Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a health status estimation system.

In recent years, with the declining birthrate and aging of society, there has been an increasing need for pets that can only be kept indoors. Indoor pets include cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. Small birds are especially easy to raise, and many people choose them as pets. However, small birds are small and delicate, so if the disease is detected too late, it can be fatal.
For this reason, it is necessary to consider the viewpoint of so-called preventive medicine, which is how to raise animals so that diseases can be prevented or detected early. By raising birds based on preventive medicine, it is possible to improve the survival rate of birds and extend their lifespans.

Preventive medicine is envisioned to be implemented in three stages. Primary prevention involves preventing illness through nutritional management and moderate exercise. Secondary prevention promotes early detection and early treatment of diseases by understanding changes in daily conditions and conducting regular health checkups. Tertiary prevention involves measures such as medication and rehabilitation to stop or reduce the progression of a disease in cases where the patient has already contracted the disease.
Applying this to pets, for example birds, primary prevention involves managing the breeding environment, controlling the amount of food eaten based on weight measurements, and making the bird less likely to get sick by having it lead a regular lifestyle tailored to the bird. It is. Secondary prevention involves early detection of diseases through daily weight management, understanding changes in the appearance of excrement, and health checkups at veterinary hospitals. In other words, it is possible to detect signs of illness by monitoring daily weight management and changes in the appearance of excrement. Tertiary prevention also includes treatment at a veterinary hospital.

From the perspective of preventive medicine, the treatments that veterinary hospitals are involved in are the ones that involve professionals, such as veterinarians, and are generally appropriate. On the other hand, primary prevention and secondary prevention, in particular, are carried out independently by the pet owner, and are sometimes difficult to handle. For example, dietary management in primary prevention involves adjusting the amount of food given by the owner. However, the appropriate amount of food varies depending on the bird being raised, and also depends on the bird's daily physical condition. Therefore, it is difficult to feed them an appropriate amount of food every day.

Furthermore, daily changes can be ascertained by measuring, for example, body weight, but not all owners are able to easily measure body weight. That is, it is impossible to measure the weight of the target bird if it is not possible to grasp it, or it is preferable to measure the weight when the bird is in a hungry state, but it is difficult to grasp the bird's hungry state.
Additionally, even if weight measurements can be performed, the birds may be under stress. On the other hand, it is necessary for the owner to constantly record the measurement results and present them to a veterinarian or the like as necessary, and it may be a burden to do this appropriately.
Among pets, for example, a technique described in Patent Document 1 below has been disclosed as a monitoring method for monitoring the activity status of cats, for example.

International Publication No. 2021/014588

However, the server that provides the service for acquiring animal behavior information disclosed in Patent Document 1 sends cat behavior data to the user terminal, but the animal's behavior is determined by the breeding environment and user (owner) habits. information provided by behavioral data may not necessarily contribute to primary prevention.

In addition, the behavioral data is obtained by attaching a sensor to the cat, but apart from the case of somewhat large animals such as cats and dogs, it is difficult to obtain the behavioral data for small animals, especially small birds, compared to the size of the animal. This may result in sensors that are too large, leading to behavioral inhibition. Suppression of behavior is not appropriate from the perspective of obtaining accurate behavioral data, and wearing sensors may also harm health.
Furthermore, the information shown by behavioral data is considered to be only an indirect indicator compared to the information obtained by directly measuring the animal's body, and the accuracy of the information required when considering whether or not the animal is sick. may not be sufficient.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and the purpose of the present invention is to use not only sensor data such as measuring the weight of an object to be measured using a sensor, but also information from users etc. that cannot be grasped by the sensor. By estimating the health status of the measured object and notifying users of the estimated health status of the measured object in various ways, the system helps users carry out primary prevention and smoothly transition to secondary prevention. The present invention provides a health status estimation system that can contribute to the health status estimation system.

The health condition estimation system in the embodiment includes a user information terminal used by a user who breeds the object to be measured, a medical information terminal used by a medical institution that diagnoses and treats the object to be measured, and information regarding the state of the object to be measured. and a server that receives access from a user information terminal or a medical information terminal, and the server is acquired by a measurement device that measures the state of the measurement object used by the user when breeding the measurement object. An information acquisition unit that acquires measurable sensor data regarding the measurement target and non-sensor data regarding the measurement target from users or medical institutions, and a measurement target using the sensor data and non-sensor data acquired by the information acquisition unit. A calculation unit that calculates the feature amount regarding the object and estimates the health state of the measurement target object.

Since the present invention adopts such a configuration, it is possible to estimate the health status of the object to be measured using not only sensor data such as measuring the weight of the object, but also information from the user etc. that cannot be grasped by the sensor. At the same time, by notifying the user of the estimated health status of the object to be measured in various forms, it is possible to contribute to the user's implementation of primary prevention and smooth transition to secondary prevention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[Configuration of health status estimation system]
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing the overall configuration of a health condition estimation system S according to an embodiment of the present invention. The health condition estimation system S is configured by, for example, connecting each device that constitutes the health condition estimation system S to an information communication network N such as the Internet.
In this way, the health state estimation system S connected to the information communication network N in FIG. information terminal 1"), a medical information terminal 2, a server 3, and two measuring devices 4A and 4B (hereinafter, when the measuring devices 4A and 4B are collectively expressed, they will be referred to as "measuring device 4" as appropriate. ).
The user information terminal 1 is an information terminal used by a person who breeds an animal (pet) that is a measurement target (hereinafter, such a person will be referred to as a "user" as appropriate), and is used to input information about the measurement target. Alternatively, it is used to obtain and display information regarding the health status of the measurement target.

