The storage unit 42 includes, for example, a nonvolatile memory such as a RAM, an EEPROM, or a flash memory, and stores programs and data for executing various functions provided in the information processing apparatus 4.
The program stored in the storage unit 42 includes a program for performing an operation of a determination unit such as whether the subject is in a bed state or a bed leaving state, a sleep state or a wake-up state, a deep sleep state or a shallow state, There is a program that displays information indicating the state of the subject based on the result of
The data stored in the storage unit 42 includes information (state transition information) indicating the past state transition of each subject person, and the state transition information for the past predetermined period (for example, for January) is the state transition. Stored as history information.
Further, the program stored in the storage unit 42 includes a program that predicts the state transition of the subject based on the state transition history information and generates the prediction information.
Moreover, the program memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 42 is a program for producing | generating and displaying as a work shift the nursing care plan of a staff | work and a nap plan based on the prediction information and work information obtained from the determination result by a determination means. is there.
Each of the above programs can be stored in advance at the time of manufacture, downloaded from a website, or acquired from a storage medium such as an external device or a USB memory.

The display unit 43 includes a touch panel that can be touch-operated, and can function as an operation unit by receiving various setting operations by touching the screen with a finger or a touch pen.
The operation unit 44 is an operation means including a keyboard and a mouse.
For example, the subject can be registered by operating the operation unit 44. The registration information of the subject includes the subject name, room number, bed number, monitor device 1 management number, SSID, serial number, and the like. When the registration of the subject is completed, these pieces of information are stored in the storage unit 42 as a subject registration table (see FIG. 5).

  The control unit 45 is configured by a computer including a CPU, and executes various functions included in the information processing apparatus 4 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 42.

For example, the control unit 45 operates as a determination unit, so that the subject is specified based on the biological information detected using the biological sensor 21 that is information included in the variation information received by the communication unit 41. The state can be determined. The specific state refers to a state in which there is no change in the behavior of the subject, such as a sleeping state, a lying state, an awakening state, and a leaving state.
Specifically, the determination means is performed based on biological information detected by the biological sensor 21 and periodically received through the monitor device 1.
When the biological information is received, it can be regarded as biological information based on breathing, heartbeat, and body movement of the subject existing on the bed, and thus this state can be determined as the “bed state”.
On the other hand, when the biological information is not received, it can be considered that the subject does not exist on the bed, and thus this state can be determined as the “bed-out state”.

In the “in-bed state”, it is further possible to determine whether the subject is in a sleeping state or in an awake state. For example, based on a known determination method, when a large amplitude is detected frequently in biological information, it is determined that there is frequent body movement such as turning over and the state is determined to be “wakeful”, and the rest is “sleep” State ".
Moreover, in the case of “sleep state”, the sleep depth (sleep depth) can be determined. For example, based on a well-known determination method, “shallow sleep” and “deep sleep” are determined based on analysis results such as the heart rate and respiratory rate unique to each sleep depth and the time from sleep onset to each sleep depth. can do. It is also possible to determine “intermediate sleep” corresponding to “light sleep” and “deep sleep”.

Such determination means is executed at regular intervals. For example, every time the biological information is received from the monitor device 1, the state of the subject is determined based on the biological information.
Such a determination can be performed for each target person, and therefore a plurality of target persons can be determined in parallel.
That is, since the target person can be specified from the target person registration table (FIG. 5) using the SSID associated with the biometric information as a key, the state can be determined for each specified target person.

Further, the determination result of the determination means and information based on the determination result can be displayed on the display unit 43.
Specifically, the control unit 45 can cause the display unit 43 to display a state image (state icon i1) indicating the state of the subject based on the determination result of the determination unit.
For example, a status window P1 (total state display image) shown in FIG. 6A and a status list screen P2 shown in FIG. 6B can be displayed.

In the status window P1, a state icon i1 indicating the state of the subject is displayed in the area a (FIG. 6A).
For example, when the subject is in the wake state and in the awake state, based on the first state icon table (FIG. 7A), the in-bed (wake-up) icon i1a (FIG. 7B) (Left figure) is displayed.
Similarly, when the subject is in the bed and is in the sleep state, the sleeping icon i1b (the central view in FIG. 7B) is displayed, and when the subject is in the bed, the user is out of bed. Icon i1c (the right figure of FIG.7 (b)) is displayed.

In the area b, as information indicating the biological information of the subject, a blood flow vibration icon indicating vibration associated with blood flow (heartbeat), a respiratory vibration icon indicating vibration associated with respiration, and vibration associated with body movement such as turning over And a sensitivity icon indicating each sensitivity are displayed (FIG. 6A).
According to such a combination of various vibration icons and sensitivity icons, it is possible to grasp at a glance the magnitude of vibration related to heartbeat, respiration, and body movement.
Further, when the installation state of the biosensor 21 (airbag 211) is poor, the sensitivity of the blood flow vibration icon and the sensitivity of the breathing vibration icon are relatively low, so that it can be referred to whether the installation state is good or bad.
Further, in the area b, information indicating whether the subject is in the bed state or the bed leaving state ("bed information") and information indicating whether the subject is in the sleeping state or in the awake state ("sleeping state") may be displayed. (FIG. 6 (a)).
In the area c, room temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and illuminance are displayed as environmental information (FIG. 6A).

