[0021] The download unit 52 downloads the terminal program based on the read address information (step S52).

[0022] The installation unit 53 installs the downloaded terminal program (step S53).

[0023] (Configuration example of information processing device 100) The information processing device 100 includes a start time acquisition unit 110 and a creation unit 120, as shown in FIG.

[0024] The start time acquisition unit 110 acquires the management start time when management regarding the administration of emergency contraception begins. The management start time includes the time when the emergency contraception was taken or the time when the subject had sexual intercourse.

[0025] The creation unit 120 creates a support schedule for supporting the taking of emergency contraception based on the management start time.

[0026] The information processing device 100 executes information processing such as that shown in FIG.

[0027] The start time acquisition unit 110 acquires the management start time when management regarding the administration of emergency contraception starts (step S110). The management start time includes the time when the emergency contraception was taken or the time when the subject had sexual intercourse.

[0028] The creation unit 120 creates a support schedule for supporting the taking of emergency contraception based on the management start time (step S120).

[0029] (Detailed example) (About the information processing system SYS1) The information processing system SYS1 is a system for supporting the management of emergency contraceptive use by subjects.

[0030] The subject is a person who takes emergency contraception. The subject may be, for example, a person who is about to take emergency contraception, or a person who has taken emergency contraception.

[0031] Emergency contraception is usually provided to subjects based on a prescription. However, recently, there has been discussion about changing the system so that emergency contraception can be taken without a prescription. The support for taking emergency contraception according to the present disclosure covers both the use of emergency contraception provided as a prescription drug and the use of emergency contraception provided without a prescription. In other words, emergency contraception may be provided to subjects based on a prescription, or may be provided to subjects at a store such as a pharmacy or drug store without a prescription.

[0032] The information processing system SYS1 includes a server device 30, a terminal device 50a used by a subject, and an information processing device 100, as shown in detail in FIG.

[0033] The terminal device 50a, the server device 30, and the information processing device 100 are connected to each other via a communication network NT, and transmit and receive information to and from each other via the communication network NT. The communication network NT may include one or more of the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), etc., and may be configured as a wired or wireless network or a combination thereof.

[0034] The number of terminal devices 50a included in the information processing system SYS1 is not limited to one, and may be multiple. When the information processing system SYS1 includes multiple terminal devices 50a, the multiple terminal devices 50a may include a terminal device 50a used by each of multiple subjects, or may include multiple terminal devices 50a used by one subject.

[0035] (Regarding the server device 30) The server device 30 is a device that stores a terminal program TP in advance. For example, in response to a request from the terminal device 50a, the server device 30 transmits the terminal program TP related to the request to the terminal device 50a.

[0036] (Regarding terminal device 50a) The terminal device 50a is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, etc. used by the subject. The terminal device 50a includes, for example, the reading unit 51, the downloading unit 52, and the installing unit 53, as described above (see, for example, FIG. 2).

[0037] (Regarding the reading unit 51) The reading unit 51 reads address information. The address information is information for downloading the terminal program TP. The terminal program TP is a program for supporting management of emergency contraceptive use, and is installed in the terminal device 50a. The address information includes, for example, an address indicating the location of the server device 30 that stores the terminal program TP. The address is, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), but is not limited to this.

[0038] For example, the reading unit 51 may include a camera. In this case, for example, the reading unit 51 may use the camera to read the address information from a code containing the address information. The code may be, for example, a two-dimensional code, a one-dimensional code, or the like. The code may be, for example, printed on a medium such as paper, film, or sheet, or may be displayed on a display or the like. Examples of media on which the code is printed include, but are not limited to, the packaging, instructions, information sheets, pamphlets, and leaflets of emergency contraception. Examples of displays on which the code is displayed include, but are not limited to, displays installed in hospitals, pharmacies, and drug stores.

[0039] Furthermore, for example, the reading unit 51 may include a reader that reads information stored in an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag. In this case, for example, the reading unit 51 may use the reader to read address information from an RFID tag that stores the address information. The medium that holds the RFID tag is, for example, but is not limited to, the package, instruction manual, information sheet, pamphlet, or leaflet of the emergency contraceptive pill.

[0040] The method for providing address information is not limited to the above example.

[0041] (About download section 52) For example, when the download unit 52 acquires the address information read by the reading unit 51, the download unit 52 accesses the server device 30 corresponding to the address included in the address information via the communication network NT. For example, the download unit 52 transmits a request to download the terminal program TP to the server device 30, and downloads the program stored in the server device 30.

[0042] Here, if the server device 30 stores various programs in addition to the terminal program TP, the address information may further include program identification information for identifying the terminal program TP.

[0043] (About installation part 53) For example, the installation unit 53 installs the terminal program TP downloaded by the download unit 52 into the terminal device 50a. After the download unit 52 downloads the terminal program TP, the installation unit 53 may install the terminal program TP in response to an instruction from the target user.

[0044] The reading unit 51, download unit 52, and installation unit 53 may be functions provided by a predetermined program such as an OS (Operating System) on which the terminal device 50a operates. By installing the terminal program TP in the terminal device 50a, the terminal device 50a cooperates with the information processing device 100 using the functions provided by the terminal program TP. This allows the subject to receive support regarding taking emergency contraception.

[0045] The functions provided by the terminal program TP include, for example, a function to provide a user interface for the subject to input predetermined information, a function to communicate with the information processing device 100, a function to store part or all of the information input by the subject in the terminal device 50a, etc. The functions provided by the terminal program TP are not limited to these, but examples will be described later.

[0046] The method for installing the terminal program TP into the terminal device 50a is not limited to the above example. For example, the downloading unit 52 may obtain the address of the server device 30, and the method is not limited to obtaining the address from the reading unit 51. For example, the downloading unit 52 may obtain the address of the server device 30 by the target user inputting the address into the terminal device 50a, or may obtain the address of the server device 30 from link information on a website, etc.

[0047] Furthermore, for example, before downloading or installing the terminal program TP to the terminal device 50a, processing may be performed to confirm with the subject that the subject agrees to the handling of personal information, understands the purpose of the terminal program TP, and the like.

[0048] Furthermore, for example, the functions provided to or processes executed by the terminal device 50a by installing the terminal program TP may be realized through the functions of a browser installed on the terminal device 50a. For example, even if the terminal program TP is not installed on the terminal device 50a, the functions provided to or processes executed by the information processing device 100 may be configured to be available by the target person logging in to a dedicated website accessed from the terminal device 50a via a communication line such as the Internet.

[0049] (Regarding information processing device 100) The information processing device 100 is a device for supporting a subject in managing the administration of emergency contraception. As described above, the information processing device 100 includes, for example, the start time acquisition unit 110 and the creation unit 120 (see, for example, FIG. 4).

[0050] (Regarding the start time acquisition unit 110) The start time acquisition unit 110 acquires the management start time based on, for example, an input to the terminal device 50a in which the terminal program TP is installed. The management start time is information indicating the time to start management regarding the administration of emergency contraception, and includes the time of administration or the time of sexual intercourse.

[0051] The time of administration is the time when emergency contraception was taken.

[0052] The time of sexual intercourse is the time when the subject had sexual intercourse. This sexual intercourse may be, for example, sexual intercourse that causes concern about pregnancy and that triggers the subject to take emergency contraception. This sexual intercourse will hereinafter be referred to as "the sexual intercourse in question." Note that sexual intercourse includes not only sexual intercourse with the subject's consent, but also sexual intercourse without the subject's consent.

[0053] Here, the time is typically a date and time expressed, for example, by year, month, day, and time, and the same applies hereinafter. However, the method of expressing the time is not limited to this. For example, the time may be expressed by the time elapsed from a predetermined time, or may be expressed by a time having a predetermined time interval, such as in 10-minute increments (e.g., 11:00 to 11:10). For example, the time may be expressed in a way that the subject selects from multiple ways of expressing the time, such as the date and time, elapsed time, etc.

[0054] Emergency contraception generally specifies the time when emergency contraception should be taken. For example, the time when emergency contraception should be taken is within a specified period of time (e.g., 72 hours, 120 hours, etc.) from the time of sexual intercourse. The time when emergency contraception should be taken is often determined based on the possibility of obtaining its effectiveness, taking into account the results of clinical trials, etc. Therefore, in order to increase the possibility of obtaining the effectiveness of emergency contraception, it is desirable to start management around the time of sexual intercourse and manage the time of taking the emergency contraception as well.

[0055] On the other hand, the subject may receive support for managing the administration of emergency contraception using the information processing system SYS1, for example, after taking the emergency contraception or from the time of taking the emergency contraception at a hospital, store, etc. In such cases, the start time of management may be the time of taking the emergency contraception.

[0056] Whether to use the time of sexual intercourse or the time of taking the medicine as the start time of management is not limited to the above example, and may be determined according to, for example, a predetermined standard. Furthermore, the start time of management is not limited to the time of sexual intercourse or the time of taking the medicine, and may be determined according to a predetermined standard.

[0057] (Regarding the creation unit 120) The creation unit 120 creates a support schedule based on the management start time. The support schedule is a schedule for supporting the taking of emergency contraception. The assistance schedule is, for example, information that associates a time (timing) with a processing content, and indicates that when the time arrives, the processing associated with the time will be executed.

[0058] The support schedule may include, for example, at least one of the following schedules: (1) timing for confirming medication intake, (2) timing for initial confirmation, (3) timing for periodic confirmation, and (4) timing for confirming effectiveness.

[0059] (1) The timing for confirming administration is, for example, the timing corresponding to the time when emergency contraception should be taken. (2) The timing for initial confirmation is, for example, the timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the time of administration. (3) The timing for periodic confirmation is, for example, the timing that occurs at a predetermined confirmation period. (4) The timing for confirming effectiveness is, for example, the timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined effect confirmation period has elapsed since the time of administration.

[0060] An example of the process contents included in the assistance schedule is the sending of a predetermined message at each timing. In this way, predetermined processes such as sending a message can be performed based on the assistance schedule. A detailed example of the assistance schedule will be described later.

[0061] The above (1) to (4) are examples of timings included in the support schedule, and the support schedule may include schedules for timings other than the above (1) to (4). That is, the support schedule may include at least one of the above (1) to (4) and schedules related to other timings.