In FIG. 1, each user information terminal 1A, 1B is shown in a different form. This is because the user information terminal 1 used differs depending on the person who breeds the object to be measured. In the case of a zoo or pet shop where a large number of objects to be measured are kept, for example, a personal computer or a tablet installed in an office or the like is used as the user information terminal 1A. On the other hand, if the pet owner is an individual, for example, it is assumed that the user information terminal 1B, which is a portable information terminal such as a smartphone, is used.

In this way, the user information terminal 1 used by the user can take various forms. Further, although not shown in FIG. 1, it is also possible to employ, as the user information terminal 1, a device that is used not in a form held by the user but in a state that is worn on the body (wearable), for example. As described above, the user information terminal 1 can take various forms, but all have the same functions and configurations. This point will be discussed later.

Next, the medical information terminal 2 is an information terminal used by, for example, a veterinarian or an animal hospital (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "medical-related institution"). The medical information terminal 2 is used, for example, to input information about the object to be measured, or to obtain and display information regarding the health condition of the object to be measured, provided that permission is obtained from the user.
Although only one medical information terminal 2 is shown in the health state estimation system S shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of medical information terminals 2 may of course be connected. Further, as in the case of the user information terminal 1, various forms can be adopted for the medical information terminal 2.

Note that the user information terminal 1 and the medical information terminal 2 are devices such as portable information terminals such as smartphones, or personal computers, as described above. Therefore, at least an input section through which users and medical institutions can input information, a display section through which various information such as estimated health conditions can be viewed, and information transmitted through the information communication network N are provided. The other configurations are arbitrary as long as a communication control unit that can exchange the information is provided. Therefore, detailed explanations of the internal configurations of these devices will be omitted here.

The server 3 stores various information regarding the object to be measured, and estimates the health state of the object to be measured based on the stored information. Although only one server 3 is shown in the health state estimation system S shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of servers 3 may be connected and, for example, a server 3 to be used may be assigned to each user or medical institution. good.
The measuring device 4 is a device that measures and obtains various information regarding the object to be measured. The measuring device 4 is installed and used in, for example, a cage, and can be used with any object to be measured, such as a warm-blooded animal or a cold-blooded animal. In this way, the measurement device 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention can use various animals as the measurement target, but in the following description, a bird will be taken as an example of the measurement target.

In addition, although FIG. 1 shows a state in which a user information terminal 1, a medical information terminal 2, a server 3, and a measuring device 4 are connected to the information communication network N, there are other devices other than these devices. It doesn't matter if the device is connected.
Moreover, in the health state estimation system S shown in FIG. 1, the medical information terminal 2, the server 3, and the measuring device 4A are each shown connected to the information communication network N by a solid line. This indicates that the medical information terminal 2, the server 3, and the measuring device 4A are each connected to the information communication network N by wire. On the other hand, the user information terminal 1 and the measuring device 4B are each wirelessly connected to the information communication network N. However, the connection of each device to the information communication network N may be wired or wireless.

[Configuration of measuring device]
First, details of the measuring device 4 will be explained using the drawings. FIG. 2 is an overall view showing a state in which the measuring device 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to the cage C. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the measuring device 4 is installed on the left side of the cage C when the cage C is viewed from the front.
In this way, the measuring device 4 in the embodiment of the present invention is a device for measuring the weight of the bird in the cage C, which is the object to be measured, and measures the weight of the bird when it perches on a perch. It is something to be measured. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange perches inside the cage C so that the birds can easily perch on them. Therefore, the measuring device 4 shown in FIG. 2 includes a perch, and is attached to the grid of the cage C using hooks F and latches L so that the perch is located inside the cage C.

Here, the hook F attached to the top surface of the measuring device 4 is hooked to the upper grid of the cage C, and the hook F attached to the bottom surface of the measuring device 4 is hooked to the side grid of the cage C using the screws forming the latch L. It is fixed. However, the measuring device 4 may be installed in the cage C in any manner as long as the measuring method of the measuring device 4 in the embodiment of the present invention as described above can be maintained. Furthermore, when the measuring device 4 is placed on the same surface as the bottom surface of the cage C or on the top surface of the cage C, for example, it is not necessary to fix the measuring device 4 to the cage C using a hook F or the like. .

In the measuring device 4 shown in FIG. 2, various devices for measuring the weight of a bird, which is an object to be measured, are housed inside an outer box 41. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the measuring device 4 in the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 3, the measuring device 4 includes an outer box 41, a weight sensor 42, and a control device 43. Further, an output mechanism 44, an environment measurement sensor 45, and a storage device 46 are also provided. Further, one end of a measuring rod 5 as shown in FIG. 2 is connected to the weight sensor 42, and a perch 7 is connected to the other end via a perch connector 6.

The outer box 41 of the measuring device 4 in the embodiment of the present invention accommodates a weight sensor 42, a control device 43, an output mechanism 44, an environment measurement sensor 45, and a storage device 46 therein. Regarding the measuring rod 5, one end that contacts the weight sensor 42 is arranged inside the outer box 41, and the other end that is connected to the perch 7 projects outside from the outer box 41.
A weight sensor 42 is connected to one end of the measuring rod 5. When a bird stops on the other end of the measuring rod 5, the weight sensor 42 measures the weight of the bird. The weight sensor 42 is a sensor for measuring the weight of a bird perched on the perch 7 (weighing rod 5), and can be measured using any suitable method as long as it can appropriately measure the weight of the bird that is the object to be measured. Different types of sensors may be used.

