[0010] Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0011] (Overall composition) A medical support system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a medical support system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The medical support system 1 is used in a medical facility such as a hospital. In this embodiment, it is assumed that percutaneous catheter myocardial ablation (an example of surgery) has been performed multiple times in the past at the medical facility. It is also assumed that percutaneous catheter myocardial ablation is currently being performed at the medical facility. In this embodiment, the present is assumed to be as of August 1, 2023. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the medical support system 1 includes a communication device 10, a storage device 20, a medical support device 30, and a user terminal device 40.

[0012] The communication device 10 is connected to the medical support device 30 by wire or wirelessly so as to be able to communicate with the medical support device 30. The communication device 10 is, for example, a medical camera used in surgery or the like, a medical robot, an information device in which an electronic medical record is recorded, a medical device such as an electric scalpel, etc. The communication device 10 includes a control unit 11.

[0013] The control unit 11 includes, as a hardware configuration, a memory and a processor. The memory is, for example, configured from a ROM (Read Only Memory) in which various computer programs and the like are stored, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) having multiple work areas in which various computer programs and the like executed by the processor are stored. The processor is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and is configured to develop a computer program designated from various computer programs incorporated in the ROM on the RAM and execute various processes in cooperation with the RAM.

[0014] The control unit 11 acquires current treatment information related to each of a plurality of treatments included in the currently performed surgery. For example, when the communication device 10 is a medical camera, a medical robot, or an information device in which an electronic medical record is recorded, the control unit 11 acquires image data, video data, medication data, and biological information of the patient captured during the surgery as examples of the current treatment information. For example, when the communication device 10 is an electric scalpel, the control unit 11 acquires information related to the ON / OFF state of the power supply (i.e., information indicating whether the electric scalpel is being used) as the current treatment information. The control unit 11 transmits the acquired current treatment information to the medical support device 30.

[0015] The procedures included in the surgery include various actions for performing the surgery. For example, the procedures included in the surgery include actions associated with the surgery, such as entering the room, and medical actions, such as anesthesia induction. The procedures included in the surgery are set in advance for each surgery. However, the procedures included in the surgery may be arbitrarily changed by, for example, a medical professional. For example, when the surgery is percutaneous catheter myocardial ablation, the procedures included in the surgery are entering the room, anesthesia induction, timeout, puncture, Brockenbrough, ablation, left pulmonary vein (LPV) ablation, right pulmonary vein (RPV) ablation, induction, sheath removal, and leaving the room.

[0016] The current treatment information includes current medication information regarding medication administered to the patient in the treatment included in the currently performed surgery, and current transition information indicating the transition of the patient's biological information in the treatment included in the currently performed surgery. The control unit 11 can transmit the acquired current treatment information to the medical support device 30.

[0017] The control unit 11 may generate progress information indicating the progress of the treatment included in the currently performed surgery based on the current treatment information. In this case, the control unit 11, for example, analyzes image data or video data captured during the surgery to determine whether the treatment included in the currently performed surgery has been completed, and generates the progress information based on the determination. When the control unit 11 generates the progress information, the control unit 11 transmits the generated progress information to the medical support device 30, for example, at the timing when the treatment included in the currently performed surgery is completed. However, the control unit 11 may transmit the generated progress information to the medical support device 30 not only at the timing when the treatment included in the currently performed surgery is completed, but also at other timings. In other words, the control unit 11 transmits the generated progress information to the medical support device 30 at least at the timing when the treatment included in the currently performed surgery is completed.

[0018] The storage device 20 is configured to store, for example, various types of data. The storage device 20 is, for example, a storage device such as a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flash memory, etc. The storage device 20 stores, for example, past surgery information, patient information, medical staff information, etc.

[0019] The past surgery information is information about surgeries previously performed in a medical facility that uses the medical support system 1. The past surgery information includes surgery date information, surgery name information, information on medical staff involved, target patient information, past procedure information on each of a plurality of procedures included in the past surgery, past total required time information on the past surgery, and past auxiliary information.

[0020] The surgery date information is information indicating the date on which a surgery was performed in the past. For example, the date on which the surgery with surgery number 1 shown in FIG. 2 was performed is April 10, 2023.

[0021] The surgery name information is information that indicates the name of a surgery that has been performed in the past. For example, the name of surgery number 1 shown in FIG. 2 is percutaneous catheter myocardial ablation.

[0022] The involved medical worker information is information indicating medical workers who were involved in surgeries performed in the past. For example, the medical workers involved in the surgery with surgery number 1 shown in FIG. 2 are medical workers with medical worker IDs of 011, 012, 014, 015, 018, and 019. Note that the involved medical worker information is not limited to medical worker IDs, and may be, for example, medical worker names. The involved medical worker information also includes surgeon information indicating the surgeon in the surgery. For example, the surgeon in the surgery with surgery number 1 shown in FIG. 2 is the medical worker with medical worker ID 011.

[0023] The target patient information is information indicating a patient in a past surgery. For example, the patient in the surgery with surgery number 1 shown in FIG. 2 is a patient with a patient ID of 001. Note that the target patient information is not limited to the patient ID, and may be, for example, a patient name.