In addition, a level meter indicating a communication state with the monitor device 1 can be displayed on the status window P1 (FIG. 6A). For example, the reception intensity of a beacon that is constantly transmitted from the monitor device 1 can be obtained, and the strength thereof can be displayed by a level meter. According to the level meter, the communication state (network status such as strength and disconnection) between the monitor device 1 and the information processing device 4 can be easily grasped visually.
Further, the control unit can notify that the specific target person is calling based on the call signal received from the monitor device 1 in accordance with the operation of the call button 16.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, on the screen displaying the status window P1, it can be notified by a pop-up window that there has been a call from the subject (Itabashi-sama).
Moreover, as shown in FIG.8 (b), when detecting a subject's state change, the said event (Itabashi-like having left the floor) can be alert | reported by a pop-up window.

Further, the control unit 45 is information that associates the transition of the state of the subject with the time information based on the determination result of the determination unit, and records history information (state transition that records the past state and state transition of each subject) History information) can be stored in the storage unit 42.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, past histories such as staying in bed, leaving bed, sleeping state (light sleep state, deep sleep state), awakening state, entering bed, falling asleep, getting up, getting out of bed, etc. Can be stored.
In addition, the sleep state in the daytime (for example, 11: 00 to 17:00) is determined as “nap”, or the awake state in the night (for example, 23: 00 to 5:00) or in the night care time zone is “intermediate awakening”. ”, And the history of“ nap ”and“ awakening midway ”can be included in the state transition history information and stored.
In addition, the call history by the operation of the call button 16 can be included in the state transition history information and stored.

Moreover, the control part 45 can display the history of a subject's past sleep state with a graph based on the state transition history information which consists of the determination result by a determination means as a graph display means.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the state of the subject (flooring state, leaving bed state, sleeping state, awakening state) and an event based on a change in the state (falling into bed, falling asleep, waking up, leaving bed) A bar graph associated with date and time information can be displayed as a sleep graph.

  In addition, the control part 45 is provided with the function which produces | generates a subject's work shift so that display is possible, and has implement | achieved the said function with the following each means.

The control unit 45 operates as a prediction information generation unit, thereby predicting the state transition of the subject in association with the time information based on the determination result of the determination unit, and generating the prediction information.
Specifically, based on the state transition history information stored in the storage unit 42, the prediction information in which the specific state (sleeping state or awakening state) of the subject predicted on the day is linked for each time zone is generated. To do.

For example, FIG. 11 shows the prediction information of the subject person A obtained by averaging the state transition history information of the subject person A for the past month.
According to the prediction information in FIG. 11, the subject A enters 21:00, 21: 0 to 3:00 and 4:00 to 8:00 is in a sleep state, wakes up at 8:00, From 3:00 to 4:00, it is predicted that the state is awakening (halfway awakening).
Moreover, 21: 0 to 00:00, 1:00 to 3:00, 4:00 to 5:00, and 6: 0 to 8:00 in the time zone predicted to be a sleep state is a state of shallow sleep. Yes, it is predicted that 00:00 to 01:00 and 50:00 to 6:00 are deep sleep states.
Although not shown, it is also possible to generate call prediction information specifying a time zone in which a call is predicted based on the call history included in the state transition history information, and including this call prediction information in the prediction information. You can also.

In addition, the control unit 45 operates as a business information generation unit, and performs an operation of generating business information related to a business to be performed by a person in charge of the target person based on the prediction information.
Here, “the work to be performed by the person in charge of the target person” refers to assistance work (night care) such as changing diapers and turning assistance at night, which is performed by a staff member who is in charge of care at the care facility.
In addition, “business information related to work to be performed by the person in charge of the target person based on the prediction information” is information such as a care schedule related to the target person based on the prediction information of the target person. The recommended care plan for the subject can be listed. More specifically, it is possible to list a time zone in which assistance is recommended (recommended care time zone) and the number of subjects whose assistance is recommended in the time zone (recommended care value and recommended care value total).

And the control part 45 produces | generates the information based on the prediction information corresponding to the target person who belongs to a specific group among several target persons, and the work information corresponding to the person in charge in charge of the target person who belongs to a specific group. Perform the action.
Specifically, based on each prediction information regarding each target person belonging to a specific group and business information based on each prediction information, an overall work shift for all target persons in charge of the staff is generated.

Here, the “specific group” can be composed of a plurality of subjects who stay in the same room.
For example, as shown in the facility map of FIG. 12A, the target persons A to D, the target persons E to H, and the target persons I to L are the same room (so-called shared room), Room 101, Room 102, Because they stay in Room 103, they belong to the same specific group.
In addition, as shown in the facility map (lower right) of FIG. 12A, the subjects M to P are staying in private rooms and different rooms, but the same group due to the proximity of the rooms. It can also be.

In addition, the “specific group” can be composed of a plurality of target persons whose rooms are on the same floor.
For example, as shown in the facility map of FIG. 12B, the target persons A to D, the target persons E to H, and the target persons I to L are placed in the first, second, and third floor rooms, which are the same floor, respectively. To stay, belong to the same specific group.
In addition, grouping can be performed according to the case where the building of the staying room is the same or different.

  Hereinafter, a specific method for generating a work shift will be described with reference to FIGS. The (legend) shown in FIG. 13 is commonly used in FIGS. 14 to 20, but is omitted in these drawings.

[Basic operation for generating work shift]
First, a basic operation for generating a work shift will be described.
As a specific example, a work shift generation operation when the staff member X is in charge of night care of the target persons A to D staying in the 101st room will be described with reference to FIG.
In addition, 2 hours after falling asleep to 2 hours before waking up is a time zone for night care (night care time zone), and in other time zones, restrictions are provided on the assumption that night care is not performed (Fig. 13) Similar restrictions are provided for FIGS. However, such a restriction can be omitted.

