In particular, the present invention relates to a system for caring for a subject, a method for controlling the system, a computer-readable recording medium recording a control program, and an information manager terminal .

In Japan, the extension of life is remarkable due to the improvement of living standards, the improvement of sanitary environment, and the improvement of medical standards accompanying the post-war high economic growth. For this reason, an aging society with a high aging rate is being combined with a decrease in the birth rate. In such an aging society, it is expected that the number of persons requiring care will increase due to illness, injury, and aging.

A care recipient or the like may fall down while walking or fall from a bed and get injured in a facility such as a hospital or a welfare facility for the elderly. Therefore, a system for detecting the condition of the care recipient is being developed so that the nurse or the caregiver can rush immediately when the care recipient or the like enters such a state.

In the nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1 as such a system, it is determined whether or not the patient wakes up or leaves the bed based on a video image captured by a camera installed on the bed of the patient. When the user wakes up or leaves the floor, the video captured by the camera is displayed on the nurse call master unit provided in the nurse station.

JP, 2014-90913, A

However, in the nurse call system disclosed in Patent Document 1, even if a specific patient wakes up or leaves the bed, a caregiver or a nurse (hereinafter referred to as “care staff”) is uniformly notified. .. On the other hand, in a facility such as a hospital or a welfare facility for the aged, when a patient has a problem, there is a high possibility that the care staff will take responsibility, and the care staff is always under heavy pressure. Therefore, if the notification is uniformly given to all the care staff, unnecessary notification is given to the care staff other than the care staff who should deal with the patient under such a heavy pressure. Every time a care staff receives an unnecessary notification, he/she is disturbed from his/her work, or the content of the notification is checked to determine whether or not he/she should deal with the patient. Resulting in. In addition, when the movement of the patient is erroneously detected or when the patient is not required to be dealt with, unnecessary notification is given, which causes a problem that the care staff is overloaded.

In particular, notifications from each target person may or may not need to be dealt with, and as a result of all notifications reaching all staff terminals, there is a lot of unnecessary information when viewed by individual staff members, which is important. There is a risk of missing information. In addition, even in the case of the same type of notification, in the case of an elderly person who needs care, the physical function and cognitive function differ greatly for each resident, so the notified status also varies. As a result, whether or not a response (care) is necessary, and what kind of care is required even if it is required, differs depending on the case. It is difficult to accurately judge and respond to them with only limited information from the sensor. On the other hand, care itself is a one-on-one task, and there is a high possibility that the person who responds when something occurs will be responsible, and the staff receives many notifications and responds while being constantly exposed to the pressure. It will be a great mental and physical burden.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system, a system control method, a computer-readable recording medium in which a control program is recorded, and an information manager terminal, which can prevent the load on the care staff due to unnecessary notification. is there.

For example, when a care call event related to the care target person 70 occurs, the information manager terminal 30 displays the number of occurrences of the care call event within a predetermined period as information on the characteristics of the care target person 70. Thereby, the information administrator terminal 30 can display whether or not the care target person 70 has a personality to easily call the care staff 80. Then, when the number of times of occurrence of the event is large, the information manager terminal 30 informs that the event of the care call is not a rare event for the care target person 70 and the possibility that the care target person 70 needs the care is low. The administrator 90 can be urged. On the other hand, when the number of times of occurrence of the event is small, the information manager terminal 30 can prompt the information manager 90 to judge that the event of the care call is a rare event for the care target person 70, and the possibility is high.

Similarly, for example, when an event such as getting up, leaving the bed, or falling about the care target person 70 occurs, the information manager terminal 30 indicates the number of event occurrences such as getting up, leaving the bed, or falling within a predetermined period. You may display as the information of the characteristic of 70. The information manager terminal 30 can display whether or not the activity level of the care target person 70 is high, for example, by displaying the information on the number of times of leaving the bed event within a predetermined period. When the number of times of occurrence of the event is large, the information manager terminal 30 is not an event in which the care-requiring person 70 having a high activity has a bed leaving event, and the possibility that the care-requiring person 70 needs the care is low. It is possible to urge the information manager 90 to make a decision. On the other hand, when the number of times of occurrence of the event is small, the information manager terminal 30 urges the information manager 90 to determine that the event of leaving the bed is rare for the care-requiring person 70 having a low activity level, and the possibility is high. be able to.

