Description

  The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus that uses music to determine the level of dementia / forgetfulness inspection and its level.

Conventionally, the “Hasegawa Simple Intelligence Evaluation Scale”, which is widely used as a simple diagnosis method for dementia, is composed of an evaluation method and a score. For example, the question “What year, what day, what day, what day is today?” Is a question in which one correct answer is 1 point and the total is 4 points.
And in order to support the above-mentioned determination of whether the question is correct or not, there has been a dementia diagnosis support system as described in Patent Document 1.

JP 2007-282929 A

However, these methods are diagnoses that require expert judgment, and there is a problem that forgetfulness and dementia cannot be easily examined.
In addition, these question items are mainly investigating the current state of the left brain (logic, theory, calculation, language, judgment, etc.), and the right brain (intuition, sensitivity, music, art, flash, image) There is a problem that the current state of the field of creation) is missing.

The reason for this is that art and sensibility such as music and paintings are nothing but the fact that there is a lot of stereotypes that artistic talent and logical thinking are distinct in a special field full of talent in that direction. .
According to recent brain science, there is a report that the brain is an ordinary person and uses only 3% of the whole, and there are still many unknown fields in the human brain. Certainly, it is not an exaggeration to say that animals other than humans live with sensitivity, and it seems that the distant ancestors of humanity lived with the same sensitivity as animals. With the development of the brain, that is, wisdom, the sensibility was gradually driven to the logical level, and the knowledge heaviness gradually became effective. This is presumed to be one of the causes of dementia and forgetfulness.

  The inventor believes that human beings stand on the balance between the right and left brains and deeply grasp things, and that personality is formed and humanity is cultivated. The point is that if you improve your sensibility (right brain), an excellent theory will be built, and music is effective not only for relaxation but also as a therapy, especially for diseases in the psychiatric field. We focused on the fact that music was not actively used for testing for dementia and forgetfulness.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an inspection apparatus that uses a pleasant stimulus to the sensation area of the brain by music to accurately and easily determine dementia / forgetfulness and determine the degree of progression.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a storage unit in which an examination question related to music and the music is stored, an audio output unit that outputs the music, a display unit that displays the examination question, An input means for the subject to input an answer to the inspection question, and an inspection processing means for determining the symptom level of the subject's dementia or forgetfulness from the input answer.

  Also, a storage unit storing music and a test question related to the music, a voice output means for outputting the music, a display means for displaying the test question, and a subject inputting an answer to the test question Input processing means, test processing means for determining a symptom level of dementia or forgetfulness of the subject from the input answer, and a recording unit that records past determination results of the subject, the test processing means The past determination result from the recording unit is compared with the current determination result to evaluate the improvement level of the symptom level of dementia or forgetfulness, and the evaluation result is displayed on the display means.

  According to the dementia / forgetfulness inspection apparatus of the present invention, music can be used to work on the right brain to accurately grasp the entire brain and perform an inspection easily and quickly. By using music, it is possible to improve the interest of the subject in the test and to reduce the aversion to the test and to perform the test smoothly.

  The dementia / forgetfulness inspection device of the present invention is a device that performs an examination such as determination / evaluation of dementia / forgetfulness using music, and can store data and programs as shown in FIGS. A storage unit 10 such as a hard disk, an arithmetic processing unit 13 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) capable of reading and writing data to the storage unit 10, and data such as arithmetic results and programs are temporarily stored. An inspection processing means 1 such as a computer having a temporary storage unit 14 such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory) is provided.

The storage holding unit 10 includes a storage unit 10a that holds inspection music and inspection questions related to the inspection music.
Also, audio output means 5 such as a speaker for outputting music, display means 2 such as a liquid crystal monitor or cathode ray tube monitor for displaying an inspection question, and input means such as a touch panel for a subject to input an answer to the inspection question 3 is provided.
The examination processing means 1 performs calculation processing in the calculation processing unit 13 based on the input answer, and determines the symptom level of the subject's dementia or forgetfulness.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention, the storage unit 10a stores a test question related to music for the first test and music for the first test for determining dementia or forgetfulness, and whether there is dementia or forgetfulness. The second examination music for determining the symptom level and the examination questions related to the second examination music are held. In addition, options for answering inspection questions and correct answers to inspection questions are also stored.

