Hello! I am a business consultant specializing in nursing care and AI.

“Working overtime again today to create assessments...”
“My precious time with users is being eaten up by paperwork...”

Great news for all you nursing care staff struggling with these issues!

Actually, there is a system where by simply recording your everyday conversations with users, AI automatically extracts assessments and even creates care plans. It really exists.

This time, I will introduce 5 steps that even complete beginner nursing care staff can put into practice starting tomorrow. No specialized knowledge is required at all! If you have a smartphone, you can start right now.

STEP 1: Record and manage conversations with patients (Time required: 1 day / Implementation cost: ¥0)

Specific Actions

Let's start with the absolute basics! Begin by safely recording your conversations with users.

What you need:

• Smartphone (iPhone or Android is fine)

• Recording app (free)

• Consent form from the user and their family

Procedure:

1. Explain the purpose to the user and their family before recording and obtain consent

2. Launch the recording app on your smartphone

3. Naturally record conversations during daily care

4. Note the date, time, and user name on the recording file

5. As a security measure, save the recording file in a password-protected folder

Checklist

• □ Consent obtained from the user and their family

• □ Recording app operation verified

• □ File naming convention decided

• □ Security measures implemented

• □ One day's worth of recording data organized

STEP 2: Audio to Text Conversion (Time required: 1 day / Implementation cost: ¥0 - ¥2,000)

Recommended API and Tool Introduction

This is the task of converting recorded audio into text. An **API (Application Programming Interface)** is a mechanism that converts recorded audio into text.

Recommended tools for beginners:

1. Google Speech-to-Text: A speech recognition service provided by Google

2. Azure Speech Services: A speech recognition service by Microsoft

3. Whisper (OpenAI): A highly accurate speech recognition AI

Execution Steps

1. Access the website of the selected tool

2. Upload the recording file

3. Execute speech recognition (usually completes in 1-3 minutes)

4. Copy the generated text

5. Organize and save in Word documents or Excel files

💡 Tips for improving transcription accuracy

• Improve sound quality during recording

• Register dialects and technical terms in advance

• Always check the content after generation

STEP 3: Automatically extract assessment items using NLP (Time required: 1 week / Implementation cost: from ¥5,000)

Simple explanation of keyword extraction and sentiment analysis

**NLP (Natural Language Processing)** is a technology that allows computers to understand and analyze human language.

At this stage, the following information is automatically extracted from the transcribed conversation:

Examples of extractable items:

• Physical condition (e.g., "my legs hurt," "it's hard to walk")

• Mental state (e.g., "anxious," "happy," "sad")

• Daily activities (e.g., "eating," "bathing," "excretion")

• Social participation (e.g., "want to see friends," "want to go out")

Deliverables Checklist

• □ Keyword extraction regarding physical function completed

• □ Information organization regarding cognitive function completed

• □ Data organization regarding social participation and communication completed

• □ Confirmation of sentiment analysis results completed

• □ Automatic classification into assessment items completed

STEP 4: Have AI automatically generate a care plan (Time required: 2 weeks / Implementation cost: from ¥10,000)

Prompt examples and parameter settings

A promptis a text used to give instructions to an AI.

Example of a prompt for care plan generation:

以下のアセスメント情報を基に、利用者様のケアプランを作成してください。

【利用者情報】
年齢：85歳、性別：女性
【身体状況】
歩行に不安あり、膝に痛みを訴える
【精神状態】
やや不安感があるが、前向きな発言も多い
【生活動作】
食事・入浴は一部介助が必要

【出力形式】
1. 長期目標（6ヶ月）
2. 短期目標（1ヶ月）
3. 具体的なケア内容
4. 頻度・時間
5. 担当者

Points to check in the output results

• Is individuality reflected?

• Are the goals realistic and achievable?

• Does it meet legal requirements?

• Does it match the needs of the user and their family?

STEP 5: Human review + adjustment (Continuous operation / ¥0)

Quality check by medical and nursing care professionals

Care plans generated by AI must always undergo a final check by a professional.

Checkpoints:

• Medical and nursing care validity

• Respect for the user's dignity

• Consistency with the family's wishes

• Compatibility with the scope of services provided by the facility

How to implement improvement feedback

1. Weekly review: Accuracy check of generated care plans

2. Monthly Improvement: Update AI training data

3. Quarterly Evaluation: Measure system-wide effectiveness

4. Annual Review: Consider introducing new AI technologies