[0062] (Example of physical configuration of information processing device 100) The information processing device 100 may be, for example, a computer. Physically, the information processing device 100 includes a bus 1010, a processor 1020, a memory 1030, a storage device 1040, a network interface 1050, an input interface 1060, and an output interface 1070, as shown in FIG.

[0063] The bus 1010 is a data transmission path for transmitting and receiving data among the processor 1020, memory 1030, storage device 1040, network interface 1050, input interface 1060, and output interface 1070. However, the method of connecting the processor 1020 and the like to each other is not limited to bus connection.

[0064] The processor 1020 is implemented by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or the like.

[0065] The memory 1030 is a main storage device realized by a RAM (Random Access Memory) or the like.

[0066] The storage device 1040 is an auxiliary storage device realized by a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a memory card, a read only memory (ROM), or the like. The storage device 1040 stores program modules for realizing the functions of the information processing device 100. The processor 1020 loads each of these program modules into the memory 1030 and executes them, thereby realizing the function corresponding to the program module. The present invention may be realized as such a program.

[0067] The network interface 1050 is an interface for connecting the information processing device 100 to the communication network NT.

[0068] The input interface 1060 is an interface for the user to input information, and is composed of, for example, a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like.

[0069] The output interface 1070 is an interface for presenting information to the user, and is configured, for example, by a liquid crystal panel, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) panel, or the like.

[0070] Each of the server device 30 and the terminal device 50a may be physically configured in the same manner as, for example, the information processing device 100. The terminal device 50a may further include, for example, a camera, a reader, etc. to implement the reading unit 51.

[0071] The information processing device 100 may be physically composed of multiple devices (for example, information processing devices such as computers). The information processing device 100 may also have some or all of the functions of other devices constituting the information processing system SYS1, such as the server device 30. The terminal device 50a may also have some or all of the functions of the information processing device 100. In other words, the terminal device 50a may function as an information processing device or as a part of an information processing device.

[0072] (Actions and Effects) As described above, according to this embodiment, the information processing device 100 includes, for example, the start time acquisition unit 110 and the creation unit 120, as described above. The start time acquisition unit 110 acquires a management start time for starting management of the administration of emergency contraception. The management start time includes the time when the emergency contraception was taken or the time when the subject had sexual intercourse. The creation unit 120 creates a support schedule for supporting the administration of emergency contraception based on the management start time.

[0073] This allows predetermined processing to be performed based on the support schedule, thereby making it possible to support management of emergency contraceptive use.

[0074] According to this embodiment, the information processing system SYS1 includes a terminal device 50a used by a subject who is to take emergency contraception, and an information processing device 100.

[0075] This allows the subject to receive support for managing the administration of emergency contraceptives using terminal device 50a. Therefore, it becomes possible to easily receive support for managing the administration of emergency contraceptives.

[0076] According to this embodiment, the terminal device 50 a includes a reading unit 51 , a download unit 52 , and an installation unit 53 .

[0077] A reading unit 51 reads address information for downloading a terminal program TP for supporting management of emergency contraceptive use. A downloading unit 52 downloads the terminal program TP based on the read address information. An installing unit 53 installs the downloaded terminal program TP.

[0078] This eliminates the need for the subject to input address information in order to install the terminal program TP, making it easier to support the management of emergency contraception use.

[0079] [Embodiment 2] In this embodiment, a more detailed example of an information processing system will be described. Note that, in this embodiment, for simplicity of explanation, explanations that overlap with other embodiments will be omitted as appropriate.

[0080] (Configuration example of information processing system SYS2) The information processing system SYS2 includes the above-mentioned server device 30, a terminal device 50b, and an information processing device 200, as shown in FIG.

[0081] The terminal device 50b is a device used by the subject, similar to the terminal device 50a, and has the terminal program TP installed therein.

[0082] (Configuration example of terminal device 50b) 9, the terminal device 50b includes the above-mentioned reading unit 51, download unit 52, and installation unit 53. The terminal device 50b includes, for example, a display unit 54, a user interface providing unit 55, a terminal communication unit 56, and a terminal storage unit 57 as functions realized by the terminal program TP.

[0083] (Regarding the display unit 54) The display unit 54 displays various types of information. The display unit 54 is, for example, a display.

[0084] (Regarding the user interface providing unit 55) The user interface providing unit 55 provides a user interface for the subject to input predetermined information.

[0085] For example, the user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen, which is a user interface for the subject to input information, on the display unit 54. The user interface providing unit 55 acquires, for example, information input by the subject on the input screen.

[0086] The user interface may be, for example, a dialogue interface, a calendar interface, or the like.

[0087] The input screen of the interactive interface is a screen for displaying, for example, a message or the like from the information processing device 200 and accepting a response input by the subject in response to the message or the like. When the response is transmitted to the information processing device 200 in response to an instruction from the subject, the input screen of the interactive interface may also display the response. In such an interactive interface, for example, a message or the like from the information processing device 200 and the subject's response thereto are displayed like a series of conversations.

[0088] The input screen of the calendar-type interface is a screen that includes, for example, a calendar corresponding to a month, a week, etc., and accepts input from the subject for each date included in the calendar. In such a calendar-type interface, for example, the subject can easily input information for each date and view that information together with the calendar.

[0089] The user interface is not limited to the above example.

[0090] (Regarding the terminal communication unit 56) The terminal communication unit 56 communicates with other devices via, for example, the communication network NT. The terminal communication unit 56 communicates with, for example, the information processing device 200, thereby transmitting and receiving information to and from the information processing device 200.

[0091] For example, the terminal communication unit 56 acquires an instruction to display an input screen from the information processing device 200. In response to this instruction, for example, the user interface providing unit 55 causes the display unit 54 to display the input screen related to the instruction.

[0092] For example, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the information input by the subject person to the information processing device 200.

[0093] (Regarding the terminal storage unit 57) The device storage unit 57 stores, for example, some or all of the information input by the subject on the input screen. The information stored in the device storage unit 57 may be determined in advance.

[0094] (Configuration example of information processing device 200)

[0095] As shown in FIG. 10 , the information processing device 200 includes a subject information acquisition unit 210, a medication processing unit 220, a start time acquisition unit 230, a creation unit 240, a physical condition information acquisition unit 250, a message output unit 260, a response acquisition unit 270, a medical examination processing unit 280, a question processing unit 290, a notification unit 300, and a memory unit 310.

[0096] (Regarding the target person information acquisition unit 210) The subject information acquiring unit 210 acquires subject information. For example, the subject information acquiring unit 210 acquires subject information input to the terminal device 50b from the terminal device 50b.

[0097] The subject information is information about the subject, and may include, for example, the time of sexual intercourse. That is, the subject information acquisition section 210 may acquire subject information including the time of sexual intercourse.

[0098] (Regarding the medication processing unit 220) The medication processing unit 220 performs processing related to the administration of emergency contraception (medication processing). The medication processing may include, for example, acquiring the administration time from the terminal device 50b. For example, the medication processing may include acquiring the administration time after a predetermined qualified person confirms the subject's administration of emergency contraception.

[0099] (Regarding the start time acquisition unit 230) The start time acquiring unit 230 acquires a management start time including the time of taking the emergency contraceptive or the time of sexual intercourse based on an input to the terminal device 50b, similar to the start time acquiring unit 110 described in the first embodiment. For example, the start time acquiring unit 230 may acquire the time of taking the emergency contraceptive or the time of sexual intercourse as the management start time depending on whether or not the subject has already taken the emergency contraceptive.

[0100] (Regarding the creation unit 240) The creation unit 240 creates a support schedule based on the management start time, similar to the creation unit 120 described in embodiment 1. For example, when the time of intercourse is acquired, the creation unit 240 may create a pre-administration schedule, which is a support schedule before taking the emergency contraceptive, based on the time of intercourse. For example, when the time of administration is acquired, the creation unit 240 may create a post-administration schedule, which is a support schedule after taking the emergency contraceptive, based on the time of administration.

[0101] For example, as described above, the support schedule may include at least one of (1) a timing for confirming administration corresponding to the time when emergency contraception should be taken, (2) an initial confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the time of administration, (3) a periodic confirmation timing occurring at a predetermined confirmation cycle, and (4) an effect confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined effect confirmation period has elapsed since the time of administration.

[0102] In this case, the pre-dose schedule may include (1) a schedule for timing to confirm administration, and the post-dose schedule may include at least one of (2) initial confirmation timing, (3) periodic confirmation timing, and (4) effect confirmation timing.

[0103] The assistance schedule may also include sending a message regarding at least one of (1) to (4).

[0104] (1) The predetermined message regarding the timing of medication confirmation may include, for example, a medication confirmation message for confirming with the subject whether or not they have taken the emergency contraceptive pill.

[0105] (2) The predetermined message regarding the timing of initial confirmation may include, for example, an initial confirmation message to confirm at least one of whether the subject is experiencing any physical discomfort that may occur in people taking emergency contraception, and whether the subject is not engaging in any prohibited acts or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception.

[0106] (3) The predetermined message regarding the periodic check timing may include, for example, a periodic check message to prompt the subject to input information about his or her physical condition.

[0107] (4) The predetermined message regarding the timing of efficacy confirmation may include, for example, an efficacy confirmation message for confirming with the subject the efficacy of the emergency contraceptive.

[0108] (Regarding the physical condition information acquisition unit 250) The physical condition information acquisition unit 250 acquires physical condition information including physical condition input by the subject. The physical condition information acquisition unit 250 may acquire the physical condition information after taking the emergency contraceptive. After taking the emergency contraceptive, it is desirable to manage the physical condition for a predetermined period of time by paying attention to changes in physical condition after taking the emergency contraceptive. Therefore, the physical condition information may be acquired repeatedly at a predetermined cycle, for example, every day. The physical condition may include not only a physical condition such as body temperature but also a psychological state.

[0109] For example, the physical condition information acquisition section 250 may acquire physical condition information input to the terminal device 50b from the terminal device 50b.

