Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing system, and an information processing program.

In Japan, life expectancy has increased remarkably due to improvements in living standards, sanitary environments, and medical standards that have accompanied the post-war period of rapid economic growth. For this reason, coupled with the declining birth rate, Japan is becoming an aging society with a high rate of aging. In such an aging society, it is expected that there will be an increase in the number of people requiring nursing care and nursing care (hereinafter referred to as "persons subject to care") who require care or nursing due to illness, injury, aging, or the like. 2. Description of the Related Art In facilities such as hospitals and welfare facilities for the elderly (hereinafter simply referred to as "facility"), caregivers, nurses, and the like provide care and other support to care recipients.

On the other hand, as the number of people to be cared for increases, the burden on caregivers, nurses, and the like is increasing, and technological development is underway to reduce the burden. For example, Patent Literature 1 below discloses a technique in which a computer presents a user with a plurality of first support contents corresponding to a person requiring care or support, and assessment items associated with each of the first support contents, and then presents the second support contents from among the first support contents to the user based on the assessment results input by the user.

In addition, as the demand for nursing care services expands due to the aging of the population, in order to maintain the quality of nursing care services, there is a need for nursing care that is scientifically proven to support the independence of care recipients and prevent the severity of their illness (scientific nursing care). In order to realize scientific nursing care, it is necessary to accumulate grounds and information (evidence) based on objective facts, analyze the evidence, and present the grounds for nursing care services provided to care recipients. As a scientific care information system for collecting and accumulating evidence, for example, LIFE (Long term care Information For Evidence) has been put into operation. LIFE is a system in which each facility inputs data to the official website of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (https://life.mhlw.go.jp/login) regarding predetermined input items related to the content and plan of care for the person to be cared for, the condition of the person to be cared for, etc., and feeds back to each facility the analysis results of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's analysis of the data entered by each facility.

JP 2020-177627 A

Among the LIFE input items, there are input items for which an assessment cannot be input unless the care staff grasps the behavior of the person being cared for in the living room one by one. However, in reality, it is difficult for the care staff to constantly monitor the behavior of the care recipient either directly in the care recipient's living room or indirectly using a monitor or the like from another room. Therefore, the care staff may not be able to grasp the behavior of the person being cared for one by one, and may be forced to enter an assessment of the input items based on guesses. In this way, when an assessment is entered for input items based on the care staff's guess, there is a risk that the care plan for the person being cared for will be unfounded.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an information processing device, an information processing system, and an information processing program that enable a care staff to input an assessment of LIFE input items without relying on guesswork, even if the care staff cannot grasp every action of the person being cared for.

The above problems of the present invention are solved by the following means.

(1) An information processing device configured to be able to execute an awareness input application that accepts an input of an assessment by a care staff who cares for a care recipient regarding an input item of a scientific care information system, the information processing device comprising an assessment generation unit that generates an assessment of the input item based on the detection result of a sensor that detects the presence and/or behavior of a person in the living room of the care recipient, and an assessment input unit that inputs the assessment generated by the assessment generation unit into the awareness input application.

(2) The information processing apparatus according to (1) above, further including a correction receiving unit that receives corrections to the assessment input to the awareness input application.

(3) The information processing apparatus according to (1) or (2) above, further including a display unit that displays a correction history of the assessment input to the awareness input application.

(4) The information processing apparatus according to any one of (1) to (3) above, wherein the sensor detects the care recipient's sitting position, standing up, or going out of the living room, and the assessment generation unit generates an assessment for the input item of the care recipient's sitting position, standing up, or stay outside the living room.

(5) The information processing device according to any one of (1) to (3) above, wherein the sensor detects a visitor in the living room of the care subject, and the assessment generation unit generates an assessment of the input items for visiting the living room of the care subject.

(6) An information processing system comprising a sensor that detects the presence and/or behavior of a person in the living room of the care recipient, and the information processing device according to any one of (1) to (5) above.

(7) In an information processing device configured to be able to execute an awareness input application that accepts input of assessments by care staff who are caring for a care recipient with respect to input items of a scientific care information system, an information processing program for causing a computer to execute processing including a step (a) of generating an assessment of the input items from the detection result of a sensor that detects the presence and/or behavior of a person in the living room of the care recipient, and a step (b) of inputting the assessment generated in step (a) into the awareness input application. .

(8) The information processing program according to (7) above, further comprising a step (c) of accepting a correction to the assessment input to the awareness input application.

