and the load time have actually been increased or decreased. The medical staff checks the load treatment plan displayed on the notification screen, and may decide whether to determine the load treatment plan as it is as the load prescription, or to determine the modified content of the load treatment plan as the load prescription, or to discard (not adopt) the load treatment plan.

[0205] In addition, when a medical professional determines the above load prescription plan as the load prescription as it is, or determines the content obtained by changing the above load prescription plan as the load prescription, the load prescription information transmission unit 1210 of the information processing apparatus 1 transmits load prescription information indicating the content of the determined load prescription to the patient system 2. Then, in the patient system 2, the load prescription is immediately applied, and the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise is changed to the determined load prescription.

[0206] As described above, according to the third embodiment, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan based on the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise while the patient is performing the rehabilitation exercise. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment can generate a load prescription plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. In addition, the medical professional can confirm the load prescription plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise.

[0207] Also, according to the third embodiment, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load value indicated by the load prescription applied during the rehabilitation exercise is increased or decreased in the range of -10 W to +5 W. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment can generate a load prescription plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load value. In addition, the medical professional can confirm the load prescription plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load value.

[0208] Also, according to the third embodiment, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load time indicated by the load prescription applied during the rehabilitation exercise is increased in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the third embodiment can generate a load prescription plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load time. In addition, the medical professional can confirm the load prescription plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load time.

[0209] Embodiment 4. In Embodiment 4, an example will be described in which the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load treatment plan to be applied during the next rehabilitation exercise after the patient's rehabilitation exercise ends. Note that the configuration examples of the information processing apparatus 1, the patient system 2, and the medical staff terminal 3 included in the remote rehabilitation system according to Embodiment 4 are the same as the configuration examples of the remote rehabilitation system according to Embodiment 1 shown in FIG. 1.

[0210] The load treatment plan generation unit 1207 in Embodiment 4 generates a load treatment plan for the next rehabilitation exercise based on the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise after the patient has completed the rehabilitation exercise.

[0211] More specifically, the information output unit 8203 of the patient terminal 8 outputs the rehabilitation state information of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise to the information processing apparatus 1 at any time. On the other hand, in the information processing apparatus 1, the rehabilitation state information acquisition unit 1201 acquires the rehabilitation state information and stores the acquired rehabilitation state information in the storage unit 13 included in the patient-related information. Further, in the information processing apparatus 1, the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 acquires the patient-related information from the storage unit 13.

[0212] Then, in the information processing apparatus 1, after the patient has completed the rehabilitation exercise, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 generates a load treatment plan in which the load value is increased in the range of +1W to +5W with respect to the load value of the bike exercise indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, based on the rehabilitation state information included in the acquired patient-related information, that is, the rehabilitation state information acquired from the patient terminal 8 while the patient is performing the rehabilitation exercise. In this case, when the load prescription applied to the patient during the bike exercise is composed of a plurality (for example, three) of consecutive component exercises in time series, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 may generate a load treatment plan in which the load value is increased in the range of +1W to +5W with respect to the load value in one or more of the plurality of component exercises. For example, the load prescription generation unit 1207 may generate a load prescription plan in which the load value is increased in the range of +1 W to +5 W for the load values in all of the plurality of component motions, or may generate a load prescription plan in which the load value is increased in the range of +1 W to +5 W for the load value in the last component motion in the time series among the plurality of component motions.

[0213] In addition, while the patient is performing rehabilitation exercises, based on the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan in which the load time of the bike exercise indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise is increased in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes. In this case, when the load prescription applied to the patient during the bike exercise is composed of a plurality (for example, three) of component motions that are continuous in time series, the load prescription generation unit 1207 may generate a load prescription plan in which the load time is increased in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes for the load time in one or more of the plurality of component motions. For example, the load prescription generation unit 1207 may generate a load prescription plan in which the load time is increased in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes for the load times in all of the plurality of component motions, or may generate a load prescription plan in which the load time is increased in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes for the load time in the last component motion in the time series among the plurality of component motions.

[0214] Note that the load prescription generation unit 1207 may determine that the patient has finished the rehabilitation exercise when the rehabilitation start information is acquired from the patient terminal 8 by the rehabilitation start information acquisition unit 1204, for example, and the rehabilitation end information is acquired from the patient terminal 8 by the rehabilitation end information acquisition unit 1205.

[0215] Here, an example of a specific determination item indicating when to increase or decrease the load value and the load time when the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise is in what state will be described. Examples of the determination items include the items shown in the following (1) to (3). (1) The Borg index is 11 or less with the load increased (2) In four or more consecutive sessions, the load value and load time have not been increased, and the Borg index is 12 - 13 (3) In four or more consecutive sessions, the load value and load time have not been increased, the Borg index is 12 - 13, and the heart rate has not reached the target heart rate

[0216] (1) The Borg index is 11 or less with the load increased For example, the load prescription generation unit 1207 checks whether the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to this patient is higher (increased) than the load value indicated by the load prescription applied during the previous rehabilitation exercise based on the patient - related information. Also, the load prescription generation unit 1207 checks what the maximum value of the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise was based on the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8 during the patient's rehabilitation exercise.