[0110] (Message output unit 260) The message output unit 260 outputs a predetermined message based on the assistance schedule. The message output unit 260 may output (transmit) the message to, for example, the terminal device 50b.

[0111] (Regarding the response acquisition unit 270) The response acquisition unit 270 acquires the response of the subject to the predetermined message. The response acquisition unit 270 may acquire, for example, the subject's response input to the terminal device 50b from the terminal device 50b.

[0112] (Regarding the medical examination processing unit 280) The medical examination processing unit 280 performs medical examination support processing to support the subject in visiting a medical institution.

[0113] The medical examination processing unit 280 may perform medical examination support processing to support the subject in visiting a medical institution when predetermined medical examination recommendation conditions are met. The medical examination recommendation conditions may include, for example, at least one of the following: the subject's physical condition has become poor, emergency contraception has been ineffective, etc.

[0114] The consultation support process may include, for example, outputting a consultation recommendation message recommending a consultation at a medical institution (for example, transmitting the consultation recommendation message to the terminal device 50b).

[0115] The medical consultation support process may include, for example, outputting medical institution candidate information for the subject to select a medical institution (for example, transmitting the medical institution candidate information to the terminal device 50b). The medical institution candidate information is, for example, information indicating one or more medical institutions that are candidates for the medical institution at which the subject will be examined. The medical institution candidate information may include, for example, one or more of the following information about the candidate medical institution: name, address, contact information such as telephone number, consultation dates, closed days, consultation hours, whether an appointment is required, URL (Uniform Resource Locator), etc.

[0116] The medical examination support process may include, for example, when medical institution information selected from the medical institution candidate information is acquired, performing medical examination processing to receive a medical examination at the selected medical institution. The medical examination support process may include, for example, when medical institution information indicating a medical institution designated by the subject is acquired, performing medical examination processing. The medical institution information is, for example, information indicating the medical institution selected or designated by the subject, and may include one or more of the medical institution's name, address, contact information such as a telephone number, consultation dates, closed days, consultation hours, whether an appointment is required, URL, etc.

[0117] The medical examination process may be, for example, a process for making an appointment to see the patient at the selected medical institution, or a process for receiving a medical examination online.

[0118] The consultation support process and the examination process are not limited to those exemplified here.

[0119] (Regarding the question processing unit 290) The question processor 290 executes on-demand response processing for responding to any question from the subject at any time. For example, the question processor 290 uses a dialogue-type response model to output a response to a question from the subject.

[0120] For example, when the question processing unit 290 receives a notification from the terminal device 50b that the subject has a question in response to an instruction from the subject, the question processing unit 290 may transmit a predetermined genre (physical symptoms, mental symptoms, etc.) to the terminal device 50b. Then, the question processing unit 290 may acquire the subject's question related to the selected genre in flow words, and transmit a response to the question generated using the dialogue-based response model to the terminal device 50b.

[0121] The interactive response model may be, for example, a machine learning model that has been trained to generate responses to free-word questions. The interactive response model may be created for each genre. In this case, the interactive response model used to generate the response may be an interactive response model corresponding to the selected genre.

[0122] The dialogue response model used by the question processing unit 290 may be, for example, included in the question processing unit 290. In this case, the question processing unit 290 may input a question into the dialogue response model to obtain a response to the question.

[0123] The dialogue response model used by the question processing unit 290 may be provided in, for example, another device (not shown). In this case, the question processing unit 290 may transmit a question to the other device and obtain a response generated by the dialogue response model by inputting the question from the other device.

[0124] The question may be a predetermined question such as a frequently asked question about emergency contraception. In this case, the question processing unit 290 may transmit a response to the question selected from predetermined questions related to a predetermined category (physical symptoms, mental symptoms, etc.) to the terminal device 50b.

[0125] (Regarding the Reporting Department 300) The reporting unit 300 performs reporting processing to contact a predetermined organization when a predetermined reporting condition is met regarding the sexual intercourse that the subject engaged in. The reporting condition may be, for example, that the subject may be a victim of sexual violence. The predetermined organization may be an organization that provides support for victims of sexual violence, the police, etc.

[0126] (Regarding the storage unit 310) The storage unit 310 stores various information related to the subject. For example, the storage unit 310 may store subject information, a part or all of an assistance schedule created for the subject. The storage unit 310 may store log information of the medical examination assistance process, the on-demand response process, and the notification process executed for the subject, and a part or all of the information acquired in each process.

[0127] In addition, when there are multiple subjects, the storage unit 310 may store various information for each subject in association with each other.

[0128] (Example of processing operation of information processing system SYS2) Next, examples of information processing, which are the processing operations of the information processing system SYS2, will be described with reference to the drawings. The information processing executed by the information processing system SYS2 includes, for example, a registration process for registering the subject, a medication process for taking emergency contraceptives, a health management process for periodically managing the subject's health, and a support process for supporting the management of the administration of emergency contraceptives according to a support schedule. The information processing executed by the information processing system SYS2 also includes, for example, a question-answering process for answering questions from the subject as needed.

[0129] (Regarding registration process) 11 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the registration process. For example, the registration process may be executed immediately after the terminal program TP is installed in the terminal device 50b. Note that the trigger for starting the registration process is not limited to this, and may be executed, for example, in response to a request from the target person.

[0130] The user interface providing unit 55 causes the display unit 54 to display an input screen for the subject person to input subject information (step S211). The user interface providing unit 55 acquires the subject information input by the subject person according to the input screen (step S212). The terminal communication unit 56 transmits the subject information (step S213).

[0131] The subject information acquiring section 210 acquires the subject information transmitted in step S213 (step S214). The subject information acquiring section 210 may store the acquired subject information in the storage section 310.

[0132] The subject information may include, for example, sexual intercourse information including the timing of sexual intercourse. The sexual intercourse information is, for example, information about the sexual intercourse that triggers taking emergency contraception. In addition to the timing of sexual intercourse, the sexual intercourse information may include at least one of the following: the reason for worrying about pregnancy, information about unprotected sexual intercourse that occurred after the last menstrual period and before the sexual intercourse, and information about consent to sexual intercourse. "Unprotected sexual intercourse that occurred after the last menstrual period and before the sexual intercourse" will hereinafter also be referred to as "previous sexual intercourse."

[0133] The reason for worrying about pregnancy may be selected from, for example, forgetting to take oral contraceptives (low-dose pills), improper use of condoms, etc. The "other" may include, for example, a comment freely entered by the subject.

[0134] The information regarding the last sexual intercourse may include the time of the last sexual intercourse, whether emergency contraception was taken at the last sexual intercourse, and the like.

[0135] The information regarding consent to sexual intercourse is information indicating whether or not the subject consented to the sexual intercourse. For example, the information regarding consent to sexual intercourse may be information indicating whether or not the sexual intercourse is "conforming" to non-consensual sexual intercourse.

[0136] The subject information may include at least one of the subject ID, password, name, contact information, date of birth, identity verification information, contraceptive method, menstrual date, menstrual cycle, current physical condition, information about past emergency contraception, combination composition, medical history, and whether or not the subject is breastfeeding.

[0137] The subject ID (Identification) is information for identifying the subject. The password is used to log in to receive services provided by the information processing device 100, i.e., to receive support for managing the administration of emergency contraception. The subject ID and password may be set by the subject based on input on an input screen, or may be automatically assigned by the information processing device 100 and notified to the subject in an appropriate manner, such as by displaying the ID and password on the input screen.

[0138] The contact information may include, for example, at least one of an address, a residence, a telephone number, an email address, etc. The identity verification information may include, for example, at least one of an insurance card number, a My Number, etc. The contraceptive method is the contraceptive method usually used by the subject, and may include, for example, whether or not contraception is necessary. For subjects who need contraception, the contraceptive method may include, for example, at least one of low-dose pills, condoms, an intrauterine ring, etc. The menstrual day is the so-called menstrual day, and may be the subject's most recent menstrual day or may further include a predetermined number of menstrual days before that. The menstrual cycle may include information indicating whether or not the menstrual cycle is stable, and may include the number of days or duration indicating the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle may include, for example, either the number of days or duration entered by the subject depending on whether or not the menstrual cycle is stable.

[0139] The current physical condition may include the presence or absence of a predetermined physical condition and its severity, or may be information freely entered by the subject. The predetermined physical condition may include one or more of lower abdominal pain, irregular bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge (smell, color, amount, properties, etc.), anxiety about sexually transmitted diseases, etc. The information regarding past emergency contraception may include whether or not emergency contraception has been used in the past, and if so, may include the timing, method, number of times, etc. The combination composition may be medications, supplements, etc. that the subject is currently taking. The medical history may include, for example, one or more of liver dysfunction, heart disease, kidney disease, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0140] It should be noted that whether input of each piece of information included in the subject information is mandatory or optional may be determined as appropriate. Optional information may be left as "prefer not to answer," left blank, or other predetermined content.

[0141] The input screen for entering the subject information may also include a description of precautions for taking emergency contraception (e.g., instructions on when to take the drug, possible adverse physical symptoms after taking the drug, etc.), and links to websites (websites) containing such information. The input screen may also include one or more of a list of obstetrics and gynecology medical institutions that offer face-to-face consultations for emergency contraception, pharmacies that sell emergency contraception, and additional information on medical institutions and pharmacies, as well as one or more links to websites that provide such information. The additional information may include, for example, one or more of the following: whether or not there is a female doctor, whether or not there is a female pharmacist, how well privacy is protected (information on measures to protect privacy), such as whether or not there is a private room, and whether or not online consultations are available. The input screen may also include one or more of the following: contact information for organizations that provide mental care for those taking emergency contraception, organizations that provide support for victims of sexual violence, and the police, and one or more links to websites that provide such information and services.

[0142] The start time acquisition unit 230 acquires the time of taking the emergency contraceptive or the time of sexual intercourse as the management start time depending on whether the subject has already taken the emergency contraceptive (Step S215).

[0143] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the management start time acquisition process (step S215).

[0144] The start time acquisition unit 230 transmits a question to the terminal device 50b as to whether or not emergency contraception has been taken (step S2151).

