  However, in the conventional system, when a patient rents a care device, a third party such as a care manager needs to select a care device that seems appropriate for the patient from a group of care devices in stock. This makes it possible to select the wrong care device due to a mistake in the judgment of the care manager, or to create a situation where the decision of care device selection may differ depending on the care manager even under the same conditions. There was a problem that cases of lack of sex could occur.

  In addition, the use of care devices may be restricted depending on the patient's usage environment. In particular, in a nursing care device relating to movement, such as a wheelchair, usable nursing care devices may be limited depending on the width of a passage within the range of action and the size and weight when loaded on a car. Since the use environment of the patient is not taken into consideration, there is a problem that the patient may be forced to have difficulty even if he / she intends to provide an appropriate care device for the provider.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, and provides a care device operation support system that can stably provide appropriate care devices according to the symptoms of a patient. One purpose.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a care device operation support system that can stably provide a more appropriate care device in consideration of the use environment of the patient.

  One aspect of a care device operation support system according to the present invention is a care device operation support system for providing an appropriate care device to a patient, and patient information on physical aptitude for the care device based on the patient's symptoms Based on the patient information and the care device information, the appropriate care device is extracted based on the input means for inputting information, the storage means for storing the care device information about the care device that is held together with the patient information Extracting means for outputting, and result output means for outputting the extraction result in the extracting means.

  According to the care device operation support system configured as described above, the input means inputs the physical aptitude for the required care device, such as the patient's symptoms and physique, as patient information. The inputted patient information is stored in the storage means. In addition to the patient information, the storage means stores the type, suitability, operational status, etc. of the care device possessed by a facility such as a hospital as care device information.

  Then, according to the inputted patient information, the extraction device extracts care devices having specifications appropriate for the patient, and the result output unit outputs the extraction result.

  Thus, by comparing and collating patient information and care device information, it is possible to stably provide an appropriate care device in accordance with the patient's symptoms.

  Further, another aspect of the care device operation support system according to the present invention is a care device operation support system for providing an appropriate care device to a patient, and the physical aptitude for the care device based on the patient's symptoms Input means for inputting the patient information and environmental information about the use environment of the care device, storage means for storing the care device information about the care device held together with the patient information and the environment information, Based on the patient information, the environment information, and the care device information, an extraction unit that extracts an appropriate care device and a result output unit that outputs an extraction result in the extraction unit are provided.

  According to the nursing equipment operation support system having the above-described configuration, the physical means of the patient's symptoms and physique such as the patient's symptom and physique are input by the input means, and the patient uses the nursing equipment used as environmental information The usage environment such as location is entered. The input patient information and environment information are stored in the storage means. In addition to the patient information and the environment information, the storage means stores the type, suitability, operational status, etc. of the care device possessed by a facility such as a hospital as care device information.

  Then, in accordance with the input patient information and environmental information, the extraction unit extracts care devices having specifications appropriate for the patient, and the result output unit outputs the extraction result.

  Thus, by comparing and collating patient information and care device information, it is possible to stably provide an appropriate care device in accordance with the patient's symptoms. Furthermore, since the use environment of the patient can be taken into consideration, more appropriate care equipment can be provided stably.

  Preferably, the care device information is configured to include evaluation information about a case where the care device is used.

  In this case, the nursing care device information includes evaluation information from various viewpoints such as the expected efficacy when using the nursing care device and quantitative expectation, convenience, cost performance, etc. ing. Therefore, it can be used as a reference for determining whether or not the nursing care device output by the result output means is actually used. In particular, it is more effective when a plurality of nursing care devices are output and one of them is selected.

  Preferably, the storage means stores past extraction results for each of the care devices as operation history information together with information input to the input means at that time, and subsequently extracts when the same care device is extracted by the extraction means. The operation history information can be output together with the result.

  In this case, every time a care device is extracted, the extraction result of the care device and information (patient information or patient information and environment information) input at this time are stored in the storage means as operation history information. Then, when the same care device is extracted by the extraction means after the next time, the result output means outputs the operation history information together with the care device information.

  In this way, since it is possible to know information such as a symptom, a physique, and the surrounding environment of a user who has previously used the care device output as a result, the care device output as a result based on the information is used. It is possible to make a final determination as to whether or not it is in a more realistic manner.

  Preferably, when the patient information about a patient who is using the care device is updated while the care device is being provided, the extraction unit re-extracts an appropriate care device based on the changed patient information. Configured to do.