The control device 43 integrates various controls necessary for the operation of the measuring device 4, such as calculating the weight of the bird based on the measurement results measured by the weight sensor 42, exchanging signals with each sensor described later, and error processing. Do it on purpose.
The output mechanism 44 is a mechanism that outputs, to the outside of the measuring device 4, a measured value of the weight of the bird, which is the object to be measured, measured by the measuring device 4, and a value measured by an environmental measurement sensor 45, which will be described later. That is, information on the measured value is transmitted from the output mechanism 44 to the server 3. The output mechanism 44 includes either a wireless adapter or a wired adapter, or both.

The environment measurement sensor 45 is a sensor for measuring the environmental state in which the object to be measured is placed, that is, the breeding environment for birds. Since some objects to be measured are greatly affected by the environment in which they are placed (for example, in the case of birds, the environment in which cage C is placed), this information is also referred to when estimating the health state.
The environmental state to be measured may include, for example, at least one of temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. As the environment measurement sensor 45, sensors such as a sensor for measuring air temperature may be configured as separate and independent sensors, or they may be combined as the environment measurement sensor 45 like the measurement device 4 in the embodiment of the present invention. It may be configured as one sensor. It may also be possible to measure environmental conditions other than temperature and the like.

Other examples of the environment measurement sensor 45 include devices such as microphones and cameras that are used to measure the condition of the bird, which is the measurement target. For example, bird excrement can be photographed with a camera to obtain information on the condition of the excrement.
In addition, information acquired by each sensor, such as the bird's weight value measured by the weight sensor 42 and values related to environmental conditions measured by the environmental measurement sensor 45, will be collectively referred to as "sensor data" below as appropriate.

The storage device 46 is composed of, for example, a semiconductor or a magnetic disk, and stores therein measurement results measured by the weight sensor 42, programs and data executed by the control device 43, calculated measurement values, and the like. The various data may be stored in a file format or in a table format.
Note that the embodiment of the present invention is based on the premise that a storage device 46 is provided in the measuring device 4. However, the measuring device 4 may be connected to an external storage medium such as the server 3 or a hard disk drive (HDD (Hard Disc Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive) (not shown)) via the output mechanism 44 regardless of whether it is wireless or wired. It may also be used as a storage device 46.
Further, here, it is assumed that various programs, data, measurement results, measurement values, etc. are all stored in one storage device 46. However, it is also possible to provide a plurality of storage devices 46 and store various programs, data, measured values, etc. separately.

The weighing rod 5 is a rod on which a bird is placed when measuring the weight of the object to be measured. That is, the birds kept in the cage C can freely move within the cage C. However, catching a bird in order to measure its weight may cause stress to the bird, as described above. Additionally, it may be difficult for the user to catch a bird. Therefore, in the measuring device 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a measuring rod 5 is provided for stopping (mounting) the bird in the cage C, and the weight of the bird is measured periodically, including when the bird stops on the measuring rod 5. I am planning to do so.

In addition, the reason for collecting information on the bird's weight on a regular basis is to measure it every time the bird perches on the weighing rod 5 (perch 7). This is because data cannot be collected if the robot remains stationary. In this way, the measuring device 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention continues to periodically measure even when the bird is on the perch 7 and does not get off, and the movement of the bird on the perch 7 is quantified as "dispersion". . Note that the "dispersion" here refers to the measurement displacement that occurs when the bird flaps its wings or jumps on the perch 7, and is, for example, 10 times or more larger than the measurement variation of the weight sensor 42 itself. There is.

To make it easier for birds to perch, a perch 7 for birds to perch is connected to the other end of the measuring rod 5. The reason why birds are not allowed to perch directly on the measuring rod 5 is that the appropriate type and shape of perch differs depending on the bird species.
Therefore, for example, if a perch 7 that birds are accustomed to perching is provided in the cage C, the birds can also perch on the perch 7 with less stress, and their weight can be easily measured.

On the other hand, even if a bird perches on the perch 7, its weight cannot be measured unless it is connected to the measuring device 4. Therefore, the measuring rod 5 and the perch 7 are connected by connecting the measuring rod 5 and the perch 7 to the perch connector 6, respectively. By doing this, the weight of the bird perched on the perch 7 can be measured with the measuring rod 5 (measuring device 4).
In this way, one end of the perch connector 6 is connected to the measuring rod 5, and the other end is connected to the perch 7. A screw for connecting with the measuring rod 5 and the perch 7 is formed at both ends of the perch connector 6 in the embodiment of the present invention.
That is, by screwing the measuring rod 5 and the perch 7 into screws formed at both ends of the perch connector 6, the weight of the bird in the cage C can be measured by the weight sensor 42.

The perch connector 6 is provided with a narrow diameter portion 61 continuous to a screw for connecting with the measuring rod 5. In other words, the narrow diameter portion 61 is formed to be thinner than the diameter of one threaded end.
By providing a region with a narrow diameter in the perch connector 6 in this manner, for example, when an overload is applied to the perch 7, the narrow diameter portion 61 will be damaged first. Therefore, it is possible to avoid damage to equipment such as the measuring rod 5 or the weight sensor 42 to which the measuring rod 5 is connected.
Further, the perch connector 6 is provided with a perch receiver 62 between the thin diameter portion 61 and a screw formed for connection with the perch 7 on the other end side. As described above, by screwing the perch 7 into the screw formed at the other end of the perch connector 6, both are fixed.