[0145] The terminal communication unit 56 receives the question sent in step S2151 (step S2152). The user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen on the display unit 54 for inputting whether or not the emergency contraceptive has been taken (i.e., whether or not it has been taken) (step S2153).

[0146] The input screen displayed in step S2153 may include the question "Have you taken emergency contraception?" along with an input field for inputting a response to this question. This input field may be in a format in which the user can select, for example, "already taken," indicating that the medication has been taken, or "not yet taken," indicating that the medication has not been taken. Furthermore, "already taken" may be associated with an input field for inputting the time of administration (for example, date and time).

[0147] Note that the configuration of the input screen displayed in step S2153 is not limited to the above example. For example, if the time of sexual intercourse is not included in the subject information, the input field for inputting the time of sexual intercourse (e.g., date and time) may be associated with "not yet taken."

[0148] The user interface providing unit 55 acquires the response input by the subject according to the input screen (step S2154).

[0149] The response obtained in step S2154 includes, for example, information indicating whether the subject has already taken emergency contraception. If the subject has already taken emergency contraception, the response may further include, for example, the time of taking the emergency contraception (e.g., date and time). Note that, as described above, the response may further include, for example, the time of taking the emergency contraception (e.g., date and time).

[0150] The terminal communication unit 56 transmits the response acquired in step S2154 (step S2155).

[0151] The start time acquisition unit 230 acquires the response sent in step S2155 (step S2156).

[0152] The start time acquisition unit 230 acquires the time of taking the medicine or the time of sexual intercourse as the management start time in accordance with the response acquired in step S2156 (step S2157).

[0153] For example, if the start time acquisition unit 230 receives a response in step S2156 indicating that emergency contraception has not yet been taken (i.e., has not been taken), it may acquire the time of sexual intercourse included in the subject information acquired in step S214.

[0154] If the response acquired in step S2156 includes the time of sexual intercourse, the start time acquisition section 230 may acquire the time of sexual intercourse included in this response as the management start time.

[0155] For example, if the start time acquisition unit 230 acquires a response in step S2156 indicating that the emergency contraceptive has already been taken (i.e., has already been taken), the start time acquisition unit 230 may acquire the time of taking the emergency contraceptive contained in this response as the management start time. The subject information acquisition unit 210 may store the acquired time of taking the emergency contraceptive in the storage unit 310.

[0156] By performing such management start time acquisition processing (steps S2151 to S2157), the start time acquisition section 230 can acquire the time of taking the emergency contraceptive or the time of sexual intercourse as the management start time, depending on whether the subject has already taken the emergency contraceptive.

[0157] Note that the method of determining the time of taking emergency contraception or the time of sexual intercourse as the start time for management is not limited to this, depending on whether the subject has already taken emergency contraception or not.

[0158] Referring again to FIG. The creating unit 240 creates an assistance schedule based on the management start time acquired in step S215 (step S216). The creating unit 240 may store the created assistance schedule in the storage unit 310.

[0159] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the assistance schedule creation process (step S216).

[0160] The creation unit 240 determines whether the management start time is the time of taking medicine or the time of sexual intercourse (step S2161).

[0161] If the management start time is the time of sexual intercourse ("time of sexual intercourse" in step S2161), the creation unit 240 creates a pre-administration schedule (step S2162). The pre-administration schedule is a support schedule before taking the emergency contraceptive.

[0162] The pre-medication schedule includes, for example, (1) a schedule for timing of confirming administration.

[0163] (1) Timing of medication confirmation and example schedule (1) The timing of taking the medication confirmation corresponds to the time when emergency contraception should be taken, as described above. (1) The schedule of the timing of taking the medication confirmation may include, for example, sending a predetermined message regarding the timing of taking the medication confirmation (e.g., a medication confirmation message).

[0164] As mentioned above, the time to take emergency contraception is often determined to be within a certain period of time from the time of sexual intercourse. The period of time may be one or more periods depending on the likelihood of obtaining the effect of the emergency contraception.

[0165] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a pre-dose schedule.

[0166] The pre-dose schedule shown in Figure 14 is an example of a pre-dose schedule when the period for taking emergency contraception is set at 72 hours, during which the emergency contraception is most likely to be effective, and 120 hours, after which the emergency contraception is less likely to be effective.

[0167] 14 includes sending a medication confirmation message 1 at a medication confirmation timing T1 within 72 hours from the sexual intercourse timing T0. T1 may be, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) 72 hours after T0, or a time (e.g., date and time) a predetermined time (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.) before 72 hours have passed since T0.

[0168] 14 includes sending a medication confirmation message 2 at a medication confirmation timing T2 within 120 hours from the sexual intercourse timing T0. T2 may be, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) 120 hours after T0, or a time (e.g., date and time) a predetermined time (e.g., 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.) before 120 hours have passed since T0.

[0169] The first and second dosage confirmation messages may include a common message, such as "Have you taken the emergency contraceptive pill?" The first and second dosage confirmation messages may include different messages, such as the effects of the emergency contraceptive pill depending on the timing of the dosage confirmation. For example, the first dosage confirmation message may include information that taking the pill within 72 hours of sexual intercourse will provide excellent results. For example, the second dosage confirmation message may include information that the pill is less likely to be effective if taken more than 120 hours after sexual intercourse.

[0170] In this way, a message to confirm whether or not the subject has taken the emergency contraceptive may be sent at the time of confirmation of taking the emergency contraceptive, thereby helping the subject to take the emergency contraceptive by the time it is due to be taken.

[0171] Referring again to FIG. If the management start time is the time to take the emergency contraceptive pill ("time to take the emergency contraceptive pill" in step S2161), the creation unit 240 creates a post-dose schedule (step S2163). The post-dose schedule is a support schedule for after taking the emergency contraceptive pill.

[0172] The post-dose schedule includes, for example, (2) initial check timing, (3) periodic check timing, and (4) effect check timing schedule.

[0173] <(2) Initial confirmation timing and schedule example> (2) As described above, the initial confirmation timing is, for example, a timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the time of taking the medicine. (2) The schedule for the initial confirmation timing may include, for example, sending a predetermined message (e.g., an initial confirmation message) regarding the initial confirmation timing.

[0174] Generally, users of emergency contraception may experience poor physical condition, such as vomiting, within a certain period of time after taking the emergency contraception. Furthermore, users of emergency contraception may be required to follow certain actions (prohibited actions) or contraindications within a certain period of time after taking the emergency contraception. The initial confirmation period may be determined based on these periods.

[0175] For example, the initial confirmation period may be a period for confirming at least one of possible physical discomfort that the user may experience, the absence of prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception, etc. One or more periods may be set for the initial confirmation period depending on the possible physical discomfort that the user may experience, and the prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception.

[0176] <(3) Examples of periodic check timing and schedule> (3) As described above, the periodic confirmation timing is, for example, a timing that occurs at a predetermined confirmation period. (3) Each schedule of the periodic confirmation timing may include, for example, transmission of a predetermined message (for example, a periodic confirmation message) regarding the periodic confirmation timing.

[0177] In general, it is desirable to continuously monitor the user's physical condition after taking emergency contraception. The physical condition may include not only a physical condition such as body temperature but also a psychological state. For example, the monitoring period is a period for continuously monitoring the user's physical condition, and a suitable period for continuously monitoring the user's physical condition may be set. The periodic monitoring schedule may be repeated at least until the timing for confirming the effect, for example.

[0178] <(4) Timing for confirming effectiveness and example schedule> (4) As described above, the timing for effect confirmation is, for example, a timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined period for effect confirmation has elapsed since the time of administration. (4) The schedule for the timing for effect confirmation may include, for example, sending a predetermined message (e.g., an effect confirmation message) regarding the timing for effect confirmation.

[0179] Generally, it takes a certain period of time from administration to confirm the effectiveness of emergency contraception. The effectiveness confirmation period is, for example, a period during which the effectiveness of the emergency contraception is confirmed in a subject, and may be determined based on the general period during which the effects of the emergency contraception appear in a person who takes it.

[0180] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a post-dose schedule.

[0181] The post-dose schedule shown in Figure 15 is an example of a post-dose schedule when the initial confirmation period includes a first initial confirmation period of 2 hours and a second initial confirmation period of 24 hours, the confirmation cycle is 1 day, and the effect confirmation period is 3 weeks.

[0182] <(2) Timing of initial confirmation and detailed example of schedule> 15 includes transmitting an initial confirmation message 1 at an initial confirmation timing S1, which is two hours after the administration time S0. S1 is, for example, a time (e.g., a date and time) two hours after S0.

[0183] Initial confirmation message 1 may include, for example, a message to confirm whether the subject is experiencing any of the physical conditions that may occur in people who take emergency contraception (for example, vomiting after taking the pill). For example, initial confirmation message 1 may include a message such as, "Two hours have passed since you took the pill. Are you feeling any symptoms such as vomiting?"

[0184] 15 includes transmitting an initial confirmation message 2 at an initial confirmation timing S2, which is 24 hours after the administration time S0. S2 is, for example, a time (e.g., a date and time) 24 hours after S0.

[0185] Initial confirmation message 2 may include, for example, a message to confirm that the subject has not engaged in any prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception (e.g., not breastfeeding after taking the pill). For example, initial confirmation message 1 may include a message such as, "24 hours have passed since you took the pill. Have you breastfed since taking it?"

[0186] The initial confirmation timing and the initial confirmation message are not limited to the above examples. For example, the post-dose schedule may include transmitting an initial confirmation message at the initial confirmation timing 48 hours after the administration time S0 to confirm the contraindication of not ingesting a combination composition containing a predetermined ingredient. This post-dose schedule may be created when the combination composition included in the subject information contains the predetermined ingredient. Furthermore, although the above-mentioned initial confirmation messages 1 and 2 are different examples, some or all of the initial confirmation messages may contain the same message.

[0187] In this way, an initial confirmation message may be sent at the initial confirmation timing to confirm with the subject that at least one of the following is true: that the subject is not experiencing any physical condition related to taking emergency contraception, or that the subject is not engaging in any prohibited acts or contraindications. This can assist in managing the subject's physical condition and / or ensuring that the subject is not engaging in any prohibited acts or contraindications.