Here, when the awakening state is predicted in a specific time zone at night in the subject, the control unit 45 may be a time zone in which assistance of the subject person is recommended, A recommended care value “1” indicating that there is one subject who is recommended to assist in the time zone is set in association with the time zone.
This is because night care is usually performed when the subject is in a sleeping state, but it is preferable to perform assistance when the subject is in an awake state as much as possible without disturbing the subject's sleep. .
Thereby, the recommended care value “1” is set for the target person A from 3:00 to 4:00, and the recommended care value is set to 2:00 to 3:00 for the target person B and the target person C. “1” is set (see FIG. 13).

Next, the total recommended care value obtained by adding the recommended care values of the target persons A to D for each time period is obtained.
As a result, the total recommended care value becomes “2” in the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 and becomes “1” in the time zone from 3:00 to 4:00, and other time zones (24:00 to 00:00) 2:00, 4:00 to 6:00) is 0 (no data) (see FIG. 13).
Here, a time zone with a large total of recommended care values is specified as a time zone (care recommended time zone) in which care is recommended for the specific group as a whole.
The total recommended care value indicates the number of subjects who are in awake state for each time period. The higher the recommended total care value is, the higher the degree of assistance recommended for a specific group, the overall efficiency of the assistance service. It is because it can be performed.
For example, in the example of FIG. 13, based on the result of the total recommended care value, the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00 is set as the first recommended care time zone (high-priority recommended care time zone), 3:00. The time zone of ˜4: 00 can be identified as the second recommended nursing time zone (low-priority recommended nursing time zone).

In this way, instead of specifying two recommended care hours with different priorities, specify one recommended care period, or specify three or more recommended care periods with different priorities. You can also
In addition, when there are multiple time zones with the same recommended care value, specify the recommended care time zone based on a predetermined priority (early or late time, time zone based on an arbitrarily set priority, etc.) can do.

Subsequently, the target person is assigned around the specified recommended care time period.
In addition, night care shall be performed once per target person in the night care time zone.
In addition, it is assumed that the time required for assistance for one target person is 30 minutes, and two target persons are allocated per unit time.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and the number of cares, unit time, and the number of assignees per unit time can be arbitrarily set. For example, the number of times of care in the night care hours can be set to 2 times, the unit time can be 30 minutes, or the number of assignees per unit time can be four.

Specifically, the assignment of the target person is performed by setting the target person in which the recommended care value is recorded for the recommended care time period according to the priority order.
Therefore, first, the target person B and the target person C are assigned to the first recommended nursing care time zone (2: 0 to 3:00).
Next, the target person A and the target person D are assigned to the second recommended care period (3: 00 to 4:00).
If there are more than 3 target persons, the two selected persons based on a predetermined priority order (bed number order, monitor device management number order, age order, sex order, arbitrarily set order, etc.) Target person is assigned.
In addition, when there is one applicable target person (less than two), one target person selected from the remaining target persons based on the priority order is assigned.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, the subjects B and C are assisted in the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00, and the subjects A and D are assisted in the time zone from 3:00 to 4:00. A series of work shifts to be performed can be generated.

[When staff is in charge of care for multiple specific groups]
Next, a work shift generation operation when a staff member takes charge of care for a plurality of specific groups will be described.
As a specific example, a work shift generation operation in the case where staff X takes care of the target persons A to D who stay in the 101st room and the target persons E to H who stay in the 102th room will be described with reference to FIG. .
As in this example, when a plurality of rooms (a plurality of specific groups) of Room 101 and Room 102 are in charge, first, a recommended care value is calculated for each room.
As a result, the total recommended care value for Room 101 is “2” for the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 and “1” for the time zone from 3:00 to 4:00, and the total recommended care value for Room 102 is The time zone from 1:00 to 2:00 is “2”, and the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 is “1” (see FIG. 14).

  In addition, based on the total recommended care value, room 101 sets the second recommended care time in the first recommended care time zone from 2:00 to 3:00, and the second recommended care time in the time range from 3:00 to 4:00. As for room 102, the time zone of 1:00 to 2:00 is the first recommended nursing time zone, and the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00 is the second recommended nursing time zone. Can be specified as

The assignment of the target person is first performed in the same manner as the basic operation described above for the rooms 101 and 102.
As a result, for room 101, the target person B and the target person C are assigned to the first recommended care period (2: 0 to 3:00), and then the second recommended care period (3 : 00 to 4:00), the target person A and the target person D are assigned (refer to “Work shift in room 101” in FIG. 14).
For room 102, the target person E and the target person F are assigned to the first recommended care period (10:00 to 2:00), and the second recommended care period (2: 0 to 3). : 00), the target person G and the target person H are assigned (refer to “Work shift in room 102” in FIG. 14).
Then, based on the work shift of each room, an overall work shift is generated.

