[0028] (Example 1) In an embodiment of the health prediction system of the present invention, a generation AI creates avatars of your future self and your family members based on family health checkup information, periodic questionnaires (lifestyle and thoughts), and treatment history. This health prediction system collects data such as family health checkup information, periodic questionnaires, and treatment history, and the generation AI analyzes this data to create a future avatar. This avatar includes both a "healthy future self" and a "future self in the event of an emergency." Next, the generation AI provides advice on "what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past" based on current health information. Specifically, the generation AI compares the future avatar with current health information and suggests what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past. This allows users to predict future health risks and improve their current lifestyle habits and treatments. For example, the generation AI creates an avatar of a "healthy future self" based on family health checkup information and lifestyle questionnaire results, and compares it with current health information to provide advice such as "You should have exercised more in the past." The system also creates an avatar of "your future self in the event of an emergency" and compares it with your current health information to provide advice such as "You should have eaten a more balanced diet in the past." This system allows users to predict future health risks and improve their current lifestyle habits and treatment methods. For example, the generating AI can provide specific advice such as "If you had exercised more in the past, your future health would have been better," encouraging users to review their current lifestyle habits and reduce future health risks. In this way, the health prediction system collects the user's health information, generates a future avatar, and suggests past lifestyle habits and treatment methods, thereby predicting future health risks and improving current lifestyle habits and treatment methods.

[0029] A health prediction system according to an embodiment includes a collection unit, a generation unit, and an advice provision unit. The collection unit collects health checkup information, questionnaires, and treatment histories.

Furthermore, the dietary recorder may suggest ways to improve the nutritional balance based on the user's dietary data. For example, if a specific nutrient is lacking, the dietary recorder may advise the user to consume foods containing that nutrient. This allows the user to review their dietary intake and achieve a healthier diet.

[0050] The health prediction system may further include an exercise recording unit that collects the user's exercise data. The exercise recording unit records the type, duration, intensity, etc. of exercise performed by the user and analyzes the effects of the exercise. For example, the exercise recording unit can collect exercise data such as walking, running, and strength training performed by the user and evaluate the effects of the exercise based on this data. Furthermore, the exercise recording unit can also suggest ways to improve the user's exercise based on the user's exercise data. For example, if a specific exercise is lacking, the exercise recording unit can advise the user to add that exercise. This allows the user to review their exercise habits and live a healthier life.

[0051] The health prediction system may further include a stress analysis unit that monitors the user's stress level. The stress analysis unit collects biometric data such as the user's heart rate, respiratory rate, and electrodermal activity, and analyzes the stress level. For example, the stress analysis unit may record fluctuations in the user's heart rate and respiratory rate, and evaluate the stress level based on this data. Furthermore, the stress analysis unit may suggest stress reduction methods based on the user's stress data. For example, the stress analysis unit may advise on relaxation techniques and stress management techniques. This allows the user to manage their own stress level and maintain their physical and mental health.

[0052] The health prediction system can also prioritize the collection of highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information. For example, it can collect relevant health information based on the health risks in the area where the user lives. It can also collect information on health issues specific to the area based on the user's geographical location information. It can also suggest optimal health checkup items taking the user's geographical location information into consideration. This allows the system to address health risks specific to the area by collecting highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information.

[0053] The processing flow of the first embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0054] Step 1: The collection unit collects health checkup information or questionnaires and treatment history. The collection unit can collect the health checkup information, questionnaires, and treatment history, for example, through a dedicated application. The collection unit can efficiently collect information from the user, for example, using a smartphone app or web application. The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of collecting the health checkup information and questionnaires based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the health checkup information and questionnaires can be collected during a time when the user is able to relax. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information collected by the collection unit and create a future avatar. The generation unit uses, for example, a machine learning algorithm to predict future health conditions from past data and create the future avatar. The generation unit can predict future health conditions with high accuracy using, for example, machine learning algorithms such as neural networks and decision trees. When generating the future avatar, the generation unit can also adjust the level of detail of the avatar based on the importance of the health information.

Step 3: The advice providing unit compares the future avatar generated by the generation unit with the current health information and suggests what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past. For example, the advice providing unit can compare the future avatar with the current health information and make specific suggestions about what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past. For example, it can suggest improvements to diet, recommended exercise, changes to treatment methods, etc.

