[0028] (Example 1) The White Watson system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system that integrates a medication record function and a disease history summary function into a single app, and uses a generative AI to record the reason for prescribing medication. As a result, the White Watson system can enhance medical support by centrally managing the user's medication information and medical history and recording the reason for prescribing medication.

[0029] The White Watson system according to the embodiment includes a medicine record function, a disease history summary function, and a generation AI. The medicine record function manages information such as the name of the medicine, dosage, and medication history. For example, the user inputs the name of the medicine and the dosage, and the app records that information. The medicine record function also includes a medication reminder function. For example, it sends notifications at a set time to remind the user to take the medicine. The disease history summary function manages information such as the diagnosis, treatment history, and symptom progression. For example, the user inputs the diagnosis and treatment details, and the app records that information. The disease history summary function also includes a function to display symptom progression in a graph. For example, changes in symptoms can be visually confirmed. The generation AI records why a medicine was prescribed based on the medicine record function and the disease history summary function. For example, if a user inputs "I have a headache," the generation AI records "I was prescribed a headache medicine" based on that information. The generation AI can also analyze the user's input and infer the reason for the prescription. For example, if multiple symptoms are entered, the reason for prescribing the corresponding medication will be recorded. This allows the White Watson system to centrally manage the user's medication information and medical history, and record the reason for prescribing medication, thereby enhancing medical support.

[0030] Generative AI can record a user's lifestyle and dietary habits and analyze their relationship to medication effects and side effects. For example, a user can input their daily dietary habits into an app, and the generative AI can use that data to analyze their relationship to medication effects and side effects. For example, it can analyze whether a particular food enhances a medication's effects or causes side effects. Generative AI can also record a user's lifestyle habits and use that data to analyze their relationship to medication effects and side effects. For example, it can analyze the impact of exercise habits and sleep patterns on medication effects. Generative AI can also record a user's smoking and drinking habits and use that data to analyze their relationship to medication effects and side effects. For example, it can analyze whether smoking reduces medication effects. This enables more precise medical support by analyzing medication effects and side effects taking into account the user's lifestyle and dietary habits.

[0031] The generation AI can automatically generate optimal questions based on past data for symptoms entered by the user and collect detailed information. For example, if a user enters "I have a headache," the generation AI can automatically generate questions such as "How often do you have headaches?" and "How severe is your headache?" based on past data and collect detailed information. Similarly, if a user enters "I have a cough," the generation AI can automatically generate questions such as "How long does the cough last?" and "What does the cough sound like?" based on past data and collect detailed information. Similarly, if a user enters "I have a stomachache," the generation AI can automatically generate questions such as "Where is the stomach pain?" and "How severe is the stomach pain?" based on past data and collect detailed information. This automatically generates optimal questions for the user's symptoms and collects detailed information, improving the accuracy of medical support.

[0032] The medicine notebook app has a function that can be accessed by family members and caregivers, allowing multiple people to manage medications. For example, the medicine notebook app can add a function that can be accessed by family members and caregivers, allowing multiple people to manage a user's medications. For example, family members can check the user's medication status and set reminders. The medicine notebook app also allows caregivers to check the user's medication inventory and replenish as needed. For example, the caregiver can check the remaining amount of medication and order more from the pharmacy if it is running low. The medicine notebook app also allows family members and caregivers to check the side effects of the user's medications and consult a doctor as needed. For example, if a severe side effect occurs, the caregiver can contact a doctor and discuss how to deal with it. In this way, adding a function that can be accessed by family members and caregivers enables multiple people to manage medications, thereby strengthening medical support.

[0033] The disease history summary function allows the user to record details of the treatments and surgeries the user has received, which can be used when consulting a medical institution. The disease history summary function adds a function to record details of the treatments and surgeries the user has received, for example, so that the details can be used when consulting a medical institution. For example, the date, time, and content of the surgery, as well as the progress of the treatment, can be recorded. The disease history summary function also has a function to record the effects and side effects of the treatments the user has received. For example, it can record changes in symptoms after treatment and the presence or absence of side effects. The disease history summary function also has a function to record the results of tests the user has received. For example, the results of blood tests and imaging tests can be recorded and provided to the doctor during the consultation. This allows the user to record details of the treatments and surgeries they have received, which can be used when consulting a medical institution, thereby enhancing medical support.