[0188] The initial confirmation message also includes predetermined initial confirmation items such as vomiting, breastfeeding, etc., as described above. The initial confirmation items may also include, for example, items related to at least one of physical conditions that may occur during the initial confirmation period and prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception. This allows the subject to know specifically what physical conditions may occur or specific prohibited actions or contraindications, and to respond accordingly.

[0189] <(3) Detailed examples of periodic check timing and schedule> 15 includes transmitting periodic confirmation messages at periodic confirmation times C1 to C21, one day after the administration time S0 until the three-week effect confirmation period has elapsed. Each of C1 to C21 is, for example, a time designated by the subject (e.g., 7:00 AM) one day (24 hours) after the administration time S0.

[0190] The periodic check message may include, for example, the message "How are you feeling today?"

[0191] Furthermore, for example, the periodic confirmation message may further include at least one of the following as individual items for health management: "Physical condition... 1. Stable 2. Unstable," "Mental condition... 1. Stable 2. Unstable," "Body temperature... 1. Normal temperature, 2. Slight fever, 3. High fever," etc. By sending these messages, in this example, numbers are assigned to the response items such as "stable" and "unstable" for each condition, and the subject may use these numbers to respond to the messages. This makes it easier for the subject to input information for health management.

[0192] Note that the individual items and answer items for managing physical condition are not limited to those exemplified here. For example, the body temperature may be configured so that the body temperature (degrees) on the day it was measured is input as a response. Also, for example, some or all of the periodic confirmation messages for the periodic confirmation timings may include different messages. For example, the periodic confirmation message may include a different message depending on the period that has elapsed since the dosing time S0 (e.g., 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, etc. since the dosing time S0).

[0193] In this way, periodic confirmation messages may be sent to prompt the subject to input their physical condition at the periodic confirmation timing, thereby supporting the subject who has taken emergency contraception in managing their physical condition on an ongoing basis.

[0194] <(4) Timing of effect confirmation and detailed example of schedule> 15 includes sending an effect confirmation message at an effect confirmation timing R1, which is three weeks after the administration time S0. R1 is, for example, a time (e.g., date and time) three weeks after S0.

[0195] The effect confirmation timing R1 does not have to be, for example, the time (e.g., date and time) exactly three weeks into the effect confirmation period from S0, but may be, for example, a time within the day designated by the subject, a predetermined time, etc. This time designated by the subject may be the same as or different from the time designated by the subject for the periodic confirmation timing.

[0196] The effectiveness confirmation message may include at least one of the following messages, for example, "Have you had your period?", "Have you confirmed the success of the contraception at a medical institution?", "Have you confirmed the success of the contraception with a pregnancy test?", etc.

[0197] In this way, an effect confirmation message may be sent to the subject at the time of effect confirmation to confirm the effect of the emergency contraceptive pill, which can help manage the effect of the emergency contraceptive pill (i.e., whether or not it was successful in preventing pregnancy).

[0198] Furthermore, the effectiveness confirmation message includes predetermined items for confirming effectiveness, such as whether or not a period occurred after taking the pill, whether or not the success of contraception was confirmed at a medical institution or with a pregnancy test, etc. The effectiveness confirmation items include at least one item for confirming whether or not the contraception was successful. This allows the subject to recognize a specific method for confirming the success or failure of contraception and to confirm the success or failure of contraception.

[0199] The effect confirmation message may further include, for example, a message to confirm the subject's physical condition. By sending such an effect confirmation message, it is possible to support the subject who has taken the emergency contraceptive in managing their physical condition.

[0200] Referring again to FIG. The reporting unit 300 determines whether the sexual intercourse performed by the subject satisfies the reporting condition (step S217).

[0201] For example, the reporting unit 300 may determine whether the subject's sexual intercourse satisfies the reporting condition based on the subject information (or sexual intercourse information) acquired in step S214. For example, the reporting unit 300 may determine that the reporting condition is met when the sexual intercourse information includes information indicating that the sexual intercourse "corresponds" to non-consensual sexual intercourse. For example, the reporting unit 300 may determine that the reporting condition is met when the sexual intercourse information includes information indicating that the subject will not respond regarding consent to sexual intercourse (e.g., "I do not want to answer," blank, etc.).

[0202] If the reporting unit 300 determines that the reporting condition is not satisfied (step S217; No), it ends the registration process.

[0203] If the reporting unit 300 determines that the reporting condition is met (step S217; Yes), it performs reporting processing (step S218) and ends the registration processing.

[0204] The reporting process may include, for example, transmitting information including a list of predetermined organizations, such as organizations that provide support for victims of sexual violence and the police, to the terminal device 50b. This list may include contact information for each organization. In this case, the terminal communication unit 56 may acquire the information and display it on the display unit 54. This allows the target person to refer to the list of predetermined organizations and consult with an appropriate organization.

[0205] The reporting process may include, for example, contacting a predetermined organization. In this case, the reporting unit 300 may contact the organization selected by the subject using the terminal device 50b. For example, when the subject refers to the list and receives a response indicating that the subject wishes to consult with the selected organization, the reporting unit 300 may contact the selected organization. This contact may be, for example, by telephone, by sending an email to the organization, or by connecting to a consultation site provided by the organization.

[0206] The notification process is not limited to the example given here.

[0207] By performing this registration process, it is possible to acquire (register) information about the target person. It is possible to create a support schedule that starts management around the time of taking medication or sexual intercourse. In the event of a possible sexual assault, it is possible to support reporting to a designated institution.

[0208] (Regarding medication processing) 16 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the medication process. The medication process is executed, for example, when the management start time is the time of sexual intercourse. The medication process may be executed, for example, in response to an instruction from the subject who is about to take emergency contraception. This instruction may be acquired by the medication processing unit 220 when the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b.

[0209] The trigger for starting the medication process is not limited to this. For example, the medication process may be executed in response to a response to the medication confirmation message indicating that the emergency contraceptive will be taken.

[0210] The medication processing unit 220 outputs a qualified person confirmation message for a predetermined qualified person to confirm whether the subject has taken the emergency contraceptive (step S221).

[0211] For example, the medication processing unit 220 sends a qualified person confirmation message to the terminal device 50b. The specified qualified person is, for example, a doctor, a pharmacist, etc. The qualified person confirmation message may include some or all of the subject information. The qualified person confirmation message may include one or more of the following: physical conditions that may occur in the person taking the emergency contraceptive pill, and prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking the emergency contraceptive pill.

[0212] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the qualified person confirmation message output in step S221 (step S222). The user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen on the display unit 54 for inputting that the qualified person has confirmed (step S223).

[0213] This input screen may include a message verifying eligibility.

[0214] For example, if the qualified person confirmation message includes some or all of the subject information, the qualified person can confirm some or all of the subject information to confirm that there is no problem with the subject taking emergency contraception. Furthermore, the qualified person can provide advice or caution to the subject based on some or all of the subject information, for example, if the subject is breastfeeding or taking a combination composition containing a specified ingredient.

[0215] For example, if the eligibility confirmation message includes one or more of the following: physical conditions that may occur to the user of emergency contraception, prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception, the subject can review the eligibility confirmation message together with the qualified person, thereby helping the subject to reliably understand the precautions that should be taken when taking emergency contraception.

[0216] The terminal communication unit 56 outputs qualified person confirmation information based on, for example, an operation by the qualified person, the subject person, or the like (step S224).

[0217] The qualified person confirmation information is, for example, information indicating that a predetermined qualified person has confirmed the taking of emergency contraception. The input screen displayed in step S223 by the terminal communication unit 56 may include, for example, an item (e.g., a check item) that the qualified person or the subject inputs to indicate that the subject understands the emergency contraception and has no problems taking it. This item may be, for example, an item included in a medical questionnaire, questionnaire, or the like used by the subject at a medical institution, pharmacy, drug store, or other store. Then, for example, when the send button is pressed (touched) after checking the item, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the qualified person confirmation information to the information processing device 200.

[0218] The qualified person confirmation information may include a qualified person ID (e.g., the qualified person's registration number, name, hospital / pharmacy name, etc.) for identifying the qualified person who conducted the confirmation together with the subject. The qualified person ID may be entered by the qualified person, or may be read from a code or RFID tag by the reading unit 51. Furthermore, the qualified person confirmation information may be generated based on an image captured by a camera or other device, for example, when the subject fills out required information on a medical questionnaire or questionnaire at a medical institution, pharmacy, drug store, or other store. This reduces the time and effort required for the subject to both fill out and enter the same information. Furthermore, in cases where the emergency contraceptive needs to be taken in the presence of a qualified person, the operation for outputting the qualified person confirmation information may be performed, for example, when the qualified person confirms that the subject has taken the medication in person. Furthermore, for example, the qualified person confirmation information may be output from a qualified person device (not shown) when the qualified person creates the information based on a medical interview or other information from the subject. The qualified person device terminal is, for example, a device installed in a hospital, pharmacy, or other store. The qualified person device terminal may be, for example, a device for a qualified person to input information heard from a subject, or may be a device for managing the information.

[0219] The medication processing unit 220 acquires the qualified person confirmation information output in step S224 as a response to the qualified person confirmation message (step S225).

[0220] When the medication processing unit 220 acquires the qualified person confirmation information, it outputs a medication time acquisition instruction for acquiring the medication time (step S226).

[0221] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the instruction to acquire the dosing time output in step S226 (step S227). The user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen for acquiring the dosing time on the display unit 54 (step S228).

[0222] This input screen may include, for example, a send button to be pressed after taking the medicine. This input screen may include, for example, a message to the effect that the send button should be pressed after taking the medicine.

[0223] In addition, in cases where the emergency contraceptive needs to be taken in the presence of a qualified person, a dosing confirmation instruction may be output instead of the dosing timing acquisition instruction in steps S226 to S227. The dosing confirmation instruction is an instruction to confirm that the subject has taken the contraceptive in the presence of a qualified person. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S228 may include, for example, a message to the qualified person to confirm that the subject has taken the contraceptive in their presence. Furthermore, when an operation after taking the contraceptive (for example, pressing the send button) is performed, the operation may be accepted on the condition that a qualified person ID for identifying the qualified person who confirmed the operation together with the subject has been obtained. The qualified person ID may, for example, be entered by the qualified person, or may be read from a code or RFID tag by the reading unit 51.

