PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To further accurately suppress incontinence of a patient by taking account of a patients condition as one aspect.SOLUTION: An incontinence suppression apparatus 40 extracts patterns of feature amounts representing common change tendencies when a patient has incontinence for each different condition of the patient classified by a specific feature amount out of a plurality of feature amounts on the basis of the plurality of feature amounts representing biological activities of the patient. Further, the incontinence suppression apparatus 40 estimates incontinence of the patient on the basis of the condition of the patient and the change tendencies of the feature amounts represented by the patterns according to the conditions, and, when estimating the incontinence of the patient, outputs an alert.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】一つの側面として、患者の状態を考慮することで、患者の失禁をより精度良く抑制する。【解決手段】失禁抑制装置40は、患者の生体活動を示す複数の特徴量に基づき、複数の特徴量のうち、特定の特徴量によって区別できる患者の異なる状態毎に、患者が失禁する際に共通する変化傾向を示す特徴量のパターンを抽出する。また、失禁抑制装置40は、患者の状態、及び当該状態に応じたパターンが示す特徴量の変化傾向に基づいて、患者の失禁を予測し、患者の失禁を予測した場合に、警告を出力する。【選択図】図1
