Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present embodiment relates to a medical information generating apparatus, a medical information generating method, and a medical information generating program. Regarding. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are systems that link online interviews and medical information scattered inside and outside the clinic with the patient's physical information to create a patient profile, and then create a referral letter after adding or correcting it. For example, in a patient profile information system, a doctor combines online interviews and medical information scattered inside and outside the clinic to create a referral letter. Specifically, a patient profile information system stores a summary of the patient's illness and a summary of the background leading to the patient's health condition, manages and analyzes patient information, and displays at least the latest information.

[0003] Conventionally, there is a technology in which a doctor interviews a patient in a clinic set up in a virtual space such as the metaverse (hereinafter referred to as a metaverse clinic) and issues a medical information report such as a referral letter. However, if a medical information report is created using only the information available to the doctor in the metaverse clinic, the medical information report may lack necessary information.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-57282 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to generate medical information provision data including necessary and sufficient information for providing medical information based on an interview with a patient in a virtual space. However, the problem to be solved by the embodiments disclosed in this specification and the drawings is not limited to the above problem. Problems corresponding to the effects of each configuration shown in the embodiments described later can also be positioned as other problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The medical information generating device according to the present embodiment includes a first acquisition unit, an identification unit, a presentation unit, a second acquisition unit, and a generation unit. The first acquisition unit acquires subject information about the subject by a visit to a virtual clinic in a virtual space by an avatar of the subject in the virtual space. The identification unit identifies missing information in medical information provision data about the subject based on the subject information. The presentation unit presents to the subject's avatar and the doctor's avatar at the visit whether or not it is necessary to acquire missing-related information about the missing information from a partial virtual space of the virtual space excluding the virtual clinic. The second acquisition unit acquires the missing-related information from the partial virtual space when the subject and the doctor agree to acquire the missing-related information. The generation unit generates medical information provision data about the provision of medical information based on the subject information and the missing-related information.

[0008] Hereinafter, the medical information generating device, the medical information generating method, and the medical information generating program will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments, parts with the same reference numerals perform the same operations, and redundant explanations will be omitted as appropriate. Note that the medical information generating device according to the present application is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0009] (Embodiment) The overall configuration of the medical information generating device according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a medical information generating system 100 including a configuration example of the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the medical information generating system 100 includes the medical information generating device 1, a server device 3, a user terminal device 5, and a subject terminal device 7. The medical information generating device 1, the server device 3, the user terminal device 5, and the subject terminal device 7 are connected by a network 9. This allows the medical information generating device 1, the server device 3, the user terminal device 5, and the subject terminal device 7 to communicate with each other. The network 9 can be a known network such as the Internet or a block chain network.

[0010] The server device 3 generates data of a three-dimensional virtual space. The three-dimensional virtual space is, for example, data of a metaverse. Hereinafter, for the sake of specificity, the three-dimensional virtual space will be described as a metaverse. The virtual space is not limited to the metaverse, and may be another known virtual space. The server device 2 stores the generated metaverse data in a memory (not shown). The metaverse data is, for example, a combination of a plurality of three-dimensional images. The three-dimensional image data may be either a still image or a moving image. A virtual clinic (hereinafter, referred to as a virtual clinic) is set in the metaverse. The virtual clinic may be referred to as a metaverse clinic. The metaverse data may include a metaverse clinic. Since known data and metaverse clinics can be applied, description thereof will be omitted.

[0011] When the user terminal device 5 accesses the server device 3, the server device 3 transmits metaverse data to the user terminal device 5. When the subject terminal device 7 accesses the server device 3, the server device 3 transmits metaverse data to the subject terminal device 7. The configuration and functions of the server device 3 that realizes the metaverse can be known and therefore will not be described.

[0012] The user terminal device 5 is a terminal device used by a user, and is realized by, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like. The user terminal device 5 creates an avatar for the user according to the user's instruction. The avatar is not limited to an avatar in the narrow sense, such as an animation, but includes an avatar in the broad sense, such as a three-dimensional moving image of a subject displayed by a camera in real space (three-dimensional moving image) or a hologram in a virtual space. The user is, for example, a doctor who interviews the subject. Hereinafter, for the sake of concrete explanation, the user's avatar is called a doctor avatar. The user terminal device 5 stores the created doctor avatar and the metaverse data transmitted from the server device 3 in a memory in the user terminal device 5. The user terminal device 5 is not limited to generating one doctor avatar, and may generate multiple doctor avatars.

[0013] The user terminal device 5 displays the metaverse data as a three-dimensional image. At this time, the user terminal device 5 displays, for example, a doctor avatar superimposed on the metaverse data. The user terminal device 5 may also display the doctor avatar and / or the metaverse data by deforming it using affine transformation or the like according to the user's movement. The configuration and functions of the user terminal device 5 are not described here because known configurations and functions can be used. In addition, in the following description, it is assumed that the location where the doctor avatar is located in the metaverse is a metaverse clinic. At this time, the user appropriately examines (interrogates) the avatar of the subject (hereinafter referred to as the subject avatar) who has visited the metaverse clinic via the user terminal device 5 and the doctor avatar.

[0014] The subject terminal device 7 is a terminal device used by the subject, and is realized by, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet, etc. The subject terminal device 7 creates an avatar of the subject (hereinafter referred to as a subject avatar) in response to an instruction from the subject. The subject is, for example, a patient visiting a metaverse clinic. The subject terminal device 7 stores the created subject avatar and the metaverse data transmitted from the server device 3 in a memory of the subject terminal device 7. Note that the subject terminal device 7 is not limited to generating one subject avatar, and may generate multiple subject avatars.

