Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for sharing infectious disease test result information and a method for sharing infectious disease test result information. [Background technology]

[0002] Since ancient times, the history of medicine has been a history of fighting infectious diseases. In particular, acute respiratory infections caused by influenza viruses tend to become severe, and even today, with medical advances, many people die from them every year.

[0003] Currently, in Japan, there is no method for patients to test themselves for influenza, and the medical system does not conduct tests after symptoms have disappeared. Therefore, many companies, based on the perspective of collective management, prevent mass infection by having employees take a certain period of leave after the onset of influenza, for example, seven days. However, when viewed individually, some people are still shedding bacteria after seven days, meaning they may be the cause of droplet infection, while others stop shedding bacteria much earlier.

[0004] Previously, the decision as to whether or not an employee who was considered to be on the borderline of having the disease could come to work was left to the employee's discretion. If the employee had symptoms, such as a high fever, they were more likely to be diagnosed by a doctor.

[0005] Figure 14 shows a flowchart of the conventional response method for an employee who suspects he or she may be infected and the company to which the employee belongs, specifically, a method of sharing information about infectious diseases. First, the employee becomes aware of influenza symptoms (step Y1). The employee is examined by a doctor and influenza is confirmed by, for example, using influenza testing equipment at the hospital (step Y2). Based on the results of the doctor's examination, the employee self-reports influenza to his or her company (step Y3). The employee's company then orders the employee to take a leave of absence for a certain period of time, for example, seven days (step Y4). After the seven days have passed, the employee automatically returns to work (step Y5).

[0006] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, health management methods and systems for collecting and managing the health conditions of employees have been disclosed in order to prevent mass infection of influenza within a company (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-65540 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, at this stage, there is no method for employees to test themselves at home, so they have to go out and see a doctor even though they are aware of the symptoms and are likely to be shedding bacteria, which puts them at a very high risk of infecting others. There is also a possibility that they will go to work in that state, which increases the probability of causing a mass infection. This means that the health management system described above will be slow to respond.

[0009] Furthermore, if a management approach were adopted that automatically places employees on seven days off, there is a risk that employees whose symptoms have improved and who are no longer likely to excrete bacteria will remain on leave, which would result in losses for the companies to which they belong.

[0010] In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention provides an infectious disease test result information sharing system and method that enable employees to be tested for influenza infection status at home, thereby preventing them from coming to work if they are shedding bacteria, and enabling them to quickly return to work once they are no longer shedding bacteria, thereby minimizing losses to the company to which they belong. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] (1) The present invention is an infectious disease test result information sharing system in which an employee's infectious disease test result information is shared by an employee computer owned by an employee, an affiliated company computer owned by the company where the employee works, and a doctor's computer owned by a doctor, the system including an absence request information sending processing unit provided on the employee computer for sending absence request information, which is information requesting absence, to the affiliated company computer where the employee works, an absence request information receiving processing unit provided on the affiliated company computer for receiving the absence request information, an absence permission information sending processing unit provided on the affiliated company computer for sending absence permission information, which is information permitting absence, to the employee computer, an absence permission information receiving processing unit provided on the employee computer for receiving the absence permission information, and a processing unit provided on the affiliated company computer for instructing the employee to use a self-testing device for self-testing for infectious diseases based on the absence request information. the self-testing device use instruction information transmission processing unit that transmits self-testing device use instruction information, which is information obtained by using the self-testing device, to the employee computer; a self-testing device use instruction information reception processing unit that is provided in the employee computer and receives the self-testing device use instruction information; a self-testing result information transmission processing unit that is provided in the employee computer and transmits self-testing result information obtained using the self-testing device; a self-testing result information reception processing unit that is provided in the doctor computer and / or the affiliated company computer and receives the self-testing result information; an interview instruction information transmission processing unit that is provided in the doctor computer and / or the affiliated company computer and transmits interview instruction information instructing the employee to have an interview with the doctor based on the self-testing result information; and an interview instruction information reception processing unit that is provided in the employee computer and receives the interview instruction information.

[0012] According to the invention described in (1) above, employees themselves can use a self-testing device to test for infectious diseases at places such as their homes where there is little possibility of causing mass infection, which has a significantly excellent effect of preventing mass infection. In addition, based on the employee's self-testing result information, the employee can recognize that the possibility of excreting the bacteria has decreased, and then transmit the self-testing result information to the company to which the employee belongs and to a doctor, such as an industrial physician, to set up an interview with the doctor, which has a significantly excellent effect of preventing mass infection in advance. In addition, by exchanging sensitive personal information such as the self-testing result within the information system, it has a significantly excellent effect of allowing all information handlers to carry out their work appropriately while protecting personal information.