  In this case, when the patient's symptom changes or the living environment changes during the provision of nursing care equipment, the information corresponding to the input means is re-input, and the nursing care based on the patient information is updated. The equipment is re-extracted. Therefore, since it can respond flexibly to changes in the patient's symptoms and the like, it is possible to provide the user with a more appropriate care device as needed.

  Preferably, the input means is configured to be a portable information terminal such as a mobile phone.

  In this case, the user can use the care device operation support system according to the present invention without going to a facility such as a hospital that actually manages the care device. Therefore, a procedure (reservation or the like) for using the care device can be performed in advance using the care device operation support system without going to a facility such as a hospital that manages the care device.

  Preferably, the care device is configured to be a wheelchair.

  Among wheelchairs, wheelchairs are inconvenient for users depending on the patient's symptoms (for example, whether they can operate or need a caregiver) and the surrounding environment (for example, passage width, size of the car on which the wheelchair is loaded). It is one of the nursing care devices that are likely to occur. By applying the care device operation support system of the present invention to a wheelchair, it is possible to select a wheelchair that is more suitable for the user, and to prevent inconvenience for the user.

  According to the care device operation support system according to the present invention, it is possible to stably provide appropriate care devices according to the patient's symptoms by comparing and collating patient information and care device information. Furthermore, since the use environment of the patient can be taken into consideration, more appropriate care equipment can be provided stably.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a care device operation support system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The care device operation support system according to the present embodiment is a care device operation support system for providing an appropriate care device to a patient. The patient's symptoms, physique, etc. Input means 1 for inputting patient information and environmental information about the usage environment such as a place where the care device is used, and the type, suitability, and operation status of the care device held together with the patient information and the environment information Storage means 2 for storing care device information such as, extraction means 3 for extracting an appropriate care device based on the patient information, the environment information, and the care device information, and an extraction result in the extraction means 3 And a result output means 4 for outputting. In this embodiment, a keyboard or mouse of a computer terminal such as a personal computer is used as the input means 1, a hard disk of the computer as the storage means 2, a CPU of the computer as the extraction means 3, and a computer monitor as the result output means 4. One computer may cause all components to function, or a plurality of computers that are communicably connected via the Internet or a LAN may be used.

  According to the nursing equipment operation support system having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, the input means 1 inputs the patient's physical suitability for the nursing equipment, such as the patient's symptoms and physique, as environmental information. The usage environment such as the place where the patient uses the care equipment is input. The inputted patient information and environment information are stored in the storage means 2. In addition to the patient information and the environment information, the storage unit 2 stores the type, suitability, operational status, and the like of the care device held by a facility such as a hospital as care device information.

  Then, according to the input patient information and environmental information, the extraction unit 3 extracts care devices having specifications appropriate for the patient, and the result output unit 4 outputs the extraction result.

  Thus, by comparing and collating patient information and care device information, it is possible to stably provide an appropriate care device in accordance with the patient's symptoms. Furthermore, since the use environment of the patient can be taken into consideration, more appropriate care equipment can be provided stably.

  More specific description will be given below. In this embodiment, a case where only a wheelchair is employed as a care device will be described as an example. FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a display screen in each terminal of FIG.

First, patient information is input to the input means 1. The input information source may be any medical record from a hospital (whether it is handwritten or electronic), a report from a patient or family member (interview), or the like. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the wheelchair is employ | adopted as a care apparatus, it is comprised focusing on the parameter regarding walking especially. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a physical ability parameter P1A is provided, and is quantitatively distributed into, for example, the following four stages A to D according to symptoms.
(Table 1)
Parameter aptitude
There is A physical strength
B Self control possible
C Self-control difficulty (including the use of electric vehicles)
D Need assistance

In addition, a parameter P1B ′ indicating the physique is also provided, and for example, it is quantitatively distributed into the following eight stages for each height and body type.
(Table 2)
Parameter physique
8F Over 180cm tall, obese type
8T Height 180cm or more, thin type
6F Over 160cm tall, obese type
6T Height 160cm or more, thin type
4F Over 140cm tall, obese type
4T Height 140cm or more, thin type
2F Height 139cm or less, obese type
2T Height 139cm or less, skinny

  Furthermore, environmental information about the patient is also input to the input means 1. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the presence / absence of use of a car, the number of assistants, the wheelchair width limit, and the presence / absence of a step difference are parameterized and input.