[0034] Generative AI can analyze the voice input of elderly people and estimate their health condition from the voice. For example, when elderly people explain their symptoms verbally, generative AI adds the function of analyzing that voice and estimating their health condition. For example, it can estimate fatigue and stress levels from the tone of voice and speaking style. Generative AI can also analyze the voice of elderly people reporting their physical condition verbally and estimate their health condition. For example, it can estimate their physical strength from the strength and speed of their voice. Generative AI can also analyze the voice of elderly people expressing their emotions verbally and estimate their health condition. For example, it can estimate their emotional state from the intonation and rhythm of their voice. This will enhance medical support by analyzing the voice input of elderly people and estimating their health condition.

[0035] Generative AI can collect elderly people's walking data, heart rate, and other vital data, and evaluate their health condition based on the vital data. For example, generative AI can collect elderly people's walking data and evaluate their health condition based on that data. For example, it can evaluate their physical strength and muscle power from changes in walking speed and stride length. Generative AI can also collect elderly people's heart rate and evaluate their health condition based on that data. For example, it can evaluate stress and fatigue levels from heart rate fluctuations. Generative AI can also collect elderly people's blood pressure and evaluate their health condition based on that data. For example, it can evaluate the state of their circulatory system from blood pressure fluctuations. This will enhance medical support by collecting elderly people's vital data and evaluating their overall health condition.

[0036] The system can provide comprehensive health support by managing the elderly's medications as well as their diet and exercise. For example, the system can add a function for managing the elderly's diet in addition to managing their medications, thereby providing comprehensive health support. For example, it can record the contents of meals and evaluate nutritional balance. The system can also add a function for managing the elderly's exercise, thereby providing comprehensive health support. For example, it can record the type and frequency of exercise and evaluate the effectiveness of exercise. The system can also manage the elderly's overall lifestyle habits and provide comprehensive health support. For example, it can record sleep patterns and stress levels and provide health advice. In this way, comprehensive health support can be provided by managing the elderly's medications as well as their diet and exercise.

[0037] Medical history support is equipped with a remote medical consultation function, allowing doctors to conduct medical history remotely. Medical history support, for example, adds a remote medical consultation function, allowing doctors to conduct medical history remotely. For example, a doctor may conduct a medical history of an elderly person via video call. Medical history support also includes a chat function, allowing doctors to communicate with elderly people remotely. For example, symptoms and questions may be answered via text message. Medical history support also includes a remote monitoring function, allowing doctors to monitor the health status of elderly people in real time. For example, vital signs data may be collected in real time and provided to doctors. In this way, adding a remote medical consultation function allows doctors to conduct medical history remotely, thereby enhancing medical support.

[0038] Generative AI can analyze prescription drug trends in detail, taking into account regional climate and environmental data. For example, generative AI can collect regional climate data and analyze prescription drug trends based on that data. For example, it can analyze whether cold medicines are more commonly prescribed in cold regions. Generative AI can also collect regional environmental data and analyze prescription drug trends based on that data. For example, it can analyze whether asthma medications are more commonly prescribed in regions with poor air quality. Generative AI can also collect regional temperature data and analyze prescription drug trends based on that data. For example, it can analyze whether heatstroke prevention medications are more commonly prescribed in regions with high temperatures. This allows for detailed analysis of prescription drug trends, taking into account regional climate and environmental data, thereby strengthening medical support.

