Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a form management database and a form management system. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a rehabilitation support system that uses a database that stores evaluation indices for evaluation items that evaluate the degree of achievement of rehabilitation training for each rehabilitation patient, divides multiple rehabilitation patients into multiple groups, and outputs images that show the position of the target patient within the multiple groups.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2022-60099 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, when rehabilitation patients who suffer from partial paralysis due to, for example, a stroke (cerebrovascular accident) or spinal cord injury undergo rehabilitation training aimed at functional recovery of the trainee's physical movements, they generally require assistance from a therapist or the like. Therapists or the like typically include physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Therapists or the like may also include doctors and nurses.

[0005] When a rehabilitation patient completes rehabilitation training, therapists create a rehabilitation training record. When creating the record, it is necessary to refer to multiple forms created in association with the rehabilitation patient. These forms typically include the previous training record, nursing records, and other records.

[0006] Therefore, therapists must search for the form that contains the information necessary to create a practice record among multiple forms. However, because there are no rules for writing information on these forms, therapists cannot even determine whether the necessary information is written on a form unless they read each form from start to finish.

[0007] Furthermore, even if they found the necessary information, they still had to check each time to make sure it was up to date. For example, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is known as a method for assessing the amount of care required for rehabilitation patients' Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The FIM has a total of 18 assessment items, and the score for each assessment item increases as rehabilitation training is carried out. Therefore, when therapists and other professionals create implementation records, the most recent scores are important; scores that are not up to date are almost meaningless. Thus, even if therapists and other professionals find the necessary information, they have to check each time to make sure that the information is up to date and that the most recent information is not already included in other forms.

[0008] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technology that contributes to the efficient creation of forms. [Means for solving the problem]

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. A rehabilitation training system according to this embodiment performs processing for a trainee to perform one or more types of training aimed at recovering the trainee's physical movement function. Here, the trainee is, for example, a person (also referred to as a rehabilitation patient) who suffers from partial paralysis due to a stroke (cerebrovascular accident) or spinal cord injury. The trainee's physical movement function has deteriorated due to the above-mentioned disease. In this embodiment, physical movement refers to, for example, movements included in activities of daily living (ADL), including movements such as eating, using the toilet, getting dressed, and walking.

[0016] The trainee undergoes one or more types of training to restore impaired physical movement function. Specifically, for example, training to restore function in the physical movement of eating includes training in eating movements and training in swallowing movements. For example, training to restore function in toileting includes training in transfer movements to and from a bed, wheelchair, and toilet seat, and training in excretion movements in the toilet. For example, training to restore function in walking movements includes training in maintaining a sitting posture, training in maintaining a standing posture, training in walking on flat ground, and training in walking uphill. In addition to the above-mentioned active physical movements, training also includes passive ones, such as massage, in which a caregiver stimulates the joints and muscles. The above-mentioned training is also referred to as rehabilitation, rehabilitation training, or rehab.

[0017] Training using the rehabilitation training system may require assistance from a therapist. A therapist is a person with specialized knowledge who can assist the trainee. In this embodiment, therapists include physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Therapists assist the trainee in their training according to their respective specialized knowledge.

[0018] A physical therapist is someone who provides physical therapy to physically disabled people, primarily to help them recover basic movement abilities. Physical therapy is a treatment method used to maintain or improve the function of those whose physical movement functions have been reduced due to illness, injury, disability, etc. Physical therapists perform physical therapy using exercise, heat, electricity, etc. Hereinafter, physical therapists will also be referred to as PTs (Physical Therapists).

[0019] An occupational therapist is someone who provides occupational therapy to people with physical or mental disabilities, primarily to help them recover their applied motor skills or social adaptability. Here, "occupation" includes everyday activities such as bathing, changing clothes, and using the toilet. Hereinafter, occupational therapists will also be referred to as OTs (Occupational Therapists).

