Description

The present invention relates to a determination device.

Conventionally, in the medical field, temperature and humidity are controlled in order to prepare the environment in the hospital room. In particular, in incubators used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and the like, the temperature and humidity in each incubator are constantly monitored (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-2009-172383

By the way, the hospital room is usually equipped with lighting equipment and a large number of medical devices are arranged. Light is emitted from lighting equipment, and monitor sounds and alarm sounds are emitted from medical equipment. In addition, in the hospital room, interviews and conversations are exchanged by medical staff. It is difficult to exclude such irradiation light from lighting equipment, monitor sound, alarm sound reproduction, interview, etc. from the hospital room because they are necessary for performing treatment. However, from the standpoint of individual patients, there is an appropriate volume and amount of light for each patient. In particular, for low birth weight infants with immature physical functions, it is thought that preparing an environment close to the womb of the mother promotes growth. Therefore, consideration for the amount of light and volume is strongly required.

One aspect of the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a determination device capable of determining whether or not the amount of light and volume are appropriate.

In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention proposes the following means.

Beds may also be provided with coverings and fall-prevention fences, and the transmission of light and sound over the bed may vary from bed to bed. The determination device of one aspect of the present invention uses the measurement signal of the sensor provided on the bed for determination. That is, the determination device detects and uses the same amount of light and volume as those actually perceived by the user in the bed for determination. Therefore, the determination device can determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate.

(2) The determination device according to the above (1) further includes a storage unit that stores the determination criteria of the environment according to the user of the bed. Based on the above, it is determined whether or not the environment is appropriate.

Judge whether or not. Therefore, the amount of light and volume are appropriate according to individual users such as users who are sensitive or insensitive to the amount of light and volume, or users who require a special environment of amount and volume for treatment. It can be determined whether or not it is.

(3) In the determination device according to (1) or (2) above, the bed is a bed of a childcare container for accommodating a newborn baby, and the sensor is installed inside the housing of the childcare container. In this case, the determination device of one aspect of the present invention can make a determination based on the amount of light and the volume measured in the nursery container. Therefore, the determination device can determine whether or not the amount of light and volume equivalent to those actually perceived by the newborn baby housed in the nursery container are appropriate.

In this case, the determination device of one aspect of the present invention can display the result of determination by the determination unit. Therefore, the determination device can make the determination result of the determination unit recognized by the user or the like at a glance. Further, even when the user or the like takes other measures and cannot take his / her eyes off, the result of the determination by the determination unit can be recognized by sound. Further, the determination device can make the determination result recognized by the determination unit by turning on or blinking the light even when the user or the like is away from the determination device.

(5) In the determination device according to any one of (1) to (4) above, the amount of light indicated by the measurement signal is indicated by blocking the light emitted to the bed based on the determination result by the determination unit. A light amount adjusting unit for adjusting the light intensity is further provided. In this case, the determination device of one aspect of the present invention can adjust the inappropriate light amount to be appropriate by blocking the light when the light amount is not appropriate as a result of the determination by the determination unit.

(6) In the determination device according to any one of (1) to (5) above, the measurement signal is generated by noise canceling the sound transmitted to the bed based on the determination result by the determination unit.

(First Embodiment)
Hereinafter, the determination device 3 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a determination system 1 including a determination device 3. The determination system 1 includes, for example, a sensor unit 2, a determination device 3, an external input device 4, an incubator 5, and a medical device 6. In the example of FIG. 1, an example is shown in which the determination device 3 is a medical column (a stationary device that aggregates medical devices). The example of FIG. 1 shows an example in which the medical devices 6 are integrated and installed on the pillar portion of the installation of the determination device 3. The determination device 3 includes an acquisition unit 30 and a display unit 35.

The sensor unit 2 is installed inside the nursery container 51 of the incubator 5, measures the amount of light and the volume inside the nursery container 51, and outputs the measured light amount and the like as a measurement signal to the determination device 3. The sensor unit 2 may be placed on the upper surface of the bed of the childcare container 51, may be fixed to the inner side surface of the childcare container 51, or may be attached to a newborn baby housed in the childcare container 51. .. When the sensor unit 2 is fixed to the inner side surface of the childcare container 51 or the like, the sensor unit 2 may be provided with a fixture for fixing to the inner side surface or the like of the childcare container 51, or the sensor unit 2 may be attached to the childcare container 51. Fixtures for fixing may be provided.

The determination device 3 acquires the measurement signal from the sensor unit 2 by the acquisition unit 30 via the cable L. The determination device 3 determines whether or not the amount of light and the volume inside the nursery container 51 are appropriate based on the measurement signal from the sensor unit 2. Appropriate light intensity and volume means that, for example, the measured light intensity and volume do not exceed a predetermined allowable recommended value. In addition, the measured light intensity and volume are within a predetermined range including the permissible recommended value. Further, the determination device 3 changes or sets a threshold value used for determination according to an operation signal input from the external input device 4. As a result, the determination device 3 compares the measurement signal from the sensor unit 2 with the threshold value used for the determination, and determines whether or not the amount of light and the volume inside the nursery container 51 are appropriate. The determination device 3 causes the display unit 35 to display the determination result. In the determination device 3, the display unit 35 may be installed, for example, at a position or orientation in which the light emitted from the display unit 35 is difficult to be irradiated inside the nursery container 51.

