Body fluid volume estimation device, body fluid volume estimation method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

Abstract

A body fluid volume estimation device includes a pre-training unit, a transfer learning unit, and an estimation unit. The pre-training unit performs pre-training by using, as supervised information, information indicating body fluid volumes of the multiple patients when face images of multiple patients are captured. The transfer learning unit further performs transfer learning on multiple face images of one specific patient after the pre-training, and constructs a trained model. The estimation unit estimates, by inputting a face image of the one specific patient to the trained model, a body fluid volume at a point in time at which the face image of the one specific patient is captured. By estimating a body fluid volume from a face image by machine learning, the body fluid volume can be used for assistance such as decision making of a user.