[0020] A speech and language therapist is someone who provides speech and language training and other training, as well as the necessary tests, advice, guidance, and other assistance, in order to maintain and improve the functions of individuals with speech, language, or hearing disabilities. Speech and language therapists also provide training in eating and swallowing under the direction of a doctor or dentist. Hereinafter, speech and language therapists will also be referred to as speech and language-hearing therapists or STs (Speech Therapists). Below, PTs, OTs, STs, and other professionals who assist trainees in rehabilitation training will also be referred to as assistants. Assistants may include doctors, nurses, etc.

[0021] A rehabilitation training system assists an assistant in setting goals for a trainee. For example, the rehabilitation training system is a rehabilitation support device (also referred to as a rehabilitation support system) that collects data related to the rehabilitation training of multiple trainees. The support device then references data from past rehabilitation patients and displays a display screen for supporting rehabilitation. A display unit of the rehabilitation support device displays a screen for setting goals for the trainee (target patient). For example, the assistant and trainee can set goals for a predetermined time point, such as when the trainee is discharged from the hospital, while looking at the screen. The assistant or trainee can then formulate a rehabilitation plan according to the goals.

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a rehabilitation support system 1. The rehabilitation support system 1 includes a rehabilitation support server 2, a terminal 3, and a training device 4. The rehabilitation support system 1 may include multiple terminals 3. The rehabilitation support system 1 may include multiple training devices 4. A rehabilitation patient 5 performs rehabilitation training using the training device 4. One example of the training device 4 is a walking training device for walking training. Examples of the training device 4 include the Welwalk WW-1000 and WW-2000. The rehabilitation training is not limited to walking training, and may also include training in contact movements or excretion movements.

[0023] The terminal 3 is a device into which the assistant 6 can input data. The terminal 3 is typically a tablet computer, a smartphone, a personal computer, or the like. The assistant 6 uses the terminal 3 to input data related to the rehabilitation patient 5 and their rehabilitation training. In this embodiment, the assistant 6 uses the terminal 3 to create an implementation record. However, instead, the assistant 6 may use the terminal 3 to create a conference, a nursing record, or a long-term implementation plan. The implementation record is a record created after the rehabilitation training is conducted. The terminal 3 may be a device attached to the training device 4. As described above, the assistant 6 is a physical therapist, occupational therapist, therapist, doctor, nurse, or the like. The implementation record, conference, nursing record, and long-term implementation plan are specific examples of forms.

[0024] The rehabilitation assistance server 2 is realized by a single device. However, the rehabilitation assistance server 2 may be realized by distributed processing using multiple devices. The terminal 3 is realized by a single device. However, the terminal 3 may be realized by distributed processing using multiple devices. The rehabilitation assistance server 2 and the terminal 3 may be realized by a single device.

[0025] The rehabilitation assistance server 2 is configured to be capable of two-way communication with the terminal 3. The rehabilitation assistance server 2 and the terminal 3 perform data communication with each other as needed via a LAN (Local Area Network) or a WAN (Wide Area Network).

[0026] The rehabilitation support server 2 and the terminal 3 will be described in detail below.

[0027] The rehabilitation support server 2 includes a processor 2a, a memory 2b, and a communication interface 2c. The processor 2a executes a program stored in the memory 2b. As a result, the processor 2a causes hardware such as the processor 2a, the memory 2b, and the communication interface 2c to function as an association degree calculation unit 10 and a form data processing unit 11. The rehabilitation support server 2 includes a database storage unit 12, a form data storage unit 13, and an association degree data storage unit 15. The database storage unit 12, the form data storage unit 13, and the association degree data storage unit 15 are realized by the memory 2b.

[0028] The database storage unit 12 stores a form management database 12a. The form management database 12a includes multiple types of form template data 20. The form management database 12a includes linking data 21.

[0029] Each form template data 20 defines the input format of the corresponding form data. Each form data is composed of data entered for each of multiple types of input items. In other words, each form template data 20 defines the input format of the corresponding form data so that data is entered for each of multiple types of input items when creating the corresponding form data. In short, each form template data 20 defines the data structure of the corresponding form data.

[0030] Figure 2 shows the data structure of report template data 20A related to "Implementation Records," the data structure of report template data 20B related to "Conferences," the data structure of report template data 20C related to "Handovers," and the data structure of report template data 20D related to "Comprehensive Implementation Plan."