[0055] (Example 2) In an embodiment of the health prediction system of the present invention, a generation AI creates avatars of your future self and your family members based on family health checkup information, periodic questionnaires (lifestyle and thoughts), and treatment history. This health prediction system collects data such as family health checkup information, periodic questionnaires, and treatment history, and the generation AI analyzes this data to create a future avatar. This avatar includes both a "healthy future self" and a "future self in the event of an emergency." Next, the generation AI provides advice on "what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past" based on current health information. Specifically, the generation AI compares the future avatar with current health information and suggests what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past. This allows users to predict future health risks and improve their current lifestyle habits and treatments. For example, the generation AI creates an avatar of a "healthy future self" based on family health checkup information and lifestyle questionnaire results, and compares it with current health information to provide advice such as "You should have exercised more in the past." The system also creates an avatar of "your future self in the event of an emergency" and compares it with your current health information to provide advice such as "You should have eaten a more balanced diet in the past." This system allows users to predict future health risks and improve their current lifestyle habits and treatment methods. For example, the generating AI can provide specific advice such as "If you had exercised more in the past, your future health would have been better," encouraging users to review their current lifestyle habits and reduce future health risks. In this way, the health prediction system collects the user's health information, generates a future avatar, and suggests past lifestyle habits and treatment methods, thereby predicting future health risks and improving current lifestyle habits and treatment methods.

For example, the collection unit collects health checkup information, questionnaires, and treatment history using the camera 42 and microphone 238 of the robot 414, estimates the user's emotions using the control unit 46A, and adjusts the collection timing. The generation unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, analyzes the collected information, and creates a future avatar. The advice provision unit is realized, for example, by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, and compares the generated future avatar with current health information and suggests past lifestyle habits and treatment methods.

[0080] The system according to the embodiment is not limited to the above-described example, and various modifications are possible, for example, as follows.

[0081] The health prediction system may further include a sleep analysis unit that monitors the user's sleep patterns. The sleep analysis unit collects the user's sleep data and analyzes the quality and patterns of sleep. For example, the sleep analysis unit may record the user's sleep time, the ratio of deep sleep to light sleep, the number of awakenings during the night, etc., and evaluate the quality of sleep based on this data. Furthermore, the sleep analysis unit may suggest ways to improve sleep based on the user's sleep data. For example, it may provide advice on how to relax before bed or on creating an appropriate sleeping environment. This allows the user to improve their sleep quality and their overall health.

[0082] The health prediction system may further include a dietary recorder that collects the user's dietary data. The dietary recorder records the user's daily dietary intake and analyzes the nutritional balance. For example, the dietary recorder may record the calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients ingested by the user, and evaluate the nutritional balance based on this data. Furthermore, the dietary recorder may suggest ways to improve the nutritional balance based on the user's dietary data. For example, if a specific nutrient is lacking, the dietary recorder may advise the user to consume foods containing that nutrient. This allows the user to review their dietary intake and achieve a healthier diet.

[0083] The health prediction system may further include an exercise recording unit that collects the user's exercise data. The exercise recording unit records the type, duration, intensity, etc. of exercise performed by the user and analyzes the effects of the exercise. For example, the exercise recording unit can collect exercise data such as walking, running, and strength training performed by the user and evaluate the effects of the exercise based on this data. Furthermore, the exercise recording unit can also suggest ways to improve the user's exercise based on the user's exercise data. For example, if a specific exercise is lacking, the exercise recording unit can advise the user to add that exercise. This allows the user to review their exercise habits and live a healthier life.

[0084] The health prediction system may further include a stress analysis unit that monitors the user's stress level. The stress analysis unit collects biometric data such as the user's heart rate, respiratory rate, and electrodermal activity, and analyzes the stress level. For example, the stress analysis unit may record fluctuations in the user's heart rate and respiratory rate, and evaluate the stress level based on this data. Furthermore, the stress analysis unit may suggest stress reduction methods based on the user's stress data. For example, the stress analysis unit may advise on relaxation techniques and stress management techniques. This allows the user to manage their own stress level and maintain their physical and mental health.

[0085] The health prediction system can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the content of advice based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the system can provide advice on relaxation methods and stress management. If the user is relaxed, the system can suggest ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, if the user is excited, the system can provide advice on exercises and activities to effectively utilize energy. This allows for more effective health management by providing appropriate advice according to the user's emotions.

[0086] The health prediction system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the avatar's expression based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, an avatar with a calm expression can be generated. If the user is stressed, an avatar with a relaxed posture can be generated. Furthermore, if the user is excited, an avatar with active movements can be generated. In this way, by adjusting the avatar's expression according to the user's emotions, more realistic avatars can be generated.

[0087] The health prediction system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the way advice is expressed based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, advice can be provided in a calm tone. If the user is stressed, advice can be provided in a concise and easy-to-understand tone. Furthermore, if the user is excited, advice can be provided in a more aggressive tone. In this way, more effective advice can be provided by adjusting the way advice is expressed depending on the user's emotions.

