Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a health management support system, a control method thereof, and a control program thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, development of systems that assist users in managing their health has progressed.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a health guidance support program that causes the CPU of a health guidance support system to function to comparatively display the target energy reduction amount for achieving the accepted user's goal and the energy reduction amount when the plan is executed for the user's current situation, which is obtained based on both information about the current living situation and the lifestyle improvement plan. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-176242 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, Patent Document 1 merely displays a comparative image of the target energy reduction amount for achieving the goal set by the user and the energy reduction amount when the lifestyle improvement plan set by the user is executed, and does not propose a lifestyle improvement plan (action plan) suitable for achieving the goal set by the user. In other words, Patent Document 1 has the problem of not proposing an appropriate action plan for bringing the user's health state closer to the target health state.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above background, and aims to provide a health management support system, a control method thereof, and a control program that are capable of proposing an appropriate action plan to bring a user's health state closer to a target health state. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A health management support system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an acquisition unit that acquires information about a current user, information about the user's target health state at the end of a set period, and information about a budget, a plan calculation unit that calculates one or more plans for the user's activities during the set period based on the information about the current user, the user's target health state at the end of the set period, and the budget, and an output unit that outputs the one or more plans calculated by the plan calculation unit. This health management support system is able to propose an appropriate action plan for bringing the user's health state closer to the target health state by the end of the set period, taking into consideration not only the information about the current user (such as their health state) and the user's target health state at the end of the set period, but also the budget.

[0008] The information about the current user may include information about the current user's health condition, such as the current user's body type and body fat percentage.

[0009] The information about the current user may include at least one of the age, sex, height, and weight of the current user.

[0010] The information about the current user may include at least one of information about the current user's favorite foods and favorite exercises. By incorporating the favorite foods and favorite exercises into the plan, the user can be motivated to carry out the action plan.

[0011] The information about the current user may include at least one of information about foods that the current user is prohibited from consuming and information about exercise that the current user is prohibited from consuming, so that a plan is calculated that does not use foods that cause allergic reactions, for example.

[0012] The user's activity details may include at least one of exercise details and meal details.

[0013] The plan calculation unit may extract the behavioral content and improvement status of health status based on the selected plan of one or more subjects that are determined to be similar to information about the current user, the user's target health status at the end of the set period, and the budget from the behavioral content and improvement status of health status based on the selected plan of each of multiple past subjects registered in a first database, and calculate one or more plans for the user's behavioral content for the set period by referring to the behavioral content and improvement status of health status based on the selected plan of the extracted subjects.

[0014] The plan calculation unit may further calculate one or more new plans for the user's behavior during the set period based on a new budget obtained by adding a predetermined amount to the budget, and the output unit may further output the one or more new plans calculated by the plan calculation unit together with information regarding the new budget.

[0015] The plan calculation unit may calculate one or more plans for the user's activities during the set period based on information about the current user, the user's target health state at the end of the set period, and the budget, as well as the user's schedule for the set period stored in a second database.

[0016] The output unit may cause a display unit to display any one of the one or more plans selected from the one or more plans calculated by the plan calculation unit together with the user's schedule.

[0017] A control method for a health management support system according to one embodiment of the present invention acquires information about a current user, information about the user's target health state at the end of a set period, and information about a budget, calculates one or more plans for the user's activities during the set period based on the information about the current user, the user's target health state at the end of the set period, and the budget, and outputs the calculated one or more plans. This control method for a health management support system can propose an appropriate action plan for bringing the user's health state closer to the target health state by the end of the set period, taking into consideration not only information about the current user (such as their health state) and the user's target health state at the end of the set period, but also the budget.

[0018] A control program according to one embodiment of the present invention causes a computer to execute the following steps: acquire information about a current user, information about the user's target health state at the end of a set period, and information about a budget; calculate one or more plans for the user's activities during the set period based on the information about the current user, the user's target health state at the end of the set period, and the budget; and output the calculated one or more plans. This control program can propose an appropriate action plan for bringing the user's health state closer to the target health state by the end of the set period, taking into consideration not only the information about the current user (such as their health state) and the user's target health state at the end of the set period, but also the budget. [Effects of the Invention]

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a health management support system, a control method and a control program thereof that are capable of proposing an appropriate action plan to bring a user's health state closer to a target health state.

[0021] The present invention will be described below through embodiments of the invention, but the invention according to the claims is not limited to the following embodiments. Furthermore, not all of the configurations described in the embodiments are necessarily essential means for solving the problems. For clarity of explanation, the following description and drawings have been omitted and simplified as appropriate. In each drawing, the same elements are given the same reference numerals, and repeated explanations are omitted as necessary.