The parameter P1C relating to the presence / absence of the use of a car is classified not only by the presence / absence, but also by the type of car used (size of luggage compartment, presence / absence of wheelchair equipment, etc.). For example, in the present embodiment, the distribution is quantitatively divided into the following three stages.
(Table 3)
Parameter Car use
X Available (Large)
Y present (small)
Without Z

Further, the assistance number parameter P1A ′ is classified according to the planned (applicable) number of assistances, and is quantitatively distributed into the following three stages, for example.
(Table 4)
Parameter Number of people
A 0 people
B 1 person
C 2 or more

Further, the parameter P1B relating to the width restriction is obtained by classifying wheelchairs applicable to the use environment according to the width, and is quantitatively distributed into the following three stages, for example.
(Table 5)
Parameter width limit
a 650mm or more
b 630mm or more
c 610mm or more

  More specifically, in FIG. 2, the patient A has both legs fixed with casts, for example, by fractures of both legs, transferred to the wheelchair from the bed in the ward, traveled in the hospital with the wheelchair, and returned to the car for a temporary return home. Transfers and wheelchairs are required to be stored in the car trunk room. Since the strength of the arm is not particularly weak, it can be controlled by a wheelchair. Therefore, as the patient information to be input, the physical ability P1A is rank B, the number of assistants is one (emphasis on behavior outside the hospital), the car use P1C is X rank, and the width limit P1B is rank b (car) It is input as follows. Moreover, when an electric wheelchair is desired beforehand, you may comprise so that it can input. In addition, when the use of stairs is a premise at home or the like, it may be possible to separately input parameters relating to step-over.

  As described above, the patient information and the environment information input to the input unit 1 are stored in the storage unit 2.

  On the other hand, care device information (wheelchair information) is stored in the storage unit 2 in advance. The items of wheelchair information in the present embodiment are wheelchair type, vehicle width, and car mountability. The parameter P2A related to the wheelchair type is paired with the physical ability parameter P1A of the patient information, and is divided into A, B, C,... As with the physical ability parameter P1A. For example, rank A is a wheelchair capable of wheelchair sports that are easier to move, rank B is a general wheelchair and a wheelchair with a large rear wheel (hand rim) that is easy to operate, and rank C is a general wheelchair. The wheelchair is equipped with a hand rim, but it is a small wheelchair or an electric wheelchair that is often pushed by an assistant rather than by self-operating. It is. In addition to these, a care device for a special purpose such as a wheelchair capable of moving up and down stairs may be provided with a separate item (for example, in association with input information such as parameters related to stepping).

The vehicle width item parameter P2B is paired with the width restriction parameter P1B of the environment information, and includes the following parameters a ′ to c ′ in the same manner as a to c of the width restriction parameter P1B.
(Table 6)
Parameter Car width
a '650mm
b '630mm
c '610mm

  In addition, the vehicle mounting aptitude parameter P2C is paired with the parameter P2 regarding whether or not the vehicle is used in the environmental information. Similarly to the above, the vehicle mounting compatibility parameter P2C corresponds to the vehicle non-compatible (Z type), the vehicle X type and the vehicle Y type It is divided.

  In this way, each parameter of patient information and environmental information and each parameter of care device information are stored in association with each other. Then, the extraction device 3 extracts care devices (wheelchairs) along with the input patient information and environment information. More specifically, since the physical ability parameter P1A is rank B in FIG. 2, a wheelchair with a wheelchair type parameter P2A of Bn type (n is an integer) is extracted. Further, since the width restriction parameter P1B is b rank, wheelchairs whose vehicle width parameter P2B is b rank are extracted. Further, since the vehicle use parameter P1C is the X rank, the wheelchair having the vehicle mountability parameter P2C of the X rank is extracted. Therefore, the wheelchair extracted from the parameters P1A to P1C input to the input means 1 has the wheelchair type parameter P2A of the Bn type, the vehicle width parameter P2B of b rank, and the vehicle mountability parameter P2C of X rank. A certain wheelchair B2 type will be extracted. It is also possible to extract a plurality of care devices (whether of the same type or different types) by the extraction means 3.

