Method for predicting future change in physical condition of person from sleep-state history
A method includes: acquiring body motion data related to body motions of a target person; generating, based on the body motion data, sleep state data related to a sleep state of the target person; storing the sleep state data into a sleep state database; predicting a future change in a physical condition of the target person from the sleep state data by referencing a physical condition prediction information database; and when the physical condition data indicating the physical condition of the target person is acquired, reading past sleep state data over a past period from the sleep state database, collating the physical condition data with the past sleep state data to generate physical condition prediction information for predicting a particular change in the physical condition from particular sleep state data, and registering the physical condition prediction information into the physical condition prediction information database.
BRAIN DYSFUNCTION EVALUATION SYSTEM, BRAIN DYSFUNCTION EVALUATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A system for evaluating a degree of brain dysfunction of a subject, such as a decline in cognitive function, calculates a difference in movement functions between both hands in a coordination movement. The system includes a storage device for storing time-series data on a finger movement task of each of both hands of a test subject acquired by a movement sensor; a data processing device for analyzing the time-series data stored in the storage device; and a display device for displaying an analysis result analyzed by the data processing device. The data processing device includes a movement waveform generation unit for generating a movement waveform corresponding to the time-series data stored in the storage device; and a difference-between-hands feature quantity generation unit for generating a difference-between-hands feature quantity which represents a difference in respective finger movement tasks between both hands, based on the respective movement waveforms of both hands.
DEMENTIA PREDICTION DEVICE, PREDICTION MODEL GENERATION DEVICE, AND DEMENTIA PREDICTION PROGRAM
A relationship index value computation unit 100A that extracts n words from m texts representing contents of free conversations conducted by m patients whose severity of dementia is known, and computes a relationship index value reflecting a relationship between the m texts and the n words, a prediction model generation unit 14A that generates a prediction model for predicting severity of dementia based on a text index value group including n relationship index values for one text, and a dementia prediction unit 21A that predicts severity of dementia of a patient from a text subjected to prediction by applying the relationship index value computed by the relationship index value computation unit 100A from a text input by a prediction data input unit 20 to a prediction model are included, and severity of dementia can be predicted without performing a mini-mental state examination.