The external input device 4 is, for example, an input device for the user to set a threshold value from the outside. The external input device 4 is, for example, an up key, a down key, a numeric keypad, or the like. By operating the external input device 4, the user inputs the threshold value and the numerical value used for the determination, the patient identification number, and the like into the determination device 3. Further, the external input device 4 may be a keyboard, a volume controller, a slide switch, or the like.

The incubator 5 includes, for example, an incubator container 51, an incubator internal environment control device 52, and casters 53. The nursery container 51 is, for example, a container for accommodating a newborn baby who is recognized as needing treatment. The incubator environment control device 52 controls the temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration, etc. in the space inside the incubator container 51. On the longitudinal side surface of the nursery container 51, a care window 510 is provided for a medical worker or the like to put his / her hand inside the nursery container 51 to perform treatment or the like. A cover 511 is hung on the nursery container 51. By covering the nursery container 51 with the cover 511, it is possible to block or dim the light of the illumination that illuminates the nursery container 51.

The medical device 6 is an instrument necessary for treatment, such as a treatment light 61 and a monitor 62. The treatment light 61 is a lighting device that brightly illuminates the affected area or the like when performing treatment. The monitor 62 is, for example, a monitoring device that displays biological information of a newborn baby housed in the nursery container 51 and notifies an abnormality. These medical devices 6 are devised so as not to irradiate the inside of the nursery container 51 with light and not to transmit unnecessary sounds, for example. For example, the treatment light 61 is provided with an arm portion 63 so as to accurately illuminate a portion necessary for treatment without brightening the entire room when performing treatment. Further, the monitor 62 is installed so that the light for displaying the contents of the monitor is not easily emitted to the inside of the nursery container 51. Further, the monitor 62 is installed at a position or orientation in which an alarm sound for notifying an abnormality is difficult to be transmitted to the inside of the nursery container 51.

Newborn babies born earlier than expected due to premature birth or other reasons do not have sufficient tolerance to external stimuli due to immature physical function. Therefore, it is necessary to grow in an environment close to the womb of the mother with reduced external stimuli. The NICU environment recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (hereinafter referred to as the recommended environment) has a light intensity range of 100 to 200 [lp] during the day (Neonatal Care 2016 vol.29 no.11 (1063)) and volume. It is also said that the upper limit is 45 [dB] (same (1057)). This is an environment similar to, for example, the amount of streetlights at night and the volume of a library. At the site of treatment, it is necessary to visually check the progress of the infusion and visually check the value of the drug, so lighting that can read the scale of the infusion and the value of the drug is required. .. In addition, in the field of treatment, it is a quiet state like a library because it asks questions and reads out the patient's name to prevent accidental administration of another patient's drug. It can be difficult to say. In other words, it is difficult to realize a recommended environment that is comparable to the amount of streetlights and the volume of the library during the above-mentioned period in the entire hospital room.

Further, the sensor sound from the medical device 6 placed around the incubator 5 and the conversation of the medical staff on the side of the incubator 5 are loud to some extent outside the incubator 51, but the incubator container It is unclear how it is transmitted inside 51. Further, the sound of opening and closing the care window 510 of the nursery container 51 may be transmitted to the inside of the nursery container 51 at a low volume on the outside of the nursery container 51. How loud the opening / closing sound of the maintenance window 510 is actually inside the nursery container 51 is unknown without actual measurement. The determination device 3 of the present embodiment can display whether or not the amount of light and the volume inside the nursery container 51 are appropriate in such a medical field and notify the medical staff. As a result, if the amount of light is not appropriate, the medical staff can reduce the amount of light emitted to the nursery container 51 by changing the direction of the lighting, changing the brightness of the lighting, or covering the cover 511. Can be done. Further, if the volume is not appropriate, the medical staff can reduce the noise inside the nursery container 51 by talking away from the incubator 5. As described above, by using the determination device 3 of the embodiment, it is possible to take measures at an early stage when the amount of light and the volume are not appropriate.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which the determination device 3 is used for a nursery container 51 whose circumference and upper part are surrounded by a transparent resin material or the like, but the present invention is not limited to this. The determination device 3 is used for a cot (a newborn bed in which the bed is surrounded but the upper part is not covered with synthetic resin or the like) used in a neonatal treatment recovery room (GCU, Growing Care Unit) or the like. It may be used for a pediatric bed or an adult bed. In the following description, these nursery containers 51, cots, pediatric beds, and adult beds are collectively referred to as beds.

