[0009] Embodiment 1 For example, at a hospital or other medical institution, blood samples, cancer tumor tissue, etc. are collected from a patient, and based on the samples, so-called personalized vaccines or personalized therapeutic drugs specialized for that patient are produced through multiple institutions, companies, etc. Then, the produced personalized vaccines or personalized therapeutic drugs are administered to that same patient at the medical institution.

[0010] Thus, in the process of personalized vaccines and personalized therapeutics, vaccines and therapeutics based on samples collected from a patient must be administered to the same patient.

[0011] In contrast, the information processing system according to this embodiment is a system that ensures that, for example, the process of personalized vaccines or personalized therapeutic drugs is being carried out correctly by directly linking the patient with the vaccine or therapeutic drug itself. Note that personalized vaccines include, for example, personalized cancer vaccines (PCVs) and CAR-T.

[0012] That is, the information processing system according to this embodiment more reliably verifies the identity of a patient through biometric authentication and electronic signatures when detecting a sample and administering a vaccine or therapeutic drug in the flow of personalized vaccines and personalized therapeutic drugs. This significantly reduces the risk of, for example, incorrect administration of a vaccine or therapeutic drug due to insufficient identity verification, or incorrect information on a label.

[0013] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic hardware configuration of an information processing system according to the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 1, the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment has the hardware configuration of a typical computer including a processor 11 such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an internal memory 12 such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a ROM (Read Only Memory), a storage device 13 such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive), an input / output I / F 14 for connecting peripheral devices such as a display, and a communication I / F 15 for communicating with devices outside the device.

[0014] Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic system configuration of an information processing system according to the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 2, the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment includes a terminal 2, a management device 3, and a biometric information database 4. Note that the terminal 2, the management device 3, and the biometric information database 4 may be connected to each other via, for example, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), Wifi (registered trademark), or the like.

[0015] Terminal 2 is a specific example of a biometric information acquisition means. Terminal 2 is configured as a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet, a PC (Personal Computer), or the like that can be operated by a user. Terminal 2 acquires biometric information of a patient. The biometric information is, for example, information about the patient's body, such as the face, iris, fingerprints, veins, voiceprint, palm print, and ears.

[0016] The terminal 2 acquires biological information of the patient based on, for example, an image of the patient captured by a camera, or a voice of the patient captured by a microphone, etc. The terminal 2 transmits the acquired biological information of the patient to the management device 3.

[0017] The management device 3 is a device that manages the entire system, and is configured as, for example, a server device. The terminal 2 and the management device 3 may be configured as an integrated device. Either the terminal 2 or the management device 3 may have a built-in biometric information database 4.

[0018] The management device 3 has an authentication processing unit 31 that performs patient authentication processing, a trace information generation unit 32 that generates trace information for tracking the patient's sample, and a verification processing unit 33 that performs signature information verification processing.

[0019] The authentication processing unit 31 is a specific example of an authentication processing means. The authentication processing unit 31 performs authentication processing of the patient based on the patient's biometric information transmitted from the terminal 2. The authentication processing unit 31 performs authentication processing of the patient, for example, by comparing the patient's biometric information transmitted from the terminal 2 with pre-registered biometric information.

[0020] The authentication processing unit 31 may perform authentication processing of a patient by combining multiple pieces of biometric information of the patient. For example, the authentication processing unit 31 may perform authentication processing of a patient based on information of the patient's face and fingerprint.

[0021] The authentication processing unit 31 stores the biometric information of the patient who has been successfully authenticated in the biometric information database 4 in association with the patient's identification information (ID information).

[0022] The biometric information database 4 is a specific example of a first storage means. The biometric information database 4 is configured by, for example, a storage device 13.

[0023] The trace information generation unit 32 is a specific example of a trace information generation means. The trace information generation unit 32 generates signature information (electronic signature) of the patient based on the patient's biometric information authenticated by the authentication processing unit 31. Furthermore, the trace information generation unit 32 generates signed trace information that includes the generated signature information.

[0024] The trace information may be, for example, a QR code (registered trademark), a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) link information, a barcode, or any other information displayed in a format that can be read by the reading device 21. The management device 3 may output the trace information with the signature as a label using a printer or the like.

[0025] The signature-attached tracing label can be attached to, for example, a vial or container that holds a vaccine or treatment created based on a patient's sample, allowing a direct link between the patient and the vaccine or treatment itself.