However, since there are tolerances for the screws, for example, if the perch 7 becomes long, there is a possibility that the part connecting the perch connector 6 and the perch 7 will wobble. If the perch 7 wobbles, some birds may be light in weight to begin with, and in such cases, a non-negligible effect may occur when measuring minute changes in body weight.
Therefore, when connecting the perch 7 to the perch connector 6, the end of the perch 7 is screwed into the perch connector 6 so as to be pressed against the perch receiver 62 and fixed. By pressing the perch 7 against the perch receiver 62, wobbling in the connection portion between the perch connector 6 and the perch 7 can be suppressed.

By forming the perch connector 6 in such a shape, the weight value of the bird can be measured more accurately. Although the perch receiver 62 of the perch connector 6 shown in FIG. 2 is formed larger than the diameter of the perch 7, the size can be set arbitrarily as long as the perch 7 can be pressed against it. be able to.
When obtaining feature quantities from the weight sensor 42 that are necessary for estimating a health condition, which will be described later, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the evaluation value by removing measurement-derived artifacts such as noise from the raw data. As one means of reducing artifacts, the hardware side adopts the perch connector 6 having the above-described structure.
Furthermore, the explanation here is based on the assumption that the perch connector 6 has a male-male shape in which both one end and the other end are inserted into the measuring rod 5 or the perch 7. . However, for example, it is also possible to adopt a shape in which one or both of the one end side and the other end side is female.

[Server configuration]
Next, the internal configuration of the server 3 will be explained. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the server 3 in the embodiment of the present invention. The server 3 includes an information acquisition section 31, a storage section 32, a communication control section 33, a calculation section 34, an output section 35, and a control section 36, and these sections exchange information with each other via a bus B. It is possible to carry out exchanges.
The information acquisition unit 31 acquires sensor data such as the weight value of the bird, which is transmitted from the output mechanism 44 to the server 3 and is measured by the weight sensor 42 or the like of the measuring device 4 . When acquiring sensor data, for example, sensor data stored in the storage device 46 of the measuring device 4 may be received at any time, or may be periodically received at predetermined times. .

In addition, the information acquisition unit 31 provides information (hereinafter referred to as such information) that cannot be acquired by various sensors, such as the type, name, and sex of the animal being kept, regarding the bird that is the object to be measured by the user or medical institutions. information (referred to as "non-sensor data") is also obtained. In addition, the information acquisition unit 31 obtains information provided by medical institutions as non-sensor data, such as the so-called body condition score, such as the shape of muscles determined from the feel of a bird when touched. It's okay.
Therefore, the non-sensor data is transmitted to the server 3 from, for example, a user information terminal 1 used by a user or a medical information terminal 2 used by a medical institution.

FIG. 5 is a screen example showing an example of a screen displayed on the user information terminal 1 or the medical information terminal 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and particularly shows a screen example of a non-sensor data input screen. .
Regarding the input of the non-sensor data shown in FIG. 5, it is sufficient to input it once, for example, when starting to use the health state estimation system S including the server 3. In addition, the user only needs to input the information each time the number of animals raised increases. Note that since the health condition is estimated for each individual animal, such as one bird or one animal, non-sensor data is also input for each individual animal.

First, "name setting" is the name of the measuring device 4 that acquires sensor data of the measurement target. This name setting item is provided because some users may raise multiple birds, and in this case, the cage C and measuring device 4 are different for each individual bird. Therefore, by assigning a different name to each measuring device 4, it becomes possible to link the measuring device 4 and the birds kept in captivity.
If the user is raising multiple birds, press the pull-down menu provided in the name column of the measuring device 4 shown at the top of "Name Settings" to set the settings for each bird. You can access information about each bird by selecting its name.

Next is the "family hospital ID" column. This field is used when the user has a medical institution that he or she cares for and allows the medical institution to view the estimated health status of the bird being raised. When a user accesses the server 3 using the user information terminal 1, the user specifies an affiliated medical institution in his/her own account, and the specified medical institution is stored in the server 3. It is possible to access sensor data or non-sensor data held by the user.
That is, when a family medical institution is specified in this column, the specified medical institution can access the health status of the bird that is the object of measurement by the measuring device 4.

By specifying a medical institution in the "family hospital ID", information can be shared with the user. In other words, weight information is important when grasping the bird's health condition, but as mentioned above, it is often difficult for users to accurately grasp weight information, and medical If institutions can also grasp information on the weight of birds measured by the weight sensor 42, they can provide more appropriate medical care.
In other words, when the user visits a medical institution, it is possible to omit weight measurement at the medical institution and a hearing regarding the weight with the user, and communication regarding treatment policies, etc. between the user and the medical institution can be omitted. You can devote more time.

For example, medical institutions can determine the amount of medicine to be prescribed by looking at the degree of change in a bird's weight. It is also possible to follow up on the effects of treatment on birds by checking changes in body weight after diagnosis and drug prescription. In addition, by sequentially checking the weight information of birds that do not visit a medical institution, for example, users who raise birds whose weight values are rapidly changing can be encouraged to consult a doctor, thereby ensuring smoother follow-up care. It can lead to prevention and tertiary prevention.

Conversely, by specifying a medical institution as a user, the above-mentioned non-sensor data such as the bird's condition and texture obtained during diagnosis can be sent from the medical information terminal 2 to the server 3. , the server 3 (computation unit 34) can use the received information from the medical information terminal 2 to estimate the health condition.
Therefore, if a medical institution is not specified in this column, the estimation result of the health condition will be notified only to the user, and the estimation result will not be obtained even if the user is a personal medical institution. Furthermore, it is also not possible to send non-sensor data from the medical information terminal 2 to the server 3.

