[0028] (Example 1) The medical cost reduction system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that uses a generating AI to reduce medical costs and reduce the number of times the patient needs to see a doctor. In this medical cost reduction system, a patient consults a generating AI before seeing a doctor, and the generating AI performs a primary examination of the patient's symptoms and determines whether the patient can be treated with over-the-counter medicine or whether a visit to a hospital is necessary. If the patient can be treated with an over-the-counter medicine, the generating AI presents an appropriate medicine to the patient, and if the patient is satisfied, the patient can purchase the medicine online on the spot and have it shipped to the patient's home in one stop. For example, a patient inputs symptoms into the generating AI. For example, specific symptoms such as "sore throat" and "fever" are input. This information is input into the generating AI. The generating AI then analyzes the input symptoms and performs a primary examination. The generating AI analyzes the details of the symptoms and determines whether the patient can be treated with over-the-counter medicine or whether a visit to a hospital is necessary. For example, in the case of symptoms that can be treated with over-the-counter medicine, such as a mild cold or headache, the generating AI presents an appropriate medicine. If the patient is satisfied with the medicine presented by the generating AI, the patient can purchase the medicine online on the spot. The generative AI provides detailed information about the medicine to the patient and guides them through the purchasing process. For example, it provides information such as the efficacy, side effects, and usage of the medicine. Finally, when the patient purchases the medicine online, the medicine is shipped to the patient's home. This allows the patient to get the medicine they need without having to see a doctor. For example, common over-the-counter medicines such as cold medicines and painkillers are covered. This system reduces the number of times patients have to see a doctor and helps to control medical expenses. In addition, patients can easily get medicine at home, which increases convenience. For example, it is very convenient for people who do not have time to go to the hospital, such as busy businessmen and the elderly. This allows the medical expense control system to control medical expenses and reduce the number of times patients have to see a doctor.
[0029] The medical cost reduction system according to the embodiment includes a reception unit, an analysis unit, a presentation unit, a purchase unit, and a shipping unit. The reception unit receives the symptoms of a patient. The symptoms of the patient include, for example, a cold, a headache, and a stomachache, but are not limited to such examples. The reception unit can input specific symptoms such as, for example, a "sore throat" and a "fever". The analysis unit uses a generation AI to analyze the symptoms received by the reception unit and perform a first examination. The first examination is performed, for example, based on a symptom severity evaluation and a diagnostic algorithm, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the symptoms of the patient and perform a first examination. The analysis unit can also use the generation AI to analyze the details of the symptoms and determine whether they can be treated with over-the-counter medicine or whether a hospital visit is necessary. The presentation unit uses the generation AI to present over-the-counter medicines based on the results determined by the analysis unit. The over-the-counter medicines include, for example, cold medicines, painkillers, and the like, but are not limited to such examples. The presentation unit, for example, presents an appropriate medicine to the patient using a generation AI and provides detailed information about the medicine. For example, information such as the efficacy, side effects, and usage of the medicine is provided. The purchase unit purchases the medicine presented by the presentation unit online. The online purchase is performed, for example, through a website or an app, but is not limited to such examples. For example, if the patient is satisfied with the presented medicine, the patient can purchase it online on the spot. The shipping unit ships the medicine purchased by the purchase unit to the patient's home. The shipping is performed, for example, through a delivery company, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the medicine is quickly shipped to the patient's home. As a result, the medical cost reduction system according to the embodiment can efficiently accept and analyze the patient's symptoms, present the appropriate medicine, and perform purchase and shipping in one stop.
[0030] The reception unit receives the symptoms of the patient. The symptoms of the patient include, but are not limited to, cold, headache, stomachache, etc. The reception unit allows the patient to input specific symptoms such as "sore throat" and "fever". Specifically, the reception unit provides an interface for the patient to use a smartphone or a personal computer to access a dedicated application or website and input symptoms. The patient can report the symptoms in detail through text input, selection from options, and even voice input. For example, by using a voice input function, the patient can easily complete the input by simply speaking their symptoms. In addition, the reception unit also simultaneously collects basic information of the patient (age, sex, medical history, etc.) and uses it as data to improve the accuracy of diagnosis in the analysis unit. Furthermore, the reception unit transmits the input information to the analysis unit in real time, enabling a quick response. In this way, the reception unit efficiently receives the symptoms of the patient and realizes a smooth data transfer to the analysis unit, which is the next step.
