[0028] The information regarding the guardian mentioned above refers to information that is subject to analysis by the service device (200) for providing customized content for the guardian. The information basically includes information on the guardian's psychological state. Furthermore, as will be described later, the information may additionally include at least one of evaluation information of a person with cognitive impairment and biometric information of the guardian.

[0029] The step (400) of re-evaluating the state of the guardian who performed the customized content may include, after the step of providing the customized content, the service device (200) receiving information about the guardian who performed the customized content, calculating an indicator representing the psychological state of the guardian who performed the content, comparing this indicator with an indicator representing the psychological state of the guardian before performing the content, determining whether there is a change in the psychological state of the guardian who performed the content, and then determining whether to maintain, change, or stop the customized content, or to add separate content.

[0030] The step (400) of re-evaluating the state of the guardian who performed the above customized content may be performed periodically at regular intervals. For example, the service device (200) may receive information on the guardian's psychological state again once a month, calculate an indicator representing the psychological state, and compare this with the psychological state before performing the content to determine if there is a change in the guardian's psychological state.

[0032] Information regarding the guardian of a person with cognitive impairment basically includes information regarding the guardian's psychological state (psychological state information).

[0033] The above information may further include at least one of 'biometric information of the guardian of the person with cognitive impairment' and 'evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment'.

[0034] Information on the psychological state of the caregiver of the person with cognitive impairment mentioned above may also be obtained by using a booklet containing questions prepared in the form of a survey, or by using a PC, smart device, wearable device, etc.

[0035] The above-mentioned guardian's biometric information may also be obtained using devices such as PCs, smart devices, and wearable devices equipped with sensors such as cameras and microphones.

[0036] The above assessment information on individuals with cognitive impairment can be obtained from a medical institution's server or database (Electronic Medical Record, EMR).

[0038] The service device (200) calculates an indicator representing the psychological state of the guardian based on the input information, determines customized content to alleviate the psychological state of the guardian based on this indicator, and provides it to the guardian (300).

[0039] The above service device (200) may be physically implemented in various forms. For example, the service device (200) may be a device such as a PC, a laptop, a network server, a chipset dedicated to data processing, or a smart device.

[0040] The above service device (200) may store the received information in its own storage medium or a separate database.

[0041] The above service device (200) may store customized content on its own storage medium or in a separate database.

[0043] In the step of determining customized content for a guardian in FIG. 1 (300), the customized content for the guardian may include content to alleviate the guardian's psychological state according to the guardian's psychological state indicator.

[0044] The above customized content may include content designed to alleviate the guardian's psychological state based on indicators corresponding to each item of the guardian's psychological state.

[0045] The above customized content may include content designed to alleviate the guardian's psychological state based on the guardian's psychological state indicators output according to the scores of all items of the guardian's psychological state.

[0046] The above customized content may include content intended to alleviate the psychological state of the guardian based on the psychological state indicators output by the learning model in the technology described below.

[0047] The aforementioned customized content refers to content that can improve the psychological or mental health status of a caregiver of a person with cognitive impairment.

[0048] The above customized content may include educational content for improving psychological state, mental counseling content, physical activity content, diagnosis by medical staff, and cognitive rehabilitation content capable of improving or maintaining the cognitive abilities of individuals with cognitive impairments.

[0057] FIG. 2 is an example illustrating information input to a service device (200).

[0058] The information primarily input into the above service device is 'information on the guardian's psychological state'.

[0059] The above psychological state information may include at least one of the caregiver's personality type, psychological distress scale information, depression scale information, and care burden scale.

[0060] Personality types can be evaluated as a tool for understanding an individual's tendencies. For example, a personality type may be the result of assessments such as the MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator).

[0061] Information based on some of the items from the 'REACH (Resources for Enhancing Alzheimer's Caregiver Health) Score' may also be used as the aforementioned caregiver psychological distress scale information. For example, the psychological distress scale can be evaluated using answers to questions such as whether one feels exhausted and unable to do anything, whether one feels the urge to cry, whether one feels angry or disappointed, or whether one feels abandoned by other family members.

[0062] The 'Zarit Burden Score' may also be used as information for the aforementioned caregiver's care burden scale. For example, the care burden can be assessed using answers to items such as whether one feels they do not have enough time for themselves due to spending time with the patient, whether they feel stressed between caring for the patient and responsibilities at work or home, whether they feel anxious when with the patient, and whether they do not know what to do for the patient.

