  • Publication number: 20260188511
    Abstract: In order to feed back the risk of degradation of a quality of sleep to a subject, in a risk prediction device, a processor acquires a life log from the subject terminal, the life log including quality-of-sleep information and lifestyle information. The processor creates a life map representing a tendency of a lifestyle in a coordinate space having lifestyle-related parameters, and estimates a latest state by calculating the lifestyle-related parameters and mapping the latest state in the life map. The processor predicts a risk of degradation of quality, based on a positional relationship between a position of the latest state and a region in the life map, and provides feedback if the risk is equal to or more than a threshold. the subject terminal displays an alert and a recommended action to reduce the risk. Accordingly, it is possible to supports users in making decisions concerning their sleep.

  • Publication number: 20260128179
    Abstract: A long-term state transition is estimated in consideration of variations among individuals. A state transition estimation device acquires a first feature vector of a first individual in a first age range, a second feature vector of a second individual in a second age range, and individual data of the first individual, generates a latent vector representing variation between the first individuals from the individual data, performs mapping to an estimated feature vector in a case where the first individual falls within a second age range by using the latent vector, updates a mapping parameter so that the mapping approaches optimal transport from a probability distribution of the first feature vector to a probability distribution of the second feature vector, and estimates a probability distribution of the estimated feature vector in a case where the individual in the first age range falls within the second age range.

  • Publication number: 20260057266
    Abstract: A data estimation device includes an acquisition unit, a stratification unit, an estimation unit, and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires data sets including pieces of data indicating mutually different probability distributions and an attribute used for stratification of the data sets. The stratification unit stratifies the data sets based on the attribute. The estimation unit estimates a state transition probability between the data sets after the stratification based on a difference in distribution between a state transition probability between the data sets before the stratification and a state transition probability between the data sets stratified for each of the attributes. The output unit outputs the state transition probability between the data sets after the stratification. The use of the state transition probability estimated in this manner enables the data estimation device to support decision making based on an estimation result of a transition destination of data.

  • Publication number: 20260051411
    Abstract: The data estimation device includes an acquisition unit, an estimation unit, and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires health-related data of each person of different age groups. The estimation unit estimates the transition destination of the health-related data of the target person in a case where the age of the target person in the first age group becomes the second age group. The output unit outputs health-related data in a case where the age of the target person has increased based on the estimation result of the transition destination. With such a configuration, the data estimation device can support decision making related to a future health condition.

  • Publication number: 20220316965
    Abstract: A pressure sensitive element (110) is located on an upper surface side of a substrate (100), and includes a pressure sensitive layer (114). When the pressure sensitive layer (114) is deformed, an electrical characteristic of the pressure sensitive layer (114) changes. For example, resistance of the pressure sensitive layer (114) changes by deformation. A deformation layer (120) faces the substrate (100) with a plurality of the pressure sensitive layers (114) in between, is deformable in a thickness direction, and includes a plurality of protrusions and recesses. An average value Pi of center-to-center distances of a plurality of protrusions of the deformation layer (120) is equal to or more than one time of a center-to-center distance Po of the pressure sensitive layers (114).
