A fluid mattress includes: a fluid supply unit capable of supplying a fluid; a fluid path to which the fluid is supplied from the fluid supply unit; a plurality of first cells connected to each other; a plurality of second cells connected to each other; a first solenoid valve including a first end connected to the plurality of first cells and a second end connected to the fluid path; a second solenoid valve including a first end connected to the plurality of second cells and a second end connected to the fluid path; an external solenoid valve including a first end connected to an outside and a second end connected to the fluid path; a pressure sensor that measures a pressure of the fluid in the fluid path; and a controller that receives input of a measurement result by the pressure sensor, and controls the fluid supply unit, the first solenoid valve, the second solenoid valve, and the external solenoid valve. The controller can implement a first mode in which a pressure in the second cell is set to be a first pressure, and a pressure in the first cell is set to be equal to or lower than a second pressure lower than the first pressure, and a second mode in which a pressure in the first cell is set to be the first pressure, and a pressure in the second cell is set to be equal to or lower than the second pressure. The controller, when implementing the second mode by shifting from the first mode, stops the fluid supply unit, causes the first solenoid valve to be in a closed state, causes the second solenoid valve and the external solenoid valve to be in an open state, determines the first pressure based on time during when a measurement value by the pressure sensor changes from a third pressure lower than the first pressure and higher than the second pressure to a fourth pressure lower than the third pressure and higher than the second pressure, and causes the first pressure to be higher as the time is longer.

An information processing system includes: a controller configured to set a condition for executing a notification processing related to a patient to a caregiver, the controller being configured to execute the notification processing if the condition is satisfied; and a display configured to display a setting screen used for setting of the notification processing by controlling the controller. The controller is configured to: obtain first information indicating a degree of loads needed for the caregiver to deal with notification processing on per-hospital ward basis, if the notification processing is executed, and obtain second information indicating a degree of allowable loads, based on third information indicating a target time in dealing with the notification processing and the number of the caregivers to deal with the notification processing, and the display is configured to display information indicating the relationship between the first information and the second information in the setting screen.

An information processing device including a processor configured to perform a first processing related to a position of at least one of a person and an object around the person using a positioning application and perform a second processing to determine an amount of food eaten by the person using a meal application, wherein the processor is configured to change an operation mode of the positioning application from a first mode to a second mode with a higher processing load of the positioning application than the first mode if the meal application determines at least one of the amount of the food or an amount of nutrients is insufficient.

An information processing apparatus includes a housing in which a distance sensor is placed, fittings attaching the housing to a toilet bowl in a toilet, and a control unit. The sensor measures the distance to an object located in a direction of the inside of a toilet seat installed on the bowl when the seat is placed on the top surface of a rim of the bowl. The control unit detects that a user of the toilet is in a state of sitting on the seat when a first distance being a result of measurement by the sensor is less than a predetermined threshold value. The fittings are components attaching the housing in such a way that the sensor is placed at a position located inside the rim and located under the seat in the vertical direction when the seat is placed on the top surface of the rim.

The information processing device includes a factor determination unit configured to determine whether the behavior of an assisted person is an abnormal behavior of a dementia factor based on (1) information on a dementia level of the assisted person and (2) at least one of an environmental information, an excretion information, and a sleep information of the assisted person, and a support information output unit configured to output the support information to support an assistance of the assisted person by a caregiver based on the determination result of the factor determination unit and sensor information that is a sensing result about the assisted person or the caregiver assisting the assisted person.

A detection apparatus includes a biosignal acquisition unit configured to acquire a biosignal of a user, and a controller. The controller is configured to calculate one or more parameter values related to breathing of the user based on the biosignal acquired from the biosignal acquisition unit, and detect a presence of a symptom of aggravation of cardiac failure in the user when a calculated parameter value in which a cumulative value of previous day difference data has exceeded a predetermined threshold is present, among the calculated parameter values.