[0063] The above information on the caregiver's depression scale may use the 'Geriatric Depression Scale'. For example, the depression scale can be evaluated using answers to questions such as whether one is generally satisfied with their current life, whether their activity level or motivation has decreased significantly, whether they feel refreshed, whether they often feel hopeless, whether they have good energy, or whether they feel hopeless.

[0064] The information input into the above service device may further include 'biometric information of the guardian of a person with cognitive impairment'.

[0065] The biometric information of the guardian of the person with cognitive impairment may include at least one of the 'biometric signal', 'face image', 'voice information', and 'lifelog' of the guardian of the person with cognitive impairment.

[0066] The above 'biosignals' may include at least one of an electrocardiogram, an electroencephalogram, an electromyogram, skin conductivity, skin temperature, respiratory volume, blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation.

[0067] The above 'face image' may include at least one of a facial expression and a facial gaze.

[0068] The above 'voice information' may include at least one of pronunciation, voice volume, voice pitch, and speech content.

[0069] The above 'lifelog' may include at least one of activity level, meal information, exercise information, sleep information, walking information, and time spent caring for a person with cognitive impairment.

[0070] The information input to the above service device may further include 'cognitive impairment assessment information'.

[0071] The above-mentioned assessment information for a person with cognitive impairment may include at least one of 'information on the personal / social functioning of the person with cognitive impairment', 'information on the diagnosis of cognitive impairment', 'information on the cognitive impairment scale', and 'information on abnormal behavior'.

[0072] The above 'information on the personal / social functioning of a person with cognitive impairment' may include information such as the behaviors performed by the person with cognitive impairment and the content of conversations with other people.

[0073] The above 'cognitive impairment diagnosis' may include mild cognitive impairment, subjective cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Lucy body dementia, etc.

[0074] The Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and the Global Deterioration Scale may be used as the above 'cognitive impairment scale information'.

[0075] The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) may also be used as the above 'abnormal behavior information'.

[0076] The above-mentioned input information may be stored in a separate information database or directly input into a service device.

[0078] In the technology described below, the service device (200) calculates an indicator representing the psychological state of the guardian based on the input information and determines and provides customized content (300) that alleviates the psychological state to the guardian.

[0080] FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a process in which a service device (200) calculates individual indicators based on the evaluation results of items included in the input information, determines the customized content based on the individual indicators, and provides it to the guardian. Here, the individual indicators correspond to the evaluation results of the guardian's psychological state.

[0081] The individual items of the above-mentioned input information may include items for the psychological distress scale, items for the care burden scale, and items for the depression scale.

[0082] The above service device (200) can select customized content based on the results of the above psychological state evaluation items. For example, the customized content may include a first content based on personality type, a second content based on a psychological distress scale, a third content regarding a depression scale, a fourth content regarding a care burden scale, etc.

[0083] When calculating individual indicators, the above service device (200) may also calculate them by further considering the guardian's biometric information or the evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment.

[0085] FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a process in which a service device (200) calculates a score for individual items of input information, calculates an indicator representing the psychological state of the guardian based on the score of all items, determines customized content, and provides it to the guardian.

[0086] The individual items of the above-mentioned input information may include items for the psychological distress scale, items for the care burden scale, and items for the depression scale.

[0087] The above service device (200) may also calculate the indicator by further considering the guardian's biometric information or the evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment when calculating the indicator.

[0088] The above service device (200) can calculate a final indicator based on individual scores for individual items included in the guardian's psychological state information. For example, the service device (200) may use a value obtained by summing the scores of individual items or a weighted sum of the items as an indicator. Of course, the indicator can be determined in various ways that can be logically developed.

[0089] The above service device (200) can calculate a final indicator using the psychological state information of the guardian and the evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment. For example, when the service device (200) uses the sum of scores for individual items of the guardian's psychological state information or the weighted sum of items as an indicator, it may also consider the evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment by converting it into a score or by giving weights to each item. In this case, a mathematical formula generated through statistically analyzed results may also be used.

[0090] The above service device (200) can calculate a final indicator using the guardian's psychological state information, the guardian's biometric information, and the evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment. For example, when the service device (200) uses the sum of scores for individual items of the guardian's psychological state information or the weighted sum of items as an indicator, it may also consider the evaluation information and biometric information of the person with cognitive impairment by converting them into scores or by giving weights to each item.