[0031] As shown in Figure 2, the form template data 20A for the "Implementation Record" defines multiple types of input items. The multiple types of input items include, for example, "Patient's Chief Complaint on the Day," "Evaluation Results," "Fall Assessment Score," "Pain Score," "Long-Term Goal," and "Short-Term Goal."

[0032] The form template data 20B for "Conference" defines multiple types of input items, including, for example, "Name of person in charge," "Goal to be achieved during hospitalization," and "Estimated time to achieve."

[0033] The form template data 20C for "handover" defines a plurality of types of input items, including, for example, "long-term goals," "short-term goals," and "independent training."

[0034] The form template data 20D for the "Comprehensive Implementation Plan" defines multiple types of input items, including, for example, "Goal (1 month)," "Goal (end)," and "Goal response policy."

[0035] 2, although the multiple types of form template data 20 each define multiple types of input items, there are also input items that are similar between the multiple types of form template data 20. For example, the "Implementation Record" includes an input item called "Long-Term Goal," and this input item called "Long-Term Goal" is similar to the "Goal to be Achieved During Hospitalization" in the "Conference," the "Long-Term Goal in the "Handover," and the "Goal (End)" in the "Comprehensive Implementation Plan." Therefore, when entering the "Long-Term Goal" in the form related to the "Implementation Record," it is desirable to be able to refer to the input data for the "Goal to be Achieved During Hospitalization" in the "Conference," the "Long-Term Goal in the "Handover," and the "Goal (End)" in the "Comprehensive Implementation Plan."

[0036] 2, the linking data 21 links related input items between multiple types of form template data 20. Various data structures are possible for the linking data 21. For example, a data structure that expresses the linking by the identification number of the form template data 20 and the identification number of the input item is possible.

[0037] 1, the form data storage unit 13 stores multiple types of form data 22 created according to multiple types of form template data 20. The multiple types of form data 22 include, for example, form data related to an "implementation record" created according to form template data 20A, form data related to a "conference" created according to form template data 20B, form data related to a "handover" created according to form template data 20C, and form data related to a "comprehensive implementation plan" created according to form template data 20D.

[0038] The relevance data storage unit 15 stores relevance data 24 indicating the relevance between input items in the plurality of types of form data 22 stored in the form data storage unit 13 .

[0039] The relevance calculation unit 10 calculates the relevance data 24. The relevance calculation unit 10 stores the calculated relevance data 24 in the relevance data storage unit 15.

[0040] The relevance calculation unit 10 typically calculates the relevance based on input items related to the evaluation status of the form data 22, input items related to the progress status of the form data 22, and the current description content of the form data 22.

[0041] The input items regarding the evaluation status of the report data 22 are items provided for inputting the evaluation status, and typically include, but are not limited to, whether or not an evaluation was made for evaluation items such as FIM or SIAS (Stroke Impairment Assessment Set), the results, the evaluation date, and the evaluator.

[0042] The input items related to progress in the report data 22 are items provided for inputting progress, and are typically provided for inputting actual data consisting of goal setting, training plans, training results, etc., as well as information incidental to the actual data, such as the presence or absence of the actual data, the results of the actual data, the date of creation of the actual data, and the creator of the actual data.

[0043] Calculating the relevance of input items for each evaluation situation can be done, for example, by determining the relevance for the same evaluator / creator, by determining the relevance in order of the most recent creation date, or by calculating based on the proximity between input items obtained by vectorizing the input items using machine learning techniques.

[0044] Furthermore, when two input items between two report template data 20 corresponding to two report data 22 are linked by linking data 21, the relevance calculation unit 10 may set the relevance of the two input items in the two report data 22 to a predetermined value, such as 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the relevance calculation unit 10 may calculate the relevance based on the current situation, citation history, and predefined related information in addition to the linking situation. Here, the "current situation" refers to, for example, the number of times a document has been cited in the past. A high number of times a document has been cited in the past can be determined to indicate a high relevance. The "current situation" refers to, for example, the number of times it has been cited. By counting the number of times it has been cited, it can be determined that the citation source has a high relevance. The "citation history" refers to the history of citations between the form data 22 when the form data 22 was created. For example, if form 1 and form 2, which are different forms, use long-term goals, the individual long-term goals A and B are treated equally. Other examples of "predefined related information" include items frequently used between different forms, such as short-term goals and intermediate goals.

