Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] In many cases, the results of blood tests etc. conducted at medical institutions etc. are either handed to the patient at the next visit or mailed to the patient's workplace etc. In such cases, the patient cannot receive the test results until the next visit or the time the results are mailed to the patient's workplace etc.

[0003] For this reason, a system has been developed that allows medical institutions and patients to share test results for blood and other items. In this system, test results are captured using a scanner or other device, and patient IDs are recognized from the captured test data using OCR processing, and are automatically reflected in the input field of the file list. This automatically links patient IDs to test results, reducing the manual input of patient IDs by medical staff.

[0004] However, the recognition rate of OCR is generally not 100%. Therefore, if an error occurs in OCR recognition, there is a risk of misidentifying a patient, such as sharing data of another patient. The following documents are techniques for checking whether there are any errors in OCR recognition. Patent Document 1 describes a method of performing character recognition on image data extracted from a character area of ​​a form, and superimposing the character data on image data obtained by reading the form.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 6-68299 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in conventional technology, various information is recognized as characters, and unnecessary information is also recognized as well as information that identifies the patient. Therefore, the patient ID may not be automatically reflected accurately in the input field of the file list. In addition, in conventional technology, the OCR recognized information is superimposed on the image data, so the original characters may be mistaken for other characters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] [Example of configuration of information processing system 1] First, the configuration of an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 shows an example of a schematic configuration of an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0014] The information processing system 1 is a system for providing test data D to an information terminal or the like of a patient via a network when a blood test or the like is performed on the patient in a medical facility such as a hospital. In this embodiment, a case where a blood test is performed will be described, but other types of tests may also be used.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 1, the information processing system 1 includes an information terminal 10, a server 20, and an external information terminal 30. The information terminal 10, the server 20, and the external information terminal 30 are communicatively connected via a network N. Examples of the network N include a LAN, a WAN, the Internet, and a telephone network. The communication method of the network N may be wired communication or wireless communication. LAN is an abbreviation for Local Area Network. WAN is an abbreviation for Wide Area Network. The information terminal 10 is an example of a first information processing device, and the server 20 is an example of a second information processing device.

[0016] The information terminal 10 is a computer installed in a medical facility, and includes, for example, a personal computer, a tablet, etc. The information terminal 10 acquires test data D indicating the results of a blood test of a patient read by a scanner or the like, and transmits (uploads) the acquired test data D to the server 20. The information terminal 10 receives character data D1 and image data D2 of a patient ID acquired from the test data D by processing on the server 20 side. The information terminal 10 displays the character data D1 and image data D2 of the patient ID acquired by the reception side by side on the screen of a display unit 13 described later. This allows a medical staff member of a medical institution in a medical facility to check whether the character data D1 of the patient ID automatically recognized from the test data D matches the patient ID written in the actual test data D. In the following, a medical staff member of a medical institution may simply be called a user. The patient ID is an example of patient identification information, and may also be called a chart number.

[0017] The server 20 acquires information related to the patient ID by performing a predetermined process on the test data D transmitted from the information terminal 10. Specifically, the server 20 acquires character data D1 of the patient ID by OCR-recognizing the patient ID from the character string in the patient ID item of the test data D. The patient ID item is an example of a patient identification item. OCR is an optical character recognition process and is an abbreviation of Optical character recognition. The server 20 acquires image data D2 of the patient ID by extracting an area of ​​the patient ID item of the test data D as an image. The server 20 transmits the acquired character data D1 and image data D2 to the information terminal 10.

[0018] The external information terminal 30 is a terminal owned by the patient, and includes, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, a personal computer, etc. The external information terminal 30 acquires shared information indicating that the test data D indicating the results of the test taken by the patient has become shared from the server 20 or the information terminal 10 of the medical facility. The external information terminal 30 accesses the server 20, etc. based on the acquired shared information, and displays the test data D on the screen of the display unit. This allows the patient to check the test data D indicating the results of the blood test on the external information terminal 30 owned by the patient, without having to visit the medical institution where the test was taken. In addition, the patient can receive the test data D indicating the results of the test taken by the patient at an early stage.

[0019] [Example of configuration of information terminal 10] Next, a detailed configuration of the information terminal 10 according to the present embodiment will be described below. Fig. 2 shows an example of a block diagram of the information terminal 10 according to the present embodiment.