(9) The information processing program according to (7) or (8) above, further comprising step (d) of displaying a revision history of the assessment input to the awareness input application.

According to the present invention, an assessment of LIFE input items is generated from the detection results of the sensor that detects the presence and/or behavior of a person in the living room of the care recipient, and is input to the awareness input application. Therefore, even if the care staff cannot grasp the behavior of the person to be cared for, the care staff can input the assessment without relying on guesses for the input items. In addition, since it is possible to reduce the time and effort of the care staff to input the assessment for the input items, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the work.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. Also, the dimensional ratios in the drawings are exaggerated for convenience of explanation, and may differ from the actual ratios.

<Information processing system 1>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the overall configuration of an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating detection units installed around a bed in a living room of a care recipient.

As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a plurality of detection units 10, a management server 20, an information manager terminal 30, and one or more care staff terminals 40. FIG. These are connected by wire or wirelessly so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network 50 such as a LAN (Local Area Network), a telephone network, or a data communication network. Network 50 may include repeaters, such as repeaters, bridges, routers, or cross-connects that relay communication signals. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the detection unit 10, the management server 20, the information manager terminal 30, and the care staff terminal 40 are mutually connected by a network 50 such as a wireless LAN (for example, a LAN according to the IEEE 802.11 standard) including an access point 51 so as to be able to communicate.

The information processing system 1 is arranged at an appropriate place according to the care recipient 70 . The care recipient 70 is, for example, a patient who needs nursing care due to illness or injury, a cared person who needs care due to a decline in physical ability due to old age, a solitary person living alone, or the like. In particular, from the viewpoint of enabling early detection and early treatment, the person to be cared for 70 can be a person who needs detection when a predetermined inconvenient event such as an abnormal condition occurs to the person. Therefore, the information processing system 1 is preferably installed in buildings such as hospitals, welfare facilities for the elderly, and dwelling units according to the type of care recipient 70 . In the example shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 is placed in a facility that includes a plurality of rooms (living rooms) in which a plurality of care recipients 70 reside and a plurality of rooms including a care station.

The detection unit 10 is arranged in each living room, which is the observation area of the care recipient 70 . In the example shown in FIG. 1, four detection units 10 are arranged in the living rooms of persons A, B, C, and D who are care recipients 70, respectively. As shown in FIG. 2, the observation area of the detector 10 includes a bed 60 . A care staff member 80 who provides nursing or nursing care to the care recipient 70 carries a care staff terminal 40, which is a portable terminal. However, the position, number, and the like of each component included in the information processing system 1 are not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, management server 20 may not be located at the care station, but may be an external server unit connected to network 50 .

In addition, care broadly includes care provided by the care staff 80 to the care subject 70, such as living assistance such as eating, water intake, excretion, bathing, cleaning, and vital checks (measurement of body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, etc.). The care staff 80 is a person who provides various services (care) to the care recipient 70 in accordance with the work. Services may include medical services and nursing services.

<Detector 10>
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the detector. As shown in the figure, the detection unit 10 includes a control unit 11, a communication unit 12, a camera 13, a care call unit 14, and an audio input/output unit 15, which are interconnected by a bus. The detection unit 10 functions as a sensor that detects the presence and/or behavior of people (such as the care recipient 70 , the care staff 80 , the family members of the care recipient 70 , etc.) in the living room of the care recipient 70 .

The control unit 11 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), and other memories, and performs control and arithmetic processing of each unit of the detection unit 10 according to a program. Note that the control unit 11 may further include a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) as memory.

The communication unit 12 is an interface circuit (such as a LAN card) for communicating with other devices such as the management server 20, the information manager terminal 30, or the care staff terminal 40 via the network 50. FIG.

The camera 13 is arranged, for example, on the ceiling or the upper part of the wall of the living room, photographs the bed 60 of the care recipient 70 directly below as an observation area, and outputs a photographed image (image data). The captured images include still images and moving images. Although the camera 13 is a near-infrared camera, a visible light camera may be used in place of this, or these may be used in combination.

The control unit 11 recognizes the behavior of the care recipient 70 from the captured image captured by the camera 13 . The recognized actions include, for example, "getting up" from the bed 60, "getting out of bed" from the bed 60, "holding a sitting position" in the bed 60, a wheelchair, an ordinary chair, etc., "getting up" from a chair, etc., and "going out of the living room".