[0039] Generative AI can perform trend analysis based on demographic data such as the user's age group and gender. For example, generative AI can collect user age group data and analyze prescription drug trends based on that data. For example, it can analyze whether prescriptions for a particular drug are more common in areas with a large elderly population. Generative AI can also collect user gender data and analyze prescription drug trends based on that data. For example, it can analyze whether prescriptions for a particular drug are more common in areas with a large female population. Generative AI can also collect user occupation data and analyze prescription drug trends based on that data. For example, it can analyze whether prescriptions for shoulder pain medication are more common in areas where desk work is common. This allows for more precise trend analysis based on demographic data such as the user's age group and gender, thereby enhancing medical support.

[0040] The system can provide pharmaceutical companies with regional prescription drug trends in real time, thereby supporting the rapid development of marketing strategies. For example, the system collects regional prescription drug trends in real time and provides the data to pharmaceutical companies. For example, it can instantly provide data on regions where prescriptions for a particular drug are rapidly increasing. The system can also analyze regional prescription drug trends in real time and provide the results to pharmaceutical companies. For example, it can provide data on regions where demand for a particular drug is increasing in real time. The system can also visualize regional prescription drug trends in real time and provide the information to pharmaceutical companies. For example, it can provide the data visually using graphs and charts. In this way, by providing pharmaceutical companies with regional prescription drug trends in real time, it can support the rapid development of marketing strategies.

[0041] The system can also provide trend data to medical institutions and pharmacies, which can help improve medical services in each region. For example, the system can provide regional prescription drug trend data to medical institutions and pharmacies, which can help improve medical services in each region. For example, inventory management can be optimized in areas where there is high demand for specific drugs. The system can also provide regional prescription drug trend data to medical institutions and pharmacies, which can help optimize medical treatment processes. For example, prescription patterns for drugs for specific symptoms can be analyzed to improve treatment guidelines. The system can also provide regional prescription drug trend data to medical institutions and pharmacies, which can help introduce patient education programs. For example, educational materials can be provided on how to use specific drugs and their side effects. In this way, providing trend data to medical institutions and pharmacies can help improve medical services in each region.

[0042] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0043] The White Watson system can enhance medical support by centrally managing a user's medication information and medical history and recording the reasons for medication prescriptions. Furthermore, the system can record the user's lifestyle and dietary habits and analyze their relationship to medication effectiveness and side effects. For example, by having the user enter their daily dietary habits into the app, the system can analyze the relationship between medication effectiveness and side effects based on that data. It can analyze whether specific foods enhance medication effectiveness or cause side effects. It can also record the user's lifestyle and analyze the relationship between medication effectiveness and side effects based on that data. It can also analyze the impact of exercise habits and sleep patterns on medication effectiveness. It can also record the user's smoking and drinking habits and analyze the relationship between medication effectiveness and side effects based on that data. It can analyze whether smoking reduces medication effectiveness. This enables more precise medical support by analyzing medication effectiveness and side effects by taking into account the user's lifestyle and dietary habits.

[0044] The White Watson system can automatically generate optimal questions based on past data for symptoms entered by the user and collect detailed information. For example, if a user enters "I have a headache," questions such as "How often do you have headaches?" and "How severe is your headache?" are automatically generated based on past data, and detailed information is collected. Similarly, if a user enters "I have a cough," questions such as "How long does the cough last?" and "What does the cough sound like?" are automatically generated based on past data, and detailed information can be collected. Furthermore, if a user enters "I have a stomachache," questions such as "Where is the stomach pain?" and "How severe is the stomach pain?" are automatically generated based on past data, and detailed information is collected. This automatically generates optimal questions for the user's symptoms and collects detailed information, improving the accuracy of medical support.

[0045] The White Watson system is equipped with a function that can be accessed by family members and caregivers, allowing multiple people to manage medications. For example, adding a function that can be accessed by family members and caregivers allows multiple people to manage a user's medications. Family members can check the user's medication status and set reminders. Caregivers can also check the user's medication inventory and replenish as needed. Caregivers can check the remaining amount of medication and place an order with the pharmacy if it is low. Family members and caregivers can also check the side effects of the user's medications and consult a doctor if necessary. If a severe side effect occurs, they can contact a doctor and discuss how to deal with it. By adding a function that can be accessed by family members and caregivers, medications can be managed by multiple people, thereby strengthening medical support.