[0015] The subject terminal device 7 displays the metaverse data as a three-dimensional image. At this time, the subject terminal device 7 displays, for example, a subject avatar superimposed on the metaverse data. The subject terminal device 7 may also display the subject avatar and / or the metaverse data by, for example, deforming the subject avatar and / or the metaverse data by affine transformation according to the subject's movement. The configuration and functions of the subject terminal device 7 can be known and therefore will not be described. In addition, in the following description, it is assumed that the place visited by the subject avatar in the metaverse is a metaverse clinic. At this time, the subject is examined by a doctor avatar in the metaverse clinic via the subject terminal device 7 and the subject avatar.

[0016] The medical information generating device 1 is connected to the network 9 via a communication interface 11. The medical information generating device 1 may be incorporated in the server device 3 and / or the user terminal device 5. The medical information generating device 1 may also be realized as, for example, a client-server system. The medical information generating device 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a communication interface 11, a memory 13 (storage unit), a display 15 (display unit), an input interface 17 (input unit), and a processing circuit 19 (processing unit). Data communication between the communication interface 11, the memory 13, the display 15, the input interface 17, and the processing circuit 19 is performed via a bus (BUS).

[0017] The communication interface 11 performs data communication between the server device 3 and the user terminal device 5. The communication standard between the communication interface 11, the server device 3, and the user terminal device 5 may be any standard.

[0018] The memory 13 is a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), an integrated circuit storage device, etc., which stores various information. In addition to an HDD or SSD, the memory 13 may be a drive device that reads and writes various information between the memory 13 and a portable storage medium such as a CD (Compact Disc), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), or a flash memory, or a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc.

[0019] The memory 13 stores various programs related to the execution of, for example, the system control function 191, the first acquisition function 193, the identification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, the generation function 201, etc. The memory 13 also stores data (medical information provision data) generated by the execution of, for example, the system control function 191, the first acquisition function 193, the identification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, the generation function 201, etc.

[0020] The medical information provision data is, for example, data corresponding to a medical information provision form. The medical information provision form is a referral letter that introduces a subject from a metaverse clinic to a real hospital, a report that is submitted to an insurance company when a subject is introduced from a metaverse clinic to a real hospital via the insurance company (hereinafter referred to as an insurance submission report), etc. Note that the medical information provision data is not limited to the above-mentioned referral letter and insurance submission report, and may be known data provided by the metaverse clinic regarding information regarding the subject's medical treatment. The generated data and their functions will be described later.

[0021] The memory 13 stores subject information acquired by the first acquisition function 193 from the server device 3, the user terminal device 5, the subject terminal device 7, etc. The subject information is information about a subject, and is acquired, for example, by a subject avatar in a virtual space visiting a virtual clinic in the virtual space. The subject information corresponds to the result of an interview with the subject avatar by a doctor avatar (hereinafter referred to as the interview result), such as the subject's name, age, medical history, etc.

[0022] The memory 13 stores the deficiency-related information acquired from the server device 3 by the second acquisition function 199. The deficiency-related information is information related to the missing information in the medical information provision data related to the subject. The deficiency-related information is acquired from a partial virtual space (hereinafter referred to as the partial metaverse) excluding the virtual clinic (metaverse clinic) of the virtual space (metaverse). That is, the deficiency-related information corresponds to information acquired from the partial metaverse in relation to the missing information according to the interview result. In other words, the deficiency-related information may be the missing information itself among the information acquired from the partial metaverse, or information having the same attribute as the missing information but having content close to the missing information, not the missing information itself. For example, when the missing information is the amount of exercise, the deficiency-related information is the number of steps, etc. Acquisition of the deficiency-related information will be described later.

[0023] The memory 13 stores a correspondence table between items (hereinafter, referred to as essential items) that need to be described in the medical information provision data according to the disease name and the disease name and / or symptoms. The correspondence table is used when the identifying function 195 is executed. The memory 13 also stores an outline (summary) of the deficiency related information obtained by the identifying function 195 traversing the metaverse. The outline of the deficiency related information is, for example, supplementary information of the deficiency related information, in other words, metadata of the deficiency related information, etc. The supplementary information or metadata is data summarizing the deficiency related information, and / or tag information of the deficiency related information, data indicating the nature of the deficiency related information, etc. The memory 13 stores the interview results for the subject. The memory 13 also stores the medical information provision data generated by the generating function 201.

[0024] The display 15 displays various information. For example, the display 15 outputs a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for receiving various operations from a user. For example, the display 15 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD), a cathode ray tube (CRT) display, an organic electroluminescence display (OELD), a plasma display, or any other arbitrary display, as appropriate.

[0025] The display 15 may be a desktop type, or may be configured as a tablet terminal or the like capable of wireless communication with the main body of the medical information generating apparatus 1. The display 15 does not have to be mounted on the medical information generating apparatus 1, and various functions of the display 15 may be realized by the user terminal device 5 and the subject terminal device 7.

[0026] The input interface 17 accepts various input operations from an operator who operates the medical information generating device 1, converts the accepted input operations into electrical signals, and outputs the electrical signals to the processing circuit 19. For example, the input interface 17 accepts selection instructions, various conditions, and the like from the operator. As the input interface 17, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a trackball, a switch, a button, a joystick, a touch pad, a touch panel display, and the like can be appropriately used.

[0027] In this embodiment, the input interface 17 is not limited to one having physical operation parts such as a mouse, a keyboard, a trackball, a switch, a button, a joystick, a touchpad, and a touch panel display. For example, an example of the input interface 17 includes an electrical signal processing circuit that receives an electrical signal corresponding to an input operation from an external input device provided separately from the device and outputs the electrical signal to the processing circuit 19. The input interface 17 may be configured as a tablet terminal or the like capable of wireless communication with the main body of the medical information processing device 1. The input interface 17 does not have to be mounted on the medical information generating device 1, and various functions of the input interface 17 may be realized by the user terminal device 5 and the subject terminal device 7.