The sensor unit 2 obtains environmental information regarding the environment including at least one of the amount of light and the volume on the bed. The environmental information may include only the amount of light, may include only the volume, or may include both the amount of light and the volume. The amount of light and volume on the bed are, for example, the amount of light and volume in the space on which the patient lies on the bed (hereinafter referred to as measurement space). The measurement space is, for example, a space surrounded by four planes parallel to a substantially vertical plane surrounding the upper surface of the bed and a ceiling surface. When the determination device 3 is used for the childcare container 51 whose upper part is covered as shown in FIG. 1, the ceiling surface is a surface arranged on the upper part of the childcare container 51. When the determination device 3 is used for a bed, the ceiling surface is the ceiling surface of the room in which the bed is placed. When a cover such as a canopy is arranged between the bed and the ceiling surface, the ceiling surface is the cover of the canopy or the like. In other words, the measurement space is a space surrounded by the upper surface of the bed, the surface parallel to the substantially vertical surface surrounding the bed, and the ceiling surface first arranged in the vertical direction from the upper surface of the bed. When there is no physical ceiling surface such as outdoors, for example, a plane parallel to the horizontal plane at the same height as the ceiling surface in the standard indoor where the determination device 3 is installed is used as the virtual ceiling surface. .. Further, the measurement space includes a space outside the measurement space when the space is expected to have the same amount of light or volume as the measurement space.

The sensor unit 2 may measure the amount of light and the volume at any place in the measurement space. For example, since the amount of light in the space around the position of the patient's eyes can be said to be close to the amount of light felt by the patient, the sensor unit 2 may measure the amount of light on the head side of the patient. Alternatively, when it is not possible to predict which position in the measurement space the patient's head side will be, the sensor unit 2 may measure the amount of light in the central portion of the measurement space. Similarly, regarding the volume, the sensor unit 2 may measure the volume on the head side of the patient, or may measure the volume at the center of the measurement space. The sensor unit 2 may measure the amount of light and the volume at the same place in the measurement space, or may measure the volume at a place different from the place where the amount of light is measured.
Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the sensor unit 2 outputs the measurement signal to the determination device 3 via the cable L, but the present invention is not limited to this. The sensor unit 2 may transmit a measurement signal by using a short-range wireless communication method such as infrared rays or Bluetooth (registered trademark). The cable L can be eliminated by the sensor unit 2 transmitting the measurement signal by wireless communication. Further, the sensor unit 2 may transmit a measurement signal to the determination device 3 via the network.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the sensor unit 2 and the determination device 3. The sensor unit 2 includes a light amount sensor 20 and a volume sensor 22. The determination device 3 includes an acquisition unit 30, an input unit 31, a storage unit 33, an audio output unit 34, a display unit 35, and a control unit 36 (an example of the determination unit). The audio output unit 34 and the display unit 35 are examples of output units. These components in the determination device 3 are communicably connected to each other via the bus B.

The light amount sensor 20 measures the light amount. The light amount sensor 20 has, for example, a light receiving unit that acquires light rays emitted from the sun, a lighting fixture, or the like, and measures the light amount by outputting a signal corresponding to the amount of light received by the light receiving unit. In the present embodiment, the light amount sensor 20 measures the amount of visible light as light that the human body reacts to (for example, promotes awakening), but is not limited thereto. The amount of light measured by the light amount sensor 20 may be the amount of ultraviolet rays, the amount of infrared rays, or the amount of light rays in other bands. The light amount sensor 20 may measure the amount of light in a band including visible light and wider than visible light, up to ultraviolet rays or infrared rays. The light amount sensor 20 outputs a measurement signal indicating the measured light amount to the determination device 3.

The volume sensor 22 measures the volume. The volume sensor 22 has, for example, a microphone unit that acquires sensor sounds, alarm sounds, speech voices of medical personnel, etc. output from a medical device, and outputs a signal corresponding to the amount of sound input to the microphone unit. By measuring the volume. The volume sensor 22 is, for example, a sound level meter. The volume sensor 22 measures the signal amount in the audible band (for example, a band from 20 [Hz (hertz)] to about 20 [kHz]), but is not limited to this, and is one of the audible bands. The band may be measured, or the signal amount in a band including the audible band and wider than the audible band may be measured. The volume sensor 22 outputs a measurement signal indicating the measured volume to the determination device 3.

The acquisition unit 30 acquires the measurement signal from the sensor unit 2. The measurement signal from the sensor unit 2 may be an analog signal representing the amount of light, or may be a digital signal obtained by digitally converting the analog signal. When the measurement signal from the sensor unit 2 is an analog signal, the acquisition unit 30 holds the analog signal at a predetermined sampling rate and converts the held analog signal amount into a digital value. The acquisition unit 30 outputs a digital signal based on the measurement signal from the sensor unit 2 to the control unit 36.

The input unit 31 outputs an operation signal input from the outside to the control unit 36. The operation signal includes a signal for identifying a patient, a signal for representing a light intensity threshold, and a signal for representing a volume threshold. In the following description, a case where the operation signal includes a signal representing the threshold value of the amount of light will be described. The case where the operation signal includes a signal indicating the volume threshold value is the same as the case where the signal indicating the amount of light is included, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

The operation signal is, for example, a signal indicating which threshold level is to be set among the threshold levels divided into a plurality of stages. Specifically, the input unit 31 acquires an operation signal based on the content input by the user to the external input device 4 (for example, the up key and the down key). For example, when the up key is pressed once, the input unit 31 acquires an operation signal indicating that the light intensity threshold level is raised by one level. Further, when the down key is pressed once, the input unit 31 acquires an operation signal indicating that the light amount threshold level is lowered by one level. The input unit 31 outputs the acquired operation signal to the control unit 36.

