Abstract

An information processing device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a motion history of a patient who represents themselves as an avatar and gets a check-up at a clinic in a metaverse. The processing circuitry determines a specific motion for estimating a state of the patient by analyzing the motion history. The processing circuitry outputs information based on the specific motion via an output interface.

Claims (33)

1 . An information processing device comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry performing:

acquiring a motion history of a patient who represents themself as an avatar and gets a check-up at a clinic in a metaverse;

determining a specific motion for estimating a state of the patient by analyzing the motion history; and

outputting information based on the specific motion via an output interface.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the motion history includes one or both of a motion history of the patient in the metaverse and a motion history of the patient in the real world.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the motion history includes at least one of a motion history before the patient gets a check-up at the clinic, a motion history after the patient has gotten a check-up at the clinic, and a motion history when the patient is getting a check-up at the clinic.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry performs:

determining a degree of return indicating a degree to which the patient is able to return to the real world on the basis of the specific motion; and

outputting information based on the degree of return via the output interface.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the processing circuitry performs:

outputting a first avatar which is an avatar of the patient in the metaverse via the output interface; and

making an appearance of the first avatar in the metaverse abstract according to the degree of return.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry changes the appearance of the first avatar such that the appearance is less like a real appearance of the patient as the degree of return becomes lower and changes the appearance of the first avatar such that the appearance is more like the real appearance of the patient as the degree of return becomes higher.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry performs:

additionally outputting a vocal sound of the first avatar via the output interface; and

changing the vocal sound of the first avatar in the metaverse according to the degree of return.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry changes the vocal sound of the first avatar such that the vocal sound is less like a real vocal sound of the patient as the degree of return becomes lower and changes the vocal sound of the first avatar such that the vocal sound is more like the real vocal sound of the patient as the degree of return becomes higher.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry performs:

outputting a second avatar which is an avatar of a doctor of the clinic in the metaverse via the output interface; and

making an appearance of the second avatar in the metaverse abstract according to the degree of return.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the processing circuitry changes the appearance of the second avatar such that the appearance is less like a real appearance of the doctor as the degree of return becomes lower and changes the appearance of the second avatar such that the appearance is more like the real appearance of the doctor as the degree of return becomes higher.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the processing circuitry performs:

outputting a first avatar which is an avatar of the patient in the metaverse via the output interface; and

making an external environment viewed from the first avatar in the metaverse abstract according to the degree of return.

12 . The information processing device according to claim 11 , wherein the processing circuitry changes the external environment such that the external environment is less like the real world as the degree of return becomes lower and changes the external environment such that the external environment is more like the real world as the degree of return becomes higher.

13 . An information processing method that is performed by a computer, the information processing method comprising:

acquiring a motion history of a patient who represents themself as an avatar and gets a check-up at a clinic in a metaverse;

determining a specific motion for estimating a state of the patient by analyzing the motion history; and

outputting information based on the specific motion via an output interface.

14 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program causing a computer to perform:

acquiring a motion history of a patient who represents themself as an avatar and gets a check-up at a clinic in a metaverse;

determining a specific motion for estimating a state of the patient by analyzing the motion history; and

outputting information based on the specific motion via an output interface.