The storage unit 10a holds a large number of music (songs) for the first examination in association with types (genres). The music for the first examination is nursery rhymes and elementary school songs that are familiar to everyone.
The types of music for the first examination are seasonal songs, animal songs, nature songs, and play songs. Two sets of five songs are stored for each type. That is, each type is classified and stored in total 10 songs.

For example, seasonal songs include “New Year's Day”, “Happy Hina Matsuri”, “Spring Ogawa”, “Tulip”, “Sakura Sakura”, “Sakura nobori”, “Tanabata”, “Sato no Aki”, “Jingle Bell”, “Snow”, and the like. The song of the animal is "pond of pond""dance of rabbit""snail""parents and sons of the horse""seasailors""curious fish shop""Elephant""sevenchildren""karasuno""Baby","Canary who forgot to sing", "Voice of insects".
Natural songs include "flowers", "red dragonfly", "rainy moon", "sea", "the song on the beach", "coconuts", "I am a sea lion", "small sunset", "Aragi no Tsuki", "Hakone Hachiri" Etc.
The song of play is “Your Tadasa”, “Cute Fish Shop”, “Toy Chachacha”, “Kagome Kagome”, “Shattering Shoulders”, “Soap Bubbles”, “Passing Through”, “Musudare”, “Back Comparison”, “Unknown Story” Etc.

  The examination questions for the first examination are 2 to 4 questions (questions), "What is the title of this song?" "When is the season (time) of this song?" Choose a word that did not come out. "What do you feel from this song?" “What do you feel from this song?” Is a reference question, and there is no correct / incorrect answer and the answer is not included in the number of correct answers.

The music for the second examination is held by associating (classifying) a large number of music with types. The music for the second examination is a so-called popular song that the subject often played in homes and street corners in the youth. The types of music for the second examination are pre-war (popular) songs, (Showa 20's) (Fashion) songs, and Showa 30's (Fashion) songs. Two sets of 5 songs are stored for each type. In other words, a total of 10 songs are stored for each type.
In addition, these songs are clearly the main characters (people and animals) of the song, and the scenes such as the distinction between old and young, the feeling of the seasons, the distinction between day and night (time zone), and what they are trying to do are clear and emotional. Something is selected.

For example, pre-war songs include “Lakeside Inn”, “Red Light Blue Light”, “Kimi Koishi”, “Foreign Hill”, “Parting Blues”, “Beyond the Hill”, “Travel Night”, “Border Town” “Night of China”, “Suzhou Night Song”, “Mt.
The songs of the Showa 20s are “Hawaii Routes of Longing”, “Lil Returning to Shanghai”, “Otomi-san”, “Tokyo Flower Sales Girl”, “Blue Mountains”, “Sad Whistle”, “Song of Apples”, “Nagasaki Bell” “Yunomachi Elegy” “To the flow of stars” “The plateau train goes”.
The songs of the 1950s are: “There is happiness here” “Ippon no cedar” “Wang Sho” “North Return” “High School Third Grade” “Life Theater” “A Dream Anytime” “When Acacia Rain Stops” “ “Let's walk up” and “Old Castle”.

The examination questions for the second examination are selection questions of 2 to 4 choices, such as “title”, “young and old men and women of the hero”, “situation of the hero”, “season”, “time zone”, etc. And how the subject felt after listening to ".
Specifically, "What is the title of this song?""Is the main character of this song male or female?""When is the season of this song?""When is the time of this song?" “What is the main character doing now (what are you trying to do or where are you?)” “Please choose a word that did not appear in this song” “What do you feel from this song” . That is, the inspection question for the second inspection is a little more difficult than the inspection question for the first inspection.

These inspection questions for the second inspection associate scores with correct answers.
For example, "What is the title of this song?" And "Is the main character of this song male or female?" “When is the season for this song?” And “When is the time for this song?” “What is the main character doing now (what are you trying to do or where are you?)” And “Please choose a word that did not appear in this song” 3 points each. “What do you feel from this song?” Is a reference question, 0 points. A score of 12 points is given for each inspection question of a song (song).