[0046] Alternatively, the relevance calculation unit 10 may calculate the citation probability using LLM (Large Language Models) and calculate the relevance based on the calculated citation probability.

[0047] The form data processing unit 11 executes processing related to the form data 22. Specifically, the form data processing unit 11 transmits any one of the form template data 20 to the terminal 3 in response to a request from the terminal 3. The form data processing unit 11 also receives form data 22 created in the terminal 3 from the terminal 3. The form data processing unit 11 stores the received form data 22 in the form data storage unit 13.

[0048] The terminal 3 includes a processor 3a, a memory 3b, and a communication interface 3c. The processor 3a executes a program stored in the memory 3b. As a result, the processor 3a causes hardware such as the processor 3a, the memory 3b, and the communication interface 3c to function as an output unit 30, an input unit 31, and a transmission unit 32. The terminal 3 further includes an LCD 3d (Liquid Crystal Display) and an input interface 3e. The input interface 3e is typically a touch panel provided over the LCD 3d.

[0049] The output unit 30 references the form management database 12a (multiple types of form template data 20 and linking data 21) stored in the database storage unit 12 to extract multiple input items linked to the input item being entered on the form creation screen, and outputs a list of multiple input data corresponding to each of the extracted multiple input items. Specifically, this is as follows.

[0050] First, the output unit 30 outputs to the LCD 3d a selection screen for the assistant 6 to select the type of form. Then, the output unit 30 requests the rehabilitation support server 2 for form template data 20 corresponding to the form selected by the assistant 6. Upon receiving the form template data 20 from the rehabilitation support server 2, the output unit 30 creates a form creation screen in accordance with the input format defined by the form template data 20. Then, the output unit 30 outputs the created form creation screen to the LCD 3d as shown on the left side of FIG.

[0051] Furthermore, the output unit 30 refers to the linking data 21 for each input item in the form template data 20 corresponding to the form selected by the assistant 6, and extracts multiple input items linked to the input item. Then, the output unit 30 refers to the form data storage unit 13 of the rehabilitation support server 2 for each input item in the form selected by the assistant 6, and receives input data corresponding to each of the extracted multiple input items from the rehabilitation support server 2. Then, the output unit 30 outputs a list of the received multiple input data on the LCD 3d as shown on the right side of Fig. 3. That is, as shown in Fig. 3, the output unit 30 outputs a form creation screen on the left side of the LCD 3d, and displays a list of multiple input data on the right side of the LCD 3d.

[0052] In the image output example of FIG. 3, the text box corresponding to the input item "Chief complaint of the patient on that day" is in focus. That is, the assistant 6 is currently entering data into the input item "Chief complaint of the patient on that day." At this time, the output unit 30 references the linking data 21 of the rehabilitation support server 2 and displays a list of input data corresponding to the input items of other form data 22 linked to the input item "Chief complaint of the patient on that day" on the right side of the LCD 3d. The output unit 30 identifies input items of other types of form template data 20 that correspond to the input item being entered by the assistant 6, and extracts multiple pieces of input data corresponding to the input items from the form data storage unit 13.

[0053] The output unit 30 also acquires the relevance between the input item currently being input by the assistant 6 and the multiple input data displayed in a list on the right side of the LCD 3d by referencing the relevance data 24 stored in the relevance data storage unit 15 of the rehabilitation support server 2. The output unit 30 then highlights the input data when the relevance is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. The highlighting is, for example, a highlight display. In the example of FIG. 3 , the input data of the form data 22 created on March 22, 2022, has a relevance equal to or greater than a predetermined value, so the input data is highlighted. In this way, the output unit 30 displays the multiple input data in a list so that data with a relatively high relevance is more prominent than data with a relatively low relevance. However, instead of this, the output unit 30 may display the relevance corresponding to the input data, typically as a number, near the multiple input data displayed in a list on the right side of the LCD 3d in FIG. 3 . The output unit 30 may also display the multiple input data in a list so that the excess or deficiency of information can be seen at a glance. Here, "displaying a list of multiple input data so that the excess or deficiency of information can be seen at a glance" specifically means "displaying a list of multiple input data by displaying a list of input items and highlighting items for which no input has been made." Items for which no input has been made can be identified using the information about whether the input items have been filled in or not, as described above. This makes it possible to prompt the user to fill in highly relevant items but have not been filled in.

