The input control unit 211 receives target person information (step S101). The storage control unit 212 accumulates the subject information received by the input control unit 211 by storing it in the storage unit 23 (step S102). As described above, the storage control unit 212 stores the subject sleep status information, subject care plan information, and the like in the storage unit 23 as the subject information. Further, the processes of steps S101 and S102 are repeatedly executed, for example, each time the detection unit 10 transmits the subject's sleep status information or the administrator terminal 30 or the like transmits the subject's care plan information. shall be.

Next, for example, when the designation of the target person 70 for whom a report is to be created is input on the administrator terminal 30, the input control unit 211 receives the designation from the administrator terminal 30 (step S103). Note that this step is not executed when creating a report targeting all subjects 70 residing in the facility. In addition, the input control unit 211 may further accept specifications of sleep status items for which a report is to be created, specifications of a user to whom the report is to be provided, and the like.

The acquisition unit 213 acquires target person change information from the stored target person information (step S104). The acquisition unit 213 acquires subject change information, for example, based on the subject care plan information accumulated in the storage unit 23 in step S102. Note that if it is confirmed that there is no change in the subject 70 based on the subject care plan information, the process shown in FIG. 9 may be terminated. Then, based on the subject change information acquired in step S104, the acquisition unit 213 acquires the subject sleep status accumulated in the storage unit 23 as information for a predetermined period including the day when the change occurred in the subject 70. Information is acquired (step S105).

The calculation unit 214 creates a report including the result of visualizing the tendency of the sleep status of the subject 70, that is, a visualization chart, based on the subject sleep status information acquired in step S105 (step S106). Note that the calculation unit 214 once transmits the visualization chart scheduled to be included in the report to the administrator terminal 30, and when it receives a comment to be added to the report from the administrator terminal 30, it adds the comment to the report and finalizes it. You can also create a report.

The output control unit 215 outputs the report created in step S106 (step S107).

As described above, according to the report output program, the sleep status of the target person 70 is calculated based on the information regarding the sleep status of the target person 70 accumulated during a predetermined period including the day when the change occurred in the target person 70. A report containing the results of visualizing trends is output. Thereby, when a change occurs in the subject 70, a report visualizing the tendency of the subject's 70's sleep status before and after the change is output. Therefore, the user to whom the report is provided can easily understand the influence that changes in the subject 70 have had on the sleep status of the subject 70.

Furthermore, the sleep status of the subject 70 includes at least one of the subject 70's bedtime, wake-up time, sleeping time, and number of times the subject 70 leaves the bed. Thereby, the user can check the sleep status of the subject 70 from various viewpoints.

Further, changes in the subject 70 include changes in factors that affect the sleep status of the subject 70. Thereby, the user can easily grasp the influence that a change in a factor that affects the sleep situation of the subject 70 has had on the sleep situation of the subject 70.

Further, changes in factors that affect the sleep status of the subject 70 include changes in at least one of the amount of sleep-inducing agent used, the amount of exercise, nap time, and meal content of the subject 70. This allows the user to inform the subject of changes in the amount of sleep-inducing drugs used that directly affect the sleep status of the subject 70, as well as changes in the amount of exercise, nap time, and meal content that are likely to have some kind of effect. You can easily understand the actual influence on the sleep situation of 70 people. That is, the user can, for example, judge whether or not the use of the sleep-inducing agent was necessary and whether the amount used was appropriate, and improve the sleep of the subject 70 with regard to exercise, napping, and eating. It is possible to judge whether or not an appropriate response has been taken. Therefore, the staff 80, administrator 90, etc. as users can reflect the judgment results in future care plans.

Further, information regarding changes in the subject 70 is acquired based on information regarding a care plan for the subject 70. As a result, even if the period for which the report is to be created is not specified, the period is set based on the change in the care plan, and a report visualizing the sleep status trends of the subject 70 is output.

The configuration of the monitoring system described above is the main configuration described in explaining the features of the above-described embodiment, and is not limited to the above-described configuration, and can be variously modified within the scope of the claims. Moreover, the configuration provided in a general monitoring system is not excluded.

Here, if there are multiple factors that affect the sleep status of the subject 70, the factor for setting the predetermined period is a factor selected by the administrator 90 at the time of outputting the report or in advance. Good too. For example, when the administrator 90 selects "amount of sleep-inducing agent used," the predetermined period may be set based on the date on which there was a change in the amount of sleep-inducing agent used by the subject 70. Furthermore, when the administrator 90 selects "amount of exercise," the predetermined period may be set based on the date when there is a change in the amount of exercise of the subject 70.

Specifically, for example, if there are multiple factors that affect the sleep status of the subject 70, candidates for the factors may be displayed on the display unit 33 of the administrator terminal 30 in a selectable manner. Then, a factor for setting a predetermined period among the candidate factors may be selected by the administrator 90 via the input unit 34 of the administrator terminal 30. In this case, the process shown in FIG. 9 may further include a step of receiving selection of the factor from the administrator terminal 30 at least before step S104. Then, in step S104, information regarding changes in the accepted factors may be acquired as subject change information. As a result, a report is output that visualizes the tendency of the sleep situation of the subject 70 before and after a change in the selected factor among the plurality of factors that influence the sleep situation of the subject 70. Then, the user can easily understand the influence that the change in the factor has had on the sleep situation of the subject 70.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it has been explained that the report is output periodically or irregularly according to instructions, but the report is automatically output when it is determined that there has been a change in the subject 70. It may be output to In this case, the process shown in FIG. 9 may further include a step of determining whether or not there has been a change in the subject 70, at least before step S103. If it is determined that there has been a change in the subject 70, in step S103, it is assumed that the designation of the subject 70 with the change has been accepted, and steps S104 to S107 are performed for the subject 70 with the change. Processing may be performed automatically. As described above, in the case where there are multiple factors that influence the sleep status of the subject 70, the processing in steps S104 to S107 is performed when it is determined that there has been a change in the factor selected by the administrator 90. It may also be executed automatically.

Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, it has been explained that the subject sleep status information includes information regarding the wake-up time measured by the detection unit 10. It may further include information. Then, a report may be output that visualizes the trend of the time from getting up to leaving the bed. Thereby, the user can understand that, for example, if the time is long, the effects of the sleep-inducing drug remain after the subject 70 wakes up, and that the subject 70 has used too much of the sleep-inducing drug.

Further, the functions provided in the server 20 may be provided in the administrator terminal 30 or the detection unit 10.

Further, the detection unit 10, the server 20, the administrator terminal 30, and the staff terminal 40 may each be configured with a plurality of devices, or any of the plurality of devices may be configured as a single device.