[0013] (2) The present invention provides an infectious disease test result information sharing system as described in (1) above, characterized in that it comprises an employee health information sending processing unit that is provided on the employee computer and sends employee health information indicating the employee's health condition to the doctor computer and / or the affiliated company computer based on the interview instruction information, and an employee health information receiving processing unit that is provided on the doctor computer and / or the affiliated company computer and receives the employee health information.

[0014] According to the invention described in (2) above, employee health information indicating the employee's physical condition can be transmitted to a doctor's computer and / or the employee's company's computer, thereby providing the excellent effect of enabling employees to remotely share their own health information with a doctor or the employee's company and to receive instructions on the appropriate course of action.

[0016] According to the invention described in (3) above, the doctor's opinion information, which is the opinion of the doctor who examined the employee, can be shared with the employee's company quickly and reliably, allowing the company to quickly decide whether or not to return the employee to work, and can quickly manage labor and adjust shifts, thereby minimizing losses to the company itself.

[0017] (4) The present invention provides an infectious disease test result information sharing system as described in (2) or (3) above, characterized in that the employee health information is self-video information recorded as a video of the employee.

[0018] According to the invention described in (4) above, an examination can be performed without having to meet with a doctor in person. Therefore, even if an employee's self-test is inappropriate and the employee continues to excrete bacteria, a doctor can view the employee's self-video information, assess the symptoms, and choose not to allow the employee to return to work. This has the excellent effect of reducing the social risk of the infection spreading due to employees going out.

[0019] (5) The present invention provides an infectious disease test result information sharing system as described in (4) above, characterized in that it comprises an employee return to work availability information sending processing unit provided in the affiliated company computer that sends employee return to work availability information, which is information about whether the employee can return to work based on the doctor's opinion information, to the employee computer, and an employee return to work availability information receiving processing unit provided in the employee computer that receives the employee return to work availability information.

[0020] According to the invention described in (5) above, information on whether or not an employee can return to work, based on the doctor's opinion, can be quickly and reliably shared between the employee and the company, which is beneficial for both the employee who wishes to return to work quickly and the company who wishes to minimize losses caused by the employee's absence.

[0021] (6) The present invention provides an infectious disease test result information sharing system described in any one of (1) to (5) above, characterized in that the infectious disease is an acute respiratory infection caused by an influenza virus as a pathogen.

[0022] Among infectious diseases, influenza is a disease that repeats epidemics worldwide every year and is easily transmitted by droplet infection or contact infection. According to the invention described in (6) above, it is possible to prevent employees who are likely to be infected with influenza from going out or coming to the workplace, which has the excellent effect of preventing the spread of infection.

[0023] (7) The present invention is an infectious disease test result information sharing method for sharing infectious disease test result information of an employee among an employee computer owned by an employee, an affiliated company computer owned by the company where the employee works, and a doctor computer owned by a doctor, the method including, in the employee computer, an absence request information sending step for sending, to the affiliated company computer where the employee works, information requesting absence from work, an absence request information receiving step for receiving, in the affiliated company computer, an absence permission information sending step for sending, to the employee computer, absence permission information which is information permitting absence from work, an absence permission information receiving step for receiving, in the employee computer, and an instruction, in the affiliated company computer, to have the employee use a self-testing device for self-testing for infectious diseases based on the absence request information.

The judgment information is received by the employee company computer 20 and the employee computer 10 (steps V6 and V7). The judgment information is transmitted by the employee company computer 20 to the doctor computer 30 (step V9).

[0090] Through the above operations, the self-testing results obtained by the employee using the self-testing equipment are shared with the employee's company computer 20 and the testing equipment provider company computer 40, and the judgment information obtained based on the self-testing result information is shared with the employee computer 10, the employee's company computer 20, and the doctor's computer 30, allowing the employee, the employee's company, and the doctor to obtain common judgment information.

[0091] FIG. 12 shows a flowchart illustrating the operation of the doctor computer 30, employee computer 10, etc. in the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1 to transmit and receive interview instruction information and the like.

[0092] When the doctor judges based on the judgment information that he / she will have an interview with the employee, the doctor computer 30 transmits interview instruction information (step W1). The transmitted interview instruction information is received by the employee computer 10 and the affiliated company computer 20 (steps W2 and W3). The employee computer 10 transmits interview date and time adjustment information to the affiliated company computer 20 and the doctor computer 30. The affiliated company computer 20 and the doctor computer 30 receive the interview date and time adjustment information (steps W5 and W6). The doctor or the like judges the interview date and time based on the received interview date and time adjustment information, and the doctor computer 30 transmits interview date and time designation information to the employee computer 10 and the affiliated company computer 20 (step W7). The transmitted interview date and time designation information is received by the affiliated company computer 20 and the employee computer 10 (steps W8 and W9).

[0093] Through the above operations, based on the judgment information, the employee computer 10, the affiliated company computer 20, and the doctor computer 30 can share interview date and time adjustment information and interview date and time designation information, making it possible to easily determine an interview date and time between the employee and a doctor, such as an industrial physician, and also allowing the affiliated company to know the interview date and time, etc.