Alternatively, the information manager terminal 30 displays information on the number of times of occurrence of a plurality of events such as a care call, getting up, leaving the bed, and falling, thereby comprehensively determining whether or not the care target person 70 is highly likely to need care. The information manager 90 may be prompted to make a physical decision. The information manager 90, for example, when the number of times of leaving the bed event regarding the care target person 70 is large and the number of times of the event of falling is small, the care target person 70 performs normal behavior with high activity and independence. Therefore, it may be determined that there is a low possibility that care is needed.

Then, the information manager terminal 30 receives the instruction regarding the care input from the information manager 90 via the input unit 34 (step S106).

The information administrator terminal 30 instructs the care on the selection screen 333 as to whether or not to instruct the care staff 80 to care for the care target person 70 and the selection of the care staff 80 who cares for the care target person 70. Is received from the information manager 90. The information administrator terminal 30 receives, for example, selection (depression) of each soft key on the selection screen 333 performed via the input unit 34 as an instruction regarding care.

As described above, the information manager 90 can determine whether or not there is a high possibility that the care recipient 70 actually needs care based on the information displayed in step S105. In this case, the information administrator terminal 30 can accept the selection not to instruct the care from the information administrator 90 who determines that the possibility is low. Alternatively, the information administrator terminal 30 may accept a selection from the information administrator 90 who determines that the possibility is low to instruct the new care staff 80 to perform care. On the other hand, the information manager terminal 30 changes from the information manager 90 who determines that the possibility is high to the veteran care staff 80 and the care staff 80 who is accustomed to the care of the care target person 70 who has caused the event. It is possible to accept the selection to instruct the care.

Further, when the information manager 90 is in the same facility as the care target person 70, the information manager terminal 30 may accept a selection from the information manager 90 that the information manager 90 himself/herself corresponds to the care. ..

In addition, when the information manager 90 cannot determine whether or not there is a high possibility that the care target person 70 actually needs care, the information manager terminal 30 gives an instruction to talk with the care target person 70. It may be possible to accept from the information manager 90. When the information manager terminal 30 receives the instruction, the information manager 90 and the care target person 70 via the voice input/output unit 15 of the detection unit 10, the voice input/output unit 45 of the information manager terminal 30, and the like. You may have a conversation. Then, the information manager terminal 30 may accept an instruction based on the content of the conversation from the information manager 90.

In the selection screen 333, the information manager terminal 30 may first cause the information manager 90 to select whether or not to instruct the care of the care target person 70. Then, the information administrator terminal 30 may display the selection screen of the care staff 80 only when the information administrator 90 receives a selection to instruct the care. Alternatively, the information manager terminal 30 does not have to cause the information manager 90 to select whether or not to instruct the care of the care target person 70 on the selection screen 333, and presupposes that the care staff 80 is instructed. You may display only the selection screen of the care staff 80. Furthermore, the information manager terminal 30 may terminate the display of the detection information display screen 331, the care-subject person information display screen 332, and the selection screen 333 after receiving the instruction regarding the care.

Then, the information manager terminal 30 transmits the instruction accepted in step S106 to the management server 20 (step S107).

The management server 20 confirms the instruction received from the information manager terminal 30 (step S108). Then, when the information administrator terminal 30 has accepted the selection to instruct the care staff 80 to perform the care, the management server 20 transmits the instruction to the care staff terminal 40 carried by the selected care staff 80. Yes (step S109). If the information administrator terminal 30 has not received the selection to instruct the care staff 80 to perform the care, the watching system 1 may end the process as it is.

Note that the care staff terminal 40 may receive the instruction directly from the information manager terminal 30 instead of receiving the instruction from the management server 20 in step S109. That is, the information manager terminal 30 may transmit an instruction to both the management server 20 and the care staff terminal 40 in step S107.

Subsequently, the care staff terminal 40 carried by the selected care staff 80 displays the received instruction on the display unit 43 (step S110). Accordingly, the care staff 80 can confirm that the care staff 80 has selected the information manager 90 as the care staff 80 for caring for the care target person 70. Then, the watching system 1 ends the process.

As described above, in the watching system 1, when the predetermined event regarding the care target person 70 occurs, the information regarding the output of the detection unit 10 is transmitted to the information manager terminal 30. Then, the information manager terminal 30 displays the information on the output of the detection unit 10 and receives an instruction from the information manager 90 on the care of the care target person 70 who has caused the event. Therefore, the watching system 1 does not need to uniformly notify the entire care staff 80 by notifying the information manager 90 when a predetermined event regarding the care target person 70 occurs. As a result, the watching system 1 can prevent the load of the care staff 80 from being generated due to unnecessary notification.