[0024] The past procedure information includes past duration information and past order information for each of a plurality of procedures included in a surgery performed in the past. The past duration information is information indicating the duration of a procedure included in a surgery performed in the past. For example, the past duration information for the anesthesia induction procedure in the surgery with surgery number 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 is information indicating that the procedure took 10 minutes. The past order information is information indicating the order in which each procedure was performed in a surgery including a plurality of procedures. For example, the past order information for the anesthesia induction procedure in the surgery with surgery number 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 is information indicating that the procedure was the second procedure in the entire surgery.

[0025] The past total time required information is information that indicates the total time required for the past surgeries. For example, the past total time required information for the surgery with surgery number 1 shown in FIG. 2 indicates that the time required for the surgery with surgery number 1 was 2 hours and 30 minutes.

[0026] The past auxiliary information includes medication information regarding medication administered to the patient in a past surgery, and transition information indicating the transition of the patient's biological information in the past surgery. The medication information includes timing information, content information, dosage information, and ingredient information. The timing information is information indicating the timing of medication administered to the patient in a past surgery. The content information is information indicating the content of the medication administered to the patient in a past surgery. The dosage information is information indicating the dosage of the medication administered to the patient in a past surgery. The ingredient information is information indicating the ingredients of the medication administered to the patient in a past surgery. Note that in FIG. 2, for convenience of illustration, only a portion of the past auxiliary information is shown.

[0027] As illustrated in Fig. 3, the patient information includes age information indicating the patient's age, gender information indicating the patient's gender, and medical history information indicating the patient's medical history. For example, the age information regarding Koden Shiro is information indicating that Koden Shiro is 65 years old. For example, the gender information regarding Koden Shiro is information indicating that Koden Shiro is male. For example, the medical history information regarding Koden Shiro is information indicating that Koden Shiro has a medical history of high blood pressure.

[0028] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the medical worker information includes affiliation information indicating the affiliation of the medical worker, type information indicating the type of the medical worker, and experience information regarding the medical worker's surgery. The affiliation of the medical worker is, for example, cardiology, general medicine, clinical engineering, etc. The type of the medical worker is, for example, a doctor, a nurse, etc. The experience information includes, for example, employment years information indicating the employment years of the target medical worker, and experience number information indicating the number of times the target medical worker has experienced the target surgery. For example, the affiliation information regarding Koden Taro is information indicating that Koden Taro belongs to cardiology. For example, the type information regarding Koden Taro is information indicating that Koden Taro's type is a doctor. For example, the employment years information regarding Koden Taro is information indicating that Koden Taro's employment years are 10 years. For example, the experience number information regarding percutaneous catheter myocardial ablation of Koden Taro is information indicating that Koden Taro has performed catheter myocardial ablation 30 times.

[0029] Returning to FIG. 1, the medical support device 30 will be described. The medical support device 30 is installed in a medical facility such as a hospital. The medical support device 30 is, for example, a general server device, a biological information monitor device equipped with a display, or the like. When the medical support device 30 is a biological information monitor device, the medical support device 30 is placed in, for example, an operating room or the like. When the medical support device 30 is a biological information monitor device, the medical support device 30 can display, for example, biological information (biological waveform information, etc.) and information indicating the progress of the surgery (progress information, etc.). In this case, the medical support device 30 may be configured to be able to switch between displaying biological information and displaying information indicating the progress of the surgery. The medical support device 30 includes an input / output interface 31 and a control unit 32. These are connected to each other via a bus 33 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0030] The input / output interface 31 functions as an interface between the communication device 10 and the medical support device 30. The input / output interface 31 also functions as an interface between the storage device 20 and the medical support device 30. The input / output interface 31 also functions as an interface between the medical support device 30 and the user terminal device 40.

[0031] The control unit 32 may have the same hardware configuration as the control unit 11 of the communication device 10. The control unit 32 includes at least one processor 321 and a memory 322 that stores at least one instruction executable by the processor 321.

[0032] In this embodiment, a computer-readable medium may be used. The computer-readable medium refers to any type of physical memory (RAM, ROM, etc.) that can store information or data that can be read by a processor. The computer-readable medium may store instructions for execution by one or more processors. The term "computer-readable medium" includes tangible items and excludes carrier waves and transitory signals (i.e., non-transitory). Non-transitory computer-readable media include, for example, magnetic recording media (e.g., flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs, CD-R / Ws, and semiconductor memories (e.g., mask ROMs, PROMs (Programmable ROMs), EPROMs (Erasable PROMs), and flash ROMs).

[0033] The control unit 32 acquires start time information indicating the start time of surgery. For example, when a user inputs the start time information to the user terminal device 40, the input information is transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the medical support device 30. In this manner, the medical support device 30 acquires the start time information.

[0034] The control unit 32 acquires at least one of patient information and medical professional information. For example, when a user inputs at least one of patient information and medical professional information to the user terminal device 40, the input information is transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the medical support device 30. In this manner, the medical support device 30 acquires at least one of patient information and medical professional information.