  The assistance number parameter P1A 'is used as a reference parameter when selecting the wheelchair type parameter P2A, and the physique parameter P1B' is used as a reference parameter when selecting the vehicle width parameter P2B. For example, if the assistance number parameter P1A ′ is C rank (0 people), for example, even if the physical ability parameter P1A is D rank and the D type (assistance wheelchair) is optimal, there is no assistance person, Since it cannot be said that the selection is optimal for the patient, a warning to that effect is displayed or a C-type that can be manipulated is extracted as the next point. For example, when the physique parameter P1B ′ is 8F (height 180 cm or more, obese type), even if the width restriction parameter P1A ′ is c rank and the wheel width of the wheelchair is c ′ (610 mm) rank is optimal. Adopting a cramped wheelchair for a patient with a large physique would be painful for the patient and would not be the best choice, so a warning or a one-rank wide b ' (630 mm) rank wheelchairs are extracted. In addition, the vehicle use parameter P1C is Y-type (small size) on the assumption that the vehicle is used, whereas the width restriction parameter P1B is a rank (650 mm or more) and is a wide wheelchair. If the vehicle cannot be mounted, priority is given to the width restriction, and the type A wheelchair having the vehicle width a ′ is extracted, and a warning is displayed that the vehicle cannot be used at present. At this time, a configuration may be possible in which a rental car that can be equipped with a wheelchair having a width of a 'can be rented to a rental car company via the Internet or the like, or a hire contract can be applied.

  On the other hand, the storage unit 2 stores a usage status parameter P2D. This is an item that shows the current usage, and if someone else has already used it (if there are multiple of the same type, all are already in use) The extraction means 3 makes extraction impossible or extracts the wheelchair and displays a warning that it is currently in use. When displaying such a warning, the storage unit 2 may also store the scheduled return date and display it together with the warning display. In addition, when an appropriate care device cannot be extracted, or when it is in use and the return schedule does not match, it may be possible to place an order with a care device manufacturer via the Internet or make a custom application possible. In addition, it is possible to provide more appropriate care devices to patients by sharing care device information and complementing each other at a plurality of hospitals or the like using this system.

  The result extracted by the extraction means 3 according to the above is output and displayed as the extraction result P4 by the result output means 4. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the wheelchair B2 type is output and displayed as the extraction result P4. When there are a plurality of extracted care devices, priority may be given according to the extraction status of the extraction means 3 and output display may be performed. In addition, when there are a plurality of the same kind of care devices that can be used, the output is displayed so that any one of them can be selected in consideration of the preference and circumstances of the patient.

  Thus, by comparing and collating patient information and care device information, it is possible to stably provide an appropriate care device in accordance with the patient's symptoms. Furthermore, since the use environment of the patient can be taken into consideration, more appropriate care equipment can be provided stably.

  Among wheelchairs, wheelchairs are inconvenient for users depending on the patient's symptoms (for example, whether they can operate or need a caregiver) and the surrounding environment (for example, passage width, size of the car on which the wheelchair is loaded). It is one of the nursing care devices that are likely to occur. Therefore, by applying the care device operation support system of the present invention to a wheelchair as described above, it is possible to select a wheelchair more suitable for the user, and to prevent inconvenience for the user.

  In this embodiment, a link is attached to the output result P4 output and displayed, and care device information (detailed information about the wheelchair B2 type) regarding the extraction result P4 is obtained by clicking the link with the mouse. indicate. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of detailed information display based on the extraction result. As shown in FIG. 3, a detailed information display column 11, an evaluation information display column 12, and an operation history information display column 13 are provided, and each information is displayed. In the detailed information display column 11, more detailed information of the wheelchair related to the extraction result P4 is displayed.

  In this embodiment, care device information is comprised so that the evaluation information about the case where the said care device is utilized may be displayed in the evaluation information display column 12 when examining the extraction result P4.

  In this case, the care device information includes evaluations from various viewpoints such as the expected efficacy when using the care device and quantitative expectation, convenience, cost performance, etc. Yes. Therefore, it can be used as a reference for determining whether or not the nursing care device output by the result output means 4 is actually used. In particular, it is more effective when a plurality of nursing care devices are output and one of them is selected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the storage means 2 stores past extraction results for each of the care devices as operation history information together with information input to the input means 1 at that time, and thereafter the same care device in the extraction means 3 Is extracted together with the extraction result P4, the operation history information can be output to the operation history information display column 13.

  In this case, every time a care device is extracted, the extraction result P4 of the care device and information (patient information or patient information and environmental information) input at this time are stored in the storage means as operation history information. Then, when the same care device is extracted by the extraction unit 3 after the next time, the result output unit 4 outputs the operation history information together with the care device information. As shown in FIG. 3, the period of use, the physical ability of the patient, the symptoms, the usage environment, and the like are displayed.

  In this way, since it is possible to know information such as a symptom, a physique, and the surrounding environment of a user who has previously used the care device output as a result, the care device output as a result based on the information is used. It is possible to make a final determination as to whether or not it is in a more realistic manner. In addition, care device managers such as hospitals using this system can easily consider supplementation of care devices, replacement of inventory, etc. by performing analysis such as taking statistics based on operation history information. it can.