Further, the watching system 1 displays a screen (function) for allowing the information manager 90 to select whether to instruct the care staff 80 to care for the care target person 70. Therefore, the watching system 1 does not instruct the care staff 80 to care for the care target person 70, for example, when the information manager 90 determines that the care target person 70 is unlikely to actually need the care. I'm done. As a result, the watching system 1 can prevent the load of the care staff 80 from being generated due to unnecessary notification.

Further, the watching system 1 displays a screen (function) for allowing the information manager 90 to select the care staff 80 who cares the care target person 70. Therefore, the watching system 1 can cause the information manager 90 to select the care staff 80 who cares the care target person 70 who has caused the event.

Further, in the watching system 1, when the information manager terminal 30 accepts the selection of the care staff 80, only the care staff terminal 40 carried by the selected care staff 80 receives the instruction. As a result, the monitoring system 1 does not need to notify the care staff 80 other than the selected care staff 80 at all, and can prevent the care staff 80 from being overloaded due to unnecessary notification.

In addition, in the watching system 1, when a predetermined event regarding the care target person 70 occurs, the care target person information is transmitted to the information manager terminal 30, and the information manager terminal 30 displays the care target person information. Thereby, the watching system 1 can prompt the information manager 90 to give an instruction based on the care target person information.

In addition, in the watching system 1, the care target person information includes information on the number of event occurrences regarding the care target person 70 within a predetermined period. Thereby, the watching system 1 can prompt the information manager 90 to give an instruction based on the information on the number of event occurrences.

The watching system 1 also displays information on the number of event occurrences in a graph. Thereby, the watching system 1 can display the transition of the number of event occurrences to the information manager 90 so that it can be easily visually recognized.

Further, the watching system 1 displays the information about the output of the detection unit 10 as real-time information, and at the same time, displays the care target person information as history information. Thereby, the watching system 1 can prompt the information manager 90 to give an instruction based on both the real-time information and the history information.

Further, the watching system 1 detects a care call by the care target person 70 as the movement of the care target person 70. Thereby, the watching system 1 can display the care target person information to the information manager 90 even when a normal care call is detected.

In particular, when the care target person 70 is an elderly person who needs care, the physical function and the cognitive function are largely different for each care target person 70. In such a situation, even if the type of the event notified by the detection unit 10 is the same, whether the care is necessary or not is determined in consideration of the situation of the care target person 70. There is a need. Under such a situation, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment and deal with only the limited information from the detection unit 10, that is, the information on the type of event, and even for an event that is not actually necessary, The support of the care staff 80 was required.

In addition, the care staff 80 who provides nursing care also has different skills and experiences (years of work experience), and often changes jobs. Even veterans need time to get used to the new workplace and environment. Furthermore, physical strength and energy (mind) change depending on the elapsed time from the day of work. In such a situation, the care staff 80 itself processed the uniform notification (response request) accompanying the occurrence of the event by his own judgment. Under such a situation, there is a possibility that the treatment may vary or may be omitted depending on the situation such as the skill of the individual care staff 80.

In the present embodiment, in view of such a situation, by displaying the care-subject person information on the information administrator terminal 30, the information administrator 90 can make an appropriate determination, and the correspondence variation or omission in care support can be prevented. It can be prevented from occurring.

The configuration of the watching system 1 described above is a main configuration in describing the features of the above-described embodiment, and is not limited to the above-described configuration, and various modifications may be made within the scope of the claims. it can. Moreover, the structure with which a general watching system is equipped is not excluded.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case has been described as an example where the care-subject person information includes information on the number of event occurrences regarding the care-subject person 70 within a predetermined period. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this. The care target person information may include, for example, information on the average value or the total value of the number of event occurrences within a predetermined period. Further, the care target person information may include information on the number of times the care target person 70 is actually cared (hereinafter referred to as “the number of times of care”) within a predetermined period.