[0026] By using the information processing system 1 of this embodiment to verify this signed trace information before administering a vaccine or therapeutic drug to a patient, doctors, nurses, etc. can confirm that the vaccine or therapeutic drug was produced from the patient's sample.

[0027] If it is desired to trace the intermediate processes involved in the production of vaccines or therapeutic drugs from patient samples, signed tracing information may also be attached to the samples and intermediate products (including electronic files) produced from the samples.

[0028] The verification processing unit 33 is a specific example of a verification processing means. The verification processing unit 33 performs a verification process on the signature information of the signed trace information read by the reading device 21 of the terminal 2, based on the biological information of the patient authenticated by the authentication processing unit 31.

[0029] The reading device 21 is a specific example of a trace information acquisition means. The reading device 21 is configured as, for example, a barcode reader or a QR code reader. The reading device 21 is configured to be built into the terminal 2, but is not limited to this and may be configured as a separate device from the terminal 2.

[0030] Next, an information processing method according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flowchart of the information processing method according to the present disclosure.

[0031] First, before treatment begins, the terminal 2 acquires biometric information of the patient and transmits the acquired biometric information of the patient to the management device 3 (S11). The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 performs authentication processing on the biometric information of the patient. If the authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 associates the biometric information of the patient with the patient's identification information and stores the patient's biometric information in the biometric information database (biometric information DB) 4 (S12).

[0032] The management device 3 displays on the screen of the terminal 2, for example, as shown in Figure 4(a), an authentication success display indicating that authentication was successful, and a patient consent display (consent information) requesting the patient's consent regarding sample collection, etc. (S13).

[0033] When the patient performs a signing operation such as instructing "sign" on the screen of the terminal 2 (S14), the management device 3 requests the biometric information database 4 to transmit biometric information corresponding to the patient's identification information (S15). Note that the management device 3 may omit the process shown in requesting the patient's consent (S13).

[0034] In response to the request, the biometric information database 4 transmits the biometric information to the management device 3. The trace information generation unit 32 of the management device 3 generates signature information based on the biometric information (S16). Note that, as described above, when the authentication processing unit 31 performs patient authentication processing by combining multiple pieces of biometric information, it may generate signature information based on each piece of biometric information.

[0035] The management device 3 stores the signed consent information including the generated signature information in the biometric information database 4 (S17). This signed consent information can also be used later for audits and the like.

[0036] The consent information may include, for example, not only the individual's consent document, but also a timestamp, a document describing the vaccine generation process, vaccine identification information, etc. The management device 3 transmits a signature generation result indicating that the signature has been generated to the terminal 2 (S18).

[0037] The trace information generation unit 32 of the management device 3 generates signed trace information including the signature information and transmits the generated signed trace information to a printer (S19). The printer outputs the signed trace information as a label or the like. The label containing the signed trace information is attached to a vial or container of a vaccine or therapeutic drug.

[0038] Next, before administering the vaccine to the patient, the terminal 2 acquires the patient's biometric information and transmits the acquired biometric information to the management device 3. The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 performs authentication processing on the patient's biometric information (S20). If the authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 stores the patient's biometric information in the biometric information database 4 in association with the patient's identification information (S21).

[0039] The management device 3 requests the terminal 2 to display a verification request screen (S22). In response to the request, the terminal 2 displays a verification request screen, for example, a screen requesting signature verification, as shown in FIG. 4(b).

[0040] The patient performs an operation such as instructing "Perform signature verification" on the verification request screen of terminal 2. Reading device 21 of terminal 2 reads the signed tracing information attached to a vial of vaccine or therapeutic drug, and transmits the information to management device 3. Terminal 2 then requests management device 3 to verify the signed tracing information (S23).

[0041] In response to the request, the management device 3 requests biometric information corresponding to the patient's identification information from the biometric information database 4. In response to the request, the biometric information database 4 transmits the biometric information corresponding to the patient's identification information to the management device 3. The verification processing unit 33 of the management device 3 performs verification processing on the signature information of the signed trace information based on the transmitted biometric information (S24).

[0042] If the verification of the signature information is successful, the verification processing unit 33 of the management device 3 requests the terminal 2 to display a verification success display indicating that the signature verification was successful and a pre-administration consent display (consent information) requesting the patient's consent regarding the administration of the vaccine, for example, as shown in Fig. 4(c) (S25). In response to the request, the terminal 2 displays the verification success display and the pre-administration consent display.

