Description

The present disclosure relates to a caregiver management device, a caregiver management method, and a caregiver management program for managing caregivers who care for a care recipient in a home-type care facility that cares for a care recipient such as an elderly person.

Conventionally, in home-type nursing care facilities, caregivers have provided care for the cared person while obtaining vital data of the cared person using a life logger or the like and grasping the condition of the cared person. In such a care method, the caregiver can immediately grasp changes in the condition of the cared person, and can respond effectively to the cared person. In addition, by continuously monitoring the cared person using this type of care method, it is possible to reduce excessive care by the carer, and improve the lifestyle of the cared person at the home-type care facility and improve the care of the carer. This also contributes to reducing the load on people.

On the other hand, in residential care facilities, many caregivers perform care work. Therefore, managers (managers, etc.) of in-home nursing care facilities need to manage the care work of caregivers, such as whether the caregiver is providing care appropriately and whether there are any omissions in care.

JP2019-8656A (Patent Document 1) discloses a nursing care record support system. The nursing care record support system includes a location information acquisition section that acquires the caregiver's location information, a voice acquisition section that acquires the caregiver's voice, and an extraction section that extracts the nursing care situation information related to the nursing care situation included in the caregiver's voice. , a specifying section that specifies setting information regarding the care of the cared person based on the position information, and a recording section that associates the setting information and the care situation information and records it as a care record of the cared person. This allows for accurate nursing care records that do not require caregivers to rely on memory, without requiring them to take any extra effort.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-21635 (Patent Document 2) discloses a monitoring system for a person in need of care. A system for monitoring a person requiring care includes a first transmitter/receiver that is attached to the person being watched and transmits and receives biological information of the person being watched and communication signals between the person being watched and the person being watched, and a plurality of devices. A common second transceiver that transmits and receives biometric information, etc. and call signals to and from the first transceiver, and a common second transceiver that transmits and receives biometric information, etc., from a plurality of first transceivers connected to the second transceiver. The system includes a common monitoring device that displays a message, a common communication device that is connected to a second transmitter/receiver to communicate with the person being watched, and a common server to which a plurality of monitoring devices are connected. A common server receives and accumulates information on a plurality of monitored persons from each monitoring device. For example, when a care recipient changes from one day care center to another, this prevents previously accumulated data from becoming unusable, suppresses false alarms, and helps care recipients. Improving the reliability of the monitoring system.

Hereinafter, a caregiver management system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be specifically described based on the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the caregiver management system 1 of this embodiment includes a caregiver terminal 10, a life logger (care recipient terminal) 20, and a server 30. The server 30 is a caregiver management device.

The caregiver terminal 10 is a mobile communication terminal operated by a caregiver who cares for a cared person in a home-type care facility, and can access the server 30 via the network 100. The caregiver terminal 10 is, for example, a mobile communication terminal such as a wireless tag, a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal. In particular, the caregiver terminal 10 is preferably a smartphone or a tablet terminal. Further, the caregiver terminal 10 may be a beacon. A caregiver ID for identifying the caregiver terminal 10 is assigned to the caregiver terminal 10. In the present disclosure, a "home-based care facility" refers to a living facility where people who require care, such as the elderly or people with disabilities, live while receiving care from a caregiver, and includes, for example, a care facility for the elderly, Refers to nursing care health facilities for the elderly, nursing care medical facilities, elderly residences with services, paid nursing homes, nursing homes for the elderly, low-cost nursing homes, group homes, care homes, facilities for persons with disabilities, etc.