[0020] The information terminal 10 includes a control unit 11, an operation unit 12, a display unit 13, a storage unit 14, and a communication unit 15. The control unit 11, the operation unit 12, the display unit 13, the storage unit 14, and the communication unit 15 are connected to each other via wiring such as a bus 16.

[0021] The control unit 11 includes, for example, a processor such as a CPU that performs calculations and control, and a memory. CPU is an abbreviation for Central Processing Unit. The control unit 11 performs processing such as checking whether there is any erroneous recognition of character data D1 of a patient ID automatically recognized from test data D, by executing a program stored in a memory such as a RAM, the storage unit 14, etc. The control unit 11 may include electronic circuits such as ASIC and FPGA. ASIC is an abbreviation for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. FPGA is an abbreviation for Field Programmable Gate Array.

[0022] In this embodiment, the control unit 11 functions as an output unit (output step) or the like. The processor of the control unit 11 executes a program stored in the storage unit 14 or the like to realize the functions of the output unit or the like. The output unit controls the display unit 13 to display the character data D1 and image data D2 transmitted from the server 20 on the screen of the display unit 13. In this embodiment, the output unit displays the character data D1 and image data D2 side by side on a confirmation screen 130A for confirming whether the character data D1 indicating the patient ID obtained from the test data D by OCR processing has been erroneously recognized.

[0023] The operation unit 12 includes, for example, a mouse, a keyboard, a switch, a button, and the like. The operation unit 12 may be, for example, a touch panel integrally combined with a display, or an interface that accepts voice input. The operation unit 12 accepts instructions corresponding to various input operations from a user, converts the accepted instructions into operation signals, and outputs the operation signals to the control unit 11. Specifically, the operation unit 12 accepts an operation to transmit the test data D to the server 20, an operation to make the test data D shared with the patient, and the like. When the character data D1 displayed on the confirmation screen 130A is erroneously recognized, the operation unit 12 accepts correction of the character data D1. In this case, the operation unit 12 also functions as an input unit.

[0024] The display unit 13 is, for example, a display such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. EL is an abbreviation for Electro Luminescence. The display unit 13 displays the test data D captured by a scanner or the like, a GUI for receiving various input operations from the user, and the like. GUI is an abbreviation for Graphical User Interface. Specifically, the display unit 13 displays the captured test data D, a file list of the captured test result data, a confirmation screen 130A for confirming the patient ID of the test data D, and the like.

[0025] The storage unit 14 includes any storage module, such as, for example, an HDD, an SSD, a ROM, and a RAM. HDD is an abbreviation for Hard Disk Drive. SSD is an abbreviation for Solid State Drive. ROM is an abbreviation for Read Only Memory. For example, system programs, application programs, and various data are stored in the storage unit 14. Specifically, the storage unit 14 stores a program 14a for executing a process of checking whether there is any misrecognition in the character data D1 of the patient ID automatically recognized from the examination data D.

[0026] The communication unit 15 includes, for example, a communication module including a NIC, a receiver, and a transmitter. NIC is an abbreviation for Network Interface Card. The communication unit 15 communicates various information and data with the server 20 and the external information terminal 30 via the network N.

[0027] [Server 20 configuration example] Next, a detailed configuration of the server 20 according to the present embodiment will be described below. Fig. 3 shows an example of a block diagram of the server 20 according to the present embodiment.

[0028] The server 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 24, and a communication unit 25. The control unit 21, the storage unit 24, and the communication unit 25 are connected to each other via wiring such as a bus 26. Note that the configuration of the server 20 is not limited to the configuration in Fig. 3, and an operation unit and a display unit may be provided similarly to the information terminal 10.

[0029] The control unit 21 includes, for example, a processor such as a CPU that performs calculations and control, a memory, etc. The control unit 21 executes, for example, a program stored in a memory such as a RAM, the storage unit 24, etc., thereby implementing a process of confirming a patient ID that is automatically recognized from the test data D, etc. The control unit 21 may include an electronic circuit such as an ASIC or an FPGA.

[0030] In this embodiment, the control unit 21 functions as a first acquisition unit (first acquisition step), a second acquisition unit (second acquisition step), a notification unit, etc. The processor of the control unit 21 executes a program stored in the storage unit 24, etc., thereby realizing the functions of the first acquisition unit, the second acquisition unit, the notification unit, etc. The first acquisition unit acquires character data D1 indicating the patient ID by recognizing characters in a patient ID item (patient identification item) from the test data D indicating the test results of the patient. The second acquisition unit acquires image data D2 indicating the patient ID by extracting an area of ​​the patient ID item from the test data D. The notification unit transmits shared information for the patient to access the test data D to the external information terminal 30 when the patient ID indicated by the character data D1 matches the patient ID indicated by the image data D2.

