§1 Application Example First, an example of a scene to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an evaluation support system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. An evaluation support system 100 includes an evaluation support device 10 and a server 20 . The evaluation support device 10 and the server 20 are configured to communicate with each other via a communication network N including the Internet and a LAN (Local Area Network).

The evaluation support device 10 is composed of a general-purpose computer and supports evaluation of whether or not the subject can live independently. Here, the target person is, for example, an elderly person, and the evaluation support device 10 may be used by a user such as a caregiver or a care support specialist.

In this specification, a case will be described in which the target person is an elderly person and the evaluation support device 10 assists in evaluating whether the target person can independently perform ADL. However, the evaluation support device 10 may support evaluation of whether or not the subject can independently perform IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living). In addition, the evaluation support device 10 may evaluate the subject using an index other than ADL and IADL as long as it is an item that indicates a person's physical function. In addition, the evaluation support device 10 can be used not only in nursing care facilities but also in homes and fitness clubs to support elderly people. In this specification, the term "independence" means that the subject can operate by himself/herself.

In the present embodiment, the degree of independence is estimated for each item indicating a plurality of physical functions by evaluating the motions performed by the subject relatively few times, and detailed analysis is performed for each item of the estimated degree of independence. It is characterized by changing items to be analyzed simply.

The evaluation support device 10 acquires an evaluation regarding the action performed by the subject. For example, the evaluation support device 10 receives an input of an evaluation by a user such as a caregiver or a nursing care support specialist regarding an action performed by an elderly person, who is a target, using an input unit such as a touch panel, and acquires the input evaluation. do.

The evaluation support device 10 converts the acquired evaluation into a score weighted according to a plurality of items representing a plurality of physical functions. Here, the plurality of items indicating the plurality of physical functions are, for example, the plurality of ADL items. Based on the score, the evaluation support device 10 calculates the degree of independence indicating the degree of independence of the subject with respect to a plurality of items indicating a plurality of physical functions. Here, the degree of independence indicates the possibility that the subject's physical function allows him/her to carry out daily life. The higher the probability that the subject can lead daily life by himself, the higher the degree of independence.

Then, the evaluation support device 10 outputs analysis contents regarding a plurality of items indicating a plurality of physical functions based on the degree of independence. The output analysis content may be displayed on a display unit integrated with or separate from the evaluation support device 10 . Here, the contents of analysis may be simple for items with a relatively high degree of independence, and detailed for items with a relatively low degree of independence. In this way, it is possible to reduce the time required to analyze whether or not the subject can live independently by making a difference in the content of the analysis.

The server 20 collects and stores the evaluation obtained by the evaluation support device 10, the calculated degree of independence, and the output analysis content. The server 20 may collect information from a plurality of evaluation support apparatuses 10, and may construct a database that collects results of evaluation support. Also, the server 20 may replace all or part of the functional units of the evaluation support device 10 .

As described above, according to the evaluation support device 10 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to output the analysis contents of a plurality of items indicating a plurality of physical functions simply by acquiring the evaluation of the motion performed by the subject. It can help the subject to assess whether they can live independently in a shorter period of time.

In this specification, the information about the environment in which the subject operates, the information about the cognitive level of the subject, and the information about the past history of the subject are collectively referred to as subject information 14c. The information about the environment in which the subject operates includes, for example, information about the presence or absence of a step in the passage and the height of the bathtub. Information about the subject's cognitive level includes, for example, information about a diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment or a diagnosis of cognitive impairment. In addition, the information on the subject's medical history includes, for example, information on the name of the disease and the time of onset.

Based on the information about the environment in which the subject operates, the calculation unit 12 determines that when the path along which the subject is walking is not flat and includes relatively large steps, the degree of independence is calculated based on only the score. can be corrected to increase However, based on the information about the environment in which the subject operates, if the path along which the subject is walking is not flat and includes relatively large steps, the calculation unit 12 determines the physical function of the subject to climb over the steps. In order to obtain the Further, based on information about the environment in which the subject operates, if the bathtub used by the subject is relatively high, correction may be made so that the degree of independence is higher than in the case of calculation based only on the score. In this way, by adding the subject information 14c, the degree of independence can be calculated more accurately.