[0035] The control unit 32 acquires the past surgery information from the storage device 20, for example, in response to a request signal from a user terminal device 40 described below. The control unit 32 acquires the past surgery information from the storage device 20, for example, based on at least one of patient information and medical professional information. For example, when the control unit 32 acquires the past surgery information from the storage device 20 based on patient information related to Koden Shiro and medical professional information related to Koden Taro, the control unit 32 acquires from the storage device 20 the past surgery information related to the surgery in which the patient was Koden Shiro and in which Koden Taro was involved.

[0036] The control unit 32 generates predicted surgery schedule information and predicted auxiliary information based on the acquired past surgery information. The predicted surgery schedule information is information obtained by statistically processing the past surgery information. The predicted surgery schedule information includes predicted treatment schedule information indicating predicted treatment schedules set for each of a plurality of treatments included in the surgery.

[0037] The predicted procedure schedule information includes predicted duration information indicating the duration of each procedure included in the currently performed surgery, and order information indicating the order of each procedure included in the currently performed surgery in the overall surgery. The predicted duration information is generated by the control unit 32 based on past duration information. In this embodiment, the predicted duration information is the median of the duration of procedures included in past surgeries. However, the predicted duration information may be, for example, the average of the duration of procedures included in past surgeries. The control unit 32 also generates predicted overall duration information based on the predicted duration information of each procedure. For example, the control unit 32 generates predicted overall duration information by adding up the durations indicated by the predicted duration information of each procedure.

[0038] The predicted auxiliary information includes at least one of predicted medication information and predicted transition information. The predicted medication information includes predicted timing information, predicted content information, predicted dose information, and predicted component information. The predicted timing information is information indicating the timing of medication planned to be administered to the patient in the currently ongoing surgery. The predicted content information is information indicating the content of the medication planned to be administered to the patient in the currently ongoing surgery. The predicted dose information is information indicating the dose of the medication planned to be administered to the patient in the currently ongoing surgery. The predicted component information is information indicating the components of the medication planned to be administered to the patient in the currently ongoing surgery.

[0039] The predicted transition information is information indicating a predicted transition of the patient's biological information in the currently ongoing surgery. The predicted transition information includes predicted abnormality time information indicating the time when the value indicated by the patient's biological information will become abnormal, and abnormality type information indicating the type of abnormality of the patient at the time indicated by the predicted abnormality time information. The type of abnormality of the patient is, for example, apnea, bradycardia, tachycardia, etc. Apnea refers to a temporary cessation of breathing for 10 seconds or more.

[0040] The control unit 32 may acquire a plurality of pieces of medical worker information, which is medical worker information indicating medical workers involved in the surgery corresponding to the predicted surgery schedule information and includes type information indicating the type of the medical worker. In this case, the control unit 32 generates sub-predicted surgery schedule information for each medical worker based on the acquired type information. The sub-predicted surgery schedule information includes sub-predicted procedure schedule information regarding each procedure for each medical worker. The sub-predicted procedure schedule information includes sub-predicted required time information and sub-order information. The sub-predicted required time information is information indicating the required time for each procedure performed by a medical worker of a target type among the procedures included in the currently performed surgery. The sub-order information is information indicating the order of each procedure performed by a medical worker of a target type among the procedures included in the currently performed surgery.

[0041] When the control unit 11 of the communication device 10 generates progress information, the control unit 32 acquires current treatment information and progress information, or progress information, from the communication device 10. The control unit 32 acquires progress information from the communication device 10, for example, at the timing when at least a treatment included in the currently performed surgery is completed. On the other hand, when the control unit 11 of the communication device 10 does not generate progress information, the control unit 32 acquires current treatment information from the communication device 10. The control unit 32 generates progress information based on the acquired current treatment information. Note that the method of generating progress information performed by the control unit 32 may be similar to the method of generating progress information performed by the control unit 11 of the communication device 10.

[0042] The control unit 32 generates display data including the predicted surgery schedule information, the predicted auxiliary information, the progress information, and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information. The control unit 32 transmits the generated display data to the user terminal device 40.

[0043] The user terminal device 40 is, for example, a device operated by a medical professional such as a doctor or a nurse. The user terminal device 40 is, for example, an electronic device such as a desktop type PC, a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, etc. The user terminal device 40 includes an input / output interface 41, an operation unit 42, and a display unit 43. These are connected to each other via a bus 44 so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0044] The input / output interface 41 functions as an interface between the medical support device 30 and the user terminal device 40 .

[0045] The operation unit 42 is configured to receive an input operation of a user who operates the user terminal device 40 and generate a request signal corresponding to the input operation. The operation unit 42 is, for example, a touch panel superimposed on the display unit 43, an operation button attached to the housing of the user terminal device 40, or the like. The operation unit 42 receives, for example, an input operation for acquiring display data and generates a request signal corresponding to the input operation. The generated request signal is transmitted to the medical support device 30 via the input / output interface 41. The medical support device 30, which has received the request signal generated by the operation unit 42, generates display data based on the request signal and transmits the generated display data to the user terminal device 40.

[0046] The display unit 43 is, for example, a touch screen display such as a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, etc. The display unit 43 is configured to display an image based on the display data received from the medical support device 30, for example.