[0031] The storage unit 24 includes any storage module, such as, for example, an HDD, an SSD, a ROM, and a RAM. For example, a system program, an application program, various data, etc. are stored in the storage unit 24. Specifically, the storage unit 24 stores a program 24a that executes a process of automatically recognizing a patient ID from the test data D, a process of extracting an area including the patient ID from the test data D, etc.

[0032] The communication unit 25 includes, for example, a communication module including a NIC, a receiver, and a transmitter, etc. The communication unit 25 communicates various information and data between the information terminal 10 of the medical institution and the external information terminal 30 owned by the patient, etc., via the network N.

[0033] [Example of operation of information processing system 1] Next, a flow of sharing processing of the test data D in the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment will be described. Fig. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment. Fig. 5 shows an example of the configuration of a confirmation screen 130A for confirming whether or not the character data D1 of the patient ID obtained by the OCR processing matches the image data D2 obtained by the extraction processing.

[0034] First, the configuration of the confirmation screen 130A displayed on the display unit 13 of the information terminal 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, a file list section 131 is provided on the left side of the confirmation screen 130A. The file list section 131 displays a list of files for which the patient ID is to be OCR-processed from the test data D. The file list section 131 is composed of a file name item and an upload date and time item. For example, as an example of a file of the imported test data D, the file name "Test Results 01" is displayed, and the upload date and time to the server 20 "December 22, 2020 16:25" is displayed. An import button 134 is provided below the file list section 131. The import button 134 is a button for importing the test data D from a specified folder and transmitting the imported test data D to the server 20.

[0035] A test data display section 132 is provided in the center of the confirmation screen 130A. Test data display section 132 displays test data D indicating the results of a blood test of a patient read by scanning or the like. The file format of the test data D shown in Fig. 5 is, for example, PDF, but other file formats may also be used. For example, other file formats such as GIF, JPEG, BPM, etc. may also be adopted.

[0036] A comparison unit 133 is provided on the right side of the confirmation screen 130A. The comparison unit 133 is a display area for comparing the character data D1 of the patient ID obtained by the OCR process with the image data D2 of the patient ID obtained by the extraction process in the test data D. In this embodiment, the comparison unit 133 displays the image data D2 and the character data D1 side by side. That is, the image data D2 and the character data D1 are displayed in a vertical line adjacent to the test data D in the center of the confirmation screen 130A. Below the comparison unit 133, patient information 137 of the patient is displayed. In the present information processing system 1, the patient ID and the patient information 137 including the name, date of birth, and gender are registered in advance in correspondence with each other. When the character data D1 of the patient ID extracted by the OCR process matches the patient ID registered in the information processing system 1, the terminal device 10 displays the patient information 137 on the confirmation screen 130A. The patient information 137 is used, for example, as reference information when confirming whether the patient is correct in the case of sharing the test results. Below the patient information 137, a cancel button 135 and a share button 136 are displayed. The cancel button 135 is a button for canceling the automatic recognition process of the patient ID. The share button 136 is a button for registering and managing the character data D1 obtained by the OCR process as a patient ID by linking it to the imported test data D. In addition, the share button 136 is a button for notifying the patient that the imported test data D is now accessible (shared state).

[0037] Next, an information processing method using the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 4, the control unit 11 of the information terminal 10 acquires a file of test data D indicating the test results of a patient (step S1). Specifically, the user reads a paper on which the results of a blood test are printed using a scanner or the like. This generates a file of the test data D indicating the results of the blood test, and the generated file is automatically saved in a specified folder, for example.

[0038] The communication unit 25 transmits the acquired file of the test data D to the server 20 via the network N under the control of the control unit 11 (step S2). Specifically, when the user presses the import button 134 on the confirmation screen 130A, the control unit 11 opens the folder and displays it superimposed on the confirmation screen 130A. When the user selects a specific file in the folder, the control unit 11 displays the file name and upload date and time of the selected file in the file list unit 131, and also displays the test data D in the test data display unit 132. The control unit 11 also transmits the file of the selected test data D to the server 20 via the network N.