[0224] The terminal communication unit 56 outputs a medication completion report based on, for example, an operation by a qualified person, a subject, or the like (step S229).

[0225] The medication completion report is information indicating that medication has been completed. The operation by the qualified person, the subject, etc. is, for example, pressing a send button included in the input screen displayed in step S228. When the send button is pressed, for example, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the medication completion report to the information processing device 200. The medication completion report may include the qualified person ID of the qualified person who confirmed that the subject has taken the medication.

[0226] The medication processing unit 220 acquires the medication time based on the medication completion report output in step S228 (step S230). The medication processing unit 220 may store the acquired medication time in the storage unit 310.

[0227] For example, the medication processing unit 220 may acquire the time (e.g., date and time) when the medication completion report is received from the terminal device 50b as the medication time. For example, the terminal communication unit 56 may output a medication completion report including the medication time, and the medication processing unit 220 may acquire the medication time based on this medication completion report. In this case, the medication time may be, for example, the time when the medication completion report is output in step S228 (e.g., the current time), or the time entered by the qualified person, the subject, etc.

[0228] The creation unit 240 creates a post-dose schedule based on the dosing time acquired in step S230 (step S231), and ends the dosing process. A detailed example of the process of creating a post-dose schedule may be the same as that of step S2163 described above.

[0229] By executing this administration process, if the subject has not yet taken emergency contraception at the start of the administration period, the next administration period can be obtained. It is possible to support the proper administration of emergency contraception so that emergency contraception is taken under the supervision of a qualified person. It is also possible to create a post-administration schedule for subjects whose administration period started during sexual intercourse.

[0230] (Regarding health management procedures) The health management process is a process for inputting and registering health information corresponding to a certain periodic check timing. However, the trigger for starting the health management process is not limited to this.

[0231] The physical condition management process may be executed, for example, in response to an instruction from the subject who periodically inputs his / her physical condition. This instruction may be acquired by the physical condition information acquisition unit 250 when the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b.

[0232] It is desirable that periodic physical condition information be input within a certain period of time from the periodic check timing. For example, if the check cycle is one day and the periodic check timing is 7:00 AM, it is undesirable to input physical condition information from the previous night. Therefore, an instruction to start a health management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing may be accepted a predetermined time before the periodic check timing (for example, two hours before).

[0233] In contrast to this, it may be determined as appropriate whether or not an instruction to start a health management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing is accepted after the periodic check timing, and if so, whether or not to impose a limit on the period for accepting the instruction.

[0234] For example, if a user did not enter his or her physical condition for a certain day, the user can recall and enter the physical condition for that day. Therefore, by accepting an instruction to start a physical condition management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing at any time after the periodic check timing, it is possible to manage many likely periodic physical conditions. On the other hand, in order to ensure accurate physical condition management, such as body temperature, the physical condition management process corresponding to a certain periodic check timing may be limited to a predetermined time (e.g., within two hours) after the periodic check timing. Such a limit may be set in advance for each of the above-mentioned physical condition management items.

[0235] FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of the physical condition management process.

[0236] The physical condition information acquisition unit 250 outputs a physical condition acquisition instruction to acquire physical condition information (step S241).

[0237] The terminal communication unit 56 receives the physical condition acquisition instruction output in step S241 (step S242). The user interface providing unit 55 displays an input screen for acquiring physical condition information on the display unit 54 (step S243).

[0238] This input screen may be, for example, a calendar-type interface. That is, the input screen may include, for example, a monthly or weekly calendar. This calendar may also include the physical condition and medication timings, etc., for each periodic check timing (for example, each date) that has been input so far. The physical condition and medication timings, etc. may be represented using appropriate icons.

[0239] To input the physical condition corresponding to a certain periodic check timing (for example, a certain date), the subject may select the periodic check timing from a calendar included in the input screen, for example.

[0240] The user interface providing unit 55 may further display, for example, an input screen on the display unit 54 for inputting the physical condition corresponding to the selected day. This input screen is a screen for the subject to input items included in the physical condition information, such as "physical condition," "mental condition," and "body temperature." This input screen may be a screen for selecting either "1. Stable" or "2. Unstable" for each of "physical condition" and "mental condition," and for "body temperature," selecting either "1. Normal temperature," "2. Slight fever," or "3. High fever." The user interface providing unit 55 acquires physical condition information including the physical condition, mental condition, and body temperature for the selected day, based on, for example, the user's selection (input). Here, the specific body temperature ranges for normal temperature, slight fever, and high fever may be predetermined.

[0241] The physical condition information may include, for example, information (items) indicating whether or not the success of contraception has been confirmed. Whether or not the success of contraception has been confirmed may include, for example, one or more of the presence or absence of menstruation, whether or not the success of contraception has been confirmed at a medical institution or with a pregnancy test, etc.

[0242] The items included in the physical condition information are not limited to the above examples, and may include at least one item. The physical condition information may include, for example, an item regarding the presence or absence of symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases, and an item regarding the presence and status of bleeding (menstruation, withdrawal bleeding, irregular bleeding, etc.). The physical condition information may include, for example, an item regarding prohibited acts or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception.

[0243] The method of acquiring the physical condition information is not limited to the example given here. For example, the user interface providing unit 55 may acquire physical condition information such as body temperature from a wristwatch-type wearable device used by the subject.

[0244] The terminal communication unit 56 outputs the physical condition information acquired using, for example, the input screen displayed in step S228 (step S244).

[0245] For example, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits the physical condition information to the information processing device 200.

[0246] The physical condition information acquisition section 250 acquires the physical condition information output in step S244 (step S245), and ends the physical condition management process. The physical condition information acquisition section 250 may store the acquired physical condition information in the storage section 310. At this time, the physical condition information acquisition section 250 may store the physical condition information in the storage section 310 in association with information for specifying the periodic check timing. By including the physical condition information stored in this way in, for example, a physical condition acquisition instruction, the above-mentioned calendar including the physical condition at each past periodic check timing, the timing of taking medication, etc. may be displayed.

[0247] By performing such a physical condition management process, the physical condition of the subject can be managed at each periodic check timing.

[0248] (About support processing) The support process includes a pre-dose support process based on a pre-dose schedule and a post-dose support process based on a post-dose schedule, each of which will be described below.

[0249] (Regarding pre-dose support processing) FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the flow of pre-dose support processing.

[0250] As described above, the pre-medication schedule is created when the management start time is the time of sexual intercourse. The support process based on the pre-medication schedule (pre-medication support process) is executed, for example, when the medication confirmation timing included in the pre-medication schedule arrives. The pre-medication support process may be executed, for example, when the medication confirmation timing arrives, until the medication time is acquired. In other words, once the medication time is acquired, the pre-medication support process corresponding to the subsequent medication confirmation timings may not be executed.

[0251] 14 includes two dose confirmation timings T1 and T2. Therefore, for example, if the dose timing is not acquired by the dose confirmation timing T2, the pre-dose support process is repeatedly executed at the dose confirmation timings T1 and T2.

[0252] The following describes in detail an example in which the medication confirmation timing T1 has arrived. The pre-medication support process in which the medication confirmation timing T2 has arrived may be a process in which the "medication confirmation timing T1" and "medication confirmation message 1" in the following description are replaced with "medication confirmation timing T2" and "medication confirmation message 2," respectively.

[0253] When the medication confirmation timing T1 arrives, the message output unit 260 outputs medication confirmation message 1 based on the pre-medication schedule (step S251). The message output unit 260 transmits medication confirmation message 1 to the terminal device 50b, for example. In this way, medication confirmation message 1 is output at medication confirmation timing T1 if the medication time has not been acquired by the medication confirmation timing T1.

[0254] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the medication confirmation message 1 output in step S251 (step S252). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the medication confirmation message 1 and an input screen for inputting a response to the medication confirmation message 1 on the display unit 54 (step S253).

[0255] The response to the medication confirmation message 1 may include, for example, whether or not the emergency contraceptive has already been taken. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S253 may include, for example, an input item for selecting either "I have not yet taken the emergency contraceptive" or "I have already taken the emergency contraceptive." It may also include a dosage time input field for inputting the time of administration if "I have already taken the emergency contraceptive" is selected. A typical example of when "I have already taken the emergency contraceptive" is selected is when the subject takes the emergency contraceptive without performing the medication process.

[0256] When a predetermined operation, such as pressing a response button, is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 outputs a response to the medication confirmation message 1 (step S254).

[0257] The terminal communication unit 56 transmits, for example, a response to the medication confirmation message 1 to the information processing device 200. This response includes the information entered on the input screen displayed in step S253. In the above example, the response to the medication confirmation message 1 may include whether or not the emergency contraceptive was taken, and if so, when the emergency contraceptive was taken.

[0258] The response acquiring unit 270 acquires the response output in step S254 (step S255). The response acquiring unit 270 may store the response in the storage unit 310. The response acquiring unit 270 determines whether the response acquired in step S255 includes the dosing time (step S256).

[0259] If the response includes the dosing time (step S256; Yes), the creation unit 240 creates a post-dose schedule based on this dosing time (step S231), and ends the pre-dose support process. A detailed example of the process of creating a post-dose schedule may be the same as described above.

[0260] If the response does not include the timing of administration (step S256; No), that is, if the subject has not yet taken the emergency contraceptive, the response acquisition section 270 ends the pre-administration support process.

[0261] By executing such pre-administration support processing, it is possible to support the subject in taking emergency contraception at the appropriate time. Even if the subject takes emergency contraception without executing the administration processing, it is possible to create a post-administration schedule and support the post-administration management.

[0262] The medication confirmation message may further include at least one of whether or not a prescribed contraindication applies, confirmation of understanding of side effects, concomitant compositions, whether or not the patient is a victim of sexual violence, the patient's physical condition at the time of taking the medication, the patient's psychological state at the time of taking the medication, and whether or not the patient feels nauseous. In this case, the response to the medication confirmation message may further include at least one of whether or not a prescribed contraindication applies, confirmation of understanding of side effects, concomitant compositions, whether or not the patient is a victim of sexual violence, the patient's physical condition at the time of taking the medication, the patient's psychological state at the time of taking the medication, and whether or not the patient feels nauseous.