[0054] Next, we will explain the control flow of the rehabilitation support system 1. Figure 4 shows the control flow of the rehabilitation support system 1.

[0055] First, after completing rehabilitation training, the assistant 6 creates form data 22 using the terminal 3. Specifically, the assistant 6 selects the type of form data 22 to be created using the terminal 3 (S100). The terminal 3 then requests form template data 20 corresponding to the selected form data 22 from the rehabilitation support server 2 (S110). In response, the rehabilitation support server 2 transmits the corresponding form template data 20 to the terminal 3 (S120).

[0056] The terminal 3 generates a form creation screen based on the form template data 20 received from the rehabilitation support server 2, and outputs the generated form creation screen to the LCD 3d (S130). Then, when the assistant 6 focuses on a text box corresponding to any of the input items, the terminal 3 references the database storage unit 12 and the form data storage unit 13 of the rehabilitation support server 2, and extracts multiple pieces of input data corresponding to the input item from the form data storage unit 13 (S140). Then, the terminal 3 displays a list of the extracted multiple pieces of input data on the LCD 3d (S150).

[0057] When the assistant 6 finishes inputting data (S160), the terminal 3 generates form data 22 based on the input data and transmits the generated form data 22 to the rehabilitation support server 2 (S170). The form data processing unit 11 accumulates the form data 22 received from the terminal 3 in the form data storage unit 13 (S180). Then, the relevance calculation unit 10 updates the relevance data 24 (S190).

[0058] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above. The embodiments have the following features.

[0059] The form management database 12a includes multiple types of form template data 20, each of which defines an input format for form data so that data is entered for multiple types of input items, and linking data 21, which links related input items between the multiple types of form template data. The above configuration realizes a technology that contributes to the efficient creation of forms.

[0060] The rehabilitation support system 1 includes a database storage unit 12 that stores the above-mentioned form management database 12a, a form data storage unit 13 that stores multiple types of form data 22 created according to multiple types of form template data 20, and an output unit 30 (output means) that outputs a form creation screen for creating the form data 22. The output unit 30 references the form management database 12a and the form data storage unit 13 to output a list of multiple input data corresponding to multiple input items linked to the input item being entered on the form creation screen. According to the above configuration, the input data linked to the input item being entered and included in the other form data 22 is collected and displayed as a list, allowing the assistant 6 to comprehensively view related input data in the other form data 22, thereby enabling efficient creation of forms.

[0061] The rehabilitation support system 1 further includes a correlation degree calculation means for calculating correlation degrees between input items of the plurality of form data. The output means outputs a list of the plurality of input data according to the correlation degrees. With the above configuration, it is possible to select and discard the plurality of input data according to the correlation degrees.

[0062] The output unit 30 outputs a list of multiple input data so that data with a relatively high degree of association stands out more than data with a relatively low degree of association. With the above configuration, it becomes possible to access input data with a high degree of association in a short time.

[0063] In the above examples, the program can be stored and supplied to a computer using various types of non-transitory computer-readable media. Non-transitory computer-readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include magnetic recording media (e.g., flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives) and magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks). Further examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include CD-ROM (Read Only Memory), CD-R, CD-R / W, and semiconductor memory (e.g., mask ROM). Further examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable PROM), flash ROM, and RAM (Random Access Memory). The program may also be supplied to a computer by various types of transitory computer-readable media. Examples of transitory computer-readable media include electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. The temporary computer-readable medium can supply the program to the computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire or an optical fiber, or via a wireless communication path.