The storage unit 33 is realized by, for example, an HDD (Hard Disc Drive), a flash memory, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), or the like. The storage unit 33 stores a program to be executed by the control unit 36.
The storage unit 33 stores the determination criteria of the environment according to the user of the bed. Specifically, the storage unit 33 stores the threshold level database 330, the light amount level corresponding database 331, and the volume level corresponding database 332 as variables used in the determination process performed by the determination device 3. The threshold level database 330 stores the respective threshold levels of the light amount and the volume when the determination device 3 determines whether or not the light amount and the volume are appropriate. The light amount level correspondence database 331 stores the light amount level and the light amount threshold value corresponding to the light amount level. The volume level correspondence database 332 stores the volume level and the volume threshold value corresponding to the volume level.

The storage unit 33 stores biological information such as the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. For example, a medical worker measures a patient's heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, etc. using a heart rate monitor, a sphygmomanometer, a thermometer, or the like. Then, the medical worker inputs the biological information to the external input device 4. The external input device 4 outputs the biological information input by the medical worker to the determination device 3. Then, the determination device 3 stores the biological information from the external input device 4 in the storage unit 33 via the control unit 36. Alternatively, a biological information sensor such as a heart rate monitor attached to the patient outputs biological information such as the measured heart rate to the acquisition unit 30. Then, the acquisition unit 30 outputs the biological information from the biological information sensor to the control unit 36, and the control unit 36 stores the biological information in the storage unit 33.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a data structure of the storage unit 33 used in the determination device 3 of the first embodiment. FIG. 3A shows the data structure of the threshold level database 330. FIG. 3B shows the data structure of the light intensity level corresponding database 331. FIG. 3C shows the data structure of the volume level corresponding database 332.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the threshold level database 330 stores the patient ID, the light intensity level information, and the volume level information. The patient ID is information that identifies the patient (for example, a patient identification number). The light intensity level information is information indicating which of the plurality of light intensity levels is used. The volume level information is information indicating which level is among a plurality of volume levels. In the example of FIG. 3A, "2" is stored in the light intensity level information and "3" is stored in the volume level information.
The patient ID is included in the threshold level database 330, and the light amount level information and the volume level information are stored in association with the patient ID, so that the light amount level and the volume level corresponding to each patient can be stored. .. As a result, the determination device 3 can determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate. The patient ID may be information that identifies the bed (for example, bed ID), or may be information that identifies a user who is not a patient but uses the bed (for example, user ID). In this way, the light amount level information, the volume level information, and the like are stored in association with each other as the patient ID and the qi judgment standard according to the environment (light amount or volume) preferable for the patient indicated by the patient ID. It is possible to output the result of determining that the environment is suitable for the user (patient).

The light amount level correspondence database 331 stores the light amount level information and the threshold value information. The light amount level information is information corresponding to the light amount level information of the threshold level database 330. The threshold information is information indicating the upper limit of the allowable amount of light.
In the example of FIG. 3B, the upper limit of the amount of light that does not interfere with sleep is stored in the amount of light level 1. Specifically, 30 [lp] is stored in the threshold information. In addition, the light intensity level 2 stores the recommended light intensity range during the daytime. Specifically, 200 [lp] are stored in the threshold information.
By storing the light amount level and the threshold value in association with each other in the light amount level corresponding database 331, the determination device 3 refers to the light amount level corresponding database 331 and uses the threshold value according to the set level to use the light amount sensor 20. It is possible to determine whether or not the amount of light detected by is appropriate.
The threshold value may be set for each time zone (for example, it may be set separately for nighttime and daytime). For example, the daytime threshold corresponding to the light intensity level 2 may be set to 200 [lpx], and the nighttime threshold may be set to 30 [lpx]. In this case, the determination device 3 refers to the light amount level corresponding database 331 according to the time information indicated by the timer (not shown) provided inside, and uses the threshold value according to the set level. Further, the threshold value may indicate the absolute value of the amount of light or the volume at that moment, or may indicate the relative amount of change. When the threshold value indicates the amount of change, for example, the determination device 3 determines that the amount of light is not appropriate when it suddenly becomes bright even if the amount of light is small.
Further, the threshold value may be a threshold value indicating a lower limit of an allowable amount of light or volume. In this case, the determination device 3 determines that the light intensity is not appropriate when the light intensity measurement value is below the lower limit threshold value. Further, the determination device 3 uses both the upper limit threshold value and the lower limit threshold value to determine that the light amount is appropriate when the light amount measurement value falls within the range from the lower limit threshold value to the upper limit threshold value. It may be. An environment with no light or volume does not always have a positive effect on brain development. The newborn's condition may be stabilized by listening to the parent's conversation and lullabies. In such a case, it may be determined that it is appropriate when it does not fall below the lower limit threshold value or when the measured value falls between the lower limit threshold value and the upper limit threshold value.
Further, the threshold value may be set for each range such as the frequency measured by the sensor 2. For example, the light amount sensor 20 measures the amount of light for each frequency range indicated by ultraviolet rays, visible light, and infrared rays, and the light amount level correspondence database 331 has the ultraviolet amount threshold, the visible light amount threshold, and the infrared amount threshold, respectively. Set. In this case, the determination device 3 refers to the light amount level corresponding database 331 according to the type of light rays (ultraviolet rays, visible rays, or infrared rays) measured by the light amount sensor 20, and corresponds to the type. Use a threshold.