The entire work shift assigns the final target person based on the priority order of the room 101 → the room 102 and the priority order of the target persons A → B... → G → H.
First, since the room 101 has a higher priority than the room 102, the target person is assigned to the room 101.
Since room 101 is a room with the highest priority, the assignment of the subject person in the “work shift of room 101” is directly reflected in the entire work shift.
That is, the target person B and the target person C are assigned to the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00, and the target person A and the target person D are assigned to the time zone of 3:00 to 4:00.
However, when assigning the target person regarding the work shift in the next room 102, the "work shift in room 102" and the "work shift in room 101" have overlapping time zones (2: 0 to 3:00). Therefore, in this case, the assignment of the subject person in the overlapping time zone of “Room 102 work shift” is changed to another time zone.
To change the time zone, for example, change to the time zone immediately after the overlapping time zone, and if another target person with a higher priority is assigned to the time zone immediately after that, the time zone immediately before change.
Furthermore, when another high-priority target person is assigned to the immediately preceding time zone, the time zone is changed in the same manner.

Thereby, about the 102nd room, the subject person E and the subject person F are allocated with respect to the 1st nursing care recommendation time slot | zone (1: 00-2: 00).
However, in assigning the target person G and the target person H, the target persons B and C in the 101st room with high priority are assigned in the second recommended care period (2: 0 to 3:00). Yes.
In addition, the subjects A and D are assigned to the time zone (3:00 to 4:00) immediately after this time zone (2: 0 to 3:00), and the time zone immediately before that (10:00) To 2:00) are also assigned the target persons E and F.
For this reason, the target person G and the target person H are allocated to the time zone of 4:00 to 5:00.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 14, the subjects E and F are assisted in the time zone of 1:00 to 2:00, and the subjects B and C are assisted in the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00. A series of work shifts in which the subjects A and D are assisted in the time of 3:00 to 4:00 and the subjects G and H are assisted in the time of 4:00 to 5:00 Can be generated.

[When multiple employees are in charge of nursing care for multiple specific groups]
Next, a work shift generation method when a plurality of staff members take care of a plurality of specific groups will be described.
As specific examples, staff X and staff Y are subject to subjects A to D who stay in Room 101, subjects E to H who stay in Room 102, and subjects I to L who stay in Room 103 at night care. This will be described with reference to FIG.
Here, a case where staff X and staff Y handle the same number of target persons will be described. That is, since there are 12 subjects, it is assumed that 6 subjects are in charge of each.

The total recommended care value for Room 101 is “2” for the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 and “1” for the time zone from 3:00 to 4:00, and the total recommended care value for Room 102 is The time zone from 1:00 to 2:00 is “2”, and the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 is “1” (see FIG. 15).
Based on the result of the above-mentioned total recommended care value, Room 101 has a second recommended care time during the first recommended care time zone from 2:00 to 3:00, and the second recommended care time from 3:00 to 4:00. It can be specified as a belt, and for Room 102 and Room 103, the first nursing care recommended time zone is set at the time of 1:00 to 2:00, and the second nursing care time is set at the time of 2:00 to 3:00. It can be specified as a recommended time zone.
As a result, for room 101, the target person B and the target person C are assigned to the first recommended care period (2: 0 to 3:00), and then the second recommended care period (3 : 00 to 4:00), the target person A and the target person D are assigned (refer to “Work shift in room 101” in FIG. 15).
For room 102, the target person E and the target person F are assigned to the first recommended care period (1:00 to 2:00), and the second recommended care period (2: 0 to 3:00). ) Are assigned to the subject person G and the subject person H (see “Work shift in room 102” in FIG. 15).
For room 103, the target person I and the target person J are assigned to the first recommended care period (1:00 to 2:00), and the second recommended care period (2: 0 to 3:00). ) Is assigned to the subject person K and the subject person L (see “Work shift in room 103” in FIG. 15).
Then, based on the work shift of each room, an overall work shift is generated.
The overall work shift is in the order of priority of staff X → staff Y, room 101 → room 102 → room 103, target person A → B ... → G → H priority, 6 people each. Do.
Since the staff member X has the highest priority, first, the work shift of the staff member X is generated.
Here, since the room 101 has the highest priority, the assignment of the target person in the “work shift of the room 101” is directly reflected in the work shift of the staff X.
That is, the target person B and the target person C are assigned to the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00, and the target person A and the target person D are assigned to the time zone of 3:00 to 4:00.
At this stage, in the work shift of staff X, four subjects are assigned.

Subsequently, as the work shift of staff X, when assigning the target person in “Work shift of room 102”, since four of the six target persons in charge of staff X have already been assigned, it is reflected as it is. Then, the number of target persons will be exceeded.
For this reason, first of all, the target person E and the target person F assigned in the first recommended nursing care time zone (1:00 to 2:00) in the “work shift of room 102” are reflected in the care plan of the staff X Let
As a result, the number of assigned persons becomes 6, and the work shift of the staff X is completed.
Next, as the work shift of the staff member Y, the target person G and the target person H assigned in the second recommended nursing care time zone (2: 0 to 3:00) in the “work shift of room 102” are reflected.

Subsequently, as the work shift of the staff member Y, the assignment of the target person in the “work shift of room No. 103” is reflected, and the target person G and the target person are already in the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00. H is assigned.
For this reason, the assignment of the subject I and the subject J is reflected in the time zone of 1:00 to 2:00, but the time zone immediately after the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00 The target person K and the target person L are assigned to.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, as the care plan for the staff member X, the subjects E and F are assisted in the time zone of 1:00 to 2:00, and the subject is in the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00. Along with a series of work shifts that will assist the persons B and C and assist the persons A and D in the time zone from 30:00 to 4:00, The subjects I and J are cared for in the time zone of 0:00, the subjects G and H are assisted in the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00, and the subject is in the time zone of 3:00 to 4:00. A series of work shifts to be assisted by K and L can be generated.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 4 of the present embodiment, a work that can efficiently perform night care without disturbing the sleep of the target person while supporting various staff structures, group structures, and target person structures. Shifts can be generated automatically.
Further, the work shift generated in this way can be displayed on the display unit 43.
Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the care schedule of the staff on the day through visual observation, and it is possible to realize an efficient night operation in the care facility.

