PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a symptom which precedes extraction of an infusion needle.SOLUTION: A monitoring program makes a computer execute processing of: detecting a state of a monitoring target persons part into which an infusion needle is stuck, on the basis of an image obtained by imaging the monitoring target person detecting a state of a tube connected to the infusion needle, on the basis of the image determining probability of extraction of the infusion needle, on the basis of change in at least one of the detected state of the part into which the infusion needle is stuck and the state of the tube and outputting an alarm showing the probability of the extraction of the infusion needle, when it is determined that the infusion needle may be extracted.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 点滴針の抜去につながる兆候を検知することを目的とする。【解決手段】 監視対象者を撮影した画像に基づいて、監視対象者に点滴針が刺された箇所の状態を検出し、画像に基づいて、点滴針に接続された管の状態を検出し、検出された点滴針が刺された箇所の状態および管の状態の少なくとも一方の変化に基づいて点滴針の抜去の可能性の有無を判定し、点滴針の抜去の可能性があると判定された場合に、点滴針の抜去の可能性を示す警報を出力する、処理をコンピュータに実行させる。【選択図】 図1