The cared person terminal is, for example, a wireless tag, a beacon, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a tablet type terminal, or a terminal for monitoring the cared person such as a life logger. Among these terminals, lifeloggers are commonly used in many facilities because they can grasp the situation of care recipients in real time. Therefore, by using the life logger as a care receiver terminal, costs can be reduced compared to preparing a separate care receiver terminal. Therefore, in this embodiment, a case will be described in which the life logger 20 is used as the cared person terminal. The life logger 20 is installed under a mattress or a mattress on a bed used by a cared person, that is, between the bed and the mattress or mattress. The life logger 20 acquires the vital data of the cared person and periodically transmits the vital data to the server 30 via the network 100. Lifelogger 20 can access server 30 via network 100. Furthermore, the lifelogger 20 is assigned a lifelogger ID (care recipient ID) for identifying the lifelogger 20. As described later, when the caregiver terminal 10 approaches the life logger 20 within a predetermined distance range, the life logger 20 pairs the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 and sends the pairing information to the server 30. do. Note that the life logger 20 is not limited to being installed between the bed and the futon or mattress, but may be attached to the comforter of the bed, or may be worn by the person being cared for. Alternatively, the camera may be installed in the room of the cared person and photograph the cared person. However, the life logger 20 installed between the bed and the comforter or mattress can acquire vital data without causing discomfort to the cared person, and does not pose privacy issues unlike camera photography. Therefore, it is preferable that the life logger 20 is installed between the bed and the futon or mattress. Note that the cared person terminal detects that a caregiver carrying the carer terminal 10 approaches the cared person by pairing the carer terminal 10 and the cared person terminal, and the carer terminal 10 and the cared person As long as it can be paired with a terminal, it can be set anywhere, such as in the cared person's room.

The server 30 processes various information received from the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20. Additionally, the server 30 processes various types of information to be transmitted to the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20. Specifically, a caregiver management program is installed to cause the server 30 to execute each step described below.

As shown in FIG. 2, the caregiver terminal 10 includes an input section 11, a display section 12 that displays various information, a caregiver ID transmitter 13, a warning receiver 14, and a correction information transmitter 15. Be prepared. When the caregiver terminal 10 approaches within a predetermined range from the lifelogger 20, the caregiver ID transmitter 13 transmits the caregiver ID of the caregiver terminal 10 in order to pair the caregiver terminal 10 and the lifelogger 20. Send to life logger 20. The warning receiving unit 14 receives a warning sent from the server 30 when there is a discrepancy between the nursing care schedule and the actual nursing care time, as will be described later. The warning includes information such as the time of separation, paired caregiver ID, and life logger ID. The modification information transmitting section 15 transmits the modification information of the care schedule to the server 30 when the warning receiving section 14 receives the warning. The correction information is input by the caregiver using the input unit 11. Note that the input unit 11 is, for example, a mobile terminal key or a touch panel. The display unit 12 is a display or the like. Further, the caregiver terminal 10 is equipped with a CPU, a main memory device, an auxiliary memory device, etc., like a general mobile communication terminal such as a smartphone.

As shown in FIG. 3, the life logger 20 includes a vital data transmitting section 21, a caregiver ID receiving section 22, a pairing information transmitting section 23, and a pairing cancellation information transmitting section 24. The vital data transmitting unit 21 periodically transmits the vital data acquired from the cared person to the server 30. The caregiver ID receiving unit 22 receives the caregiver ID transmitted from the caregiver terminal 10 when the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 are paired. When the pairing information caregiver terminal 10 and the lifelogger 20 are paired, the pairing information transmitter 23 transmits pairing information including the pairing time, caregiver ID, and lifelogger ID to the server 30. do. When the caregiver terminal 10 leaves the predetermined range of the lifelogger 20, the pairing cancellation information transmitting unit 24 determines that the pairing between the caregiver terminal 10 and the lifelogger 20 has been canceled and sends the pairing cancellation to the server 30. Submit information. Note that when the caregiver terminal 10 comes within a predetermined distance from the life logger 20, pairing is automatically performed. Pairing between the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 may be performed using, for example, wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark).

As shown in FIG. 4, the server 30 includes a storage unit 31 that stores various information such as a care schedule, a caregiver ID, and a life logger ID, a vital data receiving unit 32, a pairing information receiving unit 33, and a starting unit. It includes a time determination section 34, a pairing cancellation information reception section 35, an end time determination section 36, a warning transmission section 37, a modification information reception section 38, and a schedule modification section 39. Note that the vital data receiving unit 32 periodically receives the vital data of the cared person and transmits the vital data to the caregiver terminal 10 or the administrator terminal 40 as appropriate.