[About work shifts taking into account staff experience and position]
The information processing apparatus 4 of this embodiment can also generate a work shift that takes into account the experience and position of the staff.
For example, when the staff member X is inexperienced in nursing care, the number of persons in charge can be set to be lower than that of a general staff member Y who has passed a certain number of years of experience.
In addition, even when the staff is a managerial position, the number of target persons can be set to be lower than that of general staff because priority is given to other work.
In contrast to these settings, the number of subjects can be increased.
As described above, a method for generating a work shift in the case where the experience and position of the staff are taken into account will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 16 is a simplified diagram from FIG. 15 with reference to “work shift in room 101”, “work shift in room 102”, and “work shift in room 103” for convenience.

Here, in assigning the target persons, the total number of the target persons is 12. For example, the target number of the staff X can be set to four, and the target number of the staff Y can be set to eight. .
In this case, first, the assignment of the subject person in the “Work shift of the 101st room” is reflected as it is as the care plan for the staff X.
That is, the target person B and the target person C are assigned to the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00, and the target person A and the target person D are assigned to the time zone of 3:00 to 4:00.
As a result, four subjects are assigned as the care plan for staff X, so the work shift for staff X is completed.

Next, the assignment of the subject person in the “workflow in the room 102” is reflected as it is as the care schedule for the staff member Y.
That is, the target person E and the target person F are assigned to the time zone of 1:00 to 2:00, and the target person G and the target person H are assigned to the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00.
Subsequently, as the work shift of the staff member Y, the assignment of the target person in the “workflow room of the room 103” is reflected, and the target persons E and F are already assigned to the time zone of 1:00 to 2:00. ing.
Therefore, based on the method described above, the target person I and the target person J are assigned to the time zone immediately before (24:00:00 to 1:00).
In addition, the subjects G and H are already assigned to the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00.
For this reason, the target person K and the target person L are allocated to the time zone (3: 00 to 4:00) immediately after that based on the method described above.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 16, as the care plan for the staff member X, the subjects B and C are assisted in the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00, and the subject is in the time zone from 3:00 to 4:00. Along with a series of work shifts to assist the persons A and D, the staff I will assist the staff I and J in the time zone from 24: 00 to 1: 00 as the nursing care schedule for the staff Y, and 1: 00 to 2 Assistance of subject persons E and F in the time zone of 0:00, assistance of subject persons G and H in the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00, and subject person in the time zone of 3:00 to 4:00 A series of work shifts to be assisted by K and L can be generated.
In addition, by displaying the work shift generated in this way on the display unit 43, it is possible to easily confirm the care plan of the staff on the day through vision.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 4 of the present embodiment, the work shift in consideration of the experience and position of the staff is automatically performed while the night care can be efficiently performed without disturbing the sleep of the subject. Can be generated and displayed.
For this reason, more efficient night operation in a nursing home can be realized.

[Work shift including recommended nap time zone]
Next, the work shift generation operation including the recommended nap time zone will be described.
Night care is carried out at midnight, and if the staff who is in charge of nursing care can expect free time in advance, the staff can efficiently take a break such as a nap (hereinafter simply referred to as a nap). Preferred for night operation.
In this regard, assistance when the subject is in a sleep state is not suitable because it interferes with the subject's sleep, but is therefore suitable as a time slot for rest.
For this reason, in the group that the staff is in charge of, when it is predicted that a certain time or more will be in the sleep state for a certain number of subjects, the time zone during which work breaks are possible and nap is recommended (Nap recommended time zone).

From such a viewpoint, in the information processing apparatus 4 according to the present embodiment, the determination unit determines that the target person is in the specific state based on the biological information detected using the biological sensor 21, particularly the sleep state. Then, the prediction information generation means generates individual prediction information (predicted time zone of sleep state) based on the determination result, and the business information generation means takes charge of each target person based on the prediction information. Business information related to the work to be performed by the person in charge (such as recommended nap time zone described later) is generated individually.
And, as information based on the prediction information corresponding to the target person belonging to the specific group and the business information corresponding to the person in charge of the target person belonging to the specific group, the care of the target person belonging to one or a plurality of groups is provided. A work shift assigned with a recommended nap time zone is generated and displayed as break time information for the staff in charge.
Such a work shift including the recommended nap recommendation time zone will be described with two examples.
In addition, description about allocation of the care plan of a subject person etc. is abbreviate | omitted.

First, a first example of a work shift that includes a recommended nap recommendation time zone will be described.
FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining a first example of a work shift including a recommended nap time slot. In FIG. 13, items of recommended nap value and total recommended nap value are added.
As shown in FIG. 17, a recommended nap value “(1)” (shown in parentheses for convenience so that it can be distinguished from a recommended care value) is set for the time zone in which the sleep state is predicted, and the subject person A is set for each time zone. The total recommended nap value obtained by adding the recommended nap values of -D is calculated.
As a result, the total recommended nap value is “(4)” in the time zone from 24:00:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 6:00, and “(3)” from 1:00 to 2:00, The time zone from 3:00 to 4:00 is “(2)”, and the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 is “(1)” (see FIG. 17).