The information administrator terminal 30 displays the number of event occurrences and the number of times of care as the information of the characteristics of the care target person 70 to determine whether or not the care target person 70 actually needs the care. The information manager 90 may be urged. For example, when the number of times of care with respect to the number of event occurrences is small (that is, the ratio of the number of care times with respect to the number of event occurrences is small), the information manager terminal 30 prompts the information manager 90 to determine that the possibility is low. it can. If the number of times of care with respect to the number of times of occurrence of events is small, there is a possibility that the event has been erroneously determined (that is, there is a possibility of false alarm), or the care target person 70 who does not need care can easily press the switch of the care call. This is because there is a high possibility that On the other hand, the information manager terminal 30 can prompt the information manager 90 to determine that the possibility is high when the number of cares for the number of event occurrences is large. The information administrator terminal 30 may display only the information on the number of times of care without displaying the information on the number of times of event occurrence. Further, the information administrator terminal 30 may display the information on the number of times of care by at least one of a numerical value and a graph, like the information on the number of times of event occurrence. By displaying the information on the number of times of care, the watching system 1 can prompt the information manager 90 to give a more appropriate instruction regarding care.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where one care-target person 70 causes an event has been described as an example. However, the processing of the watching system 1 may be applied when a plurality of care target persons 70 simultaneously generate an event. The watching system 1 determines the priority of each care of the plurality of care subjects 70 based on, for example, the importance or urgency of the event generated by each of the plurality of care subjects 70. You may urge the information manager 90.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of the screen displayed on the information administrator terminal.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, the detection information display screen 331 includes, for example, information about the output of the detection unit 10 including the names, room numbers, types of events that occurred, and events of each of the plurality of detected care recipients 70. Display at least one piece of information, such as the time of occurrence. Then, the care target person information display screen 332 displays, for example, information on the number of event occurrences for each of the plurality of care target persons 70 within a predetermined period. As shown in FIG. 9, the care target person information display screen 332 may display only the information on the number of event occurrences regarding the event generated by each of the plurality of care target persons 70, or includes the event. Information on the number of event occurrences regarding a plurality of events may be displayed. In addition, the information manager terminal 30 accepts the selection of each of the plurality of care target persons 70 on the care target person information display screen 332, and then gives an instruction regarding the care of the selected care target person 70 on the selection screen 333. You may accept.

The information manager terminal 30 may prompt the information manager 90 to give an instruction regarding the care of the plurality of care targets 70 by causing the information manager 90 to compare the number of event occurrences for each of the plurality of care targets 70. .. In the information manager terminal 30, for example, the care target person 70 having a smaller number of event occurrences is more likely to need the care than the care target person 70 having a large number of event occurrences within a predetermined period. The information manager 90 may be prompted to make a decision. Then, the information manager terminal 30 gives an instruction to give priority to the care of the care target person 70 who is more likely to need the care in terms of time or to preferentially assign the care to the veteran care staff 80. , May be received from the information manager 90.

Alternatively, the information manager terminal 30 prompts the information manager 90 to give an instruction regarding the care of the plurality of care subjects 70 by causing the information manager 90 to compare the types of events relating to each of the plurality of care subjects 70. Good. In the information manager terminal 30, for example, the care target person 70 who has generated the care call event is more likely to need the care than the care target person 70 who frequently generates the bed leaving event. The information manager 90 may be prompted to make a decision. This is because the event of leaving the bed is likely to be a rare event for the care recipient 70 having a high activity level. In this way, the information manager terminal 30 can receive, from the information manager 90, an instruction to give priority to the care of the care target person 70 having a higher importance or urgency.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the information administrator terminal 30 displays the screen including the information received from the management server 20 at the time of step S105, accepts the instruction regarding the care, and then ends the display of the screen. I explained. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this. The information manager terminal 30 constantly displays, for example, the care target person information and the login information of the care staff 80 as real-time information, and when the information indicating that an event has occurred is received from the management server 20, the information is displayed. You may display in another window etc.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the management server 20 of the watching system 1 functions as the determination unit and the database 23 functions as the storage unit, but the management server 20 and the database 23 may be omitted. In this case, the information administrator terminal 30 or any of the detection units 10 may function as a determination unit or a storage unit.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the database 23 includes the situation (age, physical function, cognitive function index) of the care target person 70, the skill of the care staff 80, experience value (years of work experience, years of work experience), duty. You may make it memorize|store the elapsed time (time from shift duty), and display this on the information manager terminal 30. This allows the information manager 90 to more appropriately determine the response to the event and appropriately instruct the care staff 80.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the detection unit 10, the management server 20, the information manager terminal 30, and the care staff terminal 40 have been described as one device. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, for each configuration, an information processing device that performs various determination processes and a device that performs other processes may be configured separately. In this case, the information processing device and the device that executes other processing are connected by wire or wirelessly.

Further, the processing in the watching system 1 according to the above-described embodiment may include steps other than the steps in the above-described flowchart, or may not include some of the steps described above. Further, the order of steps is not limited to the above embodiment. Further, each step may be combined with other steps and executed as one step, may be included and executed in another step, or may be divided into a plurality of steps and executed.

The means and method for performing various processes in the watching system 1 according to the above-described embodiment can be realized by either a dedicated hardware circuit or a programmed computer. The program may be provided by a computer-readable recording medium such as a USB memory or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc)-ROM, or may be provided online via a network such as the Internet.