[0022] <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of a health management support system 1 according to embodiment 1. Health management support system 1 is capable of proposing an appropriate action plan for bringing the user's health state closer to the target health state by the end of a set period, taking into consideration not only current information about the user and the user's target health state at the end of a set period, but also the budget. This will be explained in detail below.

[0023] 1, health management support system 1 includes health management support device 10, operation terminal 20, monitor 30, and network 50. Health management support device 10 can also be called a health management support system. Operation terminal 20, monitor 30, and health management support device 10 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via wired or wireless network 50.

[0024] The operation terminal 20 is, for example, a personal computer (PC) terminal, a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal, or a dedicated communication terminal prepared for this system. The operation terminal 20 receives information about the current user U1, information about the target health state of the user U1 after a set period has elapsed, and information about the budget, all of which are input by the operation of the user U1, and transmits the information to the health management support device 10 via the network 50.

[0025] Here, the information about the current user U1 includes, for example, at least one of the age, sex, height, and weight of the current user U1. The information about the current user U1 may also include information about the health condition of the current user U1. The information about the health condition of the current user U1 is, for example, the body type and body fat percentage of the current user U1. Note that the information about the body type and body fat percentage of the current user U1 may be directly input by the user U1, or may be estimated by the operation terminal 20 or the health management support device 10 from the height, weight, etc. of the current user U1.

[0026] Furthermore, the information about the current user U1 may include at least one of information about the current user U1's favorite foods and favorite exercises. The favorite foods may be broadly categorized foods such as fish, meat, or vegetables, or more specifically categorized fish such as pacific saury, salmon, or eel. Alternatively, the favorite foods may specify a specific meal menu using specific foods. The favorite exercise may specify exercises such as running, jumping rope, swimming, tennis, or gym (e.g., strength training using machines).

[0027] Furthermore, the information about the current user U1 may include at least one of information about foods that the current user U1 is prohibited from consuming and information about exercises that the current user U1 is prohibited from consuming. The prohibited foods may be broadly categorized foods such as fish, meat, or vegetables, or more specifically categorized fish foods such as pacific saury, salmon, or eel. More specifically, the prohibited foods may include eggs, milk, wheat, buckwheat, or other foods that may cause food allergies. The prohibited exercises may include running, jumping rope, swimming, tennis, or gymnastics. More specifically, the prohibited exercises may include exercises that involve limited movement due to a fracture, fatigue, or the like, such as playing catch when the shoulder is fatigued.

[0028] The information about the target health condition of user U1 at the end of the set period is user U1's target body type, weight, body fat percentage, etc. The set period can be arbitrarily set by user U1, for example, one month, three months, one year, or the like.

[0029] The information about the budget is the amount of money that the user U1 can spend to carry out the action plan calculated by the health management support device 10, which will be described later.

[0030] Monitor 30 may be, for example, a monitor of a PC terminal, a monitor of a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, or a dedicated monitor prepared for this system. Monitor 30 receives and displays the output results (described below) of health management support device 10 via network 50.

[0031] The monitor 30 may be incorporated into the operation terminal 20 or may be provided separately from the operation terminal 20. In this embodiment, the monitor 30 is incorporated into the operation terminal 20. That is, in this embodiment, the monitor 30 is used as a monitor for the operation terminal 20, which is a PC terminal. Therefore, the monitor 30 may not only display the output results of the health management support device 10 but also display input fields for information about the current user U1. In this case, the user U1 operates a keyboard or the like of the operation terminal 20, which is a PC terminal, to input necessary information into the input fields displayed on the monitor 30, thereby inputting information about the current user U1, information about the user U1's target health state at the end of a set period, and information about the budget into the operation terminal 20. The operation terminal 20 accepts the information input by the user U1 and transmits it to the health management support device 10 via the network 50.

[0032] The health management support device 10 calculates and outputs one or more plans (action plans) for the user U1's behavior during the set period based on information about the current user U1, the user U1's target health state at the end of the set period, and the budget.

[0033] Specifically, the health management support device 10 includes at least an information acquisition unit 11, a plan calculation unit 12, and an output unit 13.

[0034] The information acquisition unit 11 acquires information input by the user U1 via the operation terminal 20. That is, the information acquisition unit 11 acquires, for example, information about the current user U1, information about the target health state of the user U1 after the set period has elapsed, and information about the budget. Note that the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11 is not limited to the above information, and may acquire other information used in the calculation of an action plan by the plan calculation unit 12, which will be described later.