[0047] (First embodiment) Next, with reference to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, a medical support method executed by the medical support device 30 in the first embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, percutaneous catheter myocardial ablation (an example of surgery) is performed from 9:00 on August 1, 2023, and the current time is 9:32. In this surgery, the patient is Koden Shiro, and the medical staff involved in the surgery are Koden Taro, Koden Jiro, Koden Hanako, Koden Yoshiko, Koden Rokuro, and Koden Shichiro. In this embodiment, the medical support device 30 acquires current treatment information from the communication device 10 while the surgery is being performed, and generates progress information based on the acquired current treatment information. These assumptions are the same in the following embodiments unless otherwise specified.

[0048] Fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating a medical support method according to a first embodiment. As illustrated in Fig. 5, the control unit 32 of the medical support device 30 acquires patient information and medical worker information (STEP 01). In this embodiment, a user inputs patient information and medical worker information to the user terminal device 40, and the input patient information and medical worker information are transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the medical support device 30, whereby the control unit 32 acquires the patient information and medical worker information. In this embodiment, the control unit 32 acquires patient information related to Koden Shiro, and medical worker information related to Koden Taro, Koden Jiro, Koden Hanako, Koden Yoshiko, Koden Rokuro, and Koden Shichiro.

[0049] The control unit 32 acquires the past surgery information from the storage device 20 based on the acquired patient information and medical worker information (STEP 02). In this embodiment, the control unit 32 acquires the past surgery information from the storage device 20 based on the patient information related to Koden Shiro and the medical worker information related to Koden Taro. However, the control unit 32 may acquire the past surgery information from the storage device 20 based on, for example, the patient information related to Koden Shiro and the medical worker information related to multiple medical workers involved in the surgery. Since the control unit 32 acquires the past surgery information from the storage device 20 based on the patient information related to Koden Shiro and the medical worker information related to Koden Taro, it can acquire the past surgery information from the storage device 20 taking into consideration Koden Shiro's medical history, etc. and Koden Taro's years of employment, etc.

[0050] The control unit 32 generates predicted surgery schedule information and predicted auxiliary information based on the acquired past surgery information (STEP 03). In this embodiment, the control unit 32 generates predicted surgery schedule information and predicted auxiliary information based on past surgery information related to surgery such as surgery number 1 illustrated in FIG.

[0051] 5, the control unit 32 generates sub-projected surgery schedule information for each medical worker based on the acquired type information (STEP 04). In this embodiment, the control unit 32 generates sub-projected surgery schedule information for each of Koden Taro, Koden Jiro, Koden Hanako, Koden Yoshiko, Koden Rokuro, and Koden Shichiro.

[0052] The control unit 32 acquires the current process information from the communication device 10 (STEP 05). In this embodiment, the control unit 32 acquires the current process information from the communication device 10 at a predetermined time interval. The predetermined time interval is, for example, one minute intervals.

[0053] The control unit 32 generates progress information based on the current treatment information acquired from the communication device 10 (STEP 06). The control unit 32 generates the progress information, for example, by analyzing image data captured by the communication device 10 during surgery.

[0054] The control unit 32 generates display data including the predicted surgery schedule information, the predicted auxiliary information, the progress information, the sub-predicted surgery schedule information, the current medication information, and the current transition information (STEP 07). After generating the display data, the control unit 32 transmits the generated display data to the user terminal device 40.

[0055] The display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40 displays an image based on the display data received from the control unit 32 of the medical support device 30. The images displayed on the display unit 43 are, for example, the image 100 illustrated in FIG. 6, the image 200 illustrated in FIG. 7, and the image 300 illustrated in FIG. 8. In the following, the images 100, 200, and 300 will be described using the example in which the images 100, 200, and 300 are displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40 operated by Koden Hanako. The images displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40 operated by a medical worker other than Koden Hanako are basically the same as the images 100, 200, and 300 displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40 operated by Koden Hanako.

[0056] A case will be described where image 100 shown in Fig. 6 is displayed on display unit 43. Image 100 displays the current time, a medical staff ID, the name of the surgery currently being performed, multiple procedures included in the surgery, the expected start time of each procedure, expected surgery schedule information, progress information of each procedure, expected medication information, current medication information, expected transition information, and current transition information. The expected start time of each procedure is calculated by control unit 32 based on, for example, start time information, order information, and expected required time information.

[0057] A line L1 indicating the position of the current time is displayed on the image 100. In this embodiment, the line L1 is a dashed line, but it may be a solid line, a dashed line, etc. Also, what indicates the position of the current time is not limited to the line L1, and may be other figures, characters, etc.

[0058] The image 100 includes an area R1, an area R2, and an area R3. Area R1 displays predicted surgery schedule information including predicted treatment schedule information for each treatment, and progress information for each treatment.

[0059] The predicted procedure schedule information and the progress information are displayed side by side in two rows. In other words, the predicted procedure schedule information related to the procedure included in the currently performed surgery linked to the progress information is displayed near the progress information. In this embodiment, the predicted procedure schedule information is displayed above the progress information.