[0028] The processing circuitry 19 controls the operation of the entire medical information generating device 1 in response to an electrical signal of an input operation output from the input interface 17. For example, the processing circuitry 19 has, as hardware resources, a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and a memory such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) or a RAM. The processing circuitry 19 may also be realized by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), another Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD), a Simple Programmable Logic Device (SPLD), or the like.

[0029] The processing circuit 19 has, for example, a system control function 191, a first acquisition function 193, a specification function 195, a presentation function 197, a second acquisition function 199, and a generation function 201. In the system control function 191, the first acquisition function 193, the specification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, and the generation function 201, each function is stored in the memory 13 in the form of a program executable by a computer. The processing circuit 19 executes the system control function 191, the first acquisition function 193, the specification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, and the generation function 201 by a processor that executes the program deployed in the memory.

[0030] That is, the processing circuit 19 corresponds to a processor that realizes a function corresponding to each program by reading and executing the program from the memory 13. In other words, the processing circuit 19 in a state in which each program is read has a function corresponding to the read program. Note that each function in the system control function 191, the first acquisition function 193, the identification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, and the generation function 201 is not limited to being realized by a single processing circuit. A processing circuit may be configured by combining a plurality of independent processors, and each processor may execute a program to realize each function in the system control function 191, the first acquisition function 193, the identification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, and the generation function 201. The processing circuit 19 that realizes the system control function 191, the first acquisition function 193, the identification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, and the generation function 201 is an example of a system control unit, a first acquisition unit, an identification unit, a presentation unit, a second acquisition unit, and a generation unit.

[0031] The processing circuit 19 controls each function of the processing circuit 19 by the system control function 191. Specifically, the processing circuit 19 reads out a control program stored in the memory 13, expands it on the memory in the processing circuit 19, and controls each part of the medical information generating device 1 according to the expanded control program. The first acquisition function 193, the identification function 195, the presentation function 197, the second acquisition function 199, and the generation function 201 realized by the processing circuit 19 will be described later along with the procedure for executing the process of generating medical information provision data (hereinafter referred to as medical information provision data generation process). Note that the first acquisition function 193 and the second acquisition function 199 may be realized by one acquisition function. In this case, the first acquisition unit and the second acquisition unit may be referred to as an integrated acquisition unit (or collection unit).

[0032] The overall configuration of the medical information generating device 1 and the medical information generating system 100 has been described above. The procedure of the medical care provision data generation process will be described below. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the procedure of the medical care provision data generation process. It is assumed that the subject and the doctor have accessed the metaverse prior to the execution of the medical care provision data generation process. In addition, it is assumed that the doctor avatar is waiting at the metaverse clinic.

[0033] In addition, data collected in real space by various sensors in the subject terminal device 7 and the like (hereinafter referred to as collected data) is uploaded from the subject terminal device 7 to the server device 3 as needed. The collected data is not limited to data collected by sensors such as the subject's number of steps, REM sleep time, non-REM sleep time, meal amount, number of meals, tooth brushing time, and number of times teeth are brushed, but may also include the number of tweets of the subject avatar, the content of the tweets, the content of the conversation by the subject avatar in the metaverse, places the subject avatar has visited in the metaverse, the time spent at the places, the attitude of the subject avatar in the metaverse, and various behavioral histories such as the subject avatar's movements related to harassment in the metaverse, and medical information such as the heart rate and respiratory rate. All collected data related to the actions, behavior, movements, medical information, and the like of the subject avatar in the metaverse is stored (accumulated) in the server device 3.

[0034] (Medical treatment provision data generation processing) (Step S201) The subject avatar visits a metaverse clinic in the metaverse. For example, the subject avatar visits the metaverse clinic in response to the subject's operation of the subject terminal device 7. As a result, the subject's avatar in the virtual space visits a virtual clinic in the virtual space.

[0035] (Step S202) The doctor avatar performs a medical interview with the subject in the metaverse clinic. Specifically, the doctor operates the doctor avatar by various inputs via the user terminal device 5, and examines the subject via the subject avatar in the metaverse clinic. In this way, the doctor avatar examines the subject via the subject avatar in the virtual space.

[0036] (Step S203) The processing circuit 19 acquires subject information corresponding to the interview result by the first acquisition function 193. That is, the first acquisition function 193 acquires subject information about the subject by having an avatar of the subject in the virtual space visit a virtual clinic in the virtual space. The first acquisition function 193 stores the subject information in the memory 13. The subject information is acquired by interviewing the subject, and therefore includes, for example, the name of the subject's disease, the subject's name, symptoms, age, etc.

[0037] (Step S204) The processing circuit 19 uses the identification function 195 to identify missing information in the medical information provision data related to the subject based on the subject information. Specifically, the identification function 195 compares the disease name in the subject information with the correspondence table. As a result, the identification function 195 identifies the required items for the disease name. Next, the identification function 195 compares the subject information with the required items. As a result, the identification function 195 identifies the missing information in the medical information provision data. In other words, the identification function 195 identifies information in which the required items are missing in the subject information as missing information.

[0038] (Step S205) The processing circuit 19 uses the identification function 195 to search for missing related information related to the missing information by patrolling the partial metaverse of the metaverse excluding the metaverse clinic for information identifying the subject (such as the subject's name and ID). Through this search, the identification function 195 detects missing related information. The identification function 195 stores metadata (outline) of the detected missing related information in the memory 13. This allows the missing related information in the metaverse to be detected. Note that the identification function 195 may constantly patrol the partial metaverse to search for multiple required items corresponding to multiple disease names. At this time, the patrol of the partial metaverse for searching for required items may be performed as soon as the subject's name, ID, etc. are determined.