  Furthermore, the storage unit 10a holds the lyrics of the music for the first and second inspections and the background image such as a still image and a moving image associated with the music for the first and second inspections. The background image is a scene or a scene of a person closely related to the music content. For example, in the case of “New Year”, it is a picture of a child flying a kite, a picture of a cat and a kotatsu, or the like. Multiple songs are associated with one song and saved.

The examination processing means 1 calculates the total number of correct answers of the first examination from the answer of the first examination inputted via the input means 3 to determine dementia or forgetfulness.
For example, in the first examination, when five songs are inspected (a total of 15 questions with correct / incorrect answers), if the number of correct answers is less than 1 (0), dementia (or its risk) High). In the case of two or more, it is determined that the possibility of forgetting is high and the second inspection should be taken. In the case of one, it is determined that the first examination should be taken again (re-examination) or the expert's judgment should be sought.

Further, in the second inspection, the inspection processing means 1 performs the calculation of the number of correct answers for each song and the calculation of the total number of correct answers for the second inspection. The symptom level (normal, mild, moderate, severe) of dementia or forgetfulness is determined from the total correct score.
For example, in the second inspection, when 5 songs are inspected, 60 points are perfect, 24 points or more are normal, 12 to 24 points are mild forgetfulness, 6 to 12 points are moderate forgetfulness Diagnosis of dementia (high risk) with less than 1 point (0 point) and severe forgetfulness of 1 to less than 6 points.

In the first embodiment of the present invention described above, after a predetermined operation such as inputting the identification number of the subject is performed, an inspection is performed using the music for the first inspection in step S1 of FIG. . Next, in step S2, the number of correct answers for the first examination question is calculated. If the number of correct answers is greater than or equal to the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S3. If it is less than the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S6. If the number of correct answers is less than the predetermined number, the process may return to step S1 so as to receive the first inspection again.
Specifically, the first inspection is performed with 5 songs. If the total number of correct answers inspected with five songs is two or more, the process proceeds to step S3. In the case of one, the first inspection is re-inspected and the process returns to step S1. If it is less than 1 (0), the process proceeds to step S6. Further, when the first examination is re-inspected, the display unit 2 displays the music so that a different type of music from the re-inspected music is selected.

Then, in step S3, an inspection is performed using the second inspection music. In the next step S4, the number of correct answers for the second examination question is calculated. If the correct answer score is equal to or greater than the predetermined score, the process proceeds to step S5. If it is less than the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S6.
Specifically, the second inspection is performed with 60 points out of 5 songs. The process proceeds to step S5 with one or more points. If less than 1 point (0 points), the process proceeds to step S6.

When the process proceeds to step S5, determination of the symptom level of forgetfulness (memory failure) is determined. If the process proceeds to step S6, the diagnosis is dementia (high risk of dementia).
Specifically, in step S5, it is determined that 24 points or more are normal, 12 to 24 points are light forgetting, 6 to 12 points are forgetful, 1 to 6 points are forgetful. decide.
After the determination is determined, the process proceeds to step S7, the determination result (inspection result) is displayed on the display means 2, and the inspection ends.

Here, the first inspection will be further described. When the examination is started, in step S10 of FIG. 4, the display means 2 displays a screen for allowing the subject to select the type of song used for the examination.
Specifically, a question asking the subject about the type of music (nursery rhyme) used in the first examination as shown in FIG. 5, a type of music, and a selection button 50 corresponding to the type of music are displayed. Also, the question is output by voice from the voice output means 5. In FIG. 5, “anything is possible” is a set of five songs by mixing four types of music for the first inspection. That is, five types of options are displayed for the first examination. Display is made so as to select one of the two types of “part 1” and “part 2”.
The input means 3 composed of a touch panel is provided in the vicinity of the display screen of the display means 2 so as to correspond to the displayed content, and a finger, a touch pen, etc. are provided on the operation buttons 50 of the display screen on which the subject is displayed. Is brought into contact with the input means 3 and a response to the question is input.