The "target weight setting" item is an item that the user sets after consulting with a medical institution. By setting the target weight, it is possible to understand the difference between the target weight value, which is sensor data important in estimating the health condition, and the measured weight value.
Next, as the "bird settings", the "name", "bird species", "sex", and "year of birth" can be set respectively. Each of these items is attribute information of the bird whose health condition is estimated and corresponds to non-sensor data.
By clicking the "Register" button displayed at the bottom right, the non-sensor data regarding the bird measured by the measuring device 4 is registered. Note that non-sensor data includes not only the items shown in Figure 5, but also body condition scores as described above, information obtained by users and medical institutions observing birds, etc. Regarding these non-sensor data, It can be entered from another screen.

The storage unit 32 is composed of, for example, a semiconductor or a magnetic disk, and stores sensor data transmitted from the measuring device 4 and a program executed by the control unit 36, for example, for estimating the health condition of the bird. Ru. The various data may be stored in a file format or in a table format. Further, as described above, the storage unit 32 may function as a substitute for the storage device 46 of the measurement device 4.
The communication control unit 33 is a means such as a LAN card or a modem, and is a means that enables the server 3 to be connected to an information communication network N such as the Internet or a LAN. Data transmitted/received to/from the information communication network N via the communication control section 33 is transmitted/received to/from the control section 36 via the bus B as an input signal or an output signal. Note that the standard regarding information exchanged with other devices via the communication control unit 33 and the information communication network N may be any standard.

The communication control unit 33 connects the server 3 to the information communication network N, and exchanges information necessary for estimating the health state of the measurement object with devices connected to the information communication network N. Specifically, sensor data from the measuring device 4 and non-sensor data from the user information terminal 1, etc. are acquired, and the estimated result of the health condition is transmitted to the user information terminal 1, etc. Therefore, the communication control section 33 controls the information acquisition section 31 and the output section 35, which will be described later.
The calculation unit 34 estimates the health condition of the target bird using the sensor data and non-sensor data acquired via the information acquisition unit 31. In the embodiment of the present invention, sensor data and non-sensor data are input into a mathematical model stored in advance in the storage unit 32 to estimate the health state.

Here, the mathematical model is generated in advance and stored in the storage unit 32 of the server 3. The mathematical model is generated by calculating feature amounts based on sensor data and non-sensor data acquired in the past, applying the feature amounts to teacher data, and performing machine learning.
Since it is assumed here that a mathematical model generated in advance is used, the learning function of the mathematical model as a function of the server 3 is not illustrated in the internal configuration of the server 3 shown in FIG. Further, a mathematical model generated in a device other than the server 3 can be stored in the storage unit 32, and the calculation unit 34 can use the mathematical model.

Moreover, a known method can be adopted as a method for generating a mathematical model. For example, it can be generated by training data that has been previously labeled as healthy or unhealthy using a decision tree algorithm commonly used in classification problems. In addition to the methods described above, the learning algorithm can be generated by using a regression method by expressing labeling as a numerical value of the degree of abnormality, or by clustering for the purpose of detecting differences in trends from past sensor data. It is also possible.
The calculation unit 34 estimates the bird's health status by, for example, calculating the feature amount from the sensor data and non-sensor data acquired by the server 3, and converting the feature amount into mathematical information stored in the storage unit 32, as described above. It is derived by inputting it into the model.

Here, the "feature amount" is information calculated by the calculation unit 34 and required for estimating the health state of the bird, and the health state can be estimated by inputting it into the mathematical model. The feature amounts are derived from both sensor data and non-sensor data. For example, regarding the weight value of a bird, which is one of the sensor data, the difference between the target weight value and the measured weight value is the feature amount.
The target weight value is a value that allows the bird to live a healthy life, and is set between a user who is the owner of the bird and a medical institution that determines the health condition of the bird. On the other hand, the measured weight value is the value measured by the weight sensor 42. When estimating the health status of a bird, it is important to know how much the target weight value differs from the current weight value (measured weight value), so the difference between the two is understood as a feature quantity. do.

Other feature quantities obtained from the weight sensor 42 include, for example, the deviation of the weight value measured when the bird perches on the perch 7 (standard deviation of sensor data), and the position of the bird on the perch 7. You can also list the movement speed and number of jumps that can be obtained based on information on whether the object is stationary or not. Furthermore, the sensor data also includes data acquired by the environment measurement sensor 45. For example, the larger the difference between the highest and lowest temperatures, the greater the impact on birds. Therefore, sensor data indicating the environmental conditions in which the birds are kept, such as information regarding temperature, is also required as a feature quantity.

On the other hand, non-sensor data may include, for example, data regarding the type, sex, age, etc. of the bird. The non-sensor data is transmitted from the user or medical institutions via the user information terminal 1 or the like and stored in the storage unit 32, as described above.
Note that although the calculation unit 34 estimates the health state by inputting these various feature quantities into a mathematical model, the feature quantities themselves may not be used depending on the form of the mathematical model. That is, when a neural network is used as a mathematical model, the feature amounts are multiplied by a certain coefficient to perform so-called weighting, so the feature amounts themselves are not used. Therefore, although the input value is a feature quantity, it is not used as a feature quantity itself.

Also, what kind of data should be used as a feature? For example, if the feature can be expressed as a numerical value such as sensor data, use the average value or median value as the feature, or use some coefficient. The type of calculation to be performed in the calculation unit 34, such as using the value obtained using the calculation unit 34, can be set as appropriate. Furthermore, various mathematical models such as machine learning and neural networks can be used.
Then, the calculation unit 34 estimates the health condition based on the output results from the mathematical model based on the calculated feature amounts. Specifically, for example, a pre-symptomatic health state indicating an unhealthy state is digitized and calculated and presented to the user or medical institutions via the user information terminal 1 or the medical information terminal 2.