[0060] The shade of the color in the region R1 represents the degree of deviation from the median of the start time of each treatment. In this specification, the shade of the color is represented by the number of hatched lines. The more the hatched lines, the darker the color. In this embodiment, the darkest part is the median of the start time of the treatment, and the lighter the color, the more the deviation from the median. The darkest part in the upper region R11 (i.e., the region representing the expected schedule of each treatment) of the region R1 represents the position of the time corresponding to the median of the expected start time of the treatment. For example, the portion P10 in FIG. 6 represents the position of the time corresponding to the median of the expected start time of the anesthesia induction treatment. In addition, the portion in the lower region R12 (i.e., the region representing the progress of each treatment) of the region R1 that is given the same color as the darkest part in the region R11 represents the position of the time when the treatment started. For example, the portion P11 in FIG. 6 represents the position of the time when the anesthesia induction treatment started. In this way, the part representing the position of the time corresponding to the median of the expected start times for a certain procedure and the part representing the position of the time when that procedure was started are given the same color, so that, for example, a medical professional can easily visually correspond these times.

[0061] The upper region R21 of the region R2 displays expected dosing information related to the sedative A, and the lower region R22 of the region R2 displays current dosing information related to the sedative A. The shade of color in the region R2 represents the dose of the sedative A administered to the patient, and the darker the color, the larger the dose of the sedative A administered to the patient. The darkest color in the upper region R21 of the region R2 represents the time when the sedative A is scheduled to be bolus-administered. For example, the portion P20 in FIG. 6 represents the time when the sedative A is scheduled to be bolus-administered in the anesthesia induction procedure. The darkest color in the lower region R22 of the region R2 represents the time when the sedative A is bolus-administered to the patient. For example, the portion P21 in FIG. 6 represents the time when the sedative A is bolus-administered to the patient in the anesthesia induction procedure.

[0062] The upper region R31 of the region R3 displays predicted transition information, and the lower region R32 of the region R3 displays current transition information. The shade of color in the region R3 indicates the level of the patient's condition corresponding to the value indicated by the patient's biological information. The portion hatched with vertical lines (e.g., portion P30) indicates the time point at which the value indicated by the patient's biological information becomes an abnormal value. The region R3 also displays the type of abnormality of the patient at the time point at which the value indicated by the patient's biological information becomes an abnormal value. In this embodiment, apnea is displayed as the type of abnormality of the patient.

[0063] Next, the image 200 illustrated in FIG. 7 will be described. For example, when a medical professional clicks on the icon 50 included in the image 100 illustrated in FIG. 6, the image 200 illustrated in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40. In this embodiment, the icon 50 is an icon that resembles a medicine capsule, but may be an icon of another design. Also, text or the like may be displayed instead of the icon 50. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the image 200 includes expected timing information, expected dose information, and expected ingredient information related to the medicine corresponding to the icon 50. Therefore, by visually checking the image 200, the medical professional can recognize the timing of administration of the medicine corresponding to the icon 50, the dose of the medicine, and the ingredients of the medicine.

[0064] Next, the image 300 illustrated in FIG. 8 will be described. For example, when a medical worker performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 40 to display the image 300 on the display unit 43, the image 300 is displayed on the display unit 43. The image 300 includes the sub-estimated surgery schedule of each medical worker. The sub-estimated surgery schedule is based on the sub-estimated surgery schedule information related to the corresponding medical worker. In this embodiment, the image 300 includes the sub-estimated surgery schedules of Koden Taro, Koden Jiro, Koden Hanako, Koden Yoshiko, Koden Rokuro, and Koden Shichiro. However, it is sufficient that the display unit 43 displays an image including the sub-estimated surgery schedule of at least one of Koden Taro, Koden Jiro, Koden Hanako, Koden Yoshiko, Koden Rokuro, and Koden Shichiro. In other words, the image displayed on the display unit 43 does not need to include the sub-estimated surgery schedules of all medical workers involved in the surgery.

[0065] A medical worker can recognize his / her own sub-anticipated surgery schedule and the sub-anticipated surgery schedules of other medical workers by viewing image 300. For example, a medical worker can recognize procedures that he / she is scheduled to perform in a currently ongoing surgery and the anticipated start times of those procedures by viewing his / her own sub-anticipated surgery schedule.

[0066] The medical support device 30 according to the above configuration generates display data including expected procedure schedule information indicating expected procedure schedules set for each of the multiple procedures included in the surgery, and progress information indicating the progress of each of the multiple procedures included in the currently performed surgery. For example, by visually checking such display data, a medical worker can check the expected procedure schedule while also checking the progress of the multiple procedures included in the currently performed surgery. Therefore, the medical support device 30 can support the appropriate progress of the procedures included in the surgery.

[0067] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above-described configuration, the predicted treatment schedule information is based on past treatment information regarding each of the multiple treatments included in surgeries performed in the past, so that the predicted treatment schedule indicated by the predicted treatment schedule information is highly accurate.

[0068] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, the past treatment information is acquired based on the patient information and the medical staff information, so the predicted treatment schedule information generated based on such past treatment information reflects the characteristics of the patient and the medical staff. Therefore, the medical support device 30 can generate highly accurate predicted treatment schedule information.

[0069] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, the patient information includes age information, sex information, and medical history information, so that more accurate predicted treatment schedule information can be generated.

[0070] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, the medical staff information includes affiliation information, type information, and experience information, so that more accurate predicted treatment schedule information can be generated.