[0094] 13 shows a flowchart showing the operation of the employee computer 10, doctor computer 30, etc., transmitting and receiving self video information, etc. in the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1. This flowchart explains the operation that enables a doctor to check the physical condition of an employee through remote medical treatment.

[0095] First, the employee computer 10 transmits self-movie video information (step X1). The transmitted self-movie video information is received by the affiliated company computer 20 and the doctor computer 30 (steps X3 and X2). Based on the self-movie video information and the judgment information, the doctor judges the employee's physical condition and forms an opinion. The doctor's opinion information is then transmitted by the doctor's opinion computer 30 to the affiliated company computer 20 (step X4). The transmitted doctor's opinion information is received by the affiliated company computer 20 (step X6), and based on the doctor's opinion information, the affiliated company judges whether the employee can return to work, and the affiliated company computer 20 transmits information on whether the employee can return to work to the employee computer 10 (step X7). The transmitted return to work information is received by the employee computer 10 (step X8).

[0096] Through the above operations, the affiliated company computer 20 shares doctor's opinion information based on self-video information, etc., allowing the affiliated company to decide whether or not the employee is able to return to work, and since that return-to-work availability information can be shared by the employee computer 10, the employee can quickly find out whether or not he or she is able to return to work.

[0097] According to the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, employees can test themselves for infectious diseases using a self-testing device at a place such as their home where there is little possibility of causing mass infection, which has a remarkable effect of preventing mass infection. In addition, based on the employee's self-test result information, the employee can recognize that the possibility of excreting the bacteria has decreased, and then transmit the self-test result information to the company to which the employee belongs and a doctor such as an industrial physician to set up an interview with the doctor, which has a remarkable effect of preventing mass infection in advance. In addition, by exchanging sensitive personal information such as the self-test result within the information system, it has a very excellent effect of allowing all information handlers to perform their work appropriately while protecting personal information.

[0098] According to the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1 of an embodiment of the present invention, employee health information indicating the employee's physical condition can be transmitted to a doctor's computer and / or the employee's company computer, thereby providing the excellent effect of enabling employees to remotely share their own health information with a doctor or the employee's company and receive instructions on the appropriate course of action.

[0099] According to the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, medical opinion information, which is the opinion of the doctor who examined the employee, can be shared with the employee's company quickly and reliably, allowing the company to quickly decide whether or not to return the employee to work and quickly manage labor and adjust shifts, thereby minimizing losses to the company itself.

[0100] According to the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, an employee can receive treatment without meeting a doctor in person. Therefore, even if an employee's self-test is inappropriate and the employee continues to excrete bacteria, a doctor can view the employee's self-video information, assess the symptoms, and choose not to allow the employee to return to work. This has the excellent effect of reducing the social risk of infection spreading due to employees going out.

[0101] According to the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, information on whether an employee can return to work based on a doctor's opinion can be quickly and reliably shared between the employee and the employee's company, which is beneficial for both employees who wish to return to work quickly and their companies who wish to minimize losses due to employees being absent from work.

[0102] Among infectious diseases, influenza is a disease that repeats epidemics worldwide every year and is easily transmitted by droplet infection or contact infection. According to the infectious disease test result information sharing system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to prevent employees who are likely to be infected with influenza from going out or coming to the workplace, which has the excellent effect of preventing the spread of infection.

[0103] Furthermore, the infectious disease test result information sharing system and infectious disease test result information sharing method of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made within the scope that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.

[0104] For example, in the embodiment, influenza is given as an example of an infectious disease, but other infectious diseases, i.e. diseases caused by other bacteria or viruses, such as SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) caused by the new coronavirus and norovirus infection, may also be used.

[0105] In addition, for the self-test result information obtained by the self-testing device, there may be no need to provide a test result information judgment processing unit, and the employee may make the judgment, i.e., whether the employee is continuing to excrete bacteria, by following a manual or the like, and the employee computer 10 may transmit the judgment information to the affiliated company computer 20 or the doctor computer 30.

[0106] Although the employee computer 10 performs a process of receiving a video showing how to use the self-testing device from the testing device provider computer 40, the employee may obtain the usage instructions from a document or the like.

[0107] In the embodiment, the employee computer 10 transmits self-video information to the doctor computer 30, resulting in a flow for so-called remote medical treatment; however, the employee may also receive medical treatment directly from the industrial physician of his / her company or from a doctor at a designated medical facility and obtain medical opinion information.

[0108] In this embodiment, an example of information sharing between employees of a company and the company to which they belong is given, but it is clear that the present invention can be applied to other modified embodiments, specifically, information sharing between students and faculty and staff of a school and between schools. In that case, employees should be read as students and faculty and staff, and companies as organizations to which they belong. [Explanation of symbols]