[0035] The plan calculation unit 12 calculates one or more plans (action plans) for the user U1's activities during the set period based on the current information about the user U1, the user U1's target health condition at the end of the set period, and the budget acquired by the information acquisition unit 11. The activity details include meal details and exercise details.

[0036] For example, the information about the current user U1 is set to the weight of the current user U1 as 80 kg, and the target health state of the user U1 after the set period has elapsed is set to a set period of three months, a target weight of the user U1 after the set period has elapsed as 70 kg, and a budget of 50,000 yen. In this case, the plan calculation unit 12 calculates one or more action plans including dietary details and exercise details for reducing the weight of the user U1 from 80 kg to 70 kg in three months.

[0037] If user U1's favorite foods are specified, the plan calculation unit 12 calculates an action plan that includes a meal menu using user U1's favorite foods within the budget and within the scope that allows the goal to be achieved. Alternatively, if user U1's favorite exercise is specified, the plan calculation unit 12 calculates an action plan that includes user U1's favorite exercise within the budget and within the scope that allows the goal to be achieved.

[0038] Furthermore, if a food that is prohibited from being consumed due to the possibility of causing a food allergy is specified, the plan calculation unit 12 calculates an action plan consisting of a meal menu that does not use that food. Alternatively, if an exercise that is prohibited due to a fracture, fatigue, or the like is specified, the plan calculation unit 12 calculates an action plan consisting of exercise content other than that exercise.

[0039] The plan calculation unit 12 may calculate an action plan in which the conditions for exercise content are tightened instead of the conditions for meal content are relaxed, based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11. For example, the plan calculation unit 12 may calculate an action plan in which the calorie consumption required for exercise is increased instead of the restriction on calorie intake through food is relaxed.

[0040] Alternatively, the plan calculation unit 12 may calculate an action plan in which the conditions for dietary content are tightened instead of the conditions for exercise content are relaxed, based on the information acquired by the information acquisition unit 11. For example, the plan calculation unit 12 may calculate an action plan in which the calorie intake from food is tightened instead of the calorie consumption required for exercise is reduced.

[0041] The output unit 13 outputs one or more action plans calculated by the plan calculation unit 12. Information about the one or more action plans output by the output unit 13 is transferred to the monitor 30 via the network 50, for example, and displayed.

[0042] In this way, the health management support system 1 according to this embodiment can propose an appropriate action plan to bring the health state of user U1 closer to the target health state by the time the set period has elapsed, taking into consideration not only the current information about user U1 and the target health state of user U1 at the end of the set period, but also the budget.

[0043] The health management support system 1 may be configured to acquire the implementation status of the action plan by the user U1 via the operation terminal 20, a communicable weight scale, etc. This enables the health management support system 1 to calculate and present the degree of achievement of the adopted action plan based on the acquired implementation status of the action plan by the user U1, and to suggest revisions to the content of the action included in the action plan if the degree of achievement is low.

[0044] Furthermore, the health management support system 1 may be configured to propose an action plan for user U1 by referring to the action details and health status improvement status based on the selected plans (adopted action plans) of multiple past users. For example, a first database stores at least the action details and health status improvement status based on the selected plans of each of multiple past users (subjects). The plan calculation unit 12 extracts from the first database information about the current user U1, the target health status of user U1 after a set period has elapsed, and the action details and health status improvement status based on the selected plans of one or more subjects that are determined to be similar to each other. The plan calculation unit 12 then calculates one or more action plans for user U1 by referring to the action details and health status improvement status based on the extracted selected plans. This allows the health management support system 1 to propose more realistic action plans.

[0045] (Operation of health management support system 1) Next, the operation of the health management support system 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the health management support system 1.

[0046] First, the operation terminal 20 receives information about the current user U1, information about the target health condition of user U1 after the set period has elapsed, and information about the budget, all of which have been input by the operation of the user U1, and transmits the information to the health management support device 10 via the network 50.

[0047] As already explained, in this embodiment, the monitor 30 is used as a monitor for the operation terminal 20, which is a PC terminal. Therefore, input items for information about the current user U1 and the like are displayed on the monitor 30.

[0048] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a list of input items displayed on the monitor 30. Referring to FIG. 3, the monitor 30 displays input items such as the name, age, sex, height, weight, and body fat percentage of the user U1 as input items for information about the current user U1. The body fat percentage may be input directly by the user U1 or may be automatically calculated from the height, weight, and the like. The monitor 30 also displays input items such as the target weight and the set period as input items for information about the target health state of the user U1 at the end of the set period. The monitor 30 also displays input items for the budget. The monitor 30 also displays input items such as favorite foods, favorite exercises, prohibited foods, and prohibited exercises.