[0039] For example, when the description of the amount of exercise is a required item in the medical information provision data related to the disease name of the subject, the identification function 195 patrols the partial metaverse and detects data related to the amount of exercise as deficiency related information. The data related to the amount of exercise is, for example, the number of steps of the subject avatar in the partial metaverse, which corresponds to the number of steps of the subject in the real space.

[0040] (Step S206) The processing circuit 19 presents the need to acquire missing related information to the subject avatar and the doctor avatar by the presentation function 197. That is, the presentation function 197 presents the need to acquire missing related information from a partial virtual space (partial metaverse) excluding the virtual clinic (meta-clinic) of the virtual space (metaverse) (hereinafter, referred to as the need to acquire missing data) to the subject avatar and the doctor avatar at the consultation.

[0041] Specifically, the presentation function 197 transmits data relating to the display of whether or not the missing data needs to be acquired to the user terminal device 5 and the subject terminal device 7. The data relating to the display of whether or not the missing data needs to be acquired includes, for example, a display layout and display content of whether or not the missing data needs to be acquired, and a procedure (display procedure or display protocol) for displaying the display content in the display layout on the display device in the user terminal device 5 and the display device in the subject terminal device 7. By transmitting the data relating to the display of whether or not the missing data needs to be acquired, the presentation function 197 causes the display device in the user terminal device 5 and the display device in the subject terminal device 7 to display whether or not the missing data needs to be acquired. As a result, whether or not the missing data-related information needs to be acquired is presented to the subject avatar and the doctor avatar.

[0042] In the above description, the inquiry as to whether or not the shortage-related information needs to be acquired is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the doctor and the subject may be asked as a voice whether or not the shortage-related information needs to be acquired. In this case, the presentation function 197 causes the user terminal device 5 and the subject terminal device 7 to output a voice regarding the necessity of acquiring the shortage-related information.

[0043] (Step S207) When consent is input by the subject and the doctor regarding the acquisition of the shortage-related information via the user terminal device 5 and the subject terminal device 7, the processing circuit 19 acquires the shortage-related information from the partial metaverse by the second acquisition function 199. That is, after consent is given by the subject and the doctor regarding the acquisition of the shortage-related information, the second acquisition function 199 acquires the shortage-related information from the partial metaverse in the server device 3. The second acquisition function 199 stores the acquired shortage-related information in the memory 13.

[0044] (Step S208) The processing circuit 19 generates, by the generating function 201, information required to provide medical information based on the missing related information. The missing information is, for example, information that supplements the missing information. Specifically, the generating function 201 generates the missing information by selecting and / or processing the missing related information based on a priority according to the disease name. The priority is stored in the memory 13 as a required item for the above correspondence table according to, for example, the disease name of the subject. As the priority, for example, when there are multiple identical behavior histories in the behavior history of the subject avatar in the partial metaverse, the most recent one is adopted (selected) as the information required to be provided.

[0045] Furthermore, for example, when the subject's illness is nervous fatigue or cold, the essential items include sleep time. In this case, when the REM sleep time and the non-REM sleep time are acquired as deficiency-related information by the second acquisition function 199, the generation function 201 calculates the sum of the REM sleep time and the non-REM sleep time to calculate, for example, the sleep time, which is an essential item for nervous fatigue.

[0046] For example, if the subject's illness is a mental illness, the required items include the subject's conversation content. In this case, if the conversation content of the subject's avatar in the partial metaverse is acquired as missing related information by the second acquisition function 199, the generation function 201 selects and processes the missing related information to generate information to be provided that corresponds to the conversation content related to emotional instability in the conversation content.

[0047] For example, if the subject is suspected of having influenza, information such as coughing while sleeping is adopted as high-priority information that is outside the metaverse clinic but within the metaverse (i.e., within the partial metaverse). On the other hand, information about places that the subject avatar has visited within the partial metaverse is considered to be low-priority information and is not adopted as information that is required to be provided.

[0048] For example, if the subject is suspected of having a chronic disease, a long-term history (such as a behavioral history) is given priority as the information required to be provided. On the other hand, if the subject is suspected of having an acute disease, a short-term behavioral history of about 2-3 days after the subject avatar visits the Metaverse Clinic is given priority as the information required to be provided.

[0049] For example, if a subject is suspected of having tooth decay, information about the number of times the subject's avatar has tweeted about pain or brushed their teeth in the partial metaverse is given priority as necessary information. On the other hand, information about a subject's mental state, such as poor grades at school and depression, is given a lower priority as necessary information.

[0050] As described above, the generating function 201 selects and / or processes the shortage-related information based on the priority according to the disease name, and generates the information to be provided appropriately according to the disease name of the subject. The above description is an example, and the information to be provided is generated by appropriately selecting and processing the shortage-related information according to the disease name, essential action, and priority of the subject. In this way, the generating function 201 can select and discard the miscellaneous and vast amount of information in the metaverse based on the subject information having the disease name and / or symptoms, etc.

[0051] (Step S209) When the provision-necessary information is generated, the processing circuit 19 presents, via the presentation function 197, the adoption or rejection of the provision-necessary information in the medical information provision data to the subject avatar. Specifically, the presentation function 197 transmits data relating to the display of the adoption or rejection to the subject terminal device 7. The data relating to the display of the adoption or rejection includes, for example, a display layout and display content of the adoption or rejection, and a procedure (display procedure or display protocol) for displaying the display content in the display layout on the display device of the subject terminal device 7. The presentation function 197 transmits the data relating to the display of the adoption or rejection to cause the display device of the subject terminal device 7 to display the adoption or rejection. As a result, the adoption or rejection is presented to the subject avatar.