Here, a time zone in which the recommended total nap value is large is identified as a time zone in which nap is recommended (recommended time zone for nap).
The recommended nap value is information indicating that a nap is recommended, and that there is one subject who is recommended to take a nap in the time zone. The recommended nap value is a target in a sleep state. The number of persons is shown for each time zone.
For this reason, it is because the recommendation degree of assistance is so low that a time slot with many nap recommendation value totals is high, and the recommendation degree of a nap is high for the staff.
For example, a time zone in which the total recommended nap value is “(4)” can be set as the recommended nap time zone.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 17, the time zones of 24: 0 to 2:00 and 4:00 to 6:00 can be set as the recommended nap time zone.
Thereby, the work shift to which the nap recommendation time slot | zone of the staff was allocated can be produced | generated with the nursing care plan of object person A-D who stays in the 101st room.

Next, a second example of work shift including a recommended nap recommendation time zone will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining a second example of a work shift including a recommended nap time zone. In FIG. 14, the items of the recommended nap value and the total recommended nap value are added.
Specifically, when the staff member X is in charge of a plurality of groups, a work shift including a recommended nap time zone is generated.
In this case, the recommended total nap value is not calculated for each room, but the total value for the subjects A to H is obtained.
Even when the recommended degree of assistance is low for the subjects in Room 101, it is not always the time when the recommended degree of assistance is low for the subjects in Room 102, and nap is recommended for each room. This is because it is unreasonable to determine the time zone.
As a result, the total recommended nap value becomes “(8)” in the time zone of 24:00:00 to 10:00 and 4:00 to 6:00, and becomes “(7)” from 30:00 to 4:00, The time zone from 1:00 to 2:00 is “(6)”, and the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 is “(5)” (see FIG. 18).

Here, for example, a time zone in which the total recommended nap value is “(8)” can be set as the recommended nap time zone as the time zone having a large total recommended nap value.
However, since the care schedule for the subjects G and H is assigned to the time zone from 4:00 to 5:00, it is excluded from the setting target of the recommended nap time zone.
As a result, the recommended nap time zone is set for the time zones of 24:00:00 to 10:00 and 5:00:00 to 6:00 (see FIG. 18).
For this reason, the work shift to which the nap recommendation time zone of the staff was allocated can be generated with the care plan of the subject persons A to D staying in the 101st room and the subject persons E to H staying in the 102nd room.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 4 of the present embodiment, while being able to perform night care efficiently without obstructing the sleep of the subject, the staff in charge of care can also efficiently rest. Considerable work shifts can be automatically generated and displayed.
For this reason, more efficient night operation in a nursing home can be realized.

[About work shifts that take into account the subject's behavior patterns]
Next, a work shift that takes into account the behavior pattern of the subject will be described with reference to FIG.
Specifically, a method for generating a work shift in the case where a call is predicted at night from the call history of the target person as an action pattern of the target person will be described.
This is because the time period when the call is predicted is more efficient because the target person is in an awake state and the staff is more likely to be called.

From this point of view, here, when a call is predicted at night based on the call prediction information included in the prediction information, the call prediction value “1” is set in association with the predicted time zone. To do.
For example, as shown in FIG. 19, when a call from the subject A is predicted in the time period from 4:00 to 5:00, the predicted call value “1” is set in association with the time period.

Next, the total recommended care value is calculated by adding the recommended care value and the predicted call value of the target persons A to D for each time period.
Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 19, the total recommended care value becomes “2” in the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00 and 4:00 to 5:00, and the time zone of 3:00 to 4:00. Becomes “1”.
And the time slot | zone with many nursing care recommendation values is specified as a nursing care recommendation time slot | zone.
The predicted call value has the same property as the recommended care value in that the operation of the call button 16 is performed when the subject is in an awake state. This is because the recommendation level is high and the assistance service can be performed efficiently.
In this case, based on the result of the total recommended care value, the time period from 2:00 to 3:00 is the first recommended care time period, and the time period from 4:00 to 5:00 is the second recommended care time. It can be specified as a belt.

Subsequently, the target person is assigned around the specified recommended care time period.
Thereby, as shown in FIG. 19, the target person B and the target person C are assisted in the time zone of 2:00 to 3:00, and the target person A and the target person are in the time zone of 4:00 to 5:00. A series of work shifts to be assisted by D can be generated.

The recommended care value and the predicted call value may be different.
In addition, the predicted call value is not included in the total recommended care value, and can be an independent determination factor in determining the recommended care time zone. For example, a care schedule can be preferentially assigned to a time period in which a call is predicted (a time period in which a predicted call value is recorded) regardless of the total recommended care value.

In addition to the call history, a work shift can be generated in consideration of various behavior patterns of the target person.
For example, when it is detected from the state transition history information on the day that the subject took a nap on the day, a predetermined recommended nursing care value (for example, 0.5 or the like) is assumed to increase the possibility of being awake at night. ) Can be set and added to a predetermined time zone (for example, every unit time of the night care time zone).

  In addition, when it is predicted that the time zone of the sleep state when taking a nap is different from normal (for example, falling asleep late), or when it is predicted that awakening during a specific time zone will occur, these Based on the prediction information, the work shift can be generated by setting the recommended care value in the corresponding prediction time zone.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 4 of the present embodiment, the work shift in consideration of the behavior pattern of the subject can be automatically performed while the night care can be efficiently performed without disturbing the sleep of the subject. Can be generated and displayed.
For this reason, more efficient night operation in a nursing home can be realized.