[0217] As a result, when the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to this patient is higher than the load value indicated by the load prescription applied during the previous rehabilitation exercise and the maximum value of the Borg index is 11 or less, the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value in the range of +1W to +5W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, and generates a load prescription plan that increases the load time in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes with respect to the load time indicated by the said load prescription.

[0218] For example, if the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient is higher than the load value indicated by the load prescription applied during the previous rehabilitation exercise, and the maximum value of the Borg index is 11 or less, the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value by 3 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, and generates a load prescription plan in which the load time is increased by 3 minutes with respect to the load time indicated by the load prescription. On the other hand, if the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient is not higher than the load value indicated by the load prescription applied during the previous rehabilitation exercise, or if the maximum value of the Borg index is not 11 or less, the load prescription generation unit 1207 does not change the load value and the load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, and uses the load prescription as the load prescription plan as it is. In the above example, the case where the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient is higher than the load value indicated by the load prescription applied during the previous rehabilitation exercise, and the maximum value of the Borg index is 11 or less, and the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value by 3 W and the load time by 3 minutes has been described. However, in this case, the increase range indicating how much the load value and the load time are increased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the ranges of +1 W to +5 W and +1 minute to +5 minutes described above. Note that the load prescription generation unit 1207 may increase the increase ranges of the load value and the load time (that is, increase the burden on the patient) as the maximum value of the Borg index is smaller.

[0219] (2) In four or more consecutive sessions, the load value and the load time have not been increased, and the Borg index is 12 to 13 For example, the load prescription generation unit 1207 checks whether the load value and the load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient have been increased (raised) even once in four or more consecutive sessions including the current session performed by the patient. In addition, the load prescription generation unit 1207 checks the maximum value of the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise based on the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8 during the patient's rehabilitation exercise in the current session.

[0220] As a result, in the most recent four or more consecutive sessions including the current session attended by the patient, if the load value and load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient have not been increased at all, and the maximum value of the Borg index is 12 to 13, the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value by +1 W to +5 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, and increases the load time by +1 minute to +5 minutes with respect to the load time indicated by the load prescription, and generates a load prescription plan.

[0221] For example, when in the most recent four or more consecutive sessions including the current session attended by the patient, the load value and load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient have not been increased at all, and the maximum value of the Borg index is 12 to 13, the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value by 3 W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, and increases the load time by 3 minutes with respect to the load time indicated by the load prescription, and generates a load prescription plan. On the other hand, when in the most recent four or more consecutive sessions including the current session attended by the patient, the load value and load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient have been increased even once, or when the maximum value of the Borg index is not 12 to 13, the load prescription generation unit 1207 does not change the load value and load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise, and uses the load prescription as the load prescription plan as it is. In the above example, when in the most recent four or more consecutive sessions including the current session attended by the patient, the load value and load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient have not been increased at all, and the maximum value of the Borg index is 12 to 13, an example in which the load prescription generation unit 1207 increases the load value by 3 W and increases the load time by 3 minutes has been described. However, in this case, the increase range indicating how much the load value and load time are increased is arbitrarily selected by the medical staff within the ranges of +1 W to +5 W and +1 minute to +5 minutes described above. Note that the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 may increase the increase widths of the load value and the load time (i.e., increase the burden on the patient) as the maximum value of the Borg index is smaller.

[0222] (3) In four or more consecutive sessions, the load value and the load time have not been increased, the Borg index is 12 to 13, and the heart rate has not reached the target heart rate. For example, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 checks whether the load value and the load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient have been increased (or increased) even once in four or more consecutive sessions including the current session performed by the patient. Further, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 checks, based on the rehabilitation status information acquired from the patient terminal 8 during the patient's rehabilitation exercise in the current session, what the maximum value of the Borg index of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise was and whether the heart rate has reached the target heart rate. Note that the target heart rate is set in advance by a medical staff, for example.

[0223] As a result, if in four or more consecutive sessions including the current session performed by the patient, the load value and the load time indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient have not been increased even once, the maximum value of the Borg index is 12 to 13, and the heart rate has not reached the target heart rate, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 generates a load treatment plan as follows based on the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise.

[0224] For example, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 generates a load treatment plan that continuously executes a menu in which the load time with the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to the patient during the rehabilitation exercise being the minimum load is reduced and a menu in which the load value of the minimum load is increased and the load time is gradually increased between +1 and +5 minutes.