The control unit 11 detects image silhouettes (hereinafter referred to as “person silhouettes”) from a plurality of captured images (moving images). A human silhouette can be detected, for example, by extracting a range of pixels having a relatively large difference based on a time difference obtained by subtracting images captured at different times. A person silhouette may be detected by a background subtraction method in which a background image is subtracted from a captured image. The control unit 11 recognizes the posture of the care recipient 70 (e.g., standing, sitting, lying, etc.) from the detected human silhouette, and from the position relative to the installation in the living room such as the bed 60. These recognitions may be performed by a program processed by the CPU of the control unit 11, or may be performed by a built-in processing circuit.

Further, when the care staff 80, the family members of the care recipient 70, etc. visit the living room of the care recipient 70, the control unit 11 can detect the presence of a person other than the care recipient 70 in the living room of the care recipient 70 from the detected human silhouette. In addition, the posture and behavior of a person other than the person to be cared 70 can also be detected in the same manner as detection of the posture and behavior of the person to be cared 70 . Thus, it is possible to determine whether the care staff 80, the family members of the care recipient 70, or the like have visited the living room of the care recipient 70. FIG.

In this way, the detection unit 10 detects the presence of a person in the living room of the care recipient 70, such as the posture and behavior of the care recipient 70 in the living room, the presence of a person other than the care recipient 70 in the living room, and the posture and behavior of the person, and outputs information about the presence, posture, behavior, etc. of the person.

The care call unit 14 includes a push-button switch, and detects a care call (nurse call) when the care recipient 70 pushes the switch. A voice microphone may be used to detect a care call instead of the push-button switch. When the switch of the care call unit 14 is pressed, that is, when a care call is detected, the control unit 11 transmits a notification of the care call to the management server 20 or the like via the communication unit 12 and the network 50 .

The voice input/output unit 15 is, for example, a speaker and a microphone, and enables voice communication by transmitting and receiving voice signals to and from the information manager terminal 30 via the communication unit 12 . Note that the voice input/output unit 15 may be connected to the detection unit 10 via the communication unit 12 as an external device of the detection unit 10 .

<Management server 20>
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the management server. The management server 20 includes a control section 21 , a communication section 22 and a database 23 . This management server 20 may be provided in the same building as the living room for the care recipient 70, or may be provided in a remote location and connectable via a network. For example, the management server 20 may be a cloud server virtually constructed by a plurality of servers arranged on a network such as the Internet. Each component is communicatively connected to each other by a bus.

Since the control unit 21 and the communication unit 22 have functions similar to those of the components of the detection unit 10, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The database 23 stores information about the care recipient 70, information about the care staff 80, care records, and the like.

The information about the care recipient 70 includes, for example, the name, date of birth, ID number, room number, amount of food consumed in daily life, water intake other than meals, past diseases, degree of nursing care required, current outpatient status, etc. of the care recipient 70. The information about the care staff 80 includes information such as the name of the care staff 80, the staff ID, and the date of birth, for example.

A care record is a document that records information about care for the care recipient 70 at the facility. For example, based on a care plan prepared for each care subject 70, the care staff 80 provides various living assistance such as eating, water intake, excretion, bathing, cleaning, etc., and performs vital checks (measurement of body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, etc.). Care such as assistance and vital checks performed by the care staff 80 for the care subject 70, and the behavior and state of the care subject 70 are recorded in the care record. The care record is updated by inputting care information for the care recipient 70 by the care staff 80 . Care records are input through the input unit 44 of the care staff terminal 40, for example.

<Information manager terminal 30>
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the information manager terminal. The information manager terminal 30 is a so-called PC (Personal Computer), and includes a control section 31, a communication section 32, a display section 33, an input section 34, and an audio input/output section 35, which are interconnected by a bus. The control unit 31 has a configuration similar to that of the control unit 11 of the detection unit 10, and includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like.

The communication unit 32 is an interface for various local connections such as a network interface for wired communication based on standards such as Ethernet (registered trademark) and an interface for wireless communication based on standards such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) and IEEE 802.11, and communicates with each terminal connected to the network 50.

The display unit 33 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays various information. The display unit 33 displays an image captured by the detection unit 10, for example.

The input unit 34 includes a keyboard, numeric keypad, mouse, etc., and inputs various information.

The voice input/output unit 35 is, for example, a headset equipped with a speaker and a microphone.

In this embodiment, the information manager terminal 30 is used as a terminal for the information manager 90, displays various information in the facility to the information manager 90, and receives instructions. Further, voice communication with the care staff 80 or the like is enabled by transmitting and receiving voice signals to and from the detection unit 10 or the care staff terminal 40 via the communication unit 32 . Here, the information manager 90 is a manager who supervises a plurality of care staffs 80 . The information manager 90 may comprehensively manage the care staff 80 working not only at one facility but also at a plurality of facilities.

