System for providing group-based contents for prevention and diagnosis of dementia and method thereof

The disclosed content relates to a system and method for providing training contents for improving brain function of a patient with dementia, and relates to a technique in which a lecturer and a patient are configured in a one-to-many manner.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, the content described in this section is not prior art to the claims of this application and is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.

In Korea, the elderly population is steadily increasing due to the low birth rate and aging population. As the birth rate and mortality rate of newborns have decreased and the average life expectancy has been extended, the proportion of the elderly population has increased. In 1960, the average life expectancy of the citizens was 52.4 years old, and in 1995 it was 73.5 years old, and the life span of 35 years was extended by 21 years, and by 2030 it will be extended to 79 years old (Statistics, 2010). . This prolonged life expectancy is rapidly increasing the share of the elderly.

Dementia is one of the common diseases that occurs in elderly people living in this aging society. As the social burden due to aging continues to increase, the management problem of the demented elderly, who are highly dependent on family and society, has become a more serious social problem due to the weakening of the family support function due to nuclear family.

Dementia is a typical neuropsychiatric disorder that occurs in the brain. Once a mature brain is damaged or destroyed by acquired trauma or disease, it is a complex abnormal syndrome in which cognitive and advanced mental functions such as intelligence, learning, and language decline. .

The causes of dementia include Alzheimer's disease, cerebral arteriosclerosis, and other vascular dementia caused by cerebrovascular disorders. In addition, Picks disease, Creutzfeld-jacobs disease, Huntintons disease, There are Parkinson's disease, and dementia can also occur in head trauma and chronic alcoholism.

As a test to diagnose dementia, there are ADAS-cog, MMSE, SDQ, K-DRS, etc., which evaluate cognitive aspects. NPI-Q for neuropsychiatric behavior test, CDR or GDS for daily life performance evaluation, life GQOL-D for quality assessment and GDS for depression in the elderly. The results of the above tests are combined to diagnose dementia and grade by clinical judgment by a specialist.

In addition to these diagnostic methods, a number of systems have been developed to diagnose and prevent dementia of a user by providing a number of contents capable of testing cognitive ability.

Regarding a system for preventing such dementia and improving brain function, in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1295187, the brain function enhancement content that subdivides and stores the content for determining the degree of human brain function activation into multiple classification areas and levels Storage unit, content selection unit that selects content stored in the brain function-enhancing content storage unit for each area according to a predetermined classification method in consideration of a user's state, and feedback provided by the user about the content selected by the content selection unit Achievement determination unit that gives a user's achievement according to the number of acquisition points according to the user, and when the user delivers continuous correct or incorrect feedback over a predetermined number of times to the selected content, the content selection unit adjusts the level and controls to select It includes a content change control unit, the content selection unit And in terms of the score by the weighting for each group content level, and a brain function improving system for the prevention of dementia, which is the sum of the score reflects the weights perform the function of selecting the content to a certain post in each region.

However, the brain function improvement system disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1295187 is that the patient himself / herself has to operate the system to actively take action, and there is a problem that accessibility is poor for dementia patients with cognitive and mobility difficulties. . In addition, since the brain function enhancement system is provided through a single terminal, there is a problem that a nursing home caregiver or a dementia prevention learning instructor has insufficient manpower to deal with the patient one-to-one.

If it is a patient, information about the patient's dementia grade may be further included.

The content storage unit 12 may include memory content, execution capability content, spatiotemporal capability content, attention concentration content, sound perception capability content, and computation capability content. It may also include content that fuses each content. For example, it can be composed of memory content to remember things, executive ability content to find things, sound cognitive content to fit sounds, attention-focused content to put things in place, and computational content to calculate things. It may also include content on how to find a road that fuses attention, match a shape that combines space-time and executive abilities, and open a door lock that fuses attention and memory.

In addition, the contents may be classified and stored in one or more grades according to the difficulty, in addition to being classified by type. Since each content can have different difficulty levels depending on the composition of the problem, it is desirable to classify it into three or more grades.

The user identification unit 13 may classify the terminal 20 into a patient terminal 22 and an instructor terminal 21 according to the user's status information of the terminal 20. As described above, the user's status information may include personal information, and may include information on whether a patient, a guardian, or an instructor, thereby distinguishing the patient terminal 22 from the instructor terminal 21, or as described above. The terminal 20 can be divided into a patient terminal 22 and an instructor terminal 21 by itself, or the server 10 receives a user ID from the terminal 20 and the server 10 receives the patient terminal 22 and the instructor terminal 21 ).

The matching unit 14 may match a plurality of patient terminals 22 having the same dementia grade as the instructor terminal 21. The main purpose according to an embodiment of the present invention is to provide dementia prevention and diagnostic content to a large number of patients under the initiative of a single instructor, so it is preferable to match patients with the same dementia grade in order to enhance the effect of the content. However, since it is difficult to uniformly arrange the number of patients according to the level of dementia, it is possible to match patients with similar dementia grades as well as patients with similar dementia grades. For example, if the dementia grades are divided into 1 to 10 grades, patients with dementia grades 1 to 3 can be matched as one group, and patients with grades 7 to 10 can be matched as one group. have.

The user evaluation unit 15 may evaluate the patient's feedback corresponding to the content provided to the patient terminal 22. As an evaluation method, it is judged through the problem solving time and the correct answer rate that the patient took to solve the content, but it can be evaluated by comparing with the average value of the correct answer rate and the problem solving time of other patients. The evaluation information is stored separately and can be used to evaluate the feedback of other patients in the future.