[0088] The health prediction system can further estimate the user's emotions and adjust the length of advice based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is relaxed, detailed advice can be provided. If the user is in a hurry, short and to the point advice can be provided. Furthermore, if the user is excited, advice with visually stimulating effects can be provided. In this way, by adjusting the length of advice according to the user's emotions, more appropriate advice can be provided.

[0089] The health prediction system can further estimate the user's emotions and prioritize the information to be collected based on the estimated emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, stress-related health information can be collected with priority. If the user is relaxed, detailed health information can be collected with priority. Furthermore, if the user is busy, health information of high importance can be collected with priority. Thus, by prioritizing information according to the user's emotions, more important information can be collected with priority.

[0090] The health prediction system can also prioritize the collection of highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information. For example, it can collect relevant health information based on the health risks in the area where the user lives. It can also collect information on health issues specific to the area based on the user's geographical location information. It can also suggest optimal health checkup items taking the user's geographical location information into consideration. This allows the system to address health risks specific to the area by collecting highly relevant information based on the user's geographical location information.

[0091] The processing flow of the second embodiment will be briefly explained below.

[0092] Step 1: The collection unit collects health checkup information or questionnaires and treatment history. The collection unit can collect the health checkup information, questionnaires, and treatment history, for example, through a dedicated application. The collection unit can efficiently collect information from the user, for example, using a smartphone app or web application. The collection unit can also estimate the user's emotions and adjust the timing of collecting the health checkup information and questionnaires based on the estimated user emotions. For example, if the user is feeling stressed, the health checkup information and questionnaires can be collected during a time when the user is able to relax. Step 2: The generation unit uses a generation AI to analyze the information collected by the collection unit and create a future avatar. The generation unit uses, for example, a machine learning algorithm to predict future health conditions from past data and create the future avatar. The generation unit can predict future health conditions with high accuracy using, for example, machine learning algorithms such as neural networks and decision trees. When generating the future avatar, the generation unit can also adjust the level of detail of the avatar based on the importance of the health information. For example, a detailed avatar can be generated based on health information with high importance. Step 3: The advice providing unit compares the future avatar generated by the generation unit with the current health information and suggests what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past. For example, the advice providing unit can compare the future avatar with the current health information and make specific suggestions about what lifestyle habits and treatments would have been better in the past. For example, it can suggest improvements to diet, recommended exercise, changes to treatment methods, etc.

The specification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned specification 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.

[0138] 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.

[0139] The storage 32 stores a data generation model 58 and an emotion identification model 59. The data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59 are used by the identification processing unit 290. The identification processing unit 290 can estimate a user's emotion using the emotion identification model 59 and perform identification processing using the user's emotion. The emotion estimation function (emotion identification function) using the emotion identification model 59 performs various estimations and predictions regarding the user's emotion, including estimation and prediction of the user's emotion, but is not limited to these examples. Furthermore, the estimation and prediction of emotion also includes, for example, emotion analysis.

[0140] In the robot 414, the processor 46 performs the identification process. The storage 50 stores the identification program 60. The processor 46 reads the identification program 60 from the storage 50 and executes the read identification program 60 on the RAM 48. The identification process is realized by the processor 46 operating as the control unit 46A in accordance with the identification program 60 executed on the RAM 48. The robot 414 also has a data generation model and an emotion identification model similar to the data generation model 58 and the emotion identification model 59, and can perform the same process as the identification processing unit 290 using these models.

[0141] 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.

[0142] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the robot 414. In the robot 414, the control unit 46A causes the speaker 240 and the control target 443 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 238 acquires voice indicating a user input regarding the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 238 to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.

[0143] 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 including an instruction, as well as inference data such as audio data indicating speech, text data indicating text, and image data indicating an image (e.g., still image data or video data). 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 one or more data formats, such as audio data, text data, and image 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 models 58 include AIs other than the generation AI. Examples of AIs other than the generation AI include, but are not limited to, linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, support vector machines (SVMs), k-means clustering, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), and naive Bayes. These AIs can perform various types of processing, but are not limited to these examples. The AI ​​may also be an AI agent. When the processing of each of the above-described parts is performed by an AI, the processing may be performed in part or entirely by the AI, but is not limited to these examples. Processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI, may be replaced with rule-based processing, and rule-based processing may be replaced with processing performed by an AI, including the generation AI.

[0144] 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.

[0145] The correspondence between each part and the device or control part is not limited to the example described above, and various modifications are possible.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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).

[0150] 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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 indicated, and when they approach the ideal, a state of pleasure is indicated. 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.

[0151] 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."

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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.

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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.