[0049] For example, user U1 operates the keyboard or the like of operation terminal 20, which is a PC terminal, to input necessary information into input fields displayed on monitor 30, thereby inputting information about current user U1, information about user U1's target health state after a set period has elapsed, and information about the budget into operation terminal 20. Operation terminal 20 accepts this information input by user U1's operation and transmits it to health management support device 10 via network 50.

[0050] In the health management support device 10, the information acquisition unit 11 acquires information input by the user U1 via the operation terminal 20. That is, the information acquisition unit 11 acquires, for example, information about the current user U1, information about the target health state of the user U1 after a set period has elapsed, and information about the budget (step S101).

[0051] Thereafter, in the health management support device 10, the plan calculation unit 12 calculates one or more plans (action plans) for the behavior of the user U1 during the set period based on the information about the current user U1 acquired by the information acquisition unit 11, the target health state of the user U1 at the end of the set period, and the budget (step S102).

[0052] For example, the information about the current user U1 is set to the weight of the current user U1 as 80 kg, and the target health state of the user U1 after the set period has elapsed is set to a set period of three months, a target weight of the user U1 after the set period has elapsed as 70 kg, and a budget of 50,000 yen. In this case, the plan calculation unit 12 calculates one or more action plans including dietary details and exercise details for reducing the weight of the user U1 from 80 kg to 70 kg in three months.

[0053] Thereafter, the output unit 13 outputs one or more action plans calculated by the plan calculation unit 12 (step S103). Information relating to the one or more action plans output by the output unit 13 is transferred to the monitor 30 via the network 50, for example, and displayed.

[0054] Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of an action plan displayed on the monitor 30. Referring to Figure 4, four action plans P1 to P4 are displayed on the monitor 30 as action plans (recommended plans) proposed to the user U1. The budgets for the four action plans P1 to P4 are all 50,000 yen or less, as set by the user U1.

[0055] Action plan P1 suggests incorporating two 2km runs and one hour of swimming per week as exercise. Action plan P1 also suggests incorporating meal menus M1_1 to M1_7 per week, including meal menu M1_1 using foods a and b, and meal menu M1_2 using foods a and c. The budget is approximately 40,000 yen.

[0056] Action plan P2 suggests incorporating 5km running three times per week as an exercise program. Action plan P2 also suggests incorporating meal menus M2_1 to M2_7 per week, including meal menu M2_1 using foods c and d, and meal menu M2_2 using foods a and d. The budget is approximately 30,000 yen.

[0057] Action plan P3 suggests incorporating two one-hour swims in the pool and three 50-time jump rope runs per week as exercise. Action plan P3 also suggests incorporating meal plans M3_1 to M3_7 per week, including meal plan M3_1 using foods b and d, and meal plan M3_2 using foods d and e. The budget is approximately 40,000 yen.

[0058] Action plan P4 suggests incorporating two one-hour swims in the pool and two two-hour tennis sessions per week as exercise. Action plan P4 also suggests incorporating meal menus M4_1 to M4_7 per week, including meal menu M4_1 using foods b and c, and meal menu M4_2 using foods b and e. The budget is approximately 50,000 yen.

[0059] For example, user U1 can adopt a preferred action plan from among action plans P1 to P4 and, by incorporating the dietary and exercise details proposed in the adopted action plan, bring his / her health condition (weight in this case) closer to the target health condition within the set budget within a set period of three months. In other words, health management support system 1 can propose an appropriate action plan for bringing user U1's health condition closer to the target health condition within the set budget within the set period.

[0060] The exercise and dietary details included in each action plan may be more specific. For example, instead of "1 hour at the pool," the plan may be more specific, such as "20 rounds of 50m crawl." Or, instead of "1 hour at the gym," the plan may be more specific, such as "30kg bench press x 10 reps, 30kg leg press x 10 reps, ...."

[0061] 4, the example has been described in which weight loss is set as the goal, but the goal is not limited to this, and for example, the goal may be set to reduce body fat percentage or to change one's body shape to a desired body shape. Note that when the goal is set to change one's body shape to a desired body shape, the health management support system 1 may be configured to be able to acquire information about the body shape of the user U1 from an image of the user U1 taken by a camera capable of communication, for example.