[0039] The communication unit 25 of the server 20 receives the file of the test data D transmitted from the information terminal 10. The control unit 21 stores the file of the test data D obtained by the reception in the storage unit 24 (step S3).

[0040] The control unit 21 of the server 20 acquires coordinates indicating the position of the patient ID item in the test data D (step S4). For example, a business entity that provides the information processing system 1 may acquire the coordinates of the patient ID item by acquiring in advance position information of the patient ID item in the test data D from a user of a medical facility. Alternatively, the user may directly set the position information of the patient ID item in the test data D.

[0041] The control unit 21 performs OCR processing on the characters written in the patient ID field of the test data D based on the acquired coordinate information, and acquires character data D1 of the patient ID (step S5). For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the patient ID written in the patient ID field is a character string of "11552", the control unit 21 acquires the character data of "11552" as the patient ID. Note that, although the patient ID is displayed using numbers in this embodiment, the patient ID may be configured using Roman letters, symbols, and letters. The patient ID may also be configured using a combination of numbers, Roman letters, symbols, and letters.

[0042] The control unit 21 extracts an area including a patient ID item based on the acquired coordinate information, and acquires image data D2 of the patient ID (step S6). For example, as shown in Fig. 5, if the patient ID is a character string "11552", the control unit 21 acquires an area including "11552" as image data D2. Note that the order of steps S5 and S6 may be reversed, or steps S5 and S6 may be executed in parallel.

[0043] The communication unit 25 transmits the acquired character data D1 and image data D2 to the information terminal 10 via the network N under the control of the control unit 21 (step S7).

[0044] The communication unit 15 of the information terminal 10 receives the character data D1 and image data D2 transmitted from the server 20. The control unit 11 displays the received character data D1 and image data D2 at different positions on the screen of the display unit 13 (step S8). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 11 displays the image data D2 and the character data D1 side by side in an enlarged manner in the comparison unit 133 of the confirmation screen 130A. In this way, according to this embodiment, the character data D1 of the patient ID obtained by the OCR process of the patient ID item and the image data D2 of the patient ID obtained by the extraction process of the area of ​​the patient ID item can be displayed together in one place. This allows the user to easily and efficiently check whether the character data D1 obtained by the OCR process has been recognized erroneously.

[0045] The user visually checks the comparison section 133 of the confirmation screen 130A to confirm whether the character data D1 and the image data D2 match. If the character data D1 and the image data D2 match, the user presses the share button 136. When the user presses the share button 136, the control unit 11 acquires a share instruction corresponding to the press (step S9). Specifically, when acquiring the share instruction, the control unit 11 superimposes a dialog for, for example, asking the patient whether to allow sharing of the examination data D on the confirmation screen 130A. When the user presses the share button in the dialog, the control unit 11 transmits the share information corresponding to the press of the share button to the server 20 via the network N (step S10).

[0046] The communication unit 25 of the server 20 receives the shared information transmitted from the information terminal 10. The control unit 21 of the server 20 acquires the contact information of the patient corresponding to the patient ID included in the shared information based on the received shared information (step S11). For example, the patient may register his / her contact information using a web form or the like after the examination. The registered contact information may be managed in the server 20 or the like in association with the patient information 137 such as the patient ID and name. The contact information may be, for example, an SNS such as LINE or a short mail service, an email address, or the like. The shared information may be directly transmitted from the information terminal 10 of the medical institution to the external information terminal 30 of the patient.

[0047] The communication unit 25 of the server 20 transmits the shared information to the patient's external information terminal 30 based on the acquired contact information (step S12).

[0048] When the external information terminal 30 acquires the shared information from the server 20, it displays information for enabling access to the test data D indicating the results of the blood test on the screen of the display unit. For example, the external information terminal 30 may display a button, a URL, or the like for accessing the test data D stored in the server 20 on the screen of the display unit. When the external information terminal 30 receives an access request in response to the patient's operation of a button or the like, it transmits the received access request to the server 20 (step S13). The access request includes patient identification information, for example, a name for identifying the patient, a patient ID, and the like.

[0049] When the server 20 receives the access request from the external information terminal 30, the server 20 outputs the test data D to the external information terminal 30 via the network N (step S14).

[0050] The external information terminal 30 receives the test data D transmitted from the server 20 and displays the received test data D on the screen of the display unit (step S15). For example, the test data D may be displayed on a browser installed in the external information terminal 30. The test data D may also be saved in the external information terminal 30 by downloading it from the server 20.