The pairing information receiving section 33 receives the pairing information transmitted from the pairing information transmitting section 23 of the life logger 20. Note that the pairing information may be received from the caregiver terminal 10. That is, the caregiver terminal 10 may include a pairing information transmitter. However, the lifelogger 20 regularly communicates with the server 30 when transmitting vital data, and when multiple caregivers care for one cared person, multiple pairings from multiple caregiver terminals 10 are required. Considering the stability of communication, such as the possibility that information may be transmitted, it is preferable that the lifelogger 20 transmits the pairing information.

The start time determination unit 34 determines whether the caregiver has started caring for the cared person based on the care start time of the preset care schedule. More specifically, the start time determination unit 34 determines whether a caregiver who owns the caregiver terminal 10 assigned the caregiver ID provides care to a predetermined care recipient in the care schedule corresponding to the caregiver ID. Determine whether it has started. The cared person is identified by the lifelogger ID of the lifelogger 20 installed on the bed used by the cared person. The start time determination unit 34 compares the time at which the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 are paired with the care start time of the care schedule set in advance, and determines the pairing time and the care start time of the care schedule. It is determined whether the deviation from the time exceeds a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold value may be determined in various ways, and may be changed depending on the experience of the caregiver or the situation of each cared person, for example.

The pairing release information receiving unit 35 receives the pairing release information transmitted from the pairing release information transmitting unit 24 of the life logger 20. Note that the pairing cancellation information may be transmitted from the caregiver terminal 10 in the same way as the pairing information described above. However, similarly to the above, it is preferable that the pairing cancellation information is transmitted from the lifelogger 20.

The end time determination unit 36 determines whether the caregiver has finished caring for the cared person based on a preset care schedule. More specifically, the end time determination unit 36 determines whether a caregiver who owns the caregiver terminal 10 assigned the caregiver ID provides care to a predetermined care recipient in the care schedule corresponding to the caregiver ID. Determine whether it has finished. The cared person is identified by the lifelogger ID of the lifelogger 20 installed on the bed used by the cared person. The end time determination unit 36 compares the time at which the pairing between the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 included in the pairing release information is canceled with the care end time of the preset care schedule, and determines the pairing. It is determined whether the discrepancy between the given time and the care end time of the care schedule exceeds a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold value may be determined in various ways, and may be changed depending on the experience of the caregiver or the situation of each cared person, for example.

The warning transmitter 37 sends a warning when the difference between the pairing time and the care start time exceeds a predetermined threshold, and when the difference between the pairing release time and the care end time exceeds a predetermined threshold. If so, a warning is sent to the caregiver terminal 10. The warning includes information such as the time of separation, paired caregiver ID, and life logger ID.

The modification information receiving unit 38 receives modification information transmitted from the caregiver terminal 10.

The schedule modification unit 39 modifies the care schedule recorded in the storage unit 31 based on the modification information received by the modification information receiving unit 38.

The caregiver management system 1 further includes an administrator terminal 40, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the administrator terminal 40 includes an input section 41 into which various information can be input, and a display section 42 which displays various information. The input unit 41 is, for example, a keyboard. The display unit 42 is, for example, a display. The display unit 42 displays the vital data received by the vital data receiving unit 32 and various information transmitted and received by the server 30. The display unit 42 displays information on the paired caregiver ID and life logger ID, that is, location information of the caregivers, such as which care recipient each caregiver is caring for. The display unit 42 displays the care schedule of each caregiver ID and the care schedule modified by the schedule correction unit 39. At this time, as will be described later, the administrator may visually check the revised nursing care schedule displayed on the display unit 42 to confirm whether the nursing care schedule revised by the caregiver is appropriate. Further, the administrator terminal 40 can display information included in the warning received by the server 30 on the display unit 42. The display unit 42 may display this information in real time, or may update it periodically at predetermined time intervals. Further, the care schedule can be set in advance by being input by the administrator through the input unit 41 of the administrator terminal 40. Thereby, the administrator can manage whether the caregiver is appropriately performing care work. Further, although not particularly illustrated, the administrator terminal 40 may include an administrator's warning receiving section and an administrator's correction information transmitting section. The administrator warning receiving section of the administrator terminal 40 may receive a warning from the warning transmitting section 37 of the server 30, as will be described later. The administrator may check the progress of each caregiver's care work and modify each caregiver's care schedule. The modification information is transmitted from the administrator modification information transmission section to the modification information reception section 38 of the server 30. Alternatively, even if the administrator terminal 40 does not receive a warning from the server 30, the administrator correction information transmitting section may receive information input by the administrator from the input section 41 based on the nursing care schedule displayed on the display section 42, etc. The modified information may be transmitted to the modified information receiving section 38 of the server 30. The server 30 can modify the care schedule of each caregiver stored in the storage unit 31 based on the modification information. In this way, the care schedule may be modified by the administrator rather than the caregiver.