[0046] The White Watson system can record details of the treatments and surgeries a user has received, which can be used during consultations at medical institutions. For example, a function can be added to record details of the treatments and surgeries a user has received, making them available during consultations at medical institutions. The system records the date, time, and content of the surgery, as well as the progress of the treatment. It also has a function to record the effectiveness and side effects of the treatment the user has received. It can record changes in symptoms after treatment and the presence or absence of side effects. It also has a function to record the results of tests the user has received. The results of blood tests and imaging tests can be recorded and provided to the doctor during consultations. This allows users to record details of the treatments and surgeries they have received, which can be used during consultations at medical institutions, enhancing medical support.

[0047] The White Watson system can analyze the voice input of elderly people and estimate their health condition from the voice. For example, when elderly people explain their symptoms verbally, the system adds a function to analyze the voice and estimate their health condition. Fatigue and stress levels can be estimated from the tone of voice and speaking style. In addition, when elderly people report their physical condition verbally, the voice can be analyzed to estimate their health condition. The physical strength and speed of the voice can be estimated. Furthermore, when elderly people express their emotions verbally, the voice can be analyzed to estimate their health condition. The emotional state can be estimated from the intonation and rhythm of the voice. This will enhance medical support by analyzing the voice input of elderly people and estimating their health condition.

[0048] The White Watson system can collect elderly people's walking data, heart rate, and other vital data, and evaluate their health condition based on the vital data. For example, it can collect elderly people's walking data and evaluate their health condition based on that data. It can evaluate their physical strength and muscle power from changes in walking speed and stride length. It can also collect elderly people's heart rate and evaluate their health condition based on that data. It can evaluate stress and fatigue levels from heart rate fluctuations. It can also collect elderly people's blood pressure and evaluate their health condition based on that data. It can evaluate the state of their circulatory system from blood pressure fluctuations. This will enhance medical support by collecting elderly people's vital data and evaluating their overall health condition.

[0105] The microphone 238 receives instructions and the like from the user by receiving voice uttered by the user. The microphone 238 captures the voice uttered by the user, converts the captured voice into audio data, and outputs it to the processor 46. The speaker 240 outputs audio according to instructions from the processor 46.

[0106] Camera 42 is a small digital camera equipped with an optical system including a lens, aperture, and shutter, and an imaging element such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor, and captures images of the user's surroundings (for example, an imaging range defined by an angle of view equivalent to the field of vision of a typical healthy person).

[0108] Fig. 6 shows an example of the main functions of the data processing device 12 and the headset type terminal 314. As shown in Fig. 6, in the data processing device 12, a specific process is performed by the processor 28. A specific process program 56 is stored in the storage 32.

[0109] The processor 28 reads the specific processing program 56 from the storage 32 and executes the read specific processing program 56 on the RAM 30. The specific processing is realized by the processor 28 operating as a specific processing unit 290 in accordance with the specific processing program 56 executed on the RAM 30.

In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the audio data.

[0114] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI. An example of the data generation model 58 is a generative AI such as ChatGPT. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. The data generation model 58 receives a prompt containing an instruction, as well as inference data such as voice data representing speech, text data representing text, and image data representing an image. The data generation model 58 performs inference on the input inference data in accordance with the instruction indicated by the prompt and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing using the data generation model 58. The data generation model 58 may be a fine-tuned model so as to output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. In this case, the data generation model 58 can output an inference result from a prompt that does not include an instruction. The data processing device 12 and the like include multiple types of data generation models 58, and the data generation model 58 includes AIs other than the generative AI. The AI ​​other than the generative AI may be, for example, linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine (SVM), k-means clustering, convolutional neural network (CNN), recurrent neural network (RNN), generative adversarial network (GAN), or naive Bayes, and can perform various processes, but is not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0128] Note that a device other than the data processing device 12 may have the data generation model 58. For example, a server device may have the data generation model 58. In this case, the data processing device 12 communicates with the server device having the data generation model 58 to obtain a processing result (such as a prediction result) using the data generation model 58. Furthermore, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (for example, a mobile phone, a robot, a home appliance, etc.) owned by a user.