Volume level information and threshold information are stored in the volume level correspondence database 332. The volume level information is information corresponding to the volume level information of the threshold level database 330. The threshold information is information indicating the upper limit threshold of the volume.
In the example of FIG. 3C, the upper limit value of the volume which is preferable for sleep is stored in the volume level 1. Specifically, 35 [dB] is stored in the threshold information. Further, in the volume level 2, for example, the upper limit value of the volume recommended in the NICU is stored. Specifically, 45 [dB] is stored in the threshold information. In the volume level 3, for example, an upper limit value of an unfavorable volume as a volume measured for a long time is stored. Specifically, 65 [dB] is stored in the threshold information.
The threshold value may be set for each range such as the frequency measured by the sensor 2. For example, the volume sensor 20 is below the audible band (for example, less than 20 [Hz]), the audible band (for example, 20 [Hz] or more and less than 20 [kHz]), and the audible band or more (for example, 20 [kHz] or more). The volume is measured for each frequency range indicated by each of), and each of the sub-audible band threshold, the audible band threshold, and the audible band or higher threshold is set in the volume level corresponding database 332. In this case, the determination device 3 refers to the volume level corresponding database 332 according to, for example, the type of sound measured by the volume sensor 22 (type of less than audible band, audible band, or audible band or more). Use the threshold value according to the type.
By storing the volume level and the volume threshold value in association with each other in the light amount level corresponding database 331, the determination device 3 refers to the volume level compatible database 332 and uses the threshold value according to the set level to obtain the volume. It is possible to determine whether or not the volume detected by the sensor 22 is appropriate.

Returning to FIG. 2, the voice output unit 34 uses sound to output the determination result determined by the control unit 36 as voice, an alarm sound, or the like.
When the sound output unit 34 is installed in the housing of the determination device 3 to output sound on the side of the incubator 5, the sound from the sound output unit 34 is not transmitted as noise into the nursery container 51. For example, it is preferable that the sound output direction is different from the direction of the nursery container 51, or the nursery container 51 is covered with the cover 511. Further, the audio output unit 34 may output a lullaby or the like. It is conceivable that the condition may be stabilized by letting the newborn baby hear the lullaby. Further, the audio output unit 34 has a volume adjusting unit for adjusting the volume of the output sound. The volume control unit includes, for example, a volume control knob and a mute button, and the user can increase or decrease the volume of the sound from the voice output unit 34 or mute the sound. As a result, even in a situation where the sound from the voice output unit 34 may be transmitted into the nursery container 51, the volume in the nursery container 51 can be prevented from increasing.

The display unit 35 displays a determination result in which the determination device 3 determines whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate. For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the display unit 35 displays a determination result for the volume on the upper side of the display area, a pictogram (a figure of a speaker), and a volume value (a numerical value and characters of “65 dB”). In addition, the display unit 35 displays a determination result for the amount of light on the lower side of the display area, a pictogram (figure of the sun), and a light amount value (numerical value and characters of "100 lp"). The display unit 35 may display the determination result in color. For example, the display unit 35 displays in red, which indicates a warning when the amount of light or the volume exceeds the threshold value set for each. Further, the display unit 35 displays in yellow to call attention when the amount of light or the volume is within a predetermined range from the threshold values set for each (for example, within 5 [dB] if the volume is). To do. In addition, the display unit 35 displays in green indicating peace of mind when the amount of light or the volume falls below a predetermined range from the threshold values set for each. Further, the display unit 35 may not only light the pictogram or the like but also blink it for display. In this way, the display unit 35 displays the determination result using at least one or more of numerical values, characters, figures, and colors. It should be noted that the determination result includes at least the determination result for determining whether or not it is appropriate, and may further include the measured values of the amount of light and the volume.

An output unit may be provided in addition to the audio output unit 34 and the display unit 35 described above. Specifically, the output unit may be, for example, a light, a printer, or the like. For example, a plurality of LED lamps having different colors may be provided, and the determination result may be output by lighting or blinking the LED lamps for each color, or the determination result may be printed.
The output unit may be a stationary device or a portable terminal device carried by a medical worker. When the output device is a terminal device, the determination result is displayed on the display screen of the terminal device, and an alarm sound or vibration corresponding to the determination result is output.

The control unit 36 controls the acquisition unit 30, the input unit 31, the storage unit 33, the audio output unit 34, and the display unit 35. The control unit 36 is, for example, a microcontroller equipped with a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and is realized by executing a program stored in a program memory. In addition, some or all of the functions executed by these programs may be realized by an analog control circuit or hardware such as FPGA (Field Scale Integration).

The control unit 36 determines whether or not the environment is appropriate based on the measurement signal acquired by the acquisition unit 30. Specifically, the control unit 36 determines whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate based on the measurement signal from the acquisition unit 30. In the following description, a process of determining whether or not the control unit 36 is appropriate for the amount of light will be described. The process of determining whether or not the control unit 36 is appropriate for the volume is the same as the process of determining the amount of light, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

The control unit 36 stores the operation signal from the input unit 31 in the storage unit 33. The control unit 36 stores the information for identifying the patient and the information indicating the light intensity level and the volume level among the operation signals in the threshold level database 330, respectively. Specifically, the information for identifying the patient is stored in the patient ID, the light amount level is stored in the light amount level information, and the volume level is stored in the volume level information.