<Output section>
The output unit 13 outputs the contents of analysis on multiple items indicating multiple physical functions based on the degree of independence. The output analysis content may be displayed on the display unit 10f, or may be transmitted to an external device via the communication network N. The output unit 13 may output items for detailed analysis and items for simple analysis among the plurality of items. More specifically, the output unit 13 may output items for which the degree of independence is less than the threshold as items for detailed analysis, and may output items for which the degree of independence is equal to or greater than the threshold as items for simple analysis. In this way, by outputting the items for detailed analysis, the time required for analysis can be shortened by outputting the items for simple analysis while supporting the appropriate evaluation of whether or not the subject can live independently. can do.

The output unit 13 may output a question to be asked to the subject about the item to be analyzed in detail and a question to be asked to the subject about the item to be briefly analyzed. Here, the number of questions to be asked to the subject about the items to be analyzed in detail may be larger than the number of questions to be asked to the subject about the items to be briefly analyzed. Further, the question asked to the subject about the item to be analyzed in detail may be a question for narrowing down the subject related to the physical function related to the detailed analysis. The question asked to the subject about the item for simple analysis may be a question for confirming that there is no particular problem with the physical function related to the simple analysis. In this way, appropriate questions can be determined for each of the items for simple analysis and the items for detailed analysis, and it becomes possible to more efficiently evaluate whether or not the subject can live independently.

[Hardware configuration]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the physical configuration of the evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment. The evaluation support device 10 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 10a equivalent to a calculation unit, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 10b equivalent to a storage unit, a ROM (Read only memory) 10c equivalent to a storage unit, and a communication unit. 10d, an input unit 10e, and a display unit 10f. These components are connected to each other via a bus so that data can be sent and received. In this example, the case where the evaluation support device 10 is composed of one computer will be described, but the evaluation support device 10 may be realized by combining a plurality of computers. Also, the configuration shown in FIG. 3 is an example, and the evaluation support apparatus 10 may have configurations other than these, or may not have some of these configurations.

The CPU 10a is a control unit that controls the execution of programs stored in the RAM 10b or ROM 10c and performs data calculation and processing. The CPU 10a is a computing unit that calculates a subject's degree of independence and executes a program (evaluation support program) for determining analysis content. The CPU 10a receives various data from the input section 10e and the communication section 10d, and displays the calculation results of the data on the display section 10f and stores them in the RAM 10b.

The RAM 10b is a rewritable part of the storage unit, and may be composed of, for example, a semiconductor memory element. The RAM 10b stores programs executed by the CPU 10a, scores used to calculate the degree of independence, information on past improvement results, information on the environment in which the subject operates, information on the cognitive level of the subject, information on the past history of the subject, and the like. You can remember. Note that these are examples, and the RAM 10b may store data other than these, or may not store some of them.

The ROM 10c is one of the storage units from which data can be read, and may be composed of, for example, a semiconductor memory element. The ROM 10c may store data that is not rewritten, such as an evaluation support program.

The communication unit 10d is an interface that connects the evaluation support device 10 to other devices. The communication unit 10d may be connected to a communication network N such as the Internet.

The input unit 10e receives data input from the user, and may include, for example, a touch panel or a keyboard.

The display unit 10f visually displays the calculation result by the CPU 10a, and may be configured by, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The display unit 10f may display, for example, the degree of independence of the subject regarding items indicating a plurality of physical functions.