When the processes of each of the above-mentioned parts are performed by AI, the processes may be performed in part or entirely by AI, but are not limited to these examples. The processes performed by AI, including the generative AI, may be replaced with rule-based processes.

[0131] The data processing system 410 according to the fourth embodiment performs the same processing as the data processing system 10 according to the first embodiment. The processing by the data processing system 410 is executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 or the control unit 46A of the robot 414, but may also be executed by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 and the control unit 46A of the robot 414. Furthermore, the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12 acquires or collects information required for processing from the robot 414 or an external device, etc., and the robot 414 acquires or collects information required for processing from the data processing device 12 or an external device, etc.

[0132] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the user's emotion according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the user's emotion according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the robot's emotion, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the robot's emotion.

[0133] FIG. 9 illustrates an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. Emotions closer to the center of the concentric circles are more primitive. Emotions representing states and behaviors arising from a state of mind are arranged on the outer edges of the concentric circles. The concept of emotion encompasses both emotions and mental states. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain are arranged on the left side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally induced by situational judgment are arranged on the right side of the concentric circles. Emotions generally generated from reactions occurring in the brain and induced by situational judgment are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles. Furthermore, the emotion of "pleasure" is arranged on the upper side of the concentric circles, and the emotion of "discomfort" is arranged on the lower side. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure by which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.

[0134] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction on emotion map 400, and typically fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.

[0135] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on in the mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further you go outside emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).

[0136] Human emotions are based on various balances, such as posture and blood sugar levels. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, and motorcycles, based on various balances, such as posture and remaining battery life. When these balances deviate from the ideal, a state of discomfort is expressed, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is expressed. An emotion map can be generated, for example, based on Dr. Mitsuyoshi's emotion map (Research on speech emotion recognition and brain physiological signal analysis systems for emotions, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). The left half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "reaction," where sensation is dominant. The right half of the emotion map lists emotions belonging to the area called "situation," where situational awareness is dominant.

[0137] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. One is a negative emotion on the situation side, around the middle of "repentance" or "reflection." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is a positive emotion on the response side, around "desire." In other words, this occurs when the robot experiences positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."

[0138] The emotion identification model 59 inputs user input into a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the user's emotion. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple pieces of training data that are combinations of user input and emotion values ​​indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relieved," "calm," and "reassuring," have similar emotion values.

[0139] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers including computer 22.

[0140] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable, computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.

[0141] Alternatively, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 in response to a request from the data processing device 12.

[0142] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.

[0143] The hardware resource for executing a specific process can be any of the following types of processors: A processor, for example, is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing a specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. A processor also includes a dedicated electrical circuit, such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a PLD (Programmable Logic Device), or an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), which is a processor with a circuit configuration designed specifically for executing a specific process. Each processor has built-in or connected memory, and each processor uses the memory to execute the specific process.

[0144] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be configured with one of these various processors, or may be configured with a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.

[0145] As an example of a system configured with a single processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a system that uses a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.

[0146] Furthermore, the hardware structure of these various processors can be, more specifically, an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor devices. The specific processing described above is merely an example. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the processing order may be rearranged, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0147] In the above example, the first to fourth embodiments have been described separately, but some or all of these embodiments may be combined. The smart device 14, smart glasses 214, headset terminal 314, and robot 414 are merely examples, and they may be combined, or other devices may be used. In the above example, the first and second embodiments have been described separately, but they may be combined.

[0148] The above-described description and illustrations are a detailed explanation of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects is an explanation of an example of the configuration, functions, actions, and effects of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above-described description and illustrations within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. Furthermore, to avoid confusion and facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above-described description and illustrations omit explanations of common technical knowledge that do not require particular explanation to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