[0052] The presentation function 197 may present the information required to be provided to the subject avatar. At this time, the presentation function 197 transmits the information required to be provided to the subject terminal device 7. Next, the presentation function 197 causes the display device of the subject terminal device 7 to display the information required to be provided by transmitting the information required to be provided.

[0053] In the above description, the inquiry as to whether or not the necessary information is included in the medical information provision data is displayed, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the subject may be asked whether or not the necessary information is included by voice. In this case, the presentation function 197 causes the subject terminal device 7 to output a voice regarding the adoption or rejection of the necessary information.

[0054] In this way, the subject can select which required information to include in the medical information provision data. For example, if the subject is suspected of having a mental illness, the subject can refuse to include the required information in the medical information provision data for the history of unconscious behavior (the subject's avatar's movements related to harassment).

[0055] (Step S210) The processing circuitry 19 generates medical information provision data related to the provision of medical information by using the necessary information agreed to by the subject and the subject information, using the generating function 201. For example, the generating function 201 generates medical information provision data by arranging the necessary information agreed to by the subject and the subject information in a format corresponding to the medical information provision data. The format is stored in advance in the memory 13 according to the medical institution and insurance company. For example, when the medical information provision data is a referral letter to be submitted to a hospital in the real world, the generating function 201 generates medical information provision data by describing the necessary information agreed to by the subject and the subject information in a format corresponding to the hospital.

[0056] Furthermore, the processing circuitry 19 may generate medical information provision data so that the subject information and the necessary provision information are displayed in different display modes by the generating function 201. If the subject refuses to include (adopt) the necessary provision information in the medical information provision data, the generating function 201 generates the medical information provision data without adopting the necessary provision information rejected by the subject.

[0057] (Step S211) The processing circuit 19 presents the medical information provision data to the subject avatar and the doctor avatar by the presentation function 197. Specifically, the presentation function 197 transmits the medical information provision data to the user terminal device 5 and the subject terminal device 7. The presentation function 197 transmits the medical information provision data to display the medical information provision data on the display device of the user terminal device 5 and the display device of the subject terminal device 7. At this time, the presentation function 197 presents the medical information provision data to the subject avatar and the doctor avatar in different display modes of the subject information and the information required to be provided. The different display modes are, for example, different hues, repetitions, the presence or absence of highlighting, different fonts, etc.

[0058] Furthermore, when the medical information provision data is presented, the name of the subject may be selected in response to an instruction from the subject via the subject terminal device 7. Furthermore, whether or not to include the name of the subject in the medical information provision data may be selected in response to an instruction from the subject via the subject terminal device 7. For example, the processing circuitry 19 edits, by the generating function 201, whether or not to include the name of the subject in the medical information provision data in response to the selection of whether or not to include the name of the subject in the medical information provision data, thereby correcting the medical information provision data.

[0059] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a portion of medical information provision data presented to a subject avatar. As shown in FIG. 3, in the portion of the medical information provision data, it is written, as subject information PI, that the subject's symptom is nervous fatigue, that the subject is 40 years old, that the diet is good, and that the weight loss is less than 5 kg. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, in the portion of the medical information provision data, it is written, as provision necessary information PNI, that the amount of exercise is 4500 steps, and that the sleep time is 4.5 hours. The sleep time is the total time of REM sleep and non-REM sleep. As shown in FIG. 3, the subject information PI and the provision necessary information PNI are displayed in different manners.

[0060] (Step S212) After the subject and the doctor confirm the medical information provision data by the system control function 191, the processing circuitry 19 stores the confirmed medical information provision data in the memory 13. The system control function 191 may transmit the confirmed medical information provision data to the user terminal device 5. At this time, the system control function 191 stores the confirmed medical information provision data in the memory of the user terminal device 5.

[0061] The medical information generating device 1 of the embodiment described above acquires subject information about the subject by having the subject's avatar in the virtual space visit a virtual clinic in the virtual space, identifies missing information in the medical information provision data about the subject based on the subject information, and presents to the subject's avatar and the doctor's avatar during the visit whether or not to acquire missing-related information related to the missing information from a partial virtual space of the virtual space excluding the virtual clinic, and when the subject and the doctor agree to acquire the missing-related information, acquires the missing-related information from the partial virtual space, and generates medical information provision data regarding the provision of medical information based on the subject information and the missing-related information.

[0062] Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of generating medical information provision data as a comparative example. In the comparative example shown in Fig. 4, subject information PI is acquired in the metaverse clinic MVC by a medical interview by a doctor avatar DA. Next, medical information provision data CPRD in the comparative example is generated reflecting only the subject information PI acquired in the metaverse clinic MVC, and is transmitted to, for example, a doctor RDR of a hospital in the real space RS.

[0063] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the generation of medical information provision data PRD according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, subject information PI is acquired in the metaverse clinic MVC by a medical interview by a doctor avatar DA. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the shortage related information PNI is acquired by using the space of a part of the metaverse MV, which is larger than the metaverse clinic MVC except for the metaverse clinic MVC. Next, the medical information provision data PRD according to the embodiment is generated by reflecting the subject information PI and the shortage related information PNI acquired in the metaverse clinic MVC, and is transmitted to, for example, a doctor RDR of a hospital in the real space RS.