The control unit 36 acquires a threshold value corresponding to the light intensity level set for each patient. Specifically, the control unit 36 refers to the threshold level database 330 and acquires the light intensity level information. Then, the control unit 36 refers to the light amount level correspondence database 331 and acquires the threshold value corresponding to the acquired light amount level information. More specifically, in the example of FIG. 3, the control unit 36 acquires the light amount level of the threshold level database 330, and the threshold value “200 [lp]] of the light amount level corresponding database 331 corresponding to the acquired light amount level “2”. To get.
The control unit 36 acquires, for example, light intensity level information on a regular basis or for each determination. Alternatively, the control unit 36 may acquire the updated light amount level information when the light amount level information is updated. The process of updating the light intensity level information by the control unit 36 will be described in detail later.

The control unit 36 determines whether or not the amount of light is appropriate based on the threshold value acquired from the storage unit 33 and the measured light amount value (hereinafter referred to as the light amount measurement value) included in the measurement signal from the acquisition unit 30. To judge. Specifically, the control unit 36 compares the threshold value with the light quantity measurement value, and if the light quantity measurement value exceeds the threshold value, determines that the light quantity is not appropriate.

Here, the control unit 36 may determine whether or not it is appropriate, or may determine the degree of appropriateness in a plurality of stages. The case where the degree of appropriateness is determined in a plurality of stages is, for example, a case where the degree of appropriateness is determined in three stages of not appropriate in the alarm stage, inappropriate in the caution stage, and appropriate. Specifically, the control unit 36 compares the threshold value with the light quantity measurement value, and if the light quantity measurement value exceeds the threshold value (200 lux), determines that the light quantity is not appropriate at the alarm stage. Further, the control unit 36 pays attention to the amount of light when the measured value of the amount of light is between the threshold value (200 lux) and the amount of light (170 lux) which is less than the threshold value by a predetermined value (for example, 30 lux). Judged as inappropriate at the stage. Further, the control unit 36 determines that the amount of light is appropriate when the measured value of the amount of light is less than the value obtained by subtracting a predetermined value from the threshold value (170 lux).

Further, the control unit 36 outputs the determined determination result to output units such as the voice output unit 34 and the display unit 35. The determination result may include information indicating whether or not the amount of light is appropriate, information indicating the degree of whether or not the amount of light is appropriate (for example, a warning stage or a caution stage), and information indicating a measured value of the amount of light.

Here, the control unit 36 may output the determined determination result to a remote output unit via a transmission unit (not shown). The transmission unit transmits the determination result to the output unit via, for example, a wired, wireless, or network. The output unit is arranged, for example, in a nurse station away from the hospital room where the incubator 5 is arranged, and outputs according to the determination result.

Further, the control unit 36 updates the threshold level database 330 based on the operation signal from the input unit 31. The operation signal includes identification information indicating which threshold level of light amount and volume is, and threshold level information indicating the threshold level. Specifically, when the operation signal includes information to set the threshold level of the light amount to "1", the control unit 36 writes "1" to the light amount level information of the threshold level database 330. Remember. Further, when the operation signal includes information for setting the volume threshold level to "2", the control unit 36 writes "2" in the volume level information of the threshold level database 330 and stores it.

Here, the flow of the determination process performed by the determination device 3 will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the determination process performed by the determination device 3.
First, as a premise, it is assumed that the determination device 3 stores the respective threshold levels of the light amount and the volume based on the operation signal input from the external input device 4. Then, it is assumed that the determination device 3 refers to the storage unit 33 and acquires the respective threshold values of the light amount and the volume corresponding to the threshold value. In other words, it is assumed that the determination device 3 has acquired the respective threshold values of the amount of light and the volume in advance.
The determination device 3 acquires the measurement signal from the sensor unit 2 (step S1). The determination device 3 compares the measured value of the light intensity of the measurement signal with the threshold value of the light intensity level, and determines whether or not the light intensity level exceeds the threshold value (step S2). When the light amount level exceeds the threshold value (step S2, YES), the determination device 3 determines that the light amount is not appropriate (step S3). On the other hand, when the light amount level does not exceed the threshold value (step S2, NO), the determination device 3 determines that the light amount is appropriate (step S4).
Further, the determination device 3 compares the volume measurement value of the measurement signal with the threshold value of the volume level, and determines whether or not the volume level exceeds the threshold value (step S5). When the volume level exceeds the threshold value (step S5, YES), the determination device 3 determines that the volume is not appropriate (step S6). On the other hand, when the volume level does not exceed the threshold value (step S5, NO), the determination device 3 determines that the volume is appropriate (step S7). Then, the determination process shown in this flowchart ends. In this flowchart, the volume is determined after the light amount determination process is performed. However, the light amount determination process may be performed after the volume determination process.