[0263] (Post-dose support process) As described above, the post-dose schedule is created, for example, when the management start time is the medication time or when the medication time is acquired. Support processing based on the post-dose schedule (post-dose support processing) includes, for example, initial support processing, periodic support processing, and effect confirmation support processing.

[0264] The initial support process is a process that is executed when the initial confirmation timing included in the post-dose schedule arrives. The periodic support process is a process that is executed when the periodic confirmation timing arrives. The effect confirmation support process is a process that is executed when the effect confirmation timing arrives. Each of these processes will be explained below.

[0265] (Initial support process) FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the initial support process.

[0266] As described above, the initial support process is executed when the initial confirmation timing included in the post-dose schedule arrives. The post-dose schedule illustrated in FIG. 15 includes two initial confirmation timings, S1 and S2. Therefore, the initial support process is repeatedly executed at the initial confirmation timings S1 and S2.

[0267] The following describes in detail the case where the initial confirmation timing S1 has arrived as an example. The initial support process when the initial confirmation timing S2 has arrived may be a process in which, for example, "initial confirmation timing S1" and "initial confirmation message 1" in the following description are replaced with "initial confirmation timing S2" and "initial confirmation message 2," respectively.

[0268] When the initial confirmation timing S1 arrives, the message output unit 260 outputs the initial confirmation message 1 based on the post-dose schedule (step S261). The message output unit 260 transmits the initial confirmation message 1 to the terminal device 50b, for example.

[0269] Terminal communication unit 56 acquires initial confirmation message 1 output in step S261 (step S262). User interface providing unit 55 displays initial confirmation message 1 and an input screen for inputting a response to initial confirmation message 1 on display unit 54 (step S263).

[0270] The response to the initial confirmation message 1 may include, for example, whether or not a predetermined illness such as vomiting occurred. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S263 may include, for example, an input item for selecting either "present" or "not present" of the predetermined illness.

[0271] If the initial confirmation message includes a predetermined prohibited act or taboo, the response to the message may include whether or not the prohibited act or taboo has been performed. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S263 may include, for example, an input item for selecting either "performed" or "did not perform" the predetermined prohibited act or taboo.

[0272] When a predetermined operation such as pressing a response button is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 outputs a response to the initial confirmation message 1 (step S264).

[0273] The terminal communication unit 56 transmits, for example, a response to the initial confirmation message 1 to the information processing device 200. This response includes the information selected on the input screen displayed in step S263. In the above example, the response includes either "yes" or "no." Note that the response to a predetermined prohibited act or taboo matter may include either "yes" or "no."

[0274] The response acquisition unit 270 acquires the response transmitted in step S264 (step S265). The response acquisition unit 270 may store the response in the storage unit 310. The consultation processing unit 280 determines whether the consultation recommendation conditions are met based on the response acquired in step S265 (step S266).

[0275] For example, if a predetermined malfunction is "present," the medical examination processing unit 280 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met. For example, if a predetermined malfunction is "not present," the medical examination processing unit 280 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is not met.

[0276] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are met (step S266; Yes), the consultation processing unit 280 executes the consultation support process (step S267).

[0277] The consultation support process includes, for example, as described above, at least one of sending medical institution candidate information to the terminal device 50b and a consultation process for receiving a consultation at a selected or designated medical institution.

[0278] If it is determined that there is no predetermined malfunction (step S266; No), the medical examination processing unit 280 ends the initial support process.

[0279] In addition, the cases where a specified prohibited act or taboo item has been "performed" and "not performed" may be treated in the same way as the cases where a specified illness has "occurred" and "not occurred," respectively.

[0280] By executing such initial support processing, it is possible to manage the subject's physical condition that may occur at a predetermined time, and to warn the subject not to perform predetermined prohibited acts or taboos. Furthermore, if the subject's physical condition becomes unwell or if the subject performs predetermined prohibited acts or taboos, it is possible to support the subject in visiting a medical institution.

[0281] Furthermore, when a patient visits a medical institution, various information such as subject information, physical condition information, etc. may be referenced using, for example, the terminal device 50b, etc. This allows the patient to receive a medical examination with accurate information provided to a doctor, etc., thereby supporting the patient's visit to the medical institution.

[0282] (Regarding periodic support processing) FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the periodic support process.

[0283] As described above, the periodic support process is executed when the periodic confirmation timing arrives.

[0284] For example, if the health information corresponding to the periodic check timing has already been acquired by executing the above-described health management process, the periodic support process corresponding to that periodic check timing does not need to be executed.

[0285] The periodic support process may be executed when the medication confirmation timing arrives until it is confirmed that contraception has been successful, for example. In other words, once it is confirmed that contraception has been successful, the periodic support process corresponding to the subsequent periodic confirmation timing may not be executed.

[0286] 15 includes 21 periodic confirmation timings C1 to C21. Therefore, if, for example, it is not confirmed that contraception has been successful by the periodic confirmation timing C21 and the physical condition management process corresponding to each periodic confirmation timing C1 to C21 has not been executed, the periodic support process is repeatedly executed at the periodic confirmation timings C1 to C21.

[0287] In the following, a detailed explanation will be given of an example in which the periodic check timing C1 arrives without the corresponding health management process being performed. The periodic support process when the periodic check timings C2 to C21 arrive may be, for example, a process in which "periodic check timing C1" in the following explanation is replaced with each of the periodic check timings C2 to C21.

[0288] When the periodic confirmation timing C1 arrives, the message output unit 260 outputs a periodic confirmation message based on the post-dose schedule (step S271). The message output unit 260 transmits the periodic confirmation message to, for example, the terminal device 50b.

[0289] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the periodic confirmation message output in step S271 (step S272). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the periodic confirmation message and an input screen for inputting a response to the periodic confirmation message on the display unit 54 (step S273).

[0290] The response to the periodic confirmation message may include, for example, physical condition information. This physical condition information may be the same as the physical condition information acquired by the physical condition information acquisition unit 250 in the physical condition management process. In this case, the input screen displayed in step S273 may be, for example, a screen for the subject to input items included in the physical condition information, such as "physical condition," "mental condition," and "body temperature," as described above.

[0291] The method of acquiring physical condition information is not limited to the example given here. For example, the user interface providing unit 55 may acquire physical condition information such as body temperature from a wristwatch-type wearable device used by the subject. Furthermore, the subject who has confirmed the periodic confirmation message may have the information processing device 200 execute the physical condition management process without following the process below. This also allows the information processing device 200 to acquire physical condition information.

[0292] When a predetermined operation, such as pressing a response button, is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits a response to the periodic confirmation message (step S274).

[0293] This response includes the physical condition information entered on the input screen displayed in step S273.

[0294] The response acquisition unit 270 acquires the response transmitted in step S274 (step S275). The response acquisition unit 270 may store the response in the storage unit 310. The consultation processing unit 280 determines whether the consultation recommendation conditions are met based on the response acquired in step S275 (step S276).

[0295] For example, the medical examination processing unit 280 may determine that the medical examination recommendation conditions are met when at least one of the following conditions 1 to 3 continues for a predetermined period (for example, three days or more) regarding the physical condition information at the periodic check timings C1 to C21. Condition 1: "Physical condition" is "2. Unstable" Condition 2: "Mental state" is "2. Unstable" Condition 3: "Body temperature" is "2. Slight fever"

[0296] For example, the medical examination processing unit 280 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met when the following condition 4 is met for the physical condition information at the periodic check timings C1 to C21. Condition 4: "Body temperature" is "3. High fever"

[0297] For example, the consultation processing unit 280 may determine that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met in cases other than the above examples.

[0298] If it is determined that the medical examination recommendation conditions are met (step S276; Yes), the medical examination processing unit 280 executes the medical examination support process as described above (step S267), and ends the periodic support process.

[0299] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met (step S276; No), the consultation processing unit 280 ends the periodic assistance process.

[0300] By executing such periodic support processing, the physical condition of the subject can be periodically managed, and if the subject's physical condition becomes unwell, support can be provided for the subject to visit a medical institution.

[0301] As described above, the physical condition information may include, for example, information (items) indicating whether or not success of contraception has been confirmed. In this case, for example, when success of contraception is confirmed based on the physical condition information, the response acquisition unit 270 may change the post-drug support schedule so that no further processing based on the post-drug support schedule is executed.

[0302] (Regarding effect confirmation support processing) FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the effect confirmation support process.

[0303] As described above, the effect confirmation support process is executed when the effect confirmation timing included in the post-dose schedule arrives. In the post-dose schedule illustrated in Fig. 15, the effect confirmation support process is executed at the effect confirmation timing R1. Note that, for example, if it is confirmed that contraception has been successful by the effect confirmation timing R1 based on physical condition information, etc., the effect confirmation support process does not need to be executed.

[0304] When the effect confirmation timing R1 arrives, the message output unit 260 transmits an effect confirmation message based on the post-dose schedule (step S281). The message output unit 260 transmits the effect confirmation message to, for example, the terminal device 50b.

[0305] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the effect confirmation message output in step S281 (step S282). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the effect confirmation message and an input screen for inputting a response to the effect confirmation message on the display unit 54 (step S283).

[0306] The response to the effect confirmation message may include, for example, effect confirmation information related to predetermined effect confirmation items. The effect confirmation items may include, for example, as described above, one or more of whether menstruation occurred after taking the medicine, whether success of contraception was confirmed at a medical institution or with a pregnancy test, etc. The response to the effect confirmation message may include, for example, physical condition information.

[0307] When a predetermined operation such as pressing a response button is performed, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits a response to the effect confirmation message (step S284).

[0308] This response includes at least one of the effect confirmation items and physical condition information entered on the input screen displayed in step S283.

[0309] The response acquisition unit 270 acquires the response transmitted in step S284 (step S285). The response acquisition unit 270 may store the response in the storage unit 310. The consultation processing unit 280 determines whether the consultation recommendation conditions are met based on the response acquired in step S285 (step S286).