[0051] According to this embodiment, character data D1 of the patient ID obtained by OCR processing and image data D2 of the patient ID obtained by extraction processing are displayed together in one place in the comparison section 133 of the confirmation screen 130A. In addition, output control is performed so that the character data D1 is not superimposed on the examination data D in the examination data display section 132. This allows the user to accurately and efficiently compare whether the character data D1 matches the image data D2. As a result, the user can easily check whether there are any recognition errors in the character data D1 obtained by OCR processing.

[0052] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the patient ID can be automatically recognized from the test data D captured by a scanner or the like, simply by pressing the capture button 134. This simplifies the patient ID registration process compared to when a user at a medical institution directly inputs the patient ID and registers it in a list.

[0053] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, only the patient ID is OCR processed from the test data D, and unnecessary information is not obtained. Therefore, since only the character data D1 of the patient ID and the image data D2 can be compared, it can be accurately determined whether the character data D1 has been misrecognized. Furthermore, the patient can obtain his / her own test data D from the server 20 on the network N without visiting the medical institution where the medical examination was performed. This improves convenience for the patient. Furthermore, since the patient can obtain the test data D via the network N, the patient can know the results of blood tests, etc., at an earlier timing than before.

[0054] <Modification> Next, a modified example of the confirmation screen 130A shown in Fig. 5 will be described. In the modified example, differences from the above embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the common points with the above embodiment will be omitted. In addition, in the description of the modified example, the parts common to the above embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.

[0055] FIG. 6 shows an example of a confirmation screen 130B displayed on the display unit 13 of the information terminal 10 of a medical institution according to a modified example. On the confirmation screen 130B, the image data D2 is not displayed above the character data D1, but is displayed superimposed on the test data D displayed in the test data display section 132 in the center of the screen. Specifically, a separate window that is a balloon section that pops up from a position near the patient ID item of the test data D may be provided, and the image data D2 may be enlarged and displayed within the balloon section. This allows the user to intuitively understand that the character string written in the patient ID item, one of the multiple items of the test data D, is being enlarged and displayed. In addition, since the image data D2 is displayed in a separate window such as a balloon section, it does not overlap with the characters of the test data D underneath.

[0056] On confirmation screen 130B, character data D1 is displayed in comparison section 133 on the right side of the screen, similarly to confirmation screen 130A. Thus, in this modified example, on confirmation screen 130B, image data D2 is displayed superimposed on examination data D in examination data display section 132, and character data D1 is displayed in comparison section 133. That is, character data D1 and image data D2 are displayed at different positions on confirmation screen 130B.

[0057] According to this modification, image data D2 is displayed in test data display section 132 of confirmation screen 130B, and character data D1 is displayed in comparison section 133, so that it is possible to efficiently compare whether character data D1 matches image data D2. As a result, it is possible to easily and quickly check whether there is any misrecognition in character data D1 obtained by OCR processing. Furthermore, according to this modification, the image data D2 is displayed superimposed on a position adjacent to the patient ID item of the examination data D, so that it can be intuitively understood that the image data D2 is an enlarged display of the patient ID item of the examination data D. Furthermore, the image data D2 is displayed in a separate window such as a balloon, so that it is possible to prevent the image data D2 from overlapping with characters or the like of the examination data D. This allows the characters of the image data D2 to be understood without misrecognition.

[0058] Although the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to such examples. In addition, various modifications and improvements will naturally belong to the technical scope of the present disclosure within the scope of the technical ideas described in the claims by those skilled in the art.

[0059] For example, the above-mentioned confirmation screens 130A and 130B have a layout that displays the file list section 131, the test data display section 132, and the comparison section 133, but the layout is not limited to this. For example, the confirmation screens 130A and 130B may have a layout in which the file list section 131 on the left side of the screen is not displayed, and only the test data display section 132 and the comparison section 133 are displayed. The confirmation screen 130A may have a layout in which only the comparison section 133 is displayed.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the OCR process for acquiring character data D1 and the extraction process for acquiring image data D2 are executed on the server 20 side, but these processes may be executed on the information terminal 10 of the medical institution. In this case, the control unit 11 of the information terminal 10 executes the program 14a to realize the OCR process for acquiring character data D1 and the extraction process for acquiring image data D2.