Alternatively, it is also possible to indicate the probability of being sick or not as a numerical value. Further, it is also possible to set a threshold value in advance as a standard for determining whether a person is sick or not, and to notify the user or medical institutions when the threshold value is exceeded.
Furthermore, the results of estimating the health condition (hereinafter referred to as "health evaluation results") can be presented in a display format specified by the user, for example. FIG. 6 is a screen example showing an example of a screen displayed on the user information terminal 1 or the medical information terminal 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention. It is one of the

At the top of the screen example shown in FIG. 6, the name of the measuring device 4 is shown. Since the display indicates the measuring device 4 that measured the weight value etc. of the bird whose health condition is to be estimated, the display indicates the bird whose health condition is to be estimated. .
A pull-down menu is also shown. This display is used, for example, when the user raises multiple birds and selects the bird whose health evaluation results are desired to be confirmed. In this case, by selecting the measuring device 4 displayed in the pull-down menu and clicking the "Execute Evaluation" button shown at the bottom right of the column, the health evaluation results for the selected bird will be displayed. be done.

In addition, as described above, if the user specifies the family medical institution in the "Family hospital ID" column, the medical institution can select the measurement device 4 displayed here as appropriate and select "Evaluation". By clicking the "Execute" button, it is possible to display the health evaluation results for the bird whose health condition you want to check.
That is, from the perspective of medical institutions, there are multiple users (those who raise birds that can become patients). Therefore, by displaying a list of users (measuring device 4) who have specified their own medical institutions in the pull-down menu and selecting the target bird (measuring device 4) from the pull-down menu, various information regarding the bird can be displayed. This makes it possible to access various information.

Note that instead of displaying the measuring device 4 to display the target of the health evaluation result in this way, the target of the health status estimation, such as the name of the bird, may be displayed more directly.
Below the display of the measuring device 4, there is provided a column for selecting the year and month in which the evaluation is desired. This column is a column indicating the month and year in which the health evaluation results transmitted from the server 3 were derived. However, users and medical institutions can display the health evaluation results for the year and month they wish to view by entering the year and month they wish to view the health evaluation results in this field and clicking the "Execute Evaluation" button. can.
A graph is displayed below the "Evaluation Year/Month" and "Evaluation Execution" columns. The health evaluation results shown in FIG. 6 show the distribution of measured weight values. That is, the vertical axis shows the weight value, the horizontal axis shows the date, and the weight value measured on each day is shown as a dot.

As mentioned above, the measuring device 4 measures the weight regularly, for example every 2 minutes, regardless of whether the bird stops on the perch 7 or not, so each measurement is indicated by one dot. . Looking at the graph in FIG. 6, although there are some values that vary widely, most of the values are clustered around a certain value.
Regarding the form of the graph, it is not a graph showing values for each measurement as shown in FIG. 6, but a graph showing processed values measured by the measuring device 4, such as the average value and median value of the day. You can also do it. Furthermore, the type of graph may be, for example, a line graph or a bar graph, or it may be a graph that displays changes in items other than body weight values.

A table is shown below the graph, with columns for "weight discrepancy", "activity level", "judgment", "actual situation", and "comment" for each day along with the date. It is being “Weight deviation degree” indicates the degree of deviation between the set target weight value and the weight value measured by the weight sensor 42. Further, from the degree of deviation, it is possible to infer, for example, whether the person is a little underweight or overweight, or the degree of estrus.
Although the "degree of weight discrepancy" is expressed as a percentage in the table shown in Figure 6, it is not limited to this type of expression; for example, it can be expressed using symbols such as "○" or "x". It may also be displayed using

"Activity level" indicates the vigor of the bird's movements based on the dispersion of weight measurement results. Positive values indicate more activity, and negative values indicate less activity. "Judgment" is shown as an estimated result of the health condition, and indicates the necessity of a health checkup. In the example screen shown in FIG. 6, "△" and "〇" are shown, and "〇" indicates that the person is healthy and does not need to undergo a medical checkup. On the other hand, "△" and "x" indicate that a medical checkup is necessary.
Note that when the display ``Insufficient'' is displayed, it indicates that the sensor data and non-sensor data required to perform the ``judgment'' are insufficient, and a health evaluation result has not been issued. In addition, here, the necessity of a health checkup is indicated by displaying "〇" or "△", but for example, it is also possible to indicate the necessity by a number, and how to display it is as follows. Can be set arbitrarily.

The "actual state" is displayed as a result of the health state estimation performed by the calculation unit 34. However, since these are only estimated results, these two fields, including the "comment" field, can be edited. Therefore, a user or a medical institution can input the results of actually observing birds. When editing, the user or medical institution clicks on the "Modify Table" button shown at the bottom right of the table after inputting the data to confirm the modification. The modified content is sent to the server 3.

The display of the health evaluation results explained using the screen example shown in FIG. 6 can also be displayed in another display mode. FIG. 7 is a screen example showing an example of a screen displayed on the user information terminal 1 or the medical information terminal 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and shows a display mode in a table format.
In the health evaluation results shown in FIG. 7, each item such as "weight value" and "activity level" for each day is expressed numerically and shown in a table format. However, in the table, the "body weight value" is the actual value measured by the measuring device 4. The "weight value" is displayed based on a pre-selected display mode, such as the average value, median value, or minimum weight value of the weight values measured on that day. .