[0043] When the patient performs a signing operation such as instructing "sign" on the screen of the terminal 2 (S26), the management device 3 requests the biometric information database 4 to transmit biometric information corresponding to the patient's identification information (S27). Note that the management device 3 may omit the process shown in requesting the patient's consent (S25).

[0044] In response to the request, the biometric information database 4 transmits the biometric information corresponding to the patient's identification information to the management device 3. The trace information generation unit 32 of the management device 3 generates signature information based on the biometric information (S28).

[0045] The management device 3 stores the signed consent information including the signature information in the biometric information database 4 (S29). The management device 3 transmits a signature generation result indicating that the signature has been generated to the terminal 2 (S30).

[0046] Embodiment 2 5 is a block diagram showing a schematic system configuration of an information processing system according to the present disclosure. In addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, the information processing system 20 according to this embodiment further includes a verification key database 5 and a key parameter database 6.

[0047] The verification key database 5 and the key parameter database 6 are specific examples of second storage means. The verification key database 5 and the key parameter database 6 are configured, for example, by a storage device.

[0048] It is also possible to combine any one of the biometric information database 4, the verification key database 5, and the key parameter database 6 into an integrated database. For example, the verification key database 5 and the key parameter database 6 may be integrated into an integrated database.

[0049] Furthermore, the management device 30 may be configured to include at least one of a biometric information database 4, a verification key database 5, and a key parameter database 6, and any combination of these components is conceivable.

[0050] The management device 30 according to this embodiment further includes a key information generation unit 34 in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment. The key information generation unit 34 is a specific example of a key information generation means. The key information generation unit 34 generates key parameter information for generating signature information of a patient and key verification information for verifying the signature information of the patient.

[0051] The key information generation unit 34 stores the generated key parameter information in the key parameter database 6 in association with the patient's identification information. In addition, the key information generation unit 34 stores the generated verification key information in the verification key database 5 in association with the patient's identification information.

[0052] The trace information generation unit 32 generates signature information based on the key parameter information and the biometric information. In this embodiment, the signature key is secretly shared among the key parameter information (shared key) and the biometric information to generate a signature. This increases the resistance to key leakage because a signature cannot be generated without the shared key and the biometric information.

[0053] The trace information generation unit 32 generates signed trace information including the generated signature information. The verification processing unit 33 performs verification processing on the signature information of the signed trace information based on key verification information corresponding to the patient identification information authenticated by the authentication processing unit 31.

[0054] Next, an information processing method according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a flowchart of the information processing method according to the present disclosure.

[0055] First, before treatment begins, the terminal 2 acquires the patient's biometric information and transmits the acquired biometric information to the management device 30 (S41). The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 30 performs authentication processing on the patient's biometric information. If the authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 30 associates the patient's biometric information with the patient's identification information and stores the patient's biometric information in the biometric information database (biometric information DB) 4 (S42).

[0056] The key information generation unit 34 of the management device 30 generates verification key information, associates the generated verification key information with the patient's identification information, and stores the information in the verification key database (verification key DB) 5 (S43). Furthermore, the key information generation unit 34 of the management device 3 generates key parameter information, associates the generated key parameter information with the patient's identification information, and stores the information in the key parameter database (key parameter DB) 6 (S44).

[0057] The management device 30 requests the terminal 2 to display an authentication success display indicating that the authentication has been successful and a patient consent display (consent information) requesting the patient's consent regarding sample collection, etc. (S45), for example, as shown in Fig. 4(a) . In response to the request, the terminal 2 displays the authentication success display and the patient consent display.

[0058] When the patient performs a signing operation such as instructing "sign" on the screen of the terminal 2 (S46), the management device 3 requests the key parameter database 6 to transmit key parameter information corresponding to the patient's identification information (S47). Note that the management device 3 may omit the process shown in requesting the patient's consent (S45).

[0059] In response to the request, the key parameter database 6 transmits the key parameter information to the management device 30 (S48). The trace information generation unit 32 of the management device 30 generates signature information based on the key parameter information and the biometric information corresponding to the patient's identification information.

[0060] The trace information generation unit 32 of the management device 30 stores the signed consent information including the signature information in the biometric information database 4 (S49). The management device 3 transmits a signature generation result indicating that the signature has been generated to the terminal 2 (S50).

[0061] The tracing information generation unit 32 of the management device 30 generates signed tracing information including the signature information and transmits the generated signed tracing information to a printer (S51). The printer outputs the signed tracing information as a label or the like. The label containing the signed tracing information is attached to a vial or container of a vaccine or therapeutic drug.