[0064] As is clear from a comparison between FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment, a huge amount of information recorded in the virtual space (e.g., metaverse) MV can be utilized for medical information provision data PRD such as a referral letter (medical information provision document). That is, since the referral letter in the real space RS cannot record information outside the hospital, this cannot be realized. However, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment, by utilizing information in the partial metaverse PMV, information outside the hospital can be utilized for the medical information provision data PRD. In other words, as shown in FIG. 5, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment, by utilizing information in the metaverse clinic MVC and by utilizing a large amount of information acquired from the metaverse clinic outside PMV to generate the medical information provision data PRD, it is possible to generate the medical information provision data PRD including necessary and sufficient information (including information unique to the metaverse).

[0065] Moreover, the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment generates necessary information required for providing medical information based on the shortage-related information PNI, generates medical information provision data PRD using the subject information PI and the necessary information, and presents the medical information provision data to the subject avatar and the doctor avatar in different display forms for the subject information and the necessary information. Moreover, the subject information in the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment has a disease name related to the subject, and the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment selects and / or processes shortage-related information based on a priority according to the disease name to generate the necessary information.

[0066] As a result, according to the medical information generating device 1 of the embodiment, by using the priority set according to the disease of the subject, it is possible to prevent the amount of information included in the medical information provision data PRD from becoming excessive, and it is possible to adjust the quantity and quality of the information (information required to be provided) included in the medical information provision data PRD, thereby increasing the value of the medical information provision data PRD. Furthermore, according to the medical information generating device 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to distinguish and visualize the source (information source) of the information included in the medical information provision data PRD between information acquired within the metaverse clinic MVC and information acquired outside the metaverse clinic (partial metaverse PMV). Therefore, according to the medical information generating device 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to improve the user's understanding of the medical information provision data PRD.

[0067] Furthermore, the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment presents the necessary provision information to the avatar of the subject, and if the subject refuses to have the necessary provision information included in the medical information provision data PRD, generates the medical information provision data without adopting the necessary provision information rejected by the subject. As a result, the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment can generate the medical information provision data PRD according to the subject's intention.

[0068] From the above, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment, by generating the medical information provision data PRD using the data in the partial metaverse PMV, it is possible to reduce the lack of information in the medical information provision data PRD, and to generate the medical information provision data PRD including necessary and sufficient information. In addition, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment, even if a subject has difficulty visiting the hospital due to mental illness, fracture, influenza, etc., the medical information provision data PRD can be easily generated by visiting the metaverse clinic MVC in the metaverse MV, and the threshold for visiting the hospital in the real space RS can be lowered. Therefore, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the embodiment, even if the subject has difficulty visiting the hospital, the quality of life can be improved.

[0069] (First application example) In this application example, the consistency (presence or absence of contradiction) between the statement of the subject acquired in the metaverse clinic MVC and the behavior of the subject avatar acquired in the partial metaverse PMV is determined, and if the statement and the behavior are contradictory, the medical information provision data is generated in a display mode in which the reliability of the information required to be provided related to the statement and the behavior is reduced, and if the statement and the behavior are consistent, the medical information provision data is generated in a display mode in which the reliability of the information required to be provided related to the statement and the behavior is increased. Note that the generating function 201 may write the reliability as additional information in the medical information provision data. The display mode in which the reliability is increased can be set arbitrarily, for example, by highlighting, graying, adding a flag, or adding a note below the medical information provision data.

[0070] The processing circuit 19 further acquires utterance data indicating the subject's utterance in the virtual clinic MVC by the first acquisition function 193. That is, the first acquisition function 193 acquires utterance data corresponding to the subject's avatar's utterance to the doctor avatar DA from the metaverse clinic MVC. The first acquisition function 193 stores the acquired utterance data in the memory 13.

[0071] The processing circuit 19 acquires behavioral data indicating the behavior of the subject's avatar in the partial virtual space PMV as part of the deficiency-related information by the second acquisition function 199. That is, the second acquisition function 199 acquires behavioral data regarding the subject's avatar from the partial metaverse PMV. The second acquisition function 199 stores the acquired behavioral data in the memory 13.

[0072] The processing circuit 19 uses the generating function 201 to determine whether the contents of the utterance data and the contents of the behavioral data are consistent, i.e., whether they are contradictory. If the contents of the utterance data and the contents of the behavioral data are contradictory, the generating function 201 generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the information required to be provided regarding the utterance and the behavior is reduced. The display mode in which the reliability is reduced can be set arbitrarily, for example, by highlighting, graying, adding a flag, or adding a note below the medical information provision data.

[0073] When the content of the utterance data and the content of the behavioral data are inconsistent, the processing circuit 19 may present the inconsistency between the content of the utterance data and the content of the behavioral data to the doctor avatar and / or the subject avatar by the presentation function 197. Specifically, the presentation function 197 presents the inconsistency to the doctor avatar via the user terminal device 5. The presentation function 197 may also present the inconsistency to the subject avatar via the subject terminal device 7. Presentation of the inconsistency can be achieved by any known method, such as display and / or audio output in the user terminal device 5, as long as the inconsistency can be communicated to the doctor as an alert.

[0074] When the inconsistency is presented to the doctor avatar, the processing circuit 19 uses the presentation function 197 to present the doctor avatar with a selection or modification of the necessary information regarding the inconsistency. This allows the doctor avatar to select or modify the necessary information regarding the inconsistency. Also, when the inconsistency is presented to the subject avatar, the processing circuit 19 uses the presentation function 197 to present the subject avatar with a selection of the necessary information regarding the inconsistency. This allows the subject avatar to select whether or not to include the necessary information regarding the inconsistency in the medical information provision data. As a result, the processing circuit 19 uses the generation function 201 to generate medical information provision data in accordance with the doctor's modification of the necessary information regarding the inconsistency, or the doctor's or subject's selection of whether or not to include the necessary information in the medical information provision data.