[0071] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, the predicted treatment schedule information includes predicted required time information generated based on past required time information, so that the time required for each treatment can be grasped.

[0072] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above-described configuration, the estimated time required information is the median time required for procedures included in surgeries performed in the past, and therefore the estimated time required information can be information indicating a more standardized estimated time required.

[0073] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above-described configuration, display data including predicted treatment schedule information and progress information can be generated simply by acquiring current treatment information for each of the multiple treatments included in the currently ongoing surgery.

[0074] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, even if the communication device 10 has a simple configuration, it is possible to generate display data including predicted treatment schedule information and progress information.

[0075] According to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, the display data includes sub-anticipated treatment schedule information for each medical worker generated based on type information indicating the type of medical worker. Therefore, each medical worker can perform appropriate treatment at an appropriate time by visually checking the sub-anticipated treatment schedule information included in the display data.

[0076] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, predicted procedure schedule information related to the procedure included in the currently performed surgery linked to the progress information is displayed near the progress information. Therefore, medical personnel can easily compare the predicted procedure schedule information with the progress information by using the display data generated by the medical support device 30.

[0077] (Second embodiment) Next, a medical support method executed by the medical support device 30 in the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 9 to 11. Note that in the second embodiment, the same parts as in the first embodiment will be described using the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and descriptions of overlapping parts will be omitted as appropriate. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the predicted surgery schedule information and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information are updated to reflect delays and advances of each procedure that has been performed up to the current time among the multiple procedures included in the surgery. Note that in this embodiment, it is assumed that a four-minute delay occurs in admission, an advance of three minutes occurs in induction of anesthesia, and a one-minute delay occurs in timeout.

[0078] In this embodiment, the control unit 32 can determine whether the currently performed surgery is progressing as expected based on the progress information and the expected procedure schedule information. The control unit 32 determines whether the currently performed surgery is progressing as expected based on, for example, the time when the currently performed procedure is determined to be completed and the expected completion time calculated based on the expected procedure schedule information and the start time information. The expected completion time is the expected time when the procedure is completed. If the control unit 32 determines that the currently performed surgery is progressing as expected, it does not update the expected surgery schedule information and the sub-expected surgery schedule information. On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that the currently performed surgery is not progressing as expected, it updates the expected surgery schedule information and the sub-expected surgery schedule information at a predetermined timing based on the progress information. In this embodiment, the control unit 32 updates the expected surgery schedule information and the sub-expected surgery schedule information when each procedure is completed. However, the control unit 32 may update the expected surgery schedule information and the sub-expected surgery schedule information when each procedure is started, for example, or may update the expected surgery schedule information and the sub-expected surgery schedule information periodically at a predetermined time interval.

[0079] When the control unit 32 updates the predicted surgery schedule information and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information, it generates updated display data (an example of display data) based on the updated predicted surgery schedule information and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information. The updated display data includes the updated predicted surgery schedule information, the updated sub-predicted surgery schedule information, predicted auxiliary information, progress information, current medication information, and current transition information. The control unit 32 transmits the updated display data to the user terminal device 40.

[0080] Next, a medical support method executed by the medical support device 30 in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 9. STEP 11 to STEP 17 are similar to STEP 01 to STEP 07 in the first embodiment.

[0081] The control unit 32 determines whether the currently ongoing surgery is progressing as expected based on the progress information and the expected procedure schedule information (STEP 18). If the control unit 32 determines that the currently ongoing surgery is progressing as expected (YES in STEP 18), it does not update the expected surgery schedule information and the sub-expected surgery schedule information (STEP 19). On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that the currently ongoing surgery is not progressing as expected (NO in STEP 18), it updates the expected surgery schedule information and the sub-expected surgery schedule information based on the progress information when each procedure is completed (STEP 20).

[0082] In this embodiment, a four minute delay occurs in entering the room, an anesthesia induction is brought forward by three minutes, and a one minute delay occurs in timeout. Therefore, the control unit 32 updates the predicted surgery schedule information and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information when each procedure, that is, entering the room, anesthesia induction, and timeout, is completed based on the progress information related to each procedure. This causes the delay or advancement of each procedure to be reflected in the predicted surgery schedule information and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information.

[0083] When the control unit 32 updates the predicted surgery schedule information and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information, it generates updated display data based on the updated predicted surgery schedule information and the sub-predicted surgery schedule information (STEP 21). When the control unit 32 generates the updated display data, it transmits the generated updated display data to the user terminal device 40.

[0084] When the user terminal device 40 receives the updated display data from the medical support device 30, an image based on the updated display data is displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40. The image displayed on the display unit 43 is, for example, an image 200 illustrated in Fig. 7, an image 400 illustrated in Fig. 10, and an image 500 illustrated in Fig. 11.

[0085] A case where the image 400 shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 43 will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, in the image 400, squares are added or deleted based on the delay or advancement that has occurred up to the current time in each treatment from entry to puncture in the regions R1 to R3. Also, in the regions R1 to R3, the completion time of each treatment from entry to puncture is updated based on the delay or advancement that has occurred up to the current time. The completion time is the time when the treatment is completed. Furthermore, in the image 400, the expected start time and expected completion time of each treatment in the treatment after Brockenbrough in the regions R1 to R3 are updated based on the delay (in this embodiment, a two-minute delay) that has occurred up to the current time. The image 400 differs from the image 100 according to the first embodiment in these respects. In other respects, the image 400 and the image 100 according to the first embodiment are similar.