In addition, the care staff 80 or the technical staff or the like, through the information manager terminal 30, when the detection unit 10 is installed in each room (living room), associates the room number with the detection unit 10, or calibrates and designates the position information of the installed objects in the living room such as the bed 60, that is, the contour information of the upward view by the camera 13 on the ceiling. In addition, identification information such as the name and ID number of the care recipient 70 who is hospitalized or resides in the room is associated with each room number.

In this embodiment, the control unit 31 receives data input for input items of LIFE (scientific care information system) from each care staff terminal 40, organizes and integrates this information, and generates a file (e.g., CSV file) in a predetermined format used when submitting to the official website of LIFE. The input items may be, for example, items related to activities of daily living (ADL: Activities of Daily Living), cognitive functions, motivation, and the like. Cognitive function can be evaluated by an index such as DBD (Dementia Behavior Scale) 13, for example. Motivation can also be evaluated by an index such as the Vitality Index. The data input for the input items can be displayed as a list by the display unit 33 . The information manager 90 operates the information manager terminal 30 to periodically submit the CSV file generated based on the input data to the LIFE official site using dedicated software.

<Care staff terminal 40>
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the care staff terminal, and FIG. 7 is a functional block diagram illustrating some functions of the control section shown in FIG.

The care staff terminal 40 functions as an information processing device. The care staff terminal 40 includes a control section 41, a wireless communication section 42, a display section 43, an input section 44, and an audio input/output section 45, which are interconnected by a bus.

The control unit 41 has a configuration similar to that of the control unit 11 of the detection unit 10, and includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like. As shown in FIG. 7 , the control unit 41 functions as an assessment generation unit 411 , an assessment input unit 412 and a correction reception unit 413 . These functions are implemented by the CPU of the control unit 41 executing an information processing program. The assessment generation unit 411 generates an assessment for the input item from the detection result of the detection unit 10 . The assessment input unit 412 inputs the assessment generated by the assessment generation unit 411 to the awareness input application. Awareness input application (awareness input application) is Web application software that supports inputting an assessment of the condition and behavior of the care recipient 70 when the care staff 80 is caring for the care recipient 70 and notices changes in the care recipient 70's condition and behavior. The correction receiving unit 413 receives corrections to the assessment input to the awareness input application. Details of these functions will be described later.

The wireless communication unit 42 is capable of wireless communication using standards such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (registered trademark), and wirelessly communicates with each device via the access point 51 or directly.

The display unit 43 and the input unit 44 are touch panels, and a touch sensor as the input unit 44 is superimposed on the display surface of the display unit 43 made of liquid crystal or the like. The display unit 33 displays LIFE input items and the like for the care staff 80 . In addition, the care staff 80 inputs an assessment of the condition and behavior of the care recipient 70 regarding the input items through the input unit 44, and when caring for the care recipient 70, inputs information on the care given to the care recipient 70 in the care record.

The voice input/output unit 45 is, for example, a speaker and a microphone, and enables voice communication by the care staff 80 with other care staff terminals 40 via the wireless communication unit 42 . The care staff terminal 40 is a device that functions as a user interface of the information processing system 1, and can be composed of a portable communication terminal device such as a tablet computer, a smart phone, or a mobile phone.

The care staff 80 performs login authentication processing through the assigned care staff terminal 40 at the start of work. The care staff 80 inputs the staff ID and password through the touch panel (display unit 43, input unit 44) of the care staff terminal 40, and transmits them to the management server 20. FIG. The management server 20 compares the authentication information stored in the database 23 and transmits the authentication result corresponding to the authority of the care staff 80 to the care staff terminal 40, thereby completing the login authentication.

Note that the detection unit 10, the management server 20, the information manager terminal 30, and the care staff terminal 40 may include components other than the above components, or may not include some of the above components.

The control unit 41 executes an awareness input application, and assists the care staff 80 in inputting an assessment of the condition and behavior of the care recipient 70 . In addition, in the present embodiment, the control unit 41 is configured to receive input from the care staff 80 who cares for the care recipient 70 with respect to input items of LIFE as a function of the awareness input application. Therefore, the care staff 80 can input an assessment of the condition and behavior of the care recipient 70 for the input items when noticing changes in the condition and behavior of the care recipient 70, or periodically (for example, every day, week, and month).