The evaluation support program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium such as the RAM 10b and the ROM 10c and provided, or may be provided via a communication network connected by the communication unit 10d. In the evaluation support device 10, the CPU 10a executes the evaluation support program, thereby realizing the operations of the acquisition unit 11, the calculation unit 12, the output unit 13, etc. described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that these physical configurations are examples, and do not necessarily have to be independent configurations. For example, the evaluation support device 10 may include an LSI (Large-Scale Integration) in which the CPU 10a and the RAM 10b and ROM 10c are integrated.

§3 Operation Example FIG. 4 is an example of the first screen displayed on the evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment. The first screen example is displayed on the display section 10f. An input unit 10e configured by a touch panel is provided over the display unit 10f. Note that the first screen example may be displayed on a display unit separate from the evaluation support device 10 .

The first screen example is a screen example titled "ADL prediction result by basic movement check", and includes "1. Indoor walking", "2. Outdoor walking", "3. Excretion", "4. Eating", This is an example of a screen for displaying a list of degrees of independence for six ADLs of "5. bathing" and "6. changing clothes." The six ADL items shown in this example are examples of multiple items representing multiple physical functions. Note that this screen example is an example showing a state before the calculation of the degree of independence, and the degree of independence is not displayed for each item.

The first screen example includes a first icon D10 labeled "to basic operation check" and a second icon D20 labeled "detailed analysis". When the first icon D10 is tapped, the screen transitions to the second screen example shown in the next figure. Also, when the second icon D20 is tapped, the screen transitions to a screen for detailed analysis of each item.

Note that when the icon labeled "to IADL analysis" is tapped, the screen transitions to a screen that displays the degree of independence related to a plurality of IADL items, as in the case of the ADL shown in the first screen example.

FIG. 5 is an example of a second screen displayed on the evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment. The second screen example is an example of a screen displayed when the first icon D10 is tapped on the first screen example. Note that the second screen example may be displayed on a display unit separate from the evaluation support device 10 .

The second screen example includes a plurality of elementary actions D11, a check item D12, and a score D13. The plurality of element actions D11 have a predetermined order, and in this example, include "one leg standing", "sitting position", "stand-up action", "standing position", and "walking direction change". Note that the plurality of element actions D11 in this example are those whose order is determined, but in general, the plurality of element actions may be those whose order is not determined. For example, the plurality of component motions may include component motions that can be performed in any order, such as a motion that tests upper body function, a motion that tests lower body function, and a motion that tests left-right balance of the body.

The acquisition unit 11 of the evaluation support device 10 may acquire evaluations of a plurality of elemental actions in the order of the elemental actions. In the case of this example, the acquisition unit 11 first acquires the evaluation of the element motion of “standing on one leg”. The evaluation is performed by asking the subject to perform the element action of "standing on one leg", and observing the result, the user selects the closest option from the check items D12. In this example, "5 to 10 seconds" is selected from the check items D12 as the evaluation of the element action of "standing on one leg".

Note that the evaluation support device 10 may acquire motion information in which the subject performs an elemental motion, and estimate an evaluation of the elemental motion based on the motion information. Here, the motion information may be a moving image in which the subject performs an elemental motion, or may be a motion sensor value. The evaluation support device 10 compares, for example, information indicating the movement of the skeleton of the subject obtained from the motion sensor with information indicating normal movement of the skeleton when a healthy person executes each step. , may calculate the evaluation for the element motion.

Each time an evaluation is obtained, the calculation unit 12 of the evaluation support device 10 converts the evaluation into a score weighted according to a plurality of items representing a plurality of physical functions, and based on the score, calculates a score for the plurality of items. A degree of independence may be calculated that indicates the subject's degree of independence with respect to. In this example, the evaluation of ``5 to 10 seconds'' for the element action of ``standing on one leg'' is converted into a score of ``30 pt.'' is converted to a score of "30 pt.", and the item indicating the physical function of "excretion" is converted to a score of "30 pt." In this case, the scores weighted according to the plurality of items indicating the plurality of physical functions are the same. That is, the weights are equal. The calculation unit 12 may calculate the degree of independence at the time when such an evaluation is performed, based on the score of each item. Specifically, the calculation unit 12 calculates the degree of independence for the item indicating the physical function “walking outdoors” as 30, calculates the degree of independence regarding the item indicating the physical function “bathing” as 30, and calculates the degree of independence for the item indicating the physical function “bathing” as 30. 30 may be calculated as the degree of independence related to the item indicating the physical function.