[0031] The analysis unit uses the generation AI to analyze the symptoms received by the reception unit and perform a first examination. The first examination is performed, for example, based on a symptom severity evaluation and a diagnostic algorithm, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, the generation AI uses a text generation AI (for example, LLM) to analyze the patient's symptoms and perform a first examination. The generation AI uses natural language processing technology to analyze text data entered by the patient and evaluates the severity and urgency of the symptoms. For example, based on symptoms such as "sore throat" and "fever," it determines that there is a high possibility of a cold and evaluates the severity as low. In addition, the generation AI refers to past diagnostic data and medical literature and applies the optimal diagnostic algorithm for the symptoms. Furthermore, the analysis unit can use the generation AI to analyze the details of the symptoms and determine whether they can be treated with over-the-counter medicine or whether a visit to a hospital is necessary. For example, if the symptoms are those of a cold, it determines that they can be treated with over-the-counter cold medicine and determines that there is no need to visit a hospital. On the other hand, if the symptoms are severe or if multiple specific symptoms overlap, a visit to a hospital is recommended. This enables the analysis unit to quickly and accurately analyze the patient's symptoms and provide an appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
[0032] The presentation unit uses the generation AI to present over-the-counter drugs based on the results determined by the analysis unit. Over-the-counter drugs include, but are not limited to, cold medicines and painkillers. Specifically, the generation AI presents appropriate drugs to the patient and provides detailed information about the drugs. The generation AI selects the most suitable over-the-counter drug based on the patient's symptoms and the analysis results, and provides information on the drug's efficacy, side effects, and usage. For example, for cold symptoms, a specific cold medicine is recommended, and the ingredients, effects, and side effects of the drug are explained in detail. The presentation unit also provides specific instructions on how to use the drug and precautions, and supports the patient to use the drug correctly. Furthermore, the presentation unit can display reviews and ratings from other users as a reference for the patient when selecting a drug. This allows the patient to obtain information to help them choose the drug that is best for them. The presentation unit utilizes the advanced analysis capabilities of the generation AI to quickly and accurately present the most suitable drug to the patient, thereby reducing medical expenses and improving convenience for the patient.
[0033] The purchasing unit purchases the medicine presented by the presentation unit online. The online purchase is performed, for example, through a website or an app, but is not limited to such examples. Specifically, if the patient is satisfied with the presented medicine, the patient can purchase the medicine online on the spot. The purchasing unit provides an interface for the patient to select the presented medicine and perform the purchase procedure. The patient can select a payment method such as a credit card or electronic money and easily complete the purchase procedure. The purchasing unit also has a function of saving the purchase history and simplifying the purchase procedure from the next time onwards. For example, a list of medicines purchased in the past can be displayed to make it easy to purchase again. Furthermore, the purchasing unit strengthens security measures and safely manages the patient's personal information and payment information. This allows the patient to purchase medicine online with peace of mind. The purchasing unit increases the convenience of the patient and also contributes to reducing medical expenses.
[0034] The shipping unit ships the medicine purchased by the purchasing unit to the patient's home. The shipping is performed, for example, through a delivery company, but is not limited to such an example. Specifically, the medicine is promptly shipped to the patient's home. The shipping unit promptly packs the medicine for which the purchase procedure has been completed and hands it over to the delivery company. The delivery company selects the optimal delivery route based on the patient's address and delivers the medicine promptly and reliably. In addition, the shipping unit provides a function for tracking the delivery status in real time, so that the patient can check where his or her medicine is. For example, the delivery status is updated at any time through a shipping notification email or a notification function of the app, providing the patient with a sense of security. In addition, the shipping unit also takes measures to maintain the quality of the medicine, such as temperature control during delivery and shock prevention measures. This allows the patient to receive high-quality medicine. The shipping unit realizes prompt and reliable delivery, improving the convenience and satisfaction of the patient.
[0035] The medical cost reduction system includes a medical history section that performs analysis based on the patient's past medical history. The medical history section takes into account the patient's past medical history. The past medical history includes, for example, electronic medical records and the patient's self-reporting, but is not limited to such examples. For example, the medical history section can analyze the association with the current symptoms based on the patient's past medical history. The medical history section can also provide optimal diagnosis and treatment based on the patient's past medical history. This enables more appropriate diagnosis and treatment by taking into account the patient's past medical history. Some or all of the above-mentioned processing in the medical history section may be performed using, for example, AI, or may be performed without using AI.

[0207] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping. Specifically, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the user according to an emotion map (see FIG. 9), which is a specific mapping. Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.
[0208] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0209] These emotions are distributed in the three o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0210] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0211] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.
[0212] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0213] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.
[0214] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.
[0215] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0216] In addition, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 upon request from the data processing device 12.
[0217] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