[0091] The above service device (200) can select customized content based on a final indicator. At this time, the final indicator representing the guardian's status and the customized content must be matched in advance. For example, the storage medium or DB of the service device (200) can store the result of matching the indicator and the customized content in a table format.

[0093] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a process in which a service device (200) inputs information on the psychological state of a guardian received into a pre-trained learning model to obtain an indicator of the guardian's psychological state. In this case, the learning model may be a model trained to receive information on the psychological state of a guardian of a person with cognitive impairment and output an indicator representing the guardian's psychological state.

[0094] The aforementioned learning model refers to a machine learning model, and a machine learning model can be of various types. For example, a machine learning model may be a decision tree, RF (random forest), KNN (K-nearest neighbor), Naive Bayes, SVM (support vector machine), ANN (artificial neural network), etc.

[0095] The above ANN can be a DNN (Deep Neural Network), and may include CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), RBM (Restricted Boltzmann Machine), DBN (Deep Belief Network), GAN (Generative Adversarial Network), RL (Relation Networks), etc.

[0096] The above learning model (210) may undergo a learning process that uses existing information on the psychological state of a guardian as learning data to output an indicator representing the psychological state of the guardian (211).

[0097] The learning data used in the above learning process (211) may include existing psychological state information of a guardian of a person with cognitive impairment. In addition, it may further include at least one of the existing biometric information of a guardian of a person with cognitive impairment and evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment.

[0098] The learning process (211) of the above learning model includes a process of inputting data received as learning data into the learning model and updating the parameters of the learning model by comparing the output value with the labeled value.

[0099] The learning process (211) in which the above learning model learns can be performed on a separate computer device. The learning device repeats the process of learning the learning model using multiple learning data.

[0100] The training data used in the above training process (211) may be used immediately or after undergoing a preprocessing process (212).

[0101] The process of preprocessing the above data (212) may include data cleaning, data integration, data conversion, data extraction, data discretization, etc.

[0102] After the learning process is completed, the above learning model can receive information on the mental state of the caregiver of the person with cognitive impairment and output an indicator representing the caregiver's psychological state. (213)

[0103] The step (213) of outputting an indicator representing the above psychological state may further include a step of receiving at least one of the biometric information of the guardian of the person with cognitive impairment and the evaluation information of the person with cognitive impairment and outputting an indicator representing the guardian's psychological state.

[0104] The above service device can determine customized content to alleviate the psychological state of the guardian based on an indicator representing the psychological state of the guardian output by the learning model, and provide it to the guardian.

[0105] The service device (200) can select customized content based on the final indicator. At this time, the final indicator representing the guardian's status and the customized content must be matched in advance. For example, the storage medium or DB of the service device (200) can store the result of matching the indicator and the customized content in a table format.

[0107] Figure 6 is an example of a process for providing content to individuals with cognitive impairments based on their evaluation information.

[0108] The service device receives input regarding the assessment information of a person with cognitive impairment. Among the assessment information of the person with cognitive impairment, the service device identifies "looking for glasses every day" as the problem behavior that can cause the most distress to the caregiver. Along with this, the service device may also receive additional input regarding the caregiver's psychological state or biometric information.

[0109] The above service device can provide customized cognitive rehabilitation content to a guardian based on the identified problem behavior of a person with cognitive impairment. For example, as a countermeasure for the problem behavior of "looking for glasses every day," the above service device can provide "designating a specific place and having the glasses always be placed there, and then continuously providing guidance to the person with cognitive impairment," and can set the goal as "looking for glasses once every two days instead of the current three times a day."

[0110] The above service device receives input from the guardian who performed the relevant cognitive rehabilitation content regarding whether coping measures were implemented and whether goals were achieved. The service device analyzes whether goals have been achieved and, based on the results, may suggest new coping measures or goals, or identify other problematic behaviors and provide customized content accordingly.

[0111] The process of Fig. 6 involves providing content to individuals with cognitive impairment based on evaluation information of individuals with cognitive impairment, but in a broader sense, it corresponds to customized content for the caregivers of individuals with cognitive impairment. This is because such a method can alleviate the symptoms of individuals with cognitive impairment and prevent the cognitive impairment from progressing to a severe stage, thereby reducing the caregiving burden on the caregivers of individuals with cognitive impairment or improving their psychological state.

[0113] FIG. 7 is an example of a service device (600) that provides customized content for guardians of people with cognitive impairments.