The examination processing means 1 reads out the music and title corresponding to the type selected by the subject from the storage unit 10a. The display means 2 displays the title of music (song) and a start button 50 as shown in FIG. The voice output means 5 outputs the title as a voice.
When “Start” is input, the prelude of the song is output from the audio output means 5 while the title is displayed.

  When the prelude ends, the process proceeds to step S11 in FIG. A song is output from the audio output means 5. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, the display means 2 displays the lyrics of the song and the background image related to the song. Switch the background image according to the song (lyrics). For example, in the case of “small sunset”, the display is sequentially switched to a picture such as a sunset sky, a mountain temple, a child holding hands and a crow flying in the sky.

  When the first song ends, the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG. 4, and the display means 2 displays the examination question and answer options in a divided screen as shown in FIG. When the input of the button 50 corresponding to “character expansion” is confirmed, only the inspection question screen is displayed on the entire screen. If an answer is input, it will become a split screen again. During the examination question display, the voice output means 5 repeatedly outputs the melody (accompaniment) of the song corresponding to the examination question. Also, the inspection question is output as a voice.

  When all of the answers to the inspection question for the first song are input, the process proceeds to step S13 shown in FIG. The number of correct answers is calculated by the inspection processing means 1. The display means 2 displays the number of correct answers for one song as shown in FIG.

  In step S14 of FIG. 4, the first inspection is performed with five songs. The inspection processing means 1 confirms whether or not five songs have been inspected, and if there is any remaining music, the title of the next music is displayed on the display means 2 as shown in FIG. Let Steps S11 to S13 are repeated until the inspection of five songs is completed.

  When the inspection of five songs is completed, the process proceeds to step S15. The inspection processing means calculates the total number of correct answers. The display means 2 displays the total number of correct answers. The first inspection ends.

  Next, the second examination proceeds as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4 using five pieces of music as in the first examination, but the music is for the second examination (popular song).

  As shown in FIG. 11, a screen for causing the subject to select the type (genre) of the song used for the second examination is displayed on the display means 2. Note that “anything” is a set of five music pieces mixed with three types of music for the second inspection. That is, four types of options are displayed for the second examination.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the title of music (song) and a start button 50 are displayed. The voice output means 5 outputs the title as a voice. When the start is input, the prelude of the song is output from the audio output means 5 while the title is displayed.

  When the prelude ends, as shown in FIG. 13, the display means displays the lyrics of the song and the background image related to the song. Switch the background image according to the song (lyrics). A song is output from the audio output means 5.

When the song is finished, the examination question and answer options are displayed in a divided screen as shown in FIG. The voice output means 5 outputs a song song (melody, accompaniment) corresponding to the inspection question while the inspection question is displayed. Also, the inspection question is output as a voice.
After the answer is input, the inspection processing means 1 calculates the inspection score. As shown in FIG. 15, the display means 2 displays the number of correct answers. Thereafter, the second inspection is terminated.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention (that is, a form that can be said to be an inspection apparatus effective in improving dementia and forgetfulness) will be described.
Similar to the first embodiment, the examination processing means 1 that calculates the symptom level of the subject's dementia or forgetting by processing the answer, the storage holding part 10 having the storage part 10a, the display part 2, Input means 3 and audio output means 5 are provided.

  And the memory | storage holding | maintenance part 10 has the recording part 10b which preserve | saved the test subject's past determination result. The past determination results are stored in association with the identification symbol, electronic medical record, etc. of the subject input before the examination.

  The test processing means 1 evaluates the improvement of the symptom level of dementia or forgetfulness by comparing the past determination result from the recording unit 10b with the current determination result. The display means 2 displays the evaluation result.

  The storage unit 10a stores 25 pieces of music such as old melodies (old fashionable songs), enka, mood songs, folk songs, movie music, military songs, jazz, commercial songs, etc. as music used for the examination. Yes.

  In addition, the title, lyrics, background image of each song, and only the prelude of each music, the replacement song with the lyrics replaced, and the arrangement (arrangement) with the rhythm and speed changed to jazz or Latin, etc. Has been.