Next, an example of the database stored in the storage unit 31 of the server 30 will be explained using FIGS. 6 to 8. Note that the databases shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 are merely examples, and which information is stored in which database may be changed as appropriate.

As shown in FIG. 6, the caregiver terminal information database stores the caregiver ID of the caregiver terminal 10, the caregiver's name, etc. in association with each other for each caregiver ID. Caregivers working in residential care facilities are replaced by new jobs and retirement. Therefore, the name of the caregiver associated with the caregiver ID can be updated as appropriate in accordance with the replacement of caregivers. Alternatively, a caregiver who comes to work according to shift work receives one caregiver terminal 10 from a plurality of caregiver terminals 10 from a manager, and returns the caregiver terminal 10 to the manager when leaving work after finishing care work. There is also the actual work situation. In this case, when the caregiver receives the caregiver terminal 10 from the administrator and when returning it to the administrator, the caregiver's name corresponding to the caregiver ID can be updated as appropriate. In this case, only the caregiver ID may be stored in the caregiver terminal information database, and the administrator may separately manage which caregiver terminal 10 the caregiver owns. . Note that in order to identify each of the caregiver terminals 10, the MAC address of the caregiver terminal 10 or the like may be used.

As shown in FIG. 7, the lifelogger information database stores the lifelogger ID, the room number where the lifelogger 20 is installed, the name of the cared person, etc. for each lifelogger ID. The information stored in the life logger information database can be updated as appropriate according to the care recipient ID moving in and moving out. Note that information necessary for managing the cared person, such as the move-in date and move-out date of the cared person, may be stored in the life logger information database as appropriate.

As shown in FIG. 8, the storage unit 31 stores care schedules set in advance for each caregiver ID. The care schedule stores, for each caregiver, the start and end times of care for a predetermined cared person and the contents of care. The care schedule shown in FIG. 8 is from 5 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. However, nursing care is provided by multiple caregivers working in shifts 24 hours a day. Therefore, the care schedule is set in advance for 24 hours a day. Therefore, a part of the nursing care schedule shown in FIG. 8 has been extracted to facilitate explanation of the nursing care schedule. Furthermore, the time interval between the start time and end time of care may be lengthened or shortened depending on the content of care.

As an example, caregiver A's care schedule will be explained. Caregiver A is scheduled to assist care recipient G in excretion from 5:00 to 5:30, assist care recipient H in excretion from 5:30 to 6:00, and assist care recipient H in excretion from 6:00 to 6:00. Morning care for cared person I at 30:00, morning care for cared person J from 6:30 to 7:00, and morning care for cared person G from 7:00 to 8:00. From 8:00 to 8:30, assists care recipient I in excretion, and from 9:00 to 10:00, together with caregiver B, assists care recipient G in bathing. Caregiver A leaves work at 10:00. In this way, caregiver A performs care work according to a preset care schedule. The nursing care schedule may be set in advance by setting appropriate time for each nursing care task such as excretion assistance or meal assistance, and then setting the nursing care schedule according to the appropriate time for each nursing care task. The appropriate time for nursing care work is the time required from the start to the end of each nursing care work that is generally considered to be required for excretion assistance, meal assistance, etc. In this case, although not particularly shown, the storage unit 31 may store an appropriate time database for each care work for each care work. The same applies to caregiver B, caregiver C, and other caregivers. Note that the meal assistance is assistance with meals served in the cared person's room, and the bathing assistance is assistance with bathing in a bathtub transported into the cared person's room.