As described above, in the determination device 3 of the first embodiment, from the sensor unit 2 (an example of the “sensor”) that obtains environmental information regarding the environment including at least one of the amount of light and the volume on the bed. The acquisition unit 30 (an example of the "acquisition unit") that acquires the measurement signal of the above, and the control unit 36 (the "determination unit") that determines whether or not the environment is appropriate based on the measurement signal acquired by the acquisition unit 30. (Example)) and. As a result, in the determination device 3 of the first embodiment, even if the sickroom and the individual beds arranged in the sickroom are in different environments such as the amount of light and the volume, the bed is measured by the sensor unit 2. It is possible to determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate based on the amount of light and the volume of the bed, and to determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume actually perceived by the user of the bed are appropriate. Can be done.

Further, in the determination device 3, the storage for storing the threshold information corresponding to the light amount level information corresponding to the newborn baby (an example of the “bed user”) and the threshold information corresponding to the volume level information (an example of the “judgment criterion”). A unit 33 (an example of a "storage unit") is provided, and a control unit 36 (an example of a "determination unit") determines that the amount of light is not appropriate when the amount of light indicated by the measurement signal exceeds the light amount threshold value, and the measurement signal is used. When the indicated volume exceeds the volume threshold value, it is determined that the volume is not appropriate (an example of "determining whether or not the environment is appropriate based on the measurement signal"). As a result, in the determination device 3 of the first embodiment, it can be determined that the light amount is not appropriate by comparing the light amount threshold value stored in advance with the measured light amount. Further, it can be determined that the volume is not appropriate by comparing the volume threshold value stored in advance with the measured volume. As a result, the determination device 3 can easily determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate.

Further, in the determination device 3, the bed may be the bed of the nursery container 51 (an example of the “nursery container”) for accommodating the newborn baby, and the sensor unit 2 (an example of the “sensor”) may be the bed of the nursery container 51. It may be installed inside the housing. As a result, in the determination device 3 of the first embodiment, it is determined whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate based on the amount of light and the volume inside the nursery container 51 measured by the sensor unit 2. It is possible to determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume actually perceived by the newborn baby actually housed in the nursery container 51 are appropriate.

It is possible to inform at a glance whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate to the user or the medical staff in the vicinity. Further, even when the bed user or a medical worker in the vicinity cannot see the display of the determination device 3 during other treatments, the amount of light and the volume are appropriate depending on the sound or light. You can tell if it is.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram showing the configuration of the determination device 3A according to the second embodiment. In the following description, the same components as those of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.
In the determination device 3A of the second embodiment, the storage unit 33A stores the determination criteria of the environment according to the user of the bed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in the determination device 3A of the second embodiment, the patient status database 335 and the status response database 336 are stored in the storage unit 33A.

In the determination device 3A of the second embodiment, the threshold value is set according to the user of the bed. The bed user is, for example, a newborn baby using the incubator 5. The setting of the threshold value according to the user of the bed means that the threshold value is set based on, for example, the age of the newborn baby. For example, it is said that the organs that perceive the light of the eyeball are not fully functioning in newborn babies who are less than 28 weeks old (Neonatal Care 2016 vol.29 no.11 (1060)). Since such newborns are less responsive to light stimuli than older newborns, it is preferable to have a darker state that is closer to the environment in the mother's body. In addition, the underdeveloped eyeball may be illuminated by light, which may affect the development of organs. Therefore, a darker state is preferable, and it is necessary to limit the amount of light that illuminates the inside of the nursery container 51 so as to maintain a particularly dark state as compared with a newborn baby having a week age of 28 weeks or more. In the determination device 3A of the second embodiment, the threshold value can be set based on the age of the patient (newborn), and it can be determined whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate according to the age of the week. .. However, the setting of the threshold value is not limited to the one based on the age of the week. For example, since there are individual differences in the response to light, the threshold value may be set according to the developmental status of the eyes and ears and the progress of treatment. In this way, in the determination device 3A, the threshold value according to the user on the bed is set.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a data structure of the storage unit 33A used in the determination device 3A of the second embodiment. FIG. 6A shows the data structure of the patient status database 335. FIG. 6B shows the data structure of the context-sensitive database 336.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the patient status database 335 stores the patient ID and the week-age information. The patient ID is information that identifies the patient (for example, a patient identification number). The week-age information is information indicating the age of the patient (newborn). In the example of FIG. 6A, an example in which "30" is stored in the week-age information is shown. The patient ID may be information that identifies the bed (for example, bed ID), or may be information that identifies a user who is not a patient but uses the bed (for example, user ID). The weekly age information may be information (weight information) indicating the weight of the newborn baby. Some healthcare professionals may try to understand the developmental status by considering the weight as well as the number of weeks of the newborn. Also, the number of weeks may be the modified number of weeks used for prematurely born newborns. This is because the developmental status can be grasped more correctly by using the modified number of weeks based on the expected date of birth than the number of weeks after birth based on the date of birth.
The patient ID is included in the patient status database 335, and the week age information is stored in association with the patient ID, so that the week age of each patient can be stored. As a result, the determination device 3A can determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate according to the age of the patient.