[About work shifts that take into account employee behavior patterns]
Next, a work shift that takes into account the behavior patterns of the staff will be described with reference to FIG.
Specifically, as a behavior pattern of the staff, a method for generating a work shift when the staff is scheduled to patrol at night will be described.
This is because the time zone in which the tour is scheduled is usually determined in advance, and it is more efficient to provide assistance according to the time zone.
For example, as shown in FIG. 20, it is assumed that the staff member X is scheduled to visit room 101 at each time of 22: 00 to 23: 00, 1: 00 to 2:00, and 5: 00 to 6:00. .
In this case, first, a time zone having the largest number of recommended nursing care values is specified as the first recommended nursing time zone, and a scheduled traveling time zone is specified as the second recommended nursing time zone.

Specifically, the assignment of the target person first determines whether or not there is a portion where the first recommended care time zone and the second recommended care time zone overlap.
When there is a portion where the first recommended care time zone and the second recommended care time zone overlap, the care plan of the target person with the recommended care value is allocated to the duplicate time zone, and the duplicate time The care schedule of the remaining subjects is assigned to the time zone immediately before or after the zone.

Further, when there is no portion where the first recommended care time zone and the second recommended care time zone overlap, it is determined whether or not these recommended care time zones are adjacent to each other.
When there is an adjacent part, the care plan of the target person for whom the recommended care value is recorded is assigned to the first recommended care period and the remaining care plan of the remaining target person is assigned to the second recommended care period assign.
For example, in the example shown in FIG. 20, the time zone from 2:00 to 3:00 is the first recommended nursing care time zone, and is from 22:00 to 23:00, 1:00 to 2:00, 5:00. ˜6: 00 is the second recommended nursing time zone.

Here, the first care recommendation time zone and the second care recommendation time zone do not overlap. However, the first recommended care period (2:00 to 3:00) is adjacent to the second recommended care period (1:00 to 2:00).
For this reason, first, the care plan of the subject person B and the subject person C is assigned to 2:00 to 3:00, which is the first recommended care time period.
Next, the care schedules of the subject person A and the subject person D are assigned to 1:00 to 2:00, which is the second scheduled care time period.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 20, while configuring a traveling schedule for each time zone of 22: 00 to 23:00, 1: 00 to 2:00, 5: 00 to 6:00, 1: 00 to 2 A series of work shifts are generated in which assistance of the subjects A and D is performed together with patrol in the time zone of 0:00, and assistance of the subjects B and C is conducted in the time zone of 3:00 to 4:00. be able to.

In addition, it is possible to generate a work shift in consideration of various behavior patterns of the staff as well as the tour schedule.
For example, if a staff member works night shift the previous day, include the recommended nap time zone in the work shift, and if the staff member does not work night shift the previous day, do not include the recommended nap time zone in the work shift. You can also.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus 4 of the present embodiment, a work shift can be automatically generated in consideration of the behavior pattern of the staff while being able to perform night care efficiently without disturbing the sleep of the subject. And can be displayed.
For this reason, more efficient night operation in a nursing home can be realized.

Next, a work shift generation method in the information processing apparatus will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 21, the information processing apparatus 4 has received biological information (S1).
Specifically, the biological information is vibration information corresponding to respiration, heartbeat, and body movement detected by the biological sensor 21, and is continuously received via the monitor device 1 at regular intervals. (See FIG. 3).

Next, the state of the user is determined (S2).
The user status can be determined based on the biometric information received in S1 such as whether the user is in the bed or out of bed, whether the user is sleeping or awake, whether it is a light sleep or a deep sleep.

Subsequently, the state transition information is stored (S3).
The state transition information constitutes state transition history information by storing for each subject based on the determination result in S2. For example, state transition history information for the past month can be stored (see FIG. 9).

Next, prediction information is generated (S4).
The prediction information is generated based on the state transition history information based on the determination result.
Specifically, for each target person, it is possible to generate prediction information that predicts the presence of a bed, a bed leaving state, a sleep state, a wakeful state, a light sleep, a deep sleep, and a change in these states in association with time information. Yes (see FIG. 11).

Subsequently, business information is generated (S5).
The business information is information such as a care schedule regarding the target person based on the prediction information of the target person, and in particular, a care schedule recommended for one target person can be mentioned.
More specifically, it is possible to list a time zone in which assistance is recommended (recommended care time zone) and the number of subjects whose assistance is recommended in the time zone (recommended care value and recommended care value total).

Then, a care plan (work shift) is generated based on the prediction information and the business information (S6).
Specifically, based on each prediction information regarding each target person belonging to a specific group and business information based on each prediction information, an overall work shift for all target persons in charge of the staff is generated.
More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 20, a work shift that allows the staff to efficiently perform night care without disturbing the sleep of the subject can be automatically displayed while taking into account various factors. Generate.

(Other embodiments)
As another embodiment, the information processing apparatus 4 according to the present embodiment can display a facility map of a care facility on the display unit 43 as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23. In the facility map, The current state of the subject (being in bed, getting out of bed, sleeping, awakening, etc.) can be indicated by color or pattern.
For example, FIG. 23 is a facility map showing the current state of all subjects staying in a care facility for each bed number. In this facility map, one or a plurality of arbitrary subjects or groups can be selected by a mouse operation or the like. By designating, as shown in FIG. 22, the state of a desired subject can be displayed in close-up.
In addition to indicating the current state of each subject by color or pattern, highlighting such as blinking can be performed.
In addition, when the call button 16 is used to indicate the state of the target person who is calling the staff member in a specific display mode, control for switching to another display when a certain time has elapsed since the call, or control for displaying a separate message It can be performed.