Although not particularly illustrated, for example, a large number of care recipients, such as care recipients G to L, may eat at a cafeteria installed in a home-type care facility. At this time, pairing information with the caregiver ID cannot be transmitted to the server 30 using the life logger 20 installed in the living room. Therefore, if a care recipient terminal is separately installed in the cafeteria, the care recipient terminal in the cafeteria and the caregiver terminal can be paired to modify the care schedule and manage the caregiver. Similarly, when providing bathing assistance in a bathroom installed in a home-type care facility rather than in the care recipient's room, the care recipient terminal is installed in the bathroom, and the care recipient terminal in the bathroom is All you have to do is pair it with the caregiver's terminal.

The flow of modifying the care schedule stored in the server 30 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Although the life logger 20 periodically transmits the vital data of the cared person to the server 30, illustration and explanation thereof will be omitted here.

As shown in FIG. 9, when a caregiver carrying the caregiver terminal 10 enters the cared person's room, that is, within a predetermined distance from the life logger 20, the caregiver terminal 10 transmits the caregiver ID. The unit 13 transmits the caregiver ID to the life logger 20 (S101). When the caregiver ID receiving unit 22 of the lifelogger 20 receives the caregiver ID (S102), it pairs with the caregiver terminal 10 and records the time of pairing, the caregiver ID of the caregiver terminal 10, and the life of the lifelogger 20. Pairing information including the logger ID is generated (S103). The pairing information transmitter 23 of the lifelogger 20 transmits pairing information to the server 30 (S104). When the pairing information receiving unit 33 of the server 30 receives the pairing information (S105), the start time determining unit 34 determines the care start time of the care schedule corresponding to the caregiver ID and the cared person ID, and the pairing information. It is compared with the included paired times, and it is determined whether the discrepancy between these times is within a predetermined threshold (time interval) (S106). For example, referring to FIG. 8, in the care schedule of caregiver A, the pairing information receiving unit 33 receives pairing information for meal assistance for care recipient G whose care start time is 7:00. If the time is 7:10 (or 6:50), the difference between these times is 10 minutes. If the predetermined threshold is set to 5 minutes, it is determined that the deviation between these times exceeds the predetermined threshold. If the deviation between these times exceeds a predetermined threshold, the warning transmitter 37 of the server 30 transmits a warning to the caregiver terminal 10 (S107). If the deviation between these times does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the server 30 does not send a warning to the caregiver terminal 10. When the warning receiving unit 14 of the caregiver terminal 10 receives the warning (S108), the caregiver who owns the caregiver terminal 10 inputs care schedule modification information through the input unit 11. The correction information transmitting unit 15 of the caregiver terminal 10 transmits the correction information to the server 30 (S109). When the modification information receiving unit 38 of the server 30 receives the modification information (S110), the schedule modification unit 39 modifies the care schedule stored in the storage unit 31 (S111). Although not particularly illustrated, when the modification information receiving section 38 of the server 30 receives the modification information (S110), the modification information may be displayed on the display section 42 of the administrator terminal 40. The administrator can check the modification information displayed on the display unit 42. If the modification information is appropriate, the server 30 receives the approval information input by the administrator from the input unit 41 of the administrator terminal 40 (S110-1). After the server 30 receives the repair approval information, the schedule modification unit 39 modifies the care schedule stored in the storage unit 31 (S111). On the other hand, if the modified information is not appropriate, the server 30 receives the modified information corrected by the input unit 42 of the administrator terminal 40 (S110-2). In this way, after the server 30 receives the approval information or the correction information, the schedule modification unit 39 may modify the care schedule stored in the storage unit 31 (S111). The correction information may be transmitted from the server 30 to the caregiver terminal 10. Thereby, the caregiver can confirm that the correction information inputted by the caregiver has been further corrected by the administrator. Further, if the modification information is not appropriate, the administrator may urge the caregiver to modify the care schedule again.