[0075] Furthermore, when the content of the utterance data and the content of the behavior data match, the processing circuit 19 generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the information required to be provided regarding the utterance and the behavior is increased by the generation function 201. For example, when the result of the medical interview in the metaverse clinic MVC matches the information obtained in the partial metaverse PMV outside the metaverse clinic, the generation function 201 sets the reliability of the medical interview result in the metaverse clinic MVC to be high.

[0076] Also, for example, when the subject answers (says) "I've been playing games a lot lately and barely exercising" in a medical interview with the subject avatar in the metaverse clinic MVC, the subject's statement is recorded as is in the medical information provision data in the comparative example. On the other hand, in the first application example of this embodiment, the processing circuit 19 uses the generation function 201 to compare the content of the statement "I've been playing games a lot lately and barely exercising" with the amount of activity obtained in the partial metaverse PMV outside the metaverse clinic MVC. At this time, if the subject's amount of activity (amount of exercise) is really only 100 steps every day, the generation function 201 records the subject's statement (subject information) of "I've barely exercising" in the medical information provision data as "high reliability."

[0077] The medical information generating device 1 of the first application example of the embodiment described above further acquires utterance data indicating the subject's utterances within the virtual clinic, and acquires behavioral data indicating the behavior of the subject's avatar in the partial virtual space as part of the deficiency-related information.If the content of the utterance data and the content of the behavioral data are contradictory, medical information provision data is generated in a display mode in which the reliability of the information that needs to be provided regarding the utterances and behavior is reduced, and if the content of the utterance data and the content of the behavioral data are consistent, medical information provision data is generated in a display mode in which the reliability of the information that needs to be provided regarding the utterances and behavior is increased.

[0078] As a result, the medical information generating device 1 according to the first application example allows the user to easily check the inconsistency or consistency between the content of the utterance data and the content of the behavior data in the medical information provision data, and therefore the reliability of the medical information provision data can be easily understood. Therefore, the medical information generating device 1 according to the first application example can improve the efficiency of medical treatment for subjects.

[0079] In addition, the medical information generating device 1 according to the first application example of the embodiment further acquires utterance data indicating the subject's utterance in the virtual clinic, and acquires behavioral data indicating the behavior of the subject's avatar in the partial virtual space as part of the deficiency-related information. When the content of the utterance data and the content of the behavioral data are inconsistent, the inconsistency between the utterance and the behavior is presented to the doctor's avatar and / or the subject's avatar, and medical information provision data is generated according to the doctor's correction of the necessary information to be provided in relation to the inconsistency, or the doctor or the subject's selection of whether or not to include the necessary information in the medical information provision data. As a result, the medical information generating device 1 according to the first application example can generate medical information provision data in which the inconsistency between the utterance and the behavior is resolved. Therefore, the medical information generating device 1 according to the first application example can generate medical information provision data with improved accuracy, and the efficiency of medical treatment for the subject can be improved. Other effects of the medical information generating device 1 according to the first application example of the embodiment are similar to those of the embodiment, and therefore will not be described.

[0080] (Second application example) This application example is to generate medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of information required to be provided is changed according to the punctuality of the behavior history of the subject avatar. The processing circuit 19 acquires, by the second acquisition function 199, the behavior history of the subject's avatar in the partial virtual space (partial metaverse) PMV (hereinafter referred to as avatar behavior history) as a part of the deficiency related information. The second acquisition function 199 stores the avatar behavior history in the memory 13.

[0081] The processing circuit 19 generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the information required to be provided is changed according to the frequency of the subject avatar's behavior and / or the punctuality of the subject avatar's behavior in the behavior history, i.e., the avatar behavior history, by the generating function 201. For example, when the subject avatar performs the same behavior at the same time every day (high punctuality) in the avatar behavior history, the generating function 201 sets the reliability of the information required to be provided regarding the behavior history to be high.

[0082] That is, the processing circuit 19 sets the reliability of the necessary information recorded daily among the necessary information existing continuously in a chronological order by the generating function 201 to be high, and sets the reliability of the necessary information recorded only once a month (low punctuality), for example, to be low. Also, for example, when the amount of activity in the partial metaverse PMV is low, the generating function 201 sets the reliability of the necessary information to be provided less frequently to be low. For example, when the body temperature is recorded daily for the subject avatar, the generating function 201 sets the reliability of the body temperature as the necessary information to be provided to be high. On the other hand, when the body temperature is recorded randomly once a week, the generating function 201 sets the reliability of the body temperature as the necessary information to be provided to be low.

[0083] Also, for example, if the subject avatar is active within the partial metaverse PMV every day from 20:00 to 24:00 and there is little record of the subject avatar's activity after 24:00, the processing circuit 19, using the generation function 201, sets the reliability of the information to be provided corresponding to the behavioral records between 20:00 and 24:00 high, and sets the reliability of the information to be provided corresponding to the behavioral records during other time periods low.

[0084] The medical information generating device 1 according to the second application example of the embodiment described above acquires the history of the behavior of the subject's avatar in the partial virtual space as a part of the shortage-related information, and generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the information required to be provided is changed in accordance with the frequency and / or punctuality of the behavior in the behavior history. As a result, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the second application example, the reliability of the subject information and the reliability of the information required to be provided are set based on the punctuality, and the medical information provision data can be presented to the user in a display mode according to the reliability. Therefore, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the second application example, the user can easily grasp the reliability of the subject information and the reliability of the information required to be provided. Therefore, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the second application example, the efficiency of medical treatment for the subject can be improved. Other effects of the medical information generating device 1 according to the second application example of the embodiment are similar to those of the embodiment, and therefore will not be described.