[0062] In addition, in the example of Fig. 4, a case where action plans P1 to P4 that can be implemented within a set budget are proposed is described, but this is not limited thereto. For example, action plans that can be implemented within a budget that is a predetermined amount larger than the set budget may also be proposed. In other words, the health management support system 1 may be configured to be able to calculate and output further action plans that can be implemented within a budget that is a predetermined amount larger than the set budget. This will be briefly explained below using Fig. 5.

[0063] Figure 5 is a diagram showing another example of an action plan displayed on the monitor 30. In the example of Figure 5, three action plans P5 to P7 that can be carried out within a budget that is a predetermined amount larger than the set budget are displayed. In the example of Figure 5, the display of action plans P1 to P4 that can be carried out within the set budget is omitted. The budgets for the three action plans P5 to P7 are 10,000 yen more than the budget set by user U1, and are up to 60,000 yen.

[0064] Action plan P5 suggests incorporating two one-hour sessions at the pool (swimming) and one hour at the gym (strength training using machines) per week. Action plan P5 also suggests incorporating meal menus M5_1 to M5_7 per week, including meal menu M5_1 using foods f and g, and meal menu M5_2 using foods h and i. The budget is approximately 55,000 yen.

[0065] Action plan P6 suggests incorporating one hour at the gym three times per week as an exercise program. Action plan P6 also suggests incorporating meal menus M6_1 to M6_7 per week, including meal menu M6_1 using foods f and k, and meal menu M6_2 using foods g and k. The budget is approximately 55,000 yen.

[0066] Action plan P7 suggests incorporating one hour at the gym twice a week as an exercise program. Action plan P7 also suggests incorporating meal menus M7_1 to M7_7, including meal menu M7_1 using foods j and k and meal menu M7_2 using foods g and h, as a diet program. The budget is approximately 60,000 yen.

[0067] As a result, for example, even if user U1 cannot find a preferred action plan among the action plans P1 to P4 that are feasible within the set budget, he or she can adopt any of the action plans P5 to P7 that he or she likes, as long as it is okay to go slightly beyond the set budget.

[0068] Furthermore, the health management support system 1 may be configured to calculate and propose an action plan taking into consideration the work schedule of user U1, etc. User U1's schedule is registered in, for example, a second database. That is, the health management support system 1 may be configured to calculate and propose an action plan taking into consideration user U1's free time, calorie intake from dining out, and calorie expenditure from commuting and physical labor, etc. The calculated action plan is displayed on the monitor 30 together with user U1's schedule, for example. A brief explanation will be given below using FIG. 6.

[0069] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an action plan displayed on monitor 30 along with the user's work schedule. In the example of FIG. 6, the user is scheduled to go to work on January 17, 19, and 21, and to work from home on January 18 and 20. A meeting with a client is scheduled for the afternoon of January 21, followed by a business dinner. In this case, health management support system 1 calculates an action plan taking into account the calories consumed during the business dinner, the calories burned during commuting, and the calories burned during travel between the workplace and the client. The action plan shown in FIG. 6 suggests incorporating lunch menus M8_1 to M8_7 and dinner menus M8_8 to M8_13 (excluding the business dinner) per week as meal plans. For example, the lunch menu may be selected from the company cafeteria menu. Furthermore, the exercise plan suggests incorporating swimming in the pool during a free time in the morning of January 16 and running in the evenings of January 18 and 20. It is also suggested that people walk from their workplace to their client's place of business, and from their client's place of business to the dining venue.

[0070] As a result, the health management support system 1 can propose a more appropriate action plan without affecting the already decided schedule of the user U1 and taking into consideration the influence of the already decided schedule of the user U1.

[0071] In this way, the health management support system 1 according to this embodiment can propose an appropriate action plan to bring the health state of user U1 closer to the target health state by the end of the set period, taking into consideration not only the current information about user U1 and the target health state of user U1 at the end of the set period, but also the budget.

[0072] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the invention.

[0073] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, part or all of the control processing in the health management support system 1 can be realized by causing a CPU (Central Processing Unit) to execute a computer program.

[0074] The above-described program includes instructions (or software code) that, when loaded into a computer, cause the computer to perform one or more functions described in the embodiments. The program may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium or a tangible storage medium. By way of example and not limitation, computer-readable media or tangible storage media include random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, solid-state drive (SSD) or other memory technologies, CD-ROM, digital versatile disc (DVD), Blu-ray disc or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassette, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage device. The program may also be transmitted on a transitory computer-readable medium or communication medium. By way of example and not limitation, transitory computer-readable media or communication media include electrical, optical, acoustic, or other forms of propagated signals. [Explanation of symbols]