In the input items of LIFE, the care staff 80 is required to input an assessment into the input items related to getting out of bed, maintaining a sitting position, and standing up, for example, in the item of "getting out of bed/basic movement". As for getting out of bed, it is necessary to input whether or not the user gets out of bed and, if he/she gets out of bed, the time of getting out of bed per day. As for the sitting position, it is necessary to input whether or not the sitting position is maintained, and if the sitting position is maintained, the breakdown of the sitting position retention time for the bed, wheelchair, ordinary chair, and others. In addition, it is necessary to input the presence/absence of rising and the number of times of rising per day. In addition, there are a plurality of input items in which the care staff 80 should enter the assessment in the item "how to spend the day, etc.", but for example, it is necessary to input the staying time in places other than the living room (e.g., dining room, day room, etc.), the number of visits by the care staff 80 to the living room of the care recipient 70, and the like.

The care staff 80 can grasp the condition and behavior of the person to be cared for 70 through daily care, and can manually input an assessment of LIFE input items into the awareness input application. Moreover, in this embodiment, in addition to that, it is possible to automatically input the assessment generated by the assessment generation unit 411 into the awareness input application for some of the LIFE input items. Automatic/manual selection can be configured for some input items that can be automatically input.

For example, when the care staff 80 manually inputs an assessment regarding getting out of bed, the care staff 80 estimates the time of getting out of bed per day for the person to be cared for 70, notices the presence or absence of getting out of bed, and the time of getting out of bed for the input item of LIFE, and inputs it into the input application.

In addition, when the care staff 80 manually inputs the assessment regarding the visit to the living room of the care subject 70, the number of visits to the living room by the care staff 80 is estimated from the description of the care record, for example, and the number of visits to the living room per day is noticed and entered into the input application. Since the number of visits to the living room varies depending on the day, the average value for a predetermined period (for example, one month, three months) can be input instead of inputting the number of visits every day. For example, if the condition of the care recipient 70 deteriorates, the number of visits to the living room will increase, and if the condition improves, the number of visits to the living room will decrease. In addition, the number of visits to the living room is not limited to the care staff 80, and may include visits by the family members of the person to be cared for 70. Therefore, by subtracting the number of visits by family members from the total number of visits, the number of visits by the care staff 80 can be accurately estimated.

Further, when the care staff 80 inputs the assessment, the name of the care staff 80 who has input the assessment and the input date and time can be stored as a history. This allows other care staff to easily recognize that the assessment has been input by care staff 80 .

Also, when planning a care plan, it is necessary to assess the LIFE input items over a predetermined period of time. For example, care staff 80 can determine the adequacy of the care plan by comparing the assessment over the last three months with the assessment over the previous three months. Further, the care staff 80 can judge whether or not the matters described in the care plan are followed.

In order to input an accurate assessment of these input items without relying on the care staff 80's guesses, it is necessary to grasp the behavior of each care recipient 70 over a predetermined period of time. However, in reality, it is difficult for the care staff 80 to grasp the actions of each person to be cared 70 for a predetermined period of time in their daily work.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, an assessment of input items is generated from the detection results of sensors that detect the presence and/or behavior of people in the living room of the care recipient 70, and the generated assessment is automatically input to the awareness input application. An overview of the processing procedure of the information processing method according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

(Information processing method)
FIG. 8 is a flow chart illustrating an outline of the processing procedure of the information processing method of this embodiment. The processing of the flowchart of FIG. 1 is realized by the CPU of the control unit 41 executing the information processing program.

First, it is determined whether or not an instruction to execute the awareness input application has been received (step S101). If the control unit 41 has not received an instruction to execute the awareness input application (step S101: NO), it waits until the instruction is received. On the other hand, when receiving an instruction to execute the awareness input application (step S101: YES), the control unit 41 executes the awareness input application (step S102).

The care staff 80 inputs an assessment of the condition and behavior of the care recipient 70 for manually input items of LIFE while caring for the care recipient 70 in the care recipient 70 's living room. For example, the care staff 80 notices and inputs into the input application an assessment of the willingness to get up while performing wake-up care for the person to be cared 70 . In addition, while the care staff 80 is providing meal care for the person 70 to be cared for, the care staff 80 perceives an assessment of willingness to eat and inputs it into the input application. At this time, the masticatory ability and the swallowing function are observed, and the assessment of the condition of the care recipient 70 is noticed and entered into the input application. Further, the care staff 80, for example, while performing rehabilitation of the person to be cared 70, notices an assessment of walking on level ground and inputs it into the input application.