As shown in FIG. 10, when the caregiver finishes caring for the care receiver and leaves the care receiver's room, that is, comes out of the predetermined distance range of the life logger 20, the caregiver terminal 10 and the The pairing with the logger 20 is canceled (S112). The pairing cancellation information transmitting unit 24 of the lifelogger 20 generates pairing cancellation information including the time when the pairing was canceled, the caregiver ID, and the lifelogger ID (S113), and transmits the pairing cancellation information to the server 30. (S114). When the pairing release information receiving unit 35 of the server 30 receives the pairing release information (S115), the end time determination unit 36 determines the care end time of the care schedule corresponding to the caregiver ID and the cared person ID, and the pairing It is compared with the time when the pairing included in the cancellation information is canceled, and it is determined whether the deviation between these times is within a predetermined threshold (time interval) (S116). For example, referring to FIG. 8, in the care schedule of caregiver A, the pairing release information receiving unit 35 receives pairing release information for meal assistance of care recipient G whose care end time is 8:00. If the received time is 8:10 (or 7:50), the difference between these times is 10 minutes. If the predetermined threshold is set to 5 minutes, it is determined that the deviation between these times exceeds the predetermined threshold. If the deviation between these times exceeds a predetermined threshold, the warning transmitter 37 of the server 30 transmits a warning to the caregiver terminal 10 (S117). If the deviation between these times does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the server 30 does not send a warning to the caregiver terminal 10. When the warning receiving unit 14 of the caregiver terminal 10 receives the warning (S118), the caregiver who owns the caregiver terminal 10 inputs care schedule modification information through the input unit 11. The correction information transmitting unit 15 of the caregiver terminal 10 transmits the correction information to the server 30 (S119). When the modification information receiving unit 38 of the server 30 receives the modification information (S120), the schedule modification unit 39 modifies the nursing care schedule stored in the storage unit 31 (S121). Furthermore, although not particularly illustrated, when the modification information receiving unit 38 of the server 30 receives the modification information (S120), the modification information may be displayed on the display unit 42 of the administrator terminal 40. The administrator can check the modification information displayed on the display unit 42. If the modification information is appropriate, the server 30 receives the approval information input by the administrator from the input unit 41 of the administrator terminal 40 (S120-1). After the server 30 receives the repair approval information, the schedule modification unit 39 modifies the care schedule stored in the storage unit 31 (S121). On the other hand, if the modified information is not appropriate, the server 30 receives the modified information corrected by the input unit 42 of the administrator terminal 40 (S120-2). In this way, after the server 30 receives the approval information or the correction information, the schedule modification unit 39 may modify the care schedule stored in the storage unit 31 (S121). The correction information may be transmitted from the server 30 to the caregiver terminal 10. Thereby, the caregiver can confirm that the correction information inputted by the caregiver has been further corrected by the administrator. Further, if the modification information is not appropriate, the administrator may urge the caregiver to modify the care schedule again. When the caregiver inputs the correction information, for example, if the care start time or end time of the care schedule is 10 minutes later, the care worker can modify the subsequent care schedule to be 10 minutes later.

Note that a method for a computer to execute these operations and a program therefor are also included in the embodiments of the present invention.

(Modified example)
The warning transmitter 37 also issues a warning when the lifelogger ID included in the pairing information and the lifelogger ID stored in the care schedule do not match, that is, when the caregiver enters the wrong room at a predetermined time. may be sent. Further, the warning transmitter 37 of the server 30 may transmit a warning to the administrator terminal 40. At this time, the warning sent to the administrator terminal 40 can include pairing information or pairing cancellation information. This allows the administrator to understand and manage delays in care work by caregivers and whether care work is being performed appropriately. For example, if the care schedule is set with the expectation that excretion assistance will take a certain amount of time, the time interval between the pairing time and the unpairing time is longer than the predetermined time required for excretion assistance. If it is extremely short, the caregiver may not be providing proper excretion assistance to the care recipient. The administrator can understand whether the caregiver's care work is delayed or whether the care work is being performed appropriately, and can instruct the caregiver to improve the care work. Further, the warning transmitting unit 37 may transmit a warning to the caregiver terminal 10 when pairing information is not received from the life logger 20 even after a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the care start time of the care schedule. . Thereby, it is possible to prevent a caregiver from making a mistake such as forgetting to perform care work for a predetermined care recipient.