  It is also possible to actively provide information on the disinfection method and storage state of care devices. Thereby, a patient can be provided with a sense of security, and more appropriate operation of the care device can be realized.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the patient information about the patient who is using the care device is updated while the care device is being provided, the extraction unit 3 is appropriate based on the changed patient information. The care device is configured to be extracted again. More specifically, when the patient has already received care equipment using this system, the input means may be changed depending on changes in symptoms (improvement / deterioration) or changes in environment (hospitalization / discharge). When a change occurs in the patient information and / or environment information input to 1, the extraction unit 3 performs re-extraction based on new patient information and the like by inputting again from the input unit 1. The patient information and environment information input last time stored in advance in the storage unit 2 may be read out, and only the changed part may be changed, or all items may be newly input.

  As described above, since it is possible to flexibly cope with changes in the patient's symptoms and the like, it is possible to provide appropriate care equipment to the user as needed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the input means 1 is configured such that a portable information terminal such as a mobile phone can also be adopted.

  In this case, the user can use the care device operation support system according to the present invention without going to a facility such as a hospital that actually manages the care device. Therefore, a procedure (reservation or the like) for using the care device can be performed in advance using the care device operation support system without going to a facility such as a hospital that manages the care device.

  In addition, the said embodiment does not limit this invention, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning.

  In the present embodiment, a wheelchair is described as an example of a care device, but other care devices such as walking aids such as crutches, assisting devices for eating and drinking, various rehabilitation devices, and the like are also applicable. It can also be configured as a system that simultaneously extracts multiple types.

  Depending on the care device, it is possible to input necessary information according to the care device such as the frequency and power voltage of the power source used, the degree of air conditioning, the weather forecast during use, etc. as the environmental information. The power supply voltage and the like are particularly effective when traveling abroad is assumed. Further, detailed map information of a place where a care device such as a wheelchair is used may be stored as environment information, and it may be simulated in advance whether the care device extracted based on the map information is applicable.

  Moreover, in the detailed information display of FIG. 3, it is good also as a structure which can display the notes about the extracted nursing care apparatus in order of priority. That is, precautions for each care device are stored for each item, predetermined parameters of patient information and environmental information are associated with each of the precautions, and the precautions based on the input patient information and environmental information. The order of priority is changed, and the items with the highest priority are displayed in order. Specifically, when providing nursing care equipment to patients who may enter the sauna, preferential display of precautions regarding humidity and temperature (use of sauna as environmental information and high temperature and high humidity as care equipment information) Link with the note below). Patients who have received temporary care devices tend to use them without fully knowing how to handle the care devices. Some care devices have a risk of adversely affecting the patient, such as malfunction if used incorrectly. That being said, it is terrible and practically difficult to make a patient who is primarily thinking about recovering from illness or injury know all about handling care devices. Therefore, the priority order of the precautions can be optimized for each patient by preferentially enumerating and displaying the matters that must be observed according to the use environment as described above, and can be operated more safely.

  In addition, as the care device information, an instruction manual for the care device may be stored for each item. While using the care device extracted by this system, there is a question about the handling of the care device. If this occurs, the system may be accessible via the Internet or the like so that the instruction manual stored in the storage unit 2 of the system can be referred to. Thereby, even if there is something that is not known while using the care device, the instruction manual can be referred to each time, which is very convenient. Specifically, it is effective when, for example, the user is using an electric wheelchair and wants to know whether a heavy object such as a battery can be removed when climbing stairs. In addition, for questions that could not be resolved by accessing this system, additional information on handling applicable to care equipment manufacturers, etc. can be obtained by separately sending the questions via e-mail, etc., and counting them with this system. You can encourage them to provide it. Therefore, care device manufacturers and system administrators (hospitals and the like) can obtain a wide range of patient requests, and the subsequent development and operation optimization of care devices can be performed more effectively.

  Moreover, it may be possible to input another care device information currently used as environmental information. In this case, for example, when providing a therapeutic device using electromagnetic waves to a patient using a pacemaker, the use of the pacemaker as patient information or environmental information and the use of electromagnetic waves as care equipment information are associated with each other. When the use of a pacemaker is input as input information, and there is electromagnetic wave use in the extracted care device information of the extracted care device, the treatment device is only for a part that is more than a predetermined distance away from the heart (pacemaker). It is possible to display warnings such as limited use.

  Further, depending on the care device, it may be configured such that various accessory devices can be extracted according to the input information. For example, when a notebook computer is input as environmental information, a table on which a notebook computer or the like can be placed on a wheelchair can be extracted as an accessory part of the wheelchair.