Furthermore, in such a facility map, it is possible to notify the assistance timing of the subject person.
For example, FIG. 24 is an example of a screen displayed by superimposing the subject's status window P1 on the facility map.
Specifically, based on the generated work shift data, not only the message in the subject's status window P1 but also the fact that the current time is the time zone for the subject's care plan or that the care plan is near. Because the size is changed, the timing of assistance can be grasped immediately.
In addition, during the nighttime period, when all the subjects in the care facility or all subjects belonging to the specific group are in a sleep state, the notification can be performed through the screen or the like.
Thereby, the staff can grasp the appropriate timing to take a break in real time.

In addition, notification can also be performed when a predetermined number or more of subjects are in an awake state during the nighttime period.
Thereby, the staff can grasp in real time the appropriate timing for assistance.

In addition, as shown in each drawing of FIG. 25, a plurality of sleep graphs of subjects can be displayed as a list, or a list of such sleep graphs can be displayed for each day.
If it does in this way, the relative state analysis by the comparison with the other subject who belongs to a group, and the state analysis as the whole group can be performed efficiently visually.

As described above, in the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention, based on the biological information detected using the biological sensor 21, it is determined that the subject is in a specific state, and based on the determination result. Thus, prediction information of the target person is generated, and predetermined business information is generated based on the prediction information.
And, it is possible to display the care plan (work shift) of each target person as information based on the prediction information corresponding to the target person belonging to the specific group and the business information corresponding to the person in charge of the target person belonging to the specific group To generate.
In particular, according to the information processing apparatus 4 of this embodiment, when assisting a subject belonging to a specific group, taking care of the subject efficiently without disturbing the subject's sleep while taking into account various factors. Possible work shifts can be automatically generated and displayed.
Thereby, it is possible to realize an efficient night operation in the nursing facility.

On the other hand, the conventional information processing apparatus can detect and evaluate the sleep state of the subject and display it as a graph, but cannot generate a care plan in a care facility.
According to the information processing apparatus of this embodiment, all or part of such problems that the conventional information processing apparatus should improve can be solved.

The information processing apparatus according to the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment. However, the information processing apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. It goes without saying that implementation is possible.
For example, a work shift that takes into account the sleep depth of the subject can also be generated.
Specifically, the recommended care value “1” can be set not only in a time zone in which mid-wake awakening is predicted, but also in a time zone in which shallow sleep is predicted.
In this way, it is possible to generate a work shift that can be cared for without a disturbing deep sleep as much as possible even for a subject who is not predicted to be awake.

In addition, the recommended care value “1” is set for a time period in which light sleep is predicted, and the recommended care value “2” is set in a time period in which mid-wake awakening is predicted, so that deep sleep is predicted. It is also possible not to set the recommended care value.
By doing in this way, the total recommended care value tends to increase in the time zone in which mid-wake awakening is predicted, and the recommended total care value tends to increase in the next time zone in which shallow sleep is predicted.
For this reason, it is possible to generate a work shift in which a time zone in which awakening is predicted to be a nursing care schedule is given first priority, while a time zone in which shallow sleep is predicted is given a second priority nursing care.
Thereby, even in a situation where assistance must be performed in the sleep state, it is not necessary to perform assistance in the case of a deep sleep state, so that the sleep of the subject can be prevented as much as possible.

In the work shift including the recommended nap time zone, the recommended nap value is set as a value different from the recommended care value, and the total value (recommended total nap value) is obtained individually to determine the recommended nap time zone. However, for example, the recommended care value “−1 (minus 1)” may be set, and a time zone in which the recommended care value total is a predetermined negative value may be set as the recommended nap time zone. it can.
Thereby, arithmetic processing can be performed at high speed.

In addition, a nap recommended time zone can be set in consideration of the sleep depth.
For example, the recommended nap value “(1)” may be set in a time zone in which deep sleep is predicted, and the recommended nap value may not be set in a time zone in which shallow sleep is predicted.
Also, the recommended nap value “(2)” can be set in a time zone where deep sleep is predicted, and the recommended nap value “(1)” can be set in a time zone where shallow sleep is predicted.
Accordingly, it is possible to generate a work shift in which a time zone in which deep sleep is predicted is set as the first priority, and a time zone in which shallow sleep is predicted is set as the second priority.
In other words, this makes it possible to generate a work shift that includes a highly accurate nap recommendation time zone as a time zone during which a nap is possible.

Moreover, about a sleep graph (refer FIG. 10), display start time can be set arbitrarily.
For example, FIG. 26 is a sleep graph of the subject staying in the room 201, (a) is a sleep graph when the display start time is set to “12:00”, and (b) is the display start time. Is a sleep graph when is set to “0:00”.
Moreover, each figure of FIG. 27 is the same sleep graph of the subject who stays in the 202nd room.
In this way, the night time zone is centered on the screen (see FIG. 26 (a), etc.), and the day time zone is centered on the screen (see FIG. 26 (b), etc.). It is possible to make it easier to see the state of the subject in the time zone.
For example, the subject in room 201 sleeps almost without any problem at night, although there is some awakening (see FIG. 26 (a)), and is active in the daytime, almost not in the room. (FIG. 26B).
On the other hand, the subject in room 202 has a considerable number of days when there is a lot of awakening at night and extremely little sleep time (see FIG. 27A), and there are many naps during the day (FIG. 27B). ))), And can be analyzed.
