Abstract: A planning device acquires, for each state identified by a value of one or more items correlated with a health-level-evaluation-index value, a feasibility evaluation index value quantitatively indicating feasibility of the state. The planning device acquires a health-level-evaluation-index value for each state. The planning device searches for a path from an initial state to a target state in a plan using an evaluation value for a path involving one or more state transitions. The evaluation value is calculated using evaluation values for individual state transitions, each of which indicates, as an evaluation for a single state transition from a transition-source state to a transition-destination state, a better evaluation where the transition-destination state has higher feasibility and also indicates a better evaluation where the health-level-evaluation-index value in the transition-destination state shows a better evaluation relative to the health-level-evaluation-index value in the transition-source state.