Next, an assessment for the LIFE input items is generated (step S103). The assessment generation unit 411 generates an assessment for the input items to be automatically input from the detection result of the detection unit 10 . As described above, the detection unit 10 can detect actions of the person to be cared 70, such as getting up, leaving the bed, maintaining a sitting position, standing up, and going out.

For example, the assessment generation unit 411 determines whether or not the care recipient 70 leaves the bed from the detection result of the care recipient 70 leaving the bed, and when the care recipient 70 leaves the bed, calculates the bed leaving time per day. The determined presence or absence of getting out of bed and the calculated time of getting out of bed are assessments of LIFE input items.

In addition, the assessment generation unit 411, for example, determines whether or not the care recipient 70 is in a sitting position based on the detection result of the sitting posture of the care recipient 70, and if the care recipient 70 is in a sitting position, calculates the sitting time per day. In addition, the assessment generation unit 411 determines the details of the sitting position retention time for the bed 60, wheelchair, ordinary chair, and others. The presence or absence of sitting posture, the sitting posture retention time, and its breakdown are assessments of LIFE input items.

Further, the assessment generation unit 411 determines whether or not the care recipient 70 stands up from the detection result of the care recipient 70 standing up, and calculates the number of times the care recipient 70 stands up per day if the care recipient 70 does stand up. The determined presence/absence of rise and the calculated number of rises are assessments of the LIFE input items.

Furthermore, the assessment generation unit 411 determines, for example, the stay of the care recipient 70 in a place other than the living room from the detection result of going out of the care recipient 70, and calculates the stay time per day when the care recipient 70 stays in a place other than the living room. The determined presence or absence of stay in a place other than the living room and the calculated staying time in a place other than the living room are assessments of LIFE input items.

Next, the generated assessment is input to the noticing input application (step S104). The assessment input unit 412 inputs the assessment generated by the assessment generation unit 411 into the awareness input application. The entered assessment is stored in memory by the Awareness Input App. Note that the assessment input unit 412 can be configured to store in memory the fact that the assessment has been automatically input and the input date and time. This allows the care staff 80 to recognize that the assessment has been automatically entered.

If the assessment input to the awareness input application by the assessment input unit 412 is not appropriate, the care staff 80 can also correct the assessment input to the awareness input application. The correction receiving unit 413 receives corrections to the assessment input to the awareness input application, and corrects the assessments stored in the memory. As a result, if the assessment automatically generated by the assessment generation unit 411 is incorrect, it can be corrected.

Further, when correcting the assessment, the correction accepting unit 413 stores the person who corrected the information (the care staff member 80 logged in to the care staff terminal 40) and the date and time of correction in the memory as a correction history.

Furthermore, the control unit 41 can also cause the display unit 43 to display the correction history of the assessment input to the awareness input application. This allows you to see when and by whom the assessment was revised.

As described above, in the process of the flowchart of FIG. 8, the control unit 41 executes the awareness input application, generates an assessment for input items of LIFE, and inputs the generated assessment to the awareness input application.

The care staff terminal 40, the information processing system 1, and the information processing program of this embodiment described above have the following effects.

Based on the detection results of sensors that detect the presence and/or behavior of people in the living room of the care recipient 70, an assessment of the LIFE input items is generated and input to the awareness input application. Therefore, even if the care staff 80 cannot comprehend the behavior of the person to be cared for 70, the care staff 80 can input the assessment without relying on guesses for the input items. In addition, since the care staff 80 can reduce the trouble of inputting the assessment for the input items, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the work.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but can be modified in various ways within the scope of the claims.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the LIFE items such as "getting out of bed/basic movement" and "how to spend the day, etc." were described as examples, but the present invention is not limited to these items, and can be applied to other LIFE items (for example, "training time", etc.).

Further, the care staff 80 may set the time at which the assessment generated by the assessment generation unit 411 is automatically input to the awareness input application, and the assessment may be input at the set time.

Further, the information processing program may be provided by a computer-readable recording medium such as a USB memory, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, or may be provided online via a network such as the Internet. In this case, the program recorded on the computer-readable recording medium is usually transferred and stored in a memory, storage, or the like. Also, this information processing program may be provided, for example, as independent application software, or may be incorporated in the software of each device as one function of the server.

Also, part or all of the processing executed by the program in the embodiment can be executed by replacing it with hardware such as a circuit.