[0225] For example, when the load value indicated by the load prescription applied to a patient during rehabilitation exercise is +20 W and the load time is 30 minutes, the minimum load is +20 W. Therefore, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription that continuously executes a menu with a load value of +20 W, which is the minimum load, and a load time reduced from 30 minutes to 25 minutes, and a menu with a load value of +25 W, which is 5 W higher than the minimum load of +20 W, and a load time of +5 minutes.

[0226] In addition, in the determination items (1) and (2) above, the range of +1 W to +5 W exemplified as the increase width of the load value indicates the range that can be taken as the increase width of the load value. In this regard, as a more realistic increase width of the load value, the load prescription generation unit 1207 may increase the load value within a range of, for example, +1 W to +2 W.

[0227] In the above example, an example in which the load prescription generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load prescription in which the load value and load time of the bike 6 in the bike exercise are increased has been described. However, the load prescription generation unit 1207 is not limited to this, and for example, it may generate a load prescription in which the type and number of repeated reproductions of the sample video in the resistance exercise are changed. Further, the load prescription generation unit 1207 may generate a load prescription in which both the load value and load time of the bike 6 in the bike exercise and the type and number of repeated reproductions of the sample video in the resistance exercise are changed.

[0228] In addition, the determination items (1) to (3), the increase width of the load value and load time, and the load prescription generated by the load prescription generation unit 1207 exemplified in the determination item (3) described above are merely examples, and the determination items, the increase width of the load value and load time, and the load prescription generated by the load prescription generation unit 1207 in the determination item (3) may be other than the above.

[0229] The processing flow after the load prescription is generated by the load prescription generation unit 1207 is basically the same as that in the first embodiment. For example, the load treatment plan display information generation unit 1208 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates load treatment plan display information for displaying the load treatment plan generated by the load treatment plan generation unit 1207, and outputs the generated load treatment plan display information to the medical staff terminal 3.

[0230] Then, in the medical staff terminal 3, the display control unit 3204 acquires the output load treatment plan display information, and based on the acquired load treatment plan display information, displays the resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B on the display unit 34. In this case, the display control unit 3204 may display, together with the resistance setting screen and the bike exercise setting screen, a message notifying the medical staff that a load treatment plan based on the state of the patient during rehabilitation exercise, such as "displaying a load treatment plan generated based on the state of the patient during rehabilitation exercise", is being shown. Also, in this case, the display control unit 3204 may display, together with the resistance setting screen and the bike exercise setting screen, information indicating how much the load value and load time have actually been increased. The medical staff checks the load treatment plan displayed on the resistance setting screen shown in FIG. 11A and the bike exercise setting screen shown in FIG. 11B, and determines whether to use the load treatment plan as it is for the next load prescription, or determines the modified content of the load treatment plan as the next load prescription.

[0231] When a determination instruction for the load prescription is given by the medical staff, the determination instruction output unit 3205 of the medical staff terminal 3 outputs the determination instruction to the information processing apparatus 1. In the information processing apparatus 1, the determination instruction reception unit 1209 receives the determination instruction. At this time, if a save instruction for the next load prescription has been given by the medical staff, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 stores load prescription information indicating the content of the next load prescription in the storage unit 13 included in the patient-related information.

[0232] In the above example, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load treatment plan for the next rehabilitation exercise based on the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise after the patient has completed the rehabilitation exercise. On the other hand, if it is possible to conduct an interview with the patient as described in the second embodiment after the patient has completed the rehabilitation exercise, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 may, instead of or in addition to generating a load treatment plan based on the state of the patient during the above-described rehabilitation exercise, generate a load treatment plan based on the results of the interview conducted with the patient after the patient has completed the rehabilitation exercise. Note that the method of conducting the interview after the patient has completed the rehabilitation exercise and the method of generating the load treatment plan based on the results of the interview are basically the same as those described in the second embodiment, and thus the description will not be repeated.

[0233] As described above, according to the fourth embodiment, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 generates a load treatment plan for the next rehabilitation exercise based on the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise after the patient has completed the rehabilitation exercise. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment can generate a load treatment plan for the next rehabilitation exercise that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise. In addition, the medical staff can confirm a load treatment plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise as the load treatment plan for the next rehabilitation exercise.

[0234] Also, according to the fourth embodiment, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 generates a load treatment plan in which the load value is increased in the range of +1W to +5W with respect to the load value indicated by the load prescription applied during the rehabilitation exercise. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment can generate a load treatment plan for the next rehabilitation exercise that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load value. In addition, the medical staff can confirm a load treatment plan that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load value as the load treatment plan for the next rehabilitation exercise.

[0235] Further, according to the fourth embodiment, the load prescription generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription in which the load time indicated by the load prescription applied during the rehabilitation exercise is increased in the range of +1 minute to +5 minutes with respect to the load time. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment can generate a load prescription for the next rehabilitation exercise that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load time. Further, the medical staff can confirm a load prescription that reflects the state of the patient during the rehabilitation exercise in the load time as a load prescription for the next rehabilitation exercise.