[0062] Next, before administering the vaccine to the patient, the terminal 2 acquires the patient's biological information and transmits the acquired biological information of the patient to the management device 30 (S52). The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 30 performs authentication processing on the patient's biological information.

[0063] If the authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 30 stores the patient's biometric information in the biometric information database 4 in association with the patient's identification information (S53).

[0064] The management device 30 requests the terminal 2 to display a verification request screen (S54). In response to the request, the terminal 2 displays a verification request screen, for example, as shown in FIG. 4(b), requesting signature verification.

[0065] The patient performs an operation such as instructing "Perform signature verification" on the verification request screen of terminal 2. Reading device 21 of terminal 2 reads the signature information of the trace information with the signature attached to the vaccine or therapeutic drug vial, and requests management device 30 to verify the signature information (S55).

[0066] In response to the request, the management device 30 requests the verification key information corresponding to the patient's identification information from the verification key database 5 (S56).

[0067] In response to the request, the verification key database 5 transmits the verification key information to the management device 30 (S57). The verification processing unit 33 of the management device 30 performs verification processing on the signature information of the signed trace information based on the verification key information.

[0068] If the signature information is successfully verified, the management device 30 requests the terminal 2 to display a verification success display indicating that the signature verification was successful and a pre-administration consent display (consent information) requesting the patient's consent regarding the administration of the vaccine, as shown in Fig. 4(c) for example (S58). In response to the request, the terminal 2 displays the verification success display and the pre-administration consent display.

[0069] When the patient performs a signing operation such as instructing "sign" on the screen of the terminal 2 (S59), the management device 30 requests the key parameter database 6 to transmit key parameter information corresponding to the patient's identification information (S60). Note that the management device 30 may omit the process shown in requesting the patient's consent (S58).

[0070] In response to the request, the key parameter database 6 transmits the key parameter information to the management device 30 (S61). The trace information generation unit 32 of the management device 30 generates signature information based on the key parameter information and the biometric information corresponding to the patient's identification information.

[0071] The management device 30 stores the signed consent information including the signature information in the biometric information database 4 (S62). The management device 30 transmits a signature generation result indicating that the signature has been generated to the terminal 2 (S63).

[0072] Embodiment 3 The information processing system 1 according to this embodiment has the same configuration as the information processing system 1 according to the above-mentioned embodiment 1. However, the trace information generation unit 32 according to the above-mentioned embodiment 1 generates signature information of the patient based on the biometric information of the patient authenticated by the authentication processing unit 31, and generates signed trace information including the signature information. On the other hand, the trace information generation unit 32 according to this embodiment differs from the above-mentioned embodiment in that it generates trace information of the patient including identification information of the patient authenticated based on the biometric information.

[0073] 7 is a flowchart of the information processing method according to the present disclosure. First, before the start of treatment, the terminal 2 acquires biological information of the patient and transmits the acquired biological information of the patient to the management device 3 (S71).

[0074] The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 performs authentication processing on the patient's biometric information. If the authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 associates the patient's biometric information with the patient's identification information and stores the patient's biometric information in the biometric information database 4 (S72).

[0075] The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 requests the terminal 2 to display, for example, an authentication success display indicating that the authentication has been successful (S73). In response to the request, the terminal 2 displays the authentication success display.

[0076] The tracing information generation unit 32 of the management device 3 generates tracing information including the patient's identification information and sends the generated tracing information to a printer (S74). The printer outputs the tracing information as a label or the like. The tracing information label is attached to a vial or container of the vaccine or therapeutic drug.

[0077] Next, before administering the vaccine to the patient, the terminal 2 acquires the patient's biometric information and transmits the acquired biometric information to the management device 3 (S75). The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 performs authentication processing on the patient's biometric information. If the authentication is successful, the authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 associates the patient's biometric information with the patient's identification information and stores the patient's biometric information in the biometric information database 4 (S76).

[0078] The authentication processing unit 31 of the management device 3 requests the terminal 2 to display, for example, an authentication success display indicating that the authentication has been successful (S77). In response to the request, the terminal 2 displays the authentication success display.

[0079] The reading device 21 of the terminal 2 reads the tracing information attached to the vial of the vaccine or medicine, and requests the management device 3 to verify the tracing information (S78).

[0080] The verification processing unit 33 of the management device 3 performs a verification process to verify whether the identification information of the trace information read by the reading device 21 of the terminal 2 matches the identification information corresponding to the patient's biometric information authenticated by the authentication processing unit 31 (S79).