In the second embodiment, when a predetermined operation such as input of a subject's identification symbol or the like is performed and the examination starts, a screen for selecting the type of song in step S51 of FIG. 16 is as shown in FIG. Is displayed. When the type selection input is made, the process proceeds to step S52, and the display means 2 displays a screen asking for selection of the course to be inspected, as shown in FIG.
There are five courses: a standard course, a background painting course, a prelude course, a replacement song course, and an arrangement course. Different storage questions for each course are stored in the storage unit 10a.

  In the standard course, as in the second examination described above, the singing voice is output from the sound output means 5 to the prelude and the lyrics and background are displayed on the display means 2. In this course, the correct score for each song is calculated, and then the total (5 songs) correct scores are displayed.

  With the background image course, only the background image used in the second examination is displayed on the display means 2 at intervals of 10 seconds every 5 seconds. The title of the song, the name of the singer, the title of the movie, This is a course for asking questions about actor names. A correct song is output with any of the inspection questions or with a predetermined number of correct answers. It is desirable that the answer is filled in with a touch pen.

  The prelude course is a course in which the title of a song is questioned while only the prelude is being output. If the answer is correct, songs 1 to 3 will flow according to the number of seconds spent in answering. If the answer is incorrect, the correct answer is displayed on the display means 2. It is desirable that the answer is filled in with a touch pen.

  The surrogate course is a course in which after the prelude is played, words (singing voices) that are not in the original lyrics are output, and only the accompaniment is output at the end of No. 1, and the title of the original song is questioned. If the answer is correct, an inspection question such as the above-described second inspection is displayed. After the answer is input, the correct answer score obtained by the calculation is displayed.

  The arrangement course is a course in which a song accompaniment (melody) is arranged in jazz style or Latin style, and the title of the original song is asked.

  In step S56 of FIG. 16, an inspection question for the selected course is performed. When the answer is input, in step S57, the symptom level of dementia or forgetfulness is determined by the inspection processing means 1 from the difficulty level of the inspection question, the number of correct answers, or the number of correct answers. In step S58, the determination result is displayed on the display means 2. The determination result is stored in the recording unit 10b in association with the subject's identification symbol, date, electronic medical record, and the like.

  In the next step S56, the inspection processing means 1 searches the recording unit 10b for whether there is a past determination result of the determined subject. If there is no past (previous) determination result, the current determination result is displayed, and then the inspection is terminated. If there is a past determination result, the process proceeds to step S57, and the past determination result is compared with the current determination result to evaluate the improvement of the symptom level of dementia or forgetfulness. That is, the progress (trend) of whether the current symptom is in a recovery tendency or a worsening tendency is examined. Easy and concise display with symbols and numerical values such as double circles.

  After that, proceeding to step S58, a table comparing the past determination results and the current determination results, a graph showing the improvement of symptoms, a numerical value, a song evaluated for each kind of song or course, Display as an evaluation table. Thereafter, the inspection is terminated.

The results of the “Hasegawa Simple Intelligence Evaluation Scale” and “Comprehensive Diagnosis” (inquiry, visual inspection, psychological / intelligence / functional test, image inspection, whole body health check), and the determination result by the apparatus of the present invention 19 out of 20 persons matched, and it was proved that the apparatus of the present invention was accurate while being simple and quick.
Furthermore, when 10 subjects were repeatedly examined over the course of one year, it was found that the brain was gradually activated, and dementia (dementia) and forgetfulness were gradually alleviated and improved.
There has been an accustomed phrase, `` Songs go to the world, the world goes to songs, '' and the songs reflect the world, and there is a song of the heart in our lives, and we have lived in life with songs and two people tripods It is no exaggeration to say. That is, music (song) is the one that most stimulates sensibility, and something superior to music is probably not. Sensitivity will be transmitted through the neural circuit (corpus callosum) to open the memory door. And music (especially meditation, mood song, commercial song) overlaps with the life of the subject, experiences at the time, customs, food, town scenery, work, friends, It is thought that the singer's name and stage costumes were revived from forgetting and the brain was gradually activated. Also, because music is fun and enjoyable, repeating is not painful, and it is a repetitive training of sensibility with music with the right brain in a relaxed state, even if it is considerably advanced dementia or forgetfulness gradually It can be said that the circuit to the left brain is connected, shakes and resonates, the corpus callosum opens and a network is formed, singing and the sensitivity and scene at that time are connected, memory at that time is revived like a running horse light, and the desire for life is restored. .