[0236] Further, according to the fourth embodiment, the load prescription generation unit 1207 stores the generated load prescription in the patient-related information. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the fourth embodiment can store the load prescription generated as described above. Further, the medical staff can prevent the disappearance of the load prescription generated as described above, and there is no need to memorize the content of the generated load prescription, which also reduces the burden on the medical staff.

[0237] Fifth Embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, an example in which the load prescription generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load prescription including a rest interval will be described. Note that the configuration example of the information processing apparatus 1, the patient system 2, and the medical staff terminal 3 included in the remote rehabilitation system according to the fifth embodiment is the same as the configuration example of the remote rehabilitation system according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1.

[0238] The load prescription generation unit 1207 in the fifth embodiment generates a load prescription including a rest interval based on the patient-related information. Note that the generation of the load prescription by the load prescription generation unit 1207 in the fifth embodiment may be, for example, before the start of the patient's rehabilitation exercise, during the patient's rehabilitation exercise, or after the end of the patient's rehabilitation exercise.

[0239] For example, based on the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, when it is determined that the patient has a tendency to exceed the target heart rate within 60 seconds from the start of the bike exercise and this tendency is judged to be inevitable or frequent, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan including a rest interval for a predetermined time (for example, one minute).

[0240] Regarding the inevitability of the above tendency, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines that the above tendency is inevitable when, for example, based on the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, the patient's heart rate always exceeds the target heart rate within 60 seconds from the start of the bike exercise. Regarding the frequency of the above tendency, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 determines that the above tendency is frequent when, for example, based on the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, for the most recent 10 sessions of bike exercise performed by the patient, if there are a predetermined number (for example, 7 sessions) or more of sessions in which the heart rate exceeds the target heart rate within 60 seconds from the start. And when it is determined that the above tendency is inevitable or frequent, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 generates a load prescription plan including a rest interval for a predetermined time.

[0241] Also, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 in Embodiment 5 may generate a load prescription plan that excludes the rest interval from the load prescription including the rest interval based on the patient-related information. For example, based on the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206, when it is determined that the patient has a tendency to be able to continue the exercise stably without the heart rate exceeding the target heart rate, the load prescription plan generation unit 1207 may generate a load prescription plan that excludes the rest interval from the load prescription including the rest interval.

[0242] Regarding the tendency to stably continue the above exercise, for example, based on the patient-related information acquired by the load treatment plan generation unit 1207, regarding the past 10 sessions of cycling exercise performed by the patient, if there are a predetermined number (for example, 7 sessions) or more of sessions in which the patient was able to complete the cycling exercise without the heart rate exceeding the target heart rate, it is determined that there is a tendency to stably continue the exercise, and a load treatment plan may be generated by excluding the rest interval from the load treatment plan including the rest interval.

[0243] Note that the criteria for determining whether to include or delete the rest interval described above are merely examples, and the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 may determine whether to include or delete the rest interval based on criteria other than the above. For example, when it is determined based on the patient-related information acquired by the patient-related information acquisition unit 1206 that the patient is a patient who has undergone transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 may generate a load treatment plan including a rest interval.

[0244] Also, in the above example, an example in which the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 generates a load treatment plan including a rest interval in cycling exercise has been described. However, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 is not limited to this, and for example, it may generate a load treatment plan including a rest interval in resistance exercise. Further, the load treatment plan generation unit 1207 may generate both a load treatment plan including a rest interval in cycling exercise and a load treatment plan including a rest interval in resistance exercise.

[0245] Also, in the above example, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 of the information processing apparatus 1 was described as an example of generating a load processing plan that excludes a rest interval from a load processing plan including a rest interval in bike exercise. However, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 is not limited to this, and for example, it may generate a load processing plan that excludes a rest interval from a load processing plan including a rest interval in resistance exercise. Also, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 may generate both a load processing plan that excludes a rest interval from a load processing plan including a rest interval in bike exercise and a load processing plan that excludes a rest interval from a load processing plan including a rest interval in resistance exercise.

[0246] As described above, according to this Embodiment 5, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 generates a load processing plan including a rest interval based on patient-related information. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 5 can generate a load processing plan that reduces the burden on the patient. Also, the medical staff can confirm a load processing plan that reduces the burden on the patient.

[0247] Also, according to Embodiment 5, the load processing plan generation unit 1207 generates a load processing plan that excludes a rest interval from a load prescription including a rest interval based on patient-related information. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 5 can generate a load processing plan suitable for a patient for whom it is considered that a rest interval may be excluded. Also, the medical staff can confirm a load processing plan suitable for a patient for whom it is considered that a rest interval may be excluded.

[0248] Note that free combinations of each embodiment, or modifications of any component of each embodiment, or omissions of any component in each embodiment are possible.
