NEED DETERMINATION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a need determination system comprising a user interface (2) for allowing a person to input a current combination of a current subject, at least one current informal caregiver (ICG) giving care to the current subject, and at least one relationship between the current subject and the at least one current ICG. A combination similarity measure is applied to the current combination and stored combinations, in order to determine a stored combination which is similar to the current combination, wherein a need of the current subject and/or a need of the at least one current ICG are determined based on one or several needs assigned to a stored subject and/or stored ICGs of the determined similar stored combination. This allows for a reliable and fast determination of needs of a subject and/or an ICG with relatively low technical efforts.

1. A need determination system comprising:
a user interface (2) for allowing a person to input a current combination of a current subject, at least one current informal caregiver (ICG) giving care to the current subject, and at least one relationship between the current subject and the at least one current ICG, a stored combinations providing unit (3) for providing stored combinations of a stored subject, at least one stored ICG and at least one relationship between the stored subject and the at least one stored ICG, wherein a respective stored combination further includes at least one need assigned to the respective stored subject and/or at least one need assigned to the respective at least one stored ICG of the respective stored combination, a similarity unit (4) for applying a combination similarity measure to the current combination and the stored combinations, in order to determine a stored combination which is similar to the current combination, a need determination unit (5) for determining at least one need of the current subject based on the at least one need assigned to the stored subject of the determined similar stored combination and/or at least one need of the at least one current ICG based on the at least one need assigned to the at least one stored ICG of the determined similar stored combination.