Referring to FIG. 9, for example, if the care schedule is not corrected when the caregiver leaves as shown in FIG. When finishing and leaving the room, the server 30 may receive pairing release information between the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20. At this time, the server 30 calculates the difference between the pairing time included in the pairing information and the pairing release time included in the pairing release information, that is, the pairing duration information. Thereby, the administrator can check whether the care work has been appropriately performed by the caregiver by checking the paired time and the paired duration information.

When the caregiver terminal 10 receives the warning from the server 30, the caregiver terminal 10 may notify the caregiver of the warning by either a predetermined alarm or vibration. At this time, a discrepancy between the care start time of the care schedule corresponding to the caregiver ID and the care receiver ID and the paired time included in the pairing information, or a discrepancy between the care end time and the pair included in the pairing cancellation information. The strength of the alarm sound or vibration may be changed depending on the magnitude of the deviation from the time when the ring is released. For example, if there is a large discrepancy between the care start time of the care schedule corresponding to the caregiver ID and care recipient ID and the paired time included in the pairing information, the alarm sound or vibration can be made stronger. . Thereby, the caregiver can immediately grasp delays in his or her own nursing care work.

In addition, within a relatively short period of time after receiving the pairing cancellation information, the server 30 performs pairing that includes the same caregiver ID and lifelogger ID as the caregiver ID and lifelogger ID included in the pairing cancellation information. Information may be received again. For example, if there is a shortage of nursing care supplies, the person goes outside the cared person's room to pick them up, and then re-enters the same caregiver's room with the nursing care supplies. That is, if the time interval from pairing release to re-pairing is within a predetermined range, care work for the same care recipient can be continued. At this time, the end time determination unit 36 of the server 30 determines, for a predetermined time interval, for example, 5 minutes after receiving the pairing cancellation information, that there is a discrepancy between the time when the pairing is canceled and the nursing care end time of the nursing care schedule. It may be set to wait without making a determination. In addition, at this time, the pairing cancellation information and the pairing information again within a predetermined time interval may be deleted from the storage unit 31 of the server 30, or may be deleted by the start time determination unit 34 and end time determination unit 36. It may be set not to be used for determination.

Further, the caregiver terminal 10 may include an abnormal operation detecting section such as an acceleration sensor and an abnormal information transmitting section that transmits abnormal information detected by the abnormal operation detecting section to the server 30. The server 30 may include an abnormality information receiving section that receives abnormality information transmitted from the abnormality information transmitting section of the caregiver terminal 10. If the caregiver terminal 10 moves at a predetermined acceleration, for example, if the caregiver hurriedly supports the care recipient who falls off the bed or falls, an unexpected accident may occur to the care recipient. There is a possibility that The server 30 may notify the caregiver terminal 10 or the administrator terminal 40 of the abnormality information when the abnormality information reception unit receives the abnormality information. Thereby, the cared person can be cared for more appropriately.

The caregiver terminal 10 can also be carried by a person other than the caregiver, such as a visitor to a home care facility, such as a family member of the care recipient. Thereby, the administrator can grasp and manage the position or movement within the home-type care facility even if the person is not a caregiver.

Further, after the caregiver terminal 10 and the lifelogger 20 are paired, it is possible to understand to some extent whether the caregiver is doing such care work depending on the distance between the caregiver terminal 10 and the lifelogger 20. be able to. For example, for meal assistance, the distance between the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 is relatively short, and for cleaning in the living room, the distance between the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 is relatively long. In this way, it is possible to compare the distance between the caregiver terminal 10 and the life logger 20 with the care content of the care schedule shown in FIG. 8, and to understand whether the caregiver is performing care work in accordance with the care schedule. Can be done.

Although the embodiments have been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to caregivers, and can be used in place of caregiver management (schedule management) in facilities such as hospitals. The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
