  • Publication number: 20240008804
    Abstract: A body fluid volume estimation device includes a pre-training unit, a transfer learning unit, and an estimation unit. The pre-training unit performs pre-training by using, as supervised information, information indicating body fluid volumes of the multiple patients when face images of multiple patients are captured. The transfer learning unit further performs transfer learning on multiple face images of one specific patient after the pre-training, and constructs a trained model. The estimation unit estimates, by inputting a face image of the one specific patient to the trained model, a body fluid volume at a point in time at which the face image of the one specific patient is captured. By estimating a body fluid volume from a face image by machine learning, the body fluid volume can be used for assistance such as decision making of a user.

  • Publication number: 20220370009
    Abstract: The stress estimation device acquires the awakening degree of the subject and calculates the feature amount of the acquired awakening degree. The feature amount of the awakening degree is, for example, a ratio at which the temporal change of the awakening degree is within a predetermined range, information defining a histogram showing the distribution of the temporal change of the awakening degree, and the like. Then, the stress estimation device estimates the stress from the calculated feature amount using the stress model.

  • Publication number: 20220167915
    Abstract: A stress estimation apparatus 1 acquires a biosignal of a measurement subject, which includes acceleration information of an action of at least one part of the measurement subject. A moving average is calculated from the acceleration information included in the acquired biosignal, and a threshold of an activity state of the measurement subject is calculated from the calculated moving average. Then, an activity state in a specific period is identified from the calculated moving average and the calculated threshold. Per-activity state data is generated by categorizing chronological data pieces of the acquired biosignal other than the acceleration information by identified activity state, and stress is estimated from the generated per-activity state data.

  • Publication number: 20220160243
    Abstract: A pulse determination apparatus determines a pulse rate of a person to be measured, determines whether the person to be measured is in a first state in which a pacemaker attached to the person to be measured is operating, a second state in which the pacemaker attached to the person to be measured is not operating, or a third state in which the person to be measured does not wear the pacemaker, based on variation of the pulse rate, and determines whether the pulse of the person to be measured is normal. The pulse determination apparatus does not make a determination, when it is determined that the person to be measured is in the first state, and the pulse determination apparatus makes the determination based on the pulse rate, when it is determined that the person to be measured is in the second state or the third state.