The rating reset unit 16 may receive the information evaluated by the user evaluation unit 15, and reset the patient's dementia rating. For example, if the content corresponding to the existing dementia grade was provided, and the patient's correct answer rate and problem solving time, that is, the feedback was evaluated to be significantly higher than the average value of the patient's correct answer rate and problem solving time, the patient's dementia degree was judged to be lower. Because it can be, it can lower the dementia grade of the patient. Conversely, if the patient's feedback was evaluated to be significantly lower than the average value of the other patients' correct answering rate and problem solving time, the patient's dementia grade may be increased.

Also, the screen unit 30 including the second display unit 31 may be further included. The screen unit 30 is a large screen, it is preferable that a large number of patients and instructors share together to be formed in a size that can be seen. The server 10 can output the content to be provided to the patient from the screen unit 30, and the patient terminal 22 provides only view items for solving the content, and the instructor terminal 21 provides the screen unit ( In addition to the content provided in 30), correct answers and commentary may be provided. In addition, it is preferable to add a user interface (UI) capable of progressing the provided content to the instructor terminal 21 so that patients can receive content through the instructor's progress.

Hereinafter, a method of providing grouped content for preventing and diagnosing dementia according to the above description will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

The group-type content providing method for preventing and diagnosing dementia includes: a first step of checking a user's dementia grade, a second step of matching one or more patient terminals 22 having the same dementia grade and an instructor terminal 21; The third step of providing content corresponding to the patient's dementia grade to the patient terminal 22 and providing the correct answer and explanation of the content to the instructor terminal 21, collecting and evaluating the patient's feedback on the content A fourth step and a fifth step of resetting the patient's dementia grade according to the patient's feedback.

Looking in more detail, the first step identifies the user's dementia grade. As a method of checking the user's dementia grade, the user directly receives the dementia grade through the patient terminal 22, or assigns an ID for each user to store personal information and dementia grade in the ID in the server 10, thereby The ID of the user connected to the patient terminal 22 used by the user can confirm the dementia grade. However, the dementia grade is checked only in patients with dementia and not in the case of guardians or instructors. Therefore, as a step before checking the dementia grade, the step of checking whether the terminal 20 used by the user is the patient terminal 22 or the instructor terminal 21 can be preceded.

The second step matches one or more patient terminals 22 having the same dementia grade and an instructor terminal 21. The main purpose according to an embodiment of the present invention is to provide dementia prevention and diagnostic content to a large number of patients under the initiative of a single instructor, so it is preferable to match patients with the same dementia grade in order to enhance the effect of the content. However, since it is difficult to uniformly arrange the number of patients according to the level of dementia, it is possible to match patients with similar dementia grades as well as patients with similar dementia grades. For example, if the dementia grades are divided into 1 to 10 grades, patients with dementia grades 1 to 3 can be matched as one group, and patients with grades 7 to 10 can be matched as one group. have. Here, the terminal 20 includes a first display unit 23, but may further include a transmission / reception unit capable of communicating with the server 10. In addition, a separate input device for accepting input from a user using the terminal 20 may further include a keyboard or a mouse, but supports an input corresponding to various contents while providing an intuitive touch interface. It will be preferable to include in the first display unit 23.

In the third step, the content corresponding to the patient's dementia grade is provided to the patient terminal 22, and the correct answer and explanation of the content is provided to the instructor terminal 21. The provided content may include memory content, execution capability content, spatiotemporal capability content, attention concentration content, sound cognitive content and computational content. It may also include content that fuses each content. For example, it can be composed of memory content to remember things, executive ability content to find things, sound cognitive content to fit sounds, attention-focused content to put things in place, and computational content to calculate things. It may also include content on how to find a road that fuses attention, match a shape that combines space-time and executive abilities, and open a door lock that fuses attention and memory.

In addition to being classified for each type, the contents may be stored in one or more ratings according to difficulty. Since each content can have different difficulty levels depending on the composition of the problem, it is desirable to classify it into three or more grades.

In addition, the content provided to the patient terminal 22 can be conducted under the guidance of an instructor. The instructor terminal 21 includes a UI capable of controlling content provision, and can control content, time, and order to be provided by the instructor. To this end, the content corresponding to the patient's dementia grade is provided on a separate screen 30, the viewing item for the content is provided to the patient terminal 22, and the correct answer and explanation of the content is the instructor terminal 21 ). The screen 30 is a large screen, it is preferable that a large number of patients and instructors share together to be formed in a size that can be seen. The content to be provided to the patient can be output to the screen 30, the patient terminal 22 is provided with only view items that can be solved, and the instructor terminal 21 is provided with the content provided on the screen 30. Correct answers and commentary can be provided. In addition, the instructor terminal 21, it is preferable to add a user interface (UI) that can proceed with the provided content so that the patient can receive the content through the instructor's progress.

The fourth step collects and evaluates patient feedback on the content. In more detail, it is possible to evaluate the patient's feedback corresponding to the content provided to the patient terminal 22. As an evaluation method, it is judged through the problem solving time and the correct answer rate that the patient took to solve the content, but it can be evaluated by comparing with the average value of the correct answer rate and the problem solving time of other patients. The evaluation information is stored separately and can be used to evaluate the feedback of other patients in the future.

The fifth step resets the patient's dementia grade according to the patient's feedback. Looking at in more detail, it is possible to reset the patient's dementia grade based on the information collected and evaluated in the fourth step. For example, content corresponding to the existing dementia grade was provided. , If the feedback was evaluated to be significantly higher than the average value of the correct answer rate and problem solving time of other patients, the degree of dementia of the patient may be judged to be lowered, thereby lowering the patient's dementia grade. Conversely, if the patient's feedback was evaluated to be significantly lower than the average value of the other patients' correct answering rate and problem solving time, the patient's dementia grade may be increased.

By the above-described system and method, dementia patients can be provided with training to improve brain function suitable for their level, thereby preventing dementia from becoming more severe and alleviating symptoms of dementia.