[0086] Next, the image 500 illustrated in FIG. 11 will be described. For example, when a medical worker performs a predetermined operation on the operation unit 42 of the user terminal device 40 to display the image 500 on the display unit 43, the image 500 is displayed on the display unit 43. The image 500 includes an updated sub-anticipated surgery schedule for each medical worker. The updated sub-anticipated surgery schedule is based on the updated sub-anticipated surgery schedule information for the corresponding medical worker. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the image 500 differs from the image 300 according to the first embodiment in that it includes an expected start time and an expected duration that reflect the delay or advancement of each procedure that has been performed up to the current time among the multiple procedures included in the surgery.

[0087] In this embodiment, the medical support device 30 provides the same effects as in the first embodiment.

[0088] Furthermore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, the expected procedure schedule information is updated at a predetermined timing (in this embodiment, when each procedure is completed) based on the progress information. For example, if a procedure included in the currently performed surgery is behind the expected schedule, the medical support device 30 can update the expected procedure schedule information to take the delay in the procedure into consideration. In this way, according to the medical support device 30, even if a procedure included in the currently performed surgery is progressing faster or slower than the expected schedule, the expected procedure schedule information can be made appropriate.

[0089] (Third embodiment) Next, a notification method executed by the medical support device 30 in the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 12. FIG. 12 is a flow chart illustrating a notification method in the third embodiment. In the third embodiment, the same parts as those in the first or second embodiment will be described using the same reference numerals as those in the first or second embodiment, and descriptions of overlapping parts will be omitted as appropriate. The third embodiment differs from the first or second embodiment in that the medical support device 30 executes not only the medical support method executed in the first or second embodiment but also the notification method illustrated in FIG. 12. The notification method illustrated in FIG. 12 is executed from the start to the end of surgery.

[0090] In this embodiment, the control unit 32 can determine whether the currently ongoing surgery has been completed based on progress information relating to the procedure that is the last of the multiple procedures included in the currently ongoing surgery.

[0091] The control unit 32 notifies the medical staff who is scheduled to perform the upcoming treatment of notification information according to the progress of the treatment prior to the upcoming treatment. In this embodiment, the control unit 32 judges whether a predetermined notification condition is satisfied, generates the notification information when it judges that the notification condition is satisfied, and transmits the generated notification information to the user terminal device 40 to notify the notification information. In this embodiment, the predetermined notification condition is whether the treatment two treatments prior to the upcoming treatment has been completed. However, the predetermined notification condition may be, for example, whether the treatment immediately prior to the upcoming treatment has started. In addition, the notification means for the notification information may be an auditory means or a visual means.

[0092] 12, the control unit 32 determines whether the currently ongoing surgery has ended based on the progress information related to the procedure that is the last of the multiple procedures included in the currently ongoing surgery (STEP 31). If the control unit 32 determines that the currently ongoing surgery has ended (YES in STEP 31), it ends the processing related to the notification method. On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that the currently ongoing surgery has not ended (NO in STEP 31), it executes STEP 32.

[0093] The control unit 32 judges whether a predetermined notification condition (i.e., a condition that the procedure two procedures before the procedure to be performed has been completed) is satisfied (STEP 32). When the control unit 32 judges that the predetermined notification condition is satisfied (YES in STEP 32), it generates notification information (STEP 33). Then, the control unit 32 transmits the generated notification information to the user terminal device 40 (STEP 34). When the user terminal device 40 receives the notification information from the control unit 32 of the medical support device 30, the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40 displays, for example, text information based on the received notification information. The text information is, for example, a message such as "The procedure you are scheduled to perform is approaching." The medical staff can recognize that the procedure they are scheduled to perform is approaching by visually checking the text information displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40. When STEP 34 is executed, the control unit 32 executes STEP 31 again. On the other hand, if the control unit 32 determines that the predetermined notification condition is not satisfied (NO in STEP 32), it executes STEP 31 again without executing STEP 33 and STEP .

[0094] In this way, the control unit 32 executes the notification method exemplified in FIG. 12 from the start to the end of the surgery, and ends the execution of the notification method when the surgery ends.

[0095] In this embodiment, the medical support device 30 achieves the same effects as in the first and second embodiments.

[0096] According to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, notification information is notified to the medical worker who is scheduled to perform the upcoming treatment according to the progress of the treatment preceding the upcoming treatment (in this embodiment, the treatment two treatments before the upcoming treatment). Therefore, according to the medical support device 30 having the above configuration, the medical worker can smoothly start the treatment he or she is scheduled to perform.