Each time an evaluation for an elemental action is obtained, the calculation unit 12 may add the score obtained by converting the evaluation to the score obtained so far to update the score as the latest score. In this manner, the calculation unit 12 may calculate the degree of independence for each item by summing the scores for a plurality of elemental actions.

In the case of this example, the evaluation of "stand-up motion" is "no assistance required", and the evaluation of "no assistance required" is converted into a score of "0 pt." The item indicating the physical function "bathing" is converted into a score of "10 pt.", and the item indicating the physical function "excretion" is converted into a score of "5 pt.". In this case, scores weighted according to multiple items indicating multiple physical functions are different. That is, the weighting is different. The calculation unit 12 does not change the degree of independence related to the item indicating the physical function "walking outdoors", updates the degree of independence related to the item indicating the physical function "bathing" by adding 10, and updates the degree of independence related to the item indicating the physical function "excretion". 5 is added to the degree of independence related to the item indicating and updated.

The acquisition unit 11 may omit the acquisition of the evaluation when the degree of independence is equal to or greater than the threshold. For example, if the degree of independence for all physical functions exceeds the threshold during the evaluation of multiple elemental movements, it is expected that there will be no problems with all physical functions even if the evaluation of the elemental movements is not continued. is obtained. In such cases, the evaluation can be skipped, allowing the subject to obtain a more rapid prospect of being able to live independently.

FIG. 6 is an example of a third screen displayed on the evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment. Note that the third screen example may be displayed on a display unit separate from the evaluation support device 10 .

The third screen example is a screen example titled "ADL prediction result by basic movement check", and includes "1. Indoor walking", "2. Outdoor walking", "3. Excretion", "4. Eating", This is an example of a screen for displaying a list of degrees of independence for six ADLs of "5. bathing" and "6. changing clothes." This screen example is an example showing a state after the calculation of the independence degree in the second screen example, and the independence degree D22 is displayed for each item.

For example, the degree of independence D22 for the item "1. Indoor walking" is 30 or more and less than 50, which is better than "limited independence (can be done in limited circumstances)", but "universal independence (anywhere It is in a worse state than "I can do it". Further, for example, the degree of independence D22 regarding the item "5. Bathing" is 15 or more and less than 30, which is better than "Partial care (impossible than before)", but "Limited independence (limited It is in a worse state than ”. If the degree of independence D22 is less than 15, it indicates that the state is between "full assistance (impossible)" and "partial assistance (impossible than before)".

In the third screen example, an item for detailed analysis and an item for simple analysis are displayed for a plurality of items indicating physical function. In this example, the items to be analyzed in detail are the items whose degree of independence D22 is less than 50, and the items to be briefly analyzed are the items whose degree of independence D22 is 50 or more. Specifically, the items "1. Indoor walking", "2. Outdoor walking", and "5. Bathing" are the items to be analyzed in detail, and the second icon D20 for transitioning to the screen for detailed analysis is displayed. ing. Also, the items "3. Excretion", "4. Meal" and "6. Dressing" are items for simple analysis, and a third icon D21 for transitioning to the fourth screen example for simple analysis is displayed. .

FIG. 7 is an example of a fourth screen displayed on the evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment. The fourth screen example is an example of a screen displayed when the third icon D21 is tapped on the third screen example. Note that the fourth screen example may be displayed on a display unit separate from the evaluation support device 10 .

