Abstract

There is provided an information processing device that can improve motivation of providers of biological information for healthcare, the information processing device including: a data acquisition unit configured to acquire information related to biological information, the biological information being provided by a provider; and a determination unit configured to determine a reward value provided to the provider as feedback for provision of the biological information, based on the information related to biological information.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a data acquisition unit configured to acquire information related to biological information, the biological information being provided by a provider; and

a determination unit configured to determine a reward value provided to the provider as feedback for provision of the biological information, based on the information related to biological information.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the information related to biological information includes a calculation result calculated based on the biological information.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein the calculation result is calculated based on at least one of an evaluation value of the biological information, a period in which the biological information is kept in a predetermined range, a tendency of change in the biological information, the amount of physical activity of the provider when the biological information is detected, and a confidence of the biological information.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3, wherein the confidence is calculated based on at least one of the number of samples of the biological information, a sampling period of the biological information, and an average sampling interval of the biological information.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein when there are a plurality of items that constitute the biological information, the information related to biological information includes a calculation result calculated based on a calculation result and a weight for each item.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein the weight is calculated based on at least one of the amount of physical activity of the provider and a confidence of the biological information.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the information related to biological information includes at least one of a data size of the biological information provided by the provider, the number of items that constitute the biological information, and a period in which the biological information is provided.

8. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the information processing device includes a processing unit configured to execute a predetermined process according to the reward value.

9. The information processing device according to claim 8, wherein the processing unit calculates an insurance premium to be paid by the provider by deducting the reward value from an insurance premium as a basis.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein when there is a user of the biological information in whole or in part, the determination unit determines a data usage fee to be paid by the user, based on information related to biological information used by the user.

11. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein the information related to biological information used by the user includes at least one of a data size of the biological information, the number of items that constitute the biological information, and a period in which the biological information is used.

12. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein when it is detected that the provider cooperates on a research conducted by the user, the determination unit determines a contingency fee to be paid by the user.

13. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein an advertisement to be presented to the provider is determined from among advertisements related to a product or a service sold by the user, based on the information related to biological information.

14. The information processing device according to claim 13, wherein when it is detected that the product or the service has been purchased by the provider, the determination unit determines a contingency fee to be paid by the user.

15. The information processing device according to claim 13, wherein when receiving the advertisement is accepted, the determination unit determines the reward value provided to the provider to be high, compared with when receiving the advertisement is rejected.

16. The information processing device according to claim 10, wherein advice presented by the user to the provider is determined based on the information related to biological information.

17. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the biological information includes at least one of heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar level, breathing rate, body temperature, brain wave, electrocardiogram, blood flow, cardiac sound, blood oxygen level, cholesterol, blood-alcohol level, perspiration, myogram, and calories burned of the provider.

18. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the reward value includes at least one of an amount of money and a point having a value equivalent to the amount of money.

19. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring information related to biological information, the biological information being provided by a provider; and

determining a reward value provided to the provider as feedback for provision of the biological information, based on the information related to biological information.

20. A computer program causing a computer to function as an information processing device comprising:

a data acquisition unit configured to acquire information related to biological information, the biological information being provided by a provider; and

a determination unit configured to determine a reward value provided to the provider as feedback for provision of the biological information, based on the information related to biological information.