[0097] The above-described embodiments are provided for the purpose of facilitating understanding of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. The present disclosure may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0098] In the above embodiment, the control unit 32 may correct the expected procedure schedule information based on the total required time, which is the sum of the required times indicated by the past required time information, and the required time for all surgeries performed in the past. For example, if the total required time is 3 hours and the required time for all surgeries performed in the past is 2 hours and 30 minutes, the control unit 32 multiplies the required time for each procedure included in the currently performed surgery by 5 / 6 (150 minutes / 180 minutes). That is, in this case, the control unit 32 corrects the expected procedure schedule information by multiplying the required time indicated by the expected required time information for each procedure by 5 / 6. According to the medical support device 30 having such a configuration, the expected procedure schedule information is corrected based on the total required time and the required time for all surgeries performed in the past, so that more appropriate expected procedure schedule information can be obtained.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the medical support device 30 may include a storage device similar to the storage device 20, as indicated by the dashed line in Fig. 1. In this case, the medical support system 1 does not need to include the storage device 20.

[0100] In the above embodiment, the medical support device 30 may include a display unit 35 similar to the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40, as indicated by the dashed line in Fig. 1. In this case, the images 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 may be displayed on the display unit 35 of the medical support device 30.

[0101] In the above embodiment, the control unit 32 generates the predicted surgery schedule information and the predicted auxiliary information based on the acquired past surgery information, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. The control unit 32 may generate the predicted surgery schedule information and the predicted auxiliary information based on, for example, schedule information indicating a schedule independently determined by a medical facility, a medical worker, etc., and auxiliary information indicating the timing of medication independently determined by a medical facility, a medical worker, etc. In addition, the control unit 32 may generate the predicted surgery schedule information and the predicted auxiliary information based on, for example, schedule information indicating a schedule recommended by an academic society in the medical field, and auxiliary information indicating the timing of medication recommended by an academic society in the medical field.

[0102] In the above embodiment, the past auxiliary information includes the medication information and the transition information, but may include only either the medication information or the transition information.

[0103] In the above embodiment, the medication information includes timing information, content information, dosage information, and ingredient information, but may include at least timing information. The medication information may also include timing information and at least one of content information and dosage information.

[0104] In the above embodiment, the medical staff information includes the affiliation information, the type information, and the experience information, but it is not necessary to include all of these pieces of information. In other words, the medical staff information only needs to include at least one of the affiliation information, the type information, and the experience information.

[0105] In the above embodiment, the patient information includes age information, gender information, and medical history information, but does not necessarily include all of these pieces of information. In other words, the patient information only needs to include at least one of age information, gender information, and medical history information.

[0106] In the above embodiment, the control unit 32 of the medical support device 30 acquires the past surgery information from the storage device 20 based on the patient information and the medical staff information, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 32 may acquire the past surgery information from the storage device 20 based on either the patient information or the medical staff information. Furthermore, the control unit 32 may acquire all the past surgery information from the storage device 20.

[0107] In the above embodiment, the control unit 32 generates display data including the predicted surgery schedule information, the predicted auxiliary information, the progress information, the sub-predicted surgery schedule information, the current medication information, and the current transition information, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the display data may not include the predicted auxiliary information or the progress information. Furthermore, the display data generated by the control unit 32 may not include at least one of the sub-predicted surgery schedule information, the current medication information, and the current transition information.

[0108] In the above embodiment, the control unit 32 of the medical support device 30 generates the progress information, but for example, the control unit 11 of the communication device 10 may generate the progress information. In this case, the communication device 10 transmits the progress information, or the current treatment information and the progress information, to the medical support device 30. In this case, the medical support device 30 acquires the progress information from the communication device 10, so that, for example, a user such as a medical worker does not need to input the progress information to the medical support device 30, and as a result, the burden on the user can be reduced. Also, in this case, the medical support device 30 may acquire the progress information from the communication device 10, for example, at the timing when at least the treatment included in the currently performed surgery is completed. In this case, the progress information is acquired from the communication device 10 at the timing when at least the treatment included in the currently performed surgery is completed, so that it is possible to more accurately assist in appropriately proceeding with the treatment included in the surgery.

[0109] In the above embodiment, the medical support device 30 acquires the current treatment information from the communication device 10, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, a user may input the current treatment information to the user terminal device 40, and the input current treatment information may be transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the medical support device 30, so that the medical support device 30 acquires the current treatment information.

[0110] In the above embodiment, predicted procedure schedule information regarding procedures included in the currently ongoing surgery linked to the progress information is displayed near the progress information, but the predicted procedure schedule information does not have to be displayed near the progress information.

[0111] In the above embodiment, the predicted transition information includes the predicted abnormality time point information, but may not include the predicted abnormality time point information. Also, the predicted transition information includes the abnormality type information, but may not include the abnormality type information.

[0112] In the above embodiment, the image 100 or image 400, the image 200, and the image 300 or image 500 are individually displayed on the display unit 43 of the user terminal device 40, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, two of these images (e.g., the image 100 and the image 200) or three images (e.g., the image 100, the image 200, and the image 300) may be simultaneously displayed on the display unit 43. For example, when a user such as a medical worker taps on the area of ​​the melkmaar illustrated in FIG. 6, a pop-up or the like for selecting a medical worker is displayed. Then, when the user selects an arbitrary medical worker from the displayed pop-up or the like, a sub-projected surgery schedule for the selected medical worker is inserted into the image 100 (e.g., above the melkmaar illustrated in FIG. 6) and displayed.

[0113] In the third embodiment, the means for notifying the notification information is visual, but it may be, for example, auditory, or both auditory and visual.