The "activity level" is as described above, and the "image" column shows how much excrement is present, for example, based on image data of excrement acquired by a camera that is one of the environmental measurement sensors 45. It shows the degree of health. This degree of health is expressed, for example, as a numerical value, and the larger this numerical value is, the less healthy it is (the higher the degree of abnormality). Furthermore, by clicking on each numerical value, it may be possible to refer to the image data of the corresponding excrement.
A more specific example of image diagnosis is as follows. First, an image is acquired by a camera (environment measurement sensor 45) attached to the cage C, and the acquired image data is transmitted to the server 3 and stored in the storage section 32 of the server 3. When a user or the like issues an instruction to perform the evaluation, the calculation unit 34 extracts the corresponding image data from the image data stored in the storage unit 32, and extracts the excrement portion.

Then, a mathematical model is also acquired from the storage unit 32, and the calculation unit 34 inputs the intensity distribution of each pixel into the numerical model, and outputs the probability of being classified as unhealthy. Note that the mathematical model used here is created by performing machine learning in advance on images of healthy excrement and unhealthy excrement using, for example, a neural network.
Furthermore, regarding the "health level", "0" indicates that the person is healthy and there is no need for a medical checkup. On the other hand, for example, when "1" is displayed, it indicates that a medical checkup is necessary. "Abnormal" is an item that is displayed in relation to "health level", and if there is no abnormality, check "No check", and if there is any abnormality or there is a possibility of it, check is attached.
Note that the "Abnormality" column and the "Comment" column can be edited, and users and medical institutions can enter what they have noticed. After filling in, the filled-in contents are transmitted to the server 3 as described above, and the server 3 updates the health evaluation results.

FIG. 8 is a screen example showing an example of a screen displayed on the user information terminal 1 or the medical information terminal 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, which is first displayed after a user or a medical institution logs in. page, the so-called top page.
On the top page, sensor data indicating the latest information on the birds being raised is displayed. The reason for displaying the latest status of the bird on the top page is because it is of most interest to users and medical institutions. Users and medical institutions use this screen as an entry point to access a wide variety of information.

For example, two buttons are arranged at the top of the screen: "Past Data" and "Health Evaluation." These two buttons are links to "past data" or "health evaluation results," respectively, and by clicking the buttons, it becomes possible to access the corresponding page. Therefore, users and medical institutions can access the information they need with fewer clicks.
The "device selection" below is used, as described above, for the user to select the measuring device 4 when raising a plurality of birds, for example. On the other hand, in the case of a medical institution, it is used to select a user or a measuring device 4.

In the "minimum body weight value" column, the lowest body weight value of the day among the body weight values measured by the measuring device 4 is displayed. This is because in the case of birds, food may remain in the organ called ``so'', and to estimate the health condition more accurately, it is appropriate to use the weight value without food in the body. This is because it is thought that there are.
A graph is displayed below, with the vertical axis representing the weight value and the horizontal axis representing the date. The weight values of the birds measured by the weight sensor 42 are each indicated by a dot. In the graph, the target weight value is shown as a dotted line parallel to the horizontal axis. Also shown is a fitting curve that connects measurement values spanning multiple days.

By displaying the fitting curve, it is possible to understand daily changes in body weight. By displaying such a fitting curve and target weight value together with the actually measured weight value, it becomes easier for users and medical institutions to manage their weight.
In addition to the health evaluation results shown in Figures 6 and 7, users and medical institutions can also refer to such sensor data displays as appropriate to more accurately understand the condition of the birds they raise. I can do it.

The output unit 35 outputs the health evaluation result regarding the health condition obtained by the calculation unit 34 to the user information terminal 1 used by the user and the medical information terminal 2 used by medical institutions. The output unit 35 processes the health evaluation results into a display format selected by the user, such as a table or graph as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, for example, to the user information terminal 1. and send.
The timing at which the output unit 35 outputs the health evaluation results to the user information terminal 1 etc. can be arbitrarily set, such as periodically or when an acquisition request is received from the user or a medical institution. .
The control section 36 integrally controls each section of the server 3. For example, the control unit 36 controls the process of estimating the health status of the bird kept by the user in the calculation unit 34 based on instructions from the user via the information acquisition unit 33, and outputs the health evaluation results from the output unit 35 to the user information terminal. 1.

Regarding the control unit 36 shown in FIG. 4, although the configuration provided therein is not shown, a part of the configuration will be explained as follows. That is, the control unit 36 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory).
For example, the CPU reads and executes a boot program for starting the server 3 from the ROM based on an input signal from the information acquisition unit 31, and reads various operating systems stored in the storage unit 32.
Furthermore, the CPU reads programs and data stored in the RAM, the storage unit 32, etc., and loads them into the RAM, and based on commands of the program read out from the RAM, for example, the CPU determines the health status of the bird in the calculation unit 34. This is a processing device that implements a series of processes such as calculation and processing of data necessary to perform estimation processing.

Note that the control unit 36 in the embodiment of the present invention may further include a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) since it is necessary to execute machine learning processing in generating a mathematical model and the like.
Note that the description has been made on the assumption that the server 3 includes, for example, the calculation unit 34. That is, it is assumed that the calculation unit 34 uses a mathematical model stored in the storage unit 32, a predetermined memory, or the like to cause the processor to execute a program such as a health state estimation program.

Here, the word "processor" in this specification refers to, for example, a dedicated or general-purpose CPU (Central Processing Unit), an arithmetic circuit (circuitry), or an application specific integrated circuit (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). Circuit: ASIC), programmable logic device (For example, Simple Programmable Logic Device (SPLD), Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD), and Field Programmable Gate Array (Field Programmable Gate) Array: means a circuit such as FPGA).