[0085] (Third application example) This application example is to set the reliability of the selected deficiency-related information, etc., according to the response time of the subject to the selection of the deficiency-related information, etc. The processing circuitry 19 generates, by the generation function 201, medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the information to be provided is changed according to the response time of the subject to the selection of the deficiency-related information. The threshold value for the reliability set according to the response time is preset and stored in the memory 13.

[0086] The processing circuit 19 generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the information to be provided is changed according to the response time of the subject to the selection of the deficiency-related information by the generation function 201. Specifically, the processing circuit 19 acquires the response time from the server device 3 or the subject terminal device 7 by the first acquisition function 193 or the second acquisition function 199. The generation function 201 sets the reliability of the information to be provided regarding the selection by comparing the acquired response time with a threshold. For example, when the response time exceeds the threshold, the generation function 201 sets the reliability of the information to be provided regarding the selection to be low. Also, when the response time is equal to or less than the threshold, the generation function 201 sets the reliability of the information to be provided regarding the selection to be high.

[0087] For example, when there are options for the subject, for an answer result in which the time from the presentation of the option to the subject avatar to the answer is less than the threshold, the processing circuit 19 sets the reliability high as an answer result that the subject is confident in, by the generation function 201. On the other hand, for an answer result in which the time from the presentation of the option to the answer exceeds the threshold, the generation function 201 sets the reliability low, assuming that the subject is undecided.

[0088] The medical information generating device 1 according to the third application example of the embodiment described above generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the provision-required information is changed according to the subject's response time to the selection of the deficiency-related information. As a result, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the third application example, the reliability of the provision-required information to be selected is set based on the subject's response time, and the medical information provision data can be presented to the user in a display mode according to the reliability. Therefore, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the third application example, the user can easily grasp the reliability of the provision-required information. Therefore, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the third application example, the efficiency of medical treatment for the subject can be improved. Other effects of the medical information generating device 1 according to the third application example of the embodiment are similar to those of the embodiment, so the description will be omitted.

[0089] (Example 4) In this application example, when information uploaded to the server device 3 from a device attached to the subject and / or used by the subject is deficiency-related information on which the necessary information is based, the reliability (error, etc.) of the data collected by the device is used as the reliability of the necessary information. In this application example, the reliability (error, accuracy, etc.) of the device is attached as additional information to the data acquired by the device and uploaded to the server device 3.

[0090] When the shortage-related information is information collected by an equipment attached to the subject, such as heart rate, the processing circuit 19 acquires the shortage-related information and the reliability of the equipment attached to the shortage-related information from the partial metaverse PMV using the second acquisition function 199.

[0091] When the shortage-related information is data uploaded to the virtual space from a device attached to the subject, the processing circuit 19 generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the data in the device is applied to the information to be provided by the generation function 201. That is, the generation function 201 applies the reliability of the device to the reliability of the information to be provided to generate medical information provision data.

[0092] For example, when using information from a sensor worn by a subject outside the metaverse clinic, the variance value of the data obtained by the sensor may be used as the reliability value. In this case, the generation function 201 sets a high reliability for data with small variance (such as data variance) and sets a low reliability for data with large variance.

[0093] When the shortage-related information is data uploaded to a virtual space (metaverse) from a device attached to the subject, the medical information generating device 1 according to the fourth application example of the embodiment described above generates medical information provision data in a display mode in which the reliability of the data in the device is applied to the provision-required information. As a result, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the fourth application example, the reliability of the device can be used as the reliability of the provision-required information based on the data collected from the device. Therefore, according to the medical information generating device 1 according to the fourth application example, the user can easily grasp the reliability of the provision-required information, and the efficiency of medical treatment for the subject can be improved. Other effects of the medical information generating device 1 according to the fourth application example of the embodiment are similar to those of the embodiment, so that the description will be omitted.

[0094] When the technical idea of ​​the present embodiment is realized by a medical information generation method, the medical information generation method acquires subject information about the subject by having an avatar of the subject in a virtual space visit a virtual clinic in the virtual space, identifies missing information in medical information provision data about the subject based on the subject information, presents to the subject's avatar and the doctor's avatar at the visit whether or not to acquire missing-related information about the missing information from a partial virtual space of the virtual space excluding the virtual clinic, acquires missing-related information from the partial virtual space when the subject and the doctor agree to acquire the missing-related information, and generates medical information provision data about the provision of medical information based on the subject information and the missing-related information. The processing procedure and effects of the medical information generation method are similar to those of the embodiment, and therefore will not be described.

[0095] When the technical idea of ​​this embodiment is realized by a medical information generation program, the medical information generation program causes a computer to acquire subject information about the subject by having the subject's avatar in the virtual space visit a virtual clinic in the virtual space, identify missing information in medical information provision data about the subject based on the subject information, present to the subject's avatar and the doctor's avatar during the visit whether or not it is necessary to acquire missing-related information related to the missing information from a partial virtual space of the virtual space excluding the virtual clinic, acquire the missing-related information from the partial virtual space when the subject and the doctor agree to acquire the missing-related information, and generate medical information provision data related to the provision of medical information based on the subject information and the missing-related information.

[0096] For example, the medical care provision data generation process can be realized by installing a medical information generation program in a computer in the server device 3 or the user terminal device 5, and expanding the installed medical information generation program in the memory of the server device 3 or the user terminal device 5. In this case, the program that allows the computer to execute the method can also be stored in a storage medium such as a magnetic disk (hard disk, etc.), an optical disk (CD-ROM, DVD, etc.), or a semiconductor memory and distributed. The processing procedure and effects of the medical information generation program are the same as those in the embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.