The fourth screen example is a screen example titled "Confirmation of ADL status of 'Excretion'", and displays an ADL independence degree D22 of "3. Excretion" and a question D23 to be asked to the subject. In the box for question D23, "prediction result by basic movement check" is "It was determined that there is a high possibility of being in a universally independent state. Please make a final confirmation and confirmation by asking the following questions." As an example question, "Example 1) Can you use the toilet without any problems?"
"Example 2) The toilet may be a failure," is shown. The user, such as a caregiver or a care support specialist, asks the subject a question referring to such question examples, and finally confirms whether or not the subject is in a universally independent state regarding the ADL "3. Excretion". conduct.

As a result of the question, if it is confirmed that the subject is in a state of universal independence, tap the icon of "Confirm ADL" to confirm the analysis result regarding "3. Excretion". On the other hand, if you are not sure whether you are in a universal independent state or not, tap the “task analysis” icon to transition to a screen for detailed analysis, and “3. Identify training content for

FIG. 8 is an example of a fifth screen displayed on the evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment. The fifth screen example is an example of a screen displayed when analysis of all six ADL items is completed. Note that the fifth screen example may be displayed on a display unit separate from the evaluation support device 10 .

The evaluation support device 10 outputs examples of questions and tests for specifying issues related to physical functions for items to be analyzed in detail, and furthermore, questions and examples of tests for specifying training content for improving the issues. Print an example. A user, such as a caregiver or a care support specialist, conducts interviews with the subject according to these questions and test examples, and identifies issues related to physical function and training content for improving the issues.

The output unit 13 of the evaluation support device 10 outputs, for the item to be analyzed in detail, a problem related to physical function and training content for improving the problem. In this screen example, for the items "1. Walking indoors", "2. Walking outdoors", "5. Bathing" and "6. It is In this screen example, the training content D32 is titled "approach".

In the case of this example, for the item "1. Indoor walking", the task is "impaired walking on steps due to weakened leg muscles", and the training content for solving the task is "leg training". In this way, it is possible for the subject and the assistant to easily grasp what kind of training should be performed in order to improve the physical function.

The output unit 13 of the evaluation support device 10 outputs a predicted improvement in the degree of independence that is expected when the training content is executed for the items to be analyzed in detail. In this screen example, improvement predictions D30 are shown for the items "1. Walking indoors", "2. Walking outdoors", "5. Bathing" and "6. Changing clothes". The evaluation support device 10 predicts an improvement in the degree of independence based on an improvement result 14b that indicates how much the degree of independence has improved when a person who has the same or similar task as the subject executes the training content. can be calculated.

In this example, for the item "1. Indoor walking", the degree of independence was 30 or more and less than 50, but according to the improvement prediction, it is expected that the degree of independence will be improved to 50 or more by conducting training. It is shown. In addition, regarding the item "5. Bathing", the degree of independence was 15 or more and less than 30, but according to the improvement prediction, it is expected that the degree of independence will be partially improved to 30 or more and less than 50 by conducting training.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of analysis processing executed by the evaluation support device 10 according to this embodiment. FIG. 10 shows the details of the process S14 shown in FIG.

First, when the degree of independence of the item indicating the physical function related to the analysis is equal to or greater than the threshold (S141: YES), the evaluation support device 10 displays a simple question (S142). Then, if there is no change in the evaluation (S143: YES), the analysis process is terminated. On the other hand, if there is a change in the evaluation (S143: NO), the evaluation support device 10 corrects the degree of independence (S144). More specifically, the evaluation support device 10 converts the updated evaluation into a score, and recalculates the degree of independence based on the score. Then, referring to the corrected independence degree, the process S141 and subsequent steps are executed again.

On the other hand, when the degree of independence of the item indicating the physical function related to the analysis is less than the threshold (S141: NO), the evaluation support device 10 executes detailed analysis (S145). After that, the evaluation support device 10 identifies the problem related to the physical function to be analyzed and the training content for improving the problem (S146). With the above, the analysis processing ends.