  In the present invention, the design can be changed. For example, the background image may be a photograph or a moving image. The music stored in the storage unit 10a in the first embodiment may be 10 or more. The storage holding unit 10 may be a drive (read / write) device holding an external storage medium such as a DVD, CD, or USB memory. The input means 3 may be a mouse, a keyboard, a microphone, or the like. In addition, we gathered a number of favorite songs that were actually viewed and selected from the subject's favorite types (enka, melodies, classical music, jazz, etc.), and made a custom-made test You may make it preserve | save in the memory | storage part 10a as music (songbook). In addition, popular songs may be classified not only by age but also by lyrics or singers.

Further, the inspection processing means 1 is used as a server, and the inspection is performed by wired or wireless connection to the display means 2, the input means 3, the audio output means 5 and the like via an information communication network such as the Internet or a LAN (local area network). Is also free. In the present invention, the subject explained that the operation input and the like, but the subject answered the examination question verbally or in writing, and a medical worker such as a relative or a caregiver took the place. Input to the input means 3 is also free. Although the contents displayed as determination and evaluation are not shown, the number of correct answers (points), evaluation (table), etc. may be printed by an external output device such as a printer.
Moreover, the content of the answer of the reference question which is not related to a correct answer is recorded on the recording part 10b, and a doctor etc. can use it as a reference to a diagnosis or treatment as a material which knows a test subject's state with a determination result.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the storage unit 10a in which the examination question related to music and music is stored, the audio output means 5 for outputting music, the display means 2 for displaying the examination question, And the test means 1 for determining the symptom level of the subject's dementia or forgetfulness from the input answer, so that the entire brain is acted on the right brain using music. It is possible to perform an inspection by accurately grasping. It is possible to easily and quickly determine whether a person has dementia with a small number of healthcare workers. The interest of the subject can be improved by music, the abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior can be suppressed, and further, the test can be smoothly performed by the subject while solving social anxiety. It is a fun and enjoyable test using music, which reduces the dislike of the test and allows the test to be repeated without causing pain to the subject. The sensibility repeatedly stimulated by the music of the test is transmitted through the neural circuit (corpus callosum) to open the memory door. And the experience, customs, food, the scenery of the town, the work that I was involved with, the names of the singers and the stage costumes were revived from the oblivion, and my brain was gradually activated. Make it. As a result, sensibility is improved and the entire brain can be revived to improve dementia and forgetfulness.

  In addition, the storage unit 10a in which the examination questions related to music and music are stored, the audio output means 5 for outputting music, the display means 2 for displaying the examination questions, and the subject inputs the answers to the examination questions. The test processing means 1 includes an input means 3, a test processing means 1 that determines a subject's dementia or forgetfulness symptom level from an input answer, and a recording unit 10 b that records a test subject's past determination results. Since the past determination result from the recording unit 10b is compared with the current determination result to evaluate the improvement level of the symptom level of dementia or forgetfulness, and the evaluation result is displayed on the display unit 3, music is used. It can work on the right brain to accurately grasp the entire brain for examination. It is possible to easily and quickly determine whether a person has dementia with a small number of healthcare workers. The interest of the subject can be improved by music, the abnormal behavior and abnormal behavior can be suppressed, and further, the test can be smoothly performed by the subject while solving social anxiety. It is a fun and enjoyable test using music, which reduces the dislike of the test and allows the test to be repeated without causing pain to the subject. In addition, the subject can be encouraged to voluntarily undergo an examination by displaying the evaluation result. The sensibility repeatedly stimulated by the music used for the test is transmitted through the neural circuit (corpus callosum) and opens the memory door. And the experience, customs, food, the scenery of the town, the work that I was involved with, the names of the singers and the stage costumes were revived from the oblivion, and my brain was gradually activated. Make it. As a result, sensibility is improved and the entire brain can be revived to improve dementia and forgetfulness.
