PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a symptom evaluation method, symptom evaluation system, and symptom evaluation program capable of highly accurately and simply performing an evaluation with objectivity and quantitativity and being applicable to a wide variety of diseases.SOLUTION: The symptom evaluation method includes: preliminarily preparing a symptom evaluation reference obtained by associating symptoms of disease with movement impairment, with analysis results of amounts of activity calculated based on consumed energy or the like of patients measuring the amount of activity by an activity meter carried by the patient and evaluating the symptom of the patient on the basis of the measured amount of activity and the symptom evaluation reference. Alternatively, the symptom evaluation method incudes: statistically analyzing the measured amount of activity and evaluating the symptom of the patient and a change therein. For instance, the symptom evaluation method determines whether or not the symptom is improved by presence/absence of medication or a type of curative medicine, or whether or not the patient is in a state of reduced activity due to the sleep disorder.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】客観性および定量性がある評価を精度良く簡便に行うことができ、幅広い疾患に適用可能な症状評価方法、症状評価システム、症状評価プログラムを提案すること。【解決手段】予め、動作障害がある疾患の症状と、患者の消費エネルギー等に基づいて算出される活動量の分析結果とを対応づけた症状評価基準を作成しておき、患者に携帯させた活動量計で活動量を計測し、計測した活動量および症状評価基準に基づいて、患者の症状を評価する。もしくは、計測した活動量を統計解析して、患者の症状やその変化を評価する。例えば、服薬の有無あるいは治療薬の種類によって症状が改善したか否か、あるいは、睡眠障害による活動低下状態か否かを判断する。【選択図】図3