The processor realizes its functions by reading and executing a program stored, for example, in the storage unit 32 or directly incorporated into the circuit of the processor. The storage unit that stores the program may be provided individually for each processor, or the configuration of the storage unit 32 shown in FIG. 4 may be adopted. As described above, for the configuration of the storage unit, for example, a general RAM (Random Access Memory) such as a semiconductor or a magnetic disk, a storage device such as an HDD, or an SSD is applied.
Furthermore, the function of the arithmetic unit 34 provided in the server 3 described above may be configured with the control unit 36 as a control circuit, and the control unit 36 may execute the function as a correction function. Furthermore, it is also possible to configure the function of the calculation section 34 as an individual calculation circuit, with the control section 36 as a control circuit. Furthermore, the storage device 46 included in the measuring device 4 may be configured as a storage circuit.

Next, the flow of processing for estimating the health status of birds by the server 3 will be explained. Here, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing for estimating health status in the embodiment of the present invention.
Note that the process flow shown in FIG. 5 merely shows the flow of one divided process in the server 3. Therefore, as long as the measuring device 4 measures sensor data such as the bird's weight, the process flow shown in FIG. 9 is repeatedly executed until the power is turned off.
First, the power of the measuring device 4 is turned on (ST1). Using this as a trigger, the control device 43 initializes the weight sensor 42 and the environment measurement sensor 45 (ST2). That is, the control device 43 executes tare processing and performs correction processing so that the values of each sensor indicate zero.

When the correction process in the control device 43 is completed, each sensor starts the measurement process. For example, the weight sensor 42 measures the weight applied to the measuring rod 5 (perch 7) every second (ST3).
Furthermore, the environment measurement sensor 45 obtains measurement results (environmental conditions) such as temperature (ST4). These acquired sensor data are transmitted to the server 3 via the output mechanism 44 (ST5), and in the server 3, the information acquisition unit 31 acquires the sensor data transmitted from the measuring device 4 (ST6).
It also acquires non-sensor data transmitted by the user from the user information terminal 1 or by a medical institution from the medical information terminal 2 (ST7). The received non-sensor data is stored in the storage unit 32.

Note that, for convenience of explanation, the server 3 is explained here to acquire non-sensor data after receiving sensor data; however, regarding acquisition of sensor data and non-sensor data, They may be acquired first or in parallel.
In this manner, the server 3 acquires sensor data transmitted from the measuring device 4 and non-sensor data from users and medical institutions and stores them in the storage unit 32. That is, it is determined whether there is an access to the server 3 from a user or a medical institution (ST8), and unless there is an access (NO in ST8), acquisition and storage of sensor data and non-sensor data are repeated.

On the other hand, when the communication control section 33 receives that a user or a medical institution has accessed the server 3 to obtain, for example, a health evaluation result (YES in ST8), the control section 36 allows the user or medical institution to Perform calculations based on instructions from related organizations.
The calculation unit 34 starts a health state estimation process using the sensor data transmitted from the measuring device 4 and the non-sensor data transmitted from the user or medical institutions. First, feature amounts are calculated using sensor data and non-sensor data acquisition (ST9).
Next, the calculated feature amount is inputted into the mathematical model stored by accessing the storage unit 32 (ST10), and the health condition is estimated (ST11). The estimated health condition is transmitted from the output unit 35 to the user information terminal 1 or the medical information terminal 2 as a health evaluation result (ST12). The user information terminal 1 or the medical information terminal 2 displays the estimated health status results sent from the server 3 (ST13).

According to at least one embodiment described above, the health state of the object to be measured is estimated using not only sensor data such as measurement of the object's weight, but also information from the user etc. that cannot be grasped by the sensor. At the same time, we will develop a health status estimation system that can help users carry out primary prevention and smoothly transition to secondary prevention by notifying users of the estimated health status of the measured object in various ways. can be provided.
That is, since the health evaluation result is derived using sensor data and non-sensor data, the user or medical institutions can accurately grasp the current health condition of the bird. Therefore, from the user's point of view, it is important to review the management necessary to prevent birds from getting sick, such as weight and breeding environment, or to visit a medical institution for a health check if there is some problem with the bird's health condition. You can obtain criteria for determining whether it is necessary.

In addition, from the perspective of medical institutions, in addition to obtaining health evaluation results, by referring to sensor data and non-sensor data, it is possible to combine the information with the information that the user has when visiting the medical institution. Since various information can be obtained, more appropriate medical care can be provided. Furthermore, since medication prescriptions are made with particular reference to changes in body weight, it is extremely useful to be able to access information on body weight, which is sensor data, and information on changes in body weight values.

Up to this point, the content to be notified to the user or medical institutions as a health evaluation result has been explained using the information shown in the screen examples shown in Figures 5 to 8 as an example. It is also possible to only notify related organizations by email and leave subsequent responses to the users or medical institutions.
Of course, even in this case, the health evaluation results are calculated by the calculation unit 34 and stored in the storage unit 32, so users and medical institutions can access the server 3 as appropriate to access necessary information. can.

For example, the measuring device 4 has adopted the configuration described above, measures the weight of the object to be measured, and transmits the weight to the server 3. However, if it is possible to make the weight information usable in the health status estimation system S, for example, the weight information measured by the user using a kitchen scale or the like can be used using the user information terminal 1. It is also possible to adopt a method in which the information is entered manually and transmitted to the server 3.
Additionally, as mentioned above, the process of calculating health evaluation results using sensor data and non-sensor data collected on the server 3 basically requires that the user or medical institution has accessed the server 3. is executed as a trigger. However, if it is recognized that there is an abnormality in the health evaluation results, or if any abnormality is recognized in the acquired data, the process of calculating the health evaluation results in the server 3 mentioned above may be performed constantly or at regular intervals. It is also possible to run it in