As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the week-age information and the threshold information are stored in the situation-based database 336. The week-age information is information corresponding to the week-age information in the patient status database 335. The threshold value is information indicating the upper limit of the allowable amount of light. In the example of FIG. 6B, for newborn babies aged 0 to 28 weeks, the upper limit of the amount of light for making the baby closer to the environment in the mother's body is set as the light amount threshold. Specifically, 20 [lp] is stored in the threshold value of the amount of light. In addition, for newborn babies aged 28 to 34 weeks, an upper limit of the amount of light that does not give light stimulation is set. Specifically, 30 [lp] is stored in the threshold value of the amount of light. In the example shown in FIG. 6B, the situation correspondence database 336 stores the threshold value for the amount of light, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the threshold value for the volume may be stored, and the amount of light and the volume may be stored. The threshold value corresponding to each may be stored.
The threshold value may be set for each time zone (for example, it may be set separately for nighttime and daytime). For example, the nighttime threshold corresponding to 28-34 weeks of age may be 30 [lpx] and the daytime threshold may be 200 [lpx]. In this case, the determination device 3A refers to the situation correspondence database 336 according to the time information indicated by the timer (not shown) provided inside, and uses the threshold value according to the setting level. Further, the threshold value may indicate the absolute value of the amount of light or the volume at that moment, or may indicate the relative amount of change. When the threshold value indicates the amount of change, for example, the determination device 3A determines that the amount of light is not appropriate when it suddenly becomes bright even if the amount of light is small.
Further, the threshold value may be a threshold value indicating a lower limit of an allowable amount of light or volume. In this case, the determination device 3A determines that the light intensity is not appropriate when the light intensity measurement value is below the lower limit threshold value. Further, the determination device 3A uses both the upper limit threshold value and the lower limit threshold value to determine that the light amount is appropriate when the light amount measurement value falls within the range from the lower limit threshold value to the upper limit threshold value. It may be. An environment with no light or volume does not always have a positive effect on brain development. For example, it is said that a newborn baby weighing about 600 grams is better for growth when it is pitch black and there is not much sound, but a newborn baby weighing about 2600 grams needs a distinction between daytime and nighttime and some sound for growth. There is. In such a case, depending on the weight of the newborn baby, it may be determined that it is appropriate when it does not fall below the lower limit threshold value or when the measured value falls between the lower limit threshold value and the upper limit threshold value.

The input unit 31 outputs an operation signal input from the outside to the control unit 36. The operation signal includes a signal for identifying the patient and a signal for representing the age of the patient.

The control unit 36 stores the operation signal from the input unit 31 in the storage unit 33. The control unit 36 stores the information for identifying the patient and the information indicating the age of the patient among the operation signals in the patient status database 335, respectively. Specifically, the information for identifying the patient is stored in the patient ID, and the week age of the patient is stored in the week age information.

The control unit 36 acquires the threshold value corresponding to the age of each patient stored in the storage unit 33A. Specifically, the control unit 36 refers to the patient status database 335 and acquires week-age information. Then, the control unit 36 refers to the situation correspondence database 336 and acquires the threshold value corresponding to the acquired week-age information. More specifically, in the example of FIG. 6, the control unit 36 acquires the week-age information of the patient status database 335, and the week-age “28 to 34” of the situation-responsive database 336 including the acquired week-age “30” is included. The threshold "30 [lp]" corresponding to "" is acquired.

As described above, in the determination device 3A of the second embodiment, the threshold information corresponding to the light amount level information set according to the age of the newborn and the threshold information corresponding to the volume level information (“bed user”). The control unit 36 (an example of the "judgment unit") includes a storage unit 33 (an example of the "storage unit") that stores (an example of an environment determination standard according to the above), and the light amount indicated by the measurement signal sets the light amount threshold value. If it exceeds, it is determined that the amount of light is not appropriate, and if the volume indicated by the measurement signal exceeds the volume threshold value, it is determined that the volume is not appropriate (“The environment is appropriate based on the measurement signal and the determination criteria”. An example of "determining whether or not"). As a result, in the determination device 3A of the second embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained, and the determination can be made using the threshold value set according to the situation of the user of the bed. As a result, the determination device 3A can determine whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate according to the user of the bed.

Further, the drive unit 55 winds up the cover 511B by rotating the roll in the opposite direction so that the childcare container 51 is illuminated by light such as lighting.
For example, the noise canceling unit 56 inputs the noise inside the nursery container 51 and outputs a sound having a phase opposite to the noise to make the noise hard to hear.

The control unit 36 outputs each determination result of whether or not the amount of light and the volume are appropriate to the adjustment unit 38. The light amount adjusting unit 380 outputs a light amount adjusting signal for adjusting the light amount when the control unit 36 determines that the light amount is not appropriate based on the determination result from the control unit 36. The light amount adjusting signal includes a signal indicating a direction for driving the drive unit 55. The volume adjustment unit 381 outputs a volume adjustment signal for adjusting the volume when the control unit 36 determines that the volume is not appropriate based on the determination result from the control unit 36. The volume adjustment signal includes a signal indicating that the noise canceling unit 56 starts the operation.

As described above, in the determination device 3B of the third embodiment, the light emitted to the nursery container 51 (an example of the bed) is blocked based on the determination result by the control unit 36 (an example of the determination unit).

In this case, the hospital room is equipped with a light controller that adjusts the amount of light of the illumination. Then, when the control unit 36 determines that the light amount is not appropriate based on the determination result from the control unit 36, the light amount adjusting unit 380 outputs a control signal for adjusting the light amount of the lighting of the hospital room to the light controller.