[0310] For example, the medical examination processing unit 280 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met if the contraception failed at the effect confirmation timing R1. For example, the medical examination processing unit 280 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met if at least one of the above conditions 1 to 3 continues for a predetermined period (e.g., three days or more) with respect to the physical condition information at the effect confirmation timing R1 and the periodic confirmation timings C1 to C21. The medical examination processing unit 280 may determine that the medical examination recommendation condition is met if the physical condition information at the effect confirmation timing R1 satisfies condition 4.

[0311] For example, the consultation processing unit 280 may determine that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met in cases other than the above examples.

[0312] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are met (step S286; Yes), the consultation processing unit 280 executes the consultation support process as described above (step S267), and ends the effect confirmation support process.

[0313] If it is determined that the consultation recommendation conditions are not met (step S286; No), the consultation processing unit 280 ends the effect confirmation support process.

[0314] By executing this effect confirmation support process, the subject can confirm the effect of the emergency contraceptive at the appropriate time. If there is a possibility that the effect was not obtained, the subject can be supported to visit a medical institution. Furthermore, if the subject's physical condition is unwell, the subject can be supported to visit a medical institution.

[0315] (Question-answering processing) FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of the question answering process.

[0316] As described above, the question answering process is a process for answering questions from the subject at any time. For example, when the subject feels unwell, feels anxious, or wants to consult about something, the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b to select a question category. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a screen for selecting a category. Categories include, for example, physical symptoms, mental symptoms, etc., but are not limited to these.

[0317] Then, the subject inputs a question and performs a predetermined operation (for example, pressing a send button) to transmit the question to the information processing device 200. Fig. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a screen after the question is transmitted. The question answering process starts when the information processing device 200 receives the selected genre and question from the terminal device 50b.

[0318] 23 and 24 show an example in which the user interface used for the question answering process in the terminal device 50b is an interactive interface. Note that a user interface other than an interactive interface may also be used for the question answering process.

[0319] Please refer to Figure 22. The question processing unit 290 acquires a response to the question using a dialogue response model corresponding to the selected genre (step S291).

[0320] The question processing unit 290 outputs the response acquired in step S291 (step S292). For example, the question processing unit 290 transmits the response to the terminal device 50b.

[0321] The terminal communication unit 56 acquires the response output in step S292 (step S293). The user interface providing unit 55 displays the acquired response on the display unit 54 (step S294). Figure 25 is a diagram showing an example of a screen on which the response is displayed.

[0322] The user interface providing unit 55 determines whether an instruction to end the question and answer process has been received (step S295). For example, when the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b (for example, pressing the end button), the user interface providing unit 55 receives the end instruction.

[0323] If the end instruction has not been received (step S295; No), the user interface providing unit 55 determines whether the next question has been received (step S296). For example, when the subject performs a predetermined operation on the terminal device 50b (for example, pressing the send button after inputting a question), the user interface providing unit 55 receives the next question.

[0324] If the next question has not been accepted (step S296; No), the user interface providing unit 55 executes step S295 again.

[0325] If an end instruction has been received (step S295; Yes), the user interface providing unit 55 ends the question answering process.

[0326] If the next question is received (step S296; Yes), the terminal communication unit 56 outputs the received question (step S297). For example, the terminal communication unit 56 transmits a response to the information processing device 200. As a result, the processes from step S291 onwards are executed again.

[0327] By executing such a question and answer process, the subject can consult with a doctor at any time if he / she has any physical or mental concerns.

[0328] (Actions and Effects) According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a message output unit 260 that outputs a predetermined message based on the assistance schedule.

[0329] The support schedule includes sending messages regarding at least one of a dosing confirmation timing corresponding to the time when the emergency contraceptive should be taken, an initial confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined initial confirmation period has elapsed since the time of taking the emergency contraceptive, a periodic confirmation timing that occurs at a predetermined confirmation cycle, and an effect confirmation timing corresponding to the time when a predetermined effect confirmation period has elapsed since the time of taking the emergency contraceptive.

[0330] The predetermined message regarding the timing to confirm administration includes a administration confirmation message for confirming with the subject whether or not the emergency contraceptive has been taken. The predetermined message regarding the initial confirmation timing includes an initial confirmation message for confirming at least one of whether or not the subject is experiencing any physical condition that may occur in users of emergency contraception, and whether the subject is not engaging in any prohibited acts or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception. The predetermined message regarding the periodic confirmation timing includes a periodic confirmation message for prompting the subject to input their physical condition. The predetermined message regarding the timing to confirm effectiveness includes an effectiveness confirmation message for confirming with the subject the effectiveness of the emergency contraceptive.

[0331] As a result, sending a dosage confirmation message can assist the subject in taking the emergency contraceptive by the time it should be taken, as described above. Sending an initial confirmation message can assist in managing at least one of the subject's physical condition and ensuring that the subject is not engaging in prohibited acts or contraindications, as described above. Sending periodic confirmation messages can assist in the ongoing physical condition management of the subject who has taken the emergency contraceptive, as described above. Sending an efficacy confirmation message can assist in the management of the efficacy of the emergency contraceptive, as described above.

[0332] Therefore, it becomes possible to support management regarding the administration of emergency contraception.

[0333] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a response acquisition unit 270 that acquires a response from a subject to a predetermined message.

[0334] This makes it possible to acquire and manage information regarding the administration of emergency contraception based on responses to messages, thereby supporting management of the administration of emergency contraception.

[0335] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a physical condition information acquisition unit 250 that acquires physical condition information including the physical condition input by the subject. The periodic confirmation message is output when physical condition information corresponding to the periodic confirmation timing has not been acquired.

[0336] This makes it possible to increase the likelihood that the subject will record their periodic health information without missing any, if the subject has not entered the health information corresponding to the periodic check timing by the time the timing is reached, thereby supporting the management of emergency contraception administration.

[0337] According to this embodiment, the initial confirmation message includes a message for confirming predetermined initial confirmation items. The response to the initial confirmation message includes initial confirmation information related to the initial confirmation items. The initial confirmation items include items related to at least one of physical conditions that may occur during the initial confirmation period and prohibited actions or contraindications associated with taking emergency contraception.

[0338] This allows the subject to know what specific physical ailments may occur or what specific prohibited actions or contraindications exist, and to respond accordingly. For example, the subject can feel reassured by knowing what physical ailments may occur. Also, for example, by knowing what prohibited actions or contraindications exist, the subject can be careful to observe them. Therefore, it is possible to support management of the administration of emergency contraception.

[0339] According to this embodiment, the effect confirmation message includes a message for confirming predetermined effect confirmation items. The response to the effect confirmation message includes effect confirmation information related to the effect confirmation items. The effect confirmation items include at least one item for confirming whether or not contraception has been successful.

[0340] This allows the subject to know the specific method for checking the success or failure of contraception, and to confirm the success or failure of contraception, thereby supporting the management of emergency contraception administration.

[0341] According to this embodiment, the medication confirmation message is output at the medication confirmation timing if the administration date has not been obtained by that timing. The response to the medication confirmation message includes the administration date. By creating a support schedule, a post-administration schedule is created based on the administration date to support management after taking the emergency contraceptive.

[0342] This makes it possible to encourage users to take emergency contraception if they have not taken it by the time they should. Also, if they have taken emergency contraception by the time they should take it, it is possible to support management after taking the emergency contraception. Therefore, it is possible to support management related to the use of emergency contraception.

[0343] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a medication processing unit 220 that acquires the timing of medication after a predetermined qualified person confirms whether the subject is taking emergency contraceptives.

[0344] This will help ensure that the person taking emergency contraception is properly qualified, thereby helping to manage the use of emergency contraception.

[0345] According to this embodiment, the medication processing unit 220 acquires the medication time after further confirming that the subject has taken the medication in the presence of a qualified person.

[0346] This helps ensure that emergency contraception is taken in the presence of a qualified person, thereby supporting management of emergency contraception use.

[0347] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a medical examination processing unit 280 that performs medical examination support processing to support the subject in visiting a medical institution when predetermined medical examination recommendation conditions are met. The medical examination recommendation conditions include at least one of the subject experiencing a predetermined physical condition and emergency contraceptives being ineffective.

[0348] This will help the subject to visit a medical institution as needed, and therefore support the management of taking emergency contraception.

[0349] According to this embodiment, the medical consultation support process includes outputting candidate medical institution information for the subject to select a medical institution, and when the selected medical institution information is obtained from the candidate medical institution information, performing a medical examination process to receive a medical examination at the selected medical institution.

[0350] This can assist the subject in visiting a medical institution, thereby supporting the management of taking emergency contraceptives.

[0351] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a question processing unit 290 that uses an interactive response model to output a response to a question from a subject.

[0352] This allows the subject to consult at any time if they have any physical or mental concerns, etc. Therefore, it becomes possible to support the management of emergency contraception use.

[0353] According to this embodiment, the response to the medication confirmation message further includes at least one of whether or not the medication falls under any specified contraindications, confirmation of understanding of side effects, co-administered compositions, whether or not the patient is a victim of sexual violence, the patient's physical condition at the time of taking the medication, the patient's psychological state at the time of taking the medication, and whether or not the patient feels nauseous.

[0354] This allows the subject to check various information through the administration confirmation message before taking emergency contraception, thereby supporting the management of emergency contraception administration.

[0355] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a subject information acquisition unit 210 that acquires subject information including the time of sexual intercourse.

[0356] This allows the subject to be supported in taking emergency contraception using the support schedule from before taking the emergency contraception, thereby making it possible to support the management of the administration of emergency contraception.

[0357] According to this embodiment, the subject information includes at least one of the following: reasons for worrying about pregnancy, information about unprotected sexual intercourse that occurred after the last menstrual period and before the sexual intercourse in question, information about consent to sexual intercourse, contraceptive method, menstrual date, menstrual cycle, current physical condition, information about past emergency contraception, combination composition, medical history, whether or not the subject is breastfeeding, personal identification information, and contact information.

[0358] This allows appropriate support to be provided to each individual, thereby helping them manage the use of emergency contraception.

[0359] According to this embodiment, the information processing device 200 includes a reporting unit 300 that performs reporting processing to contact a predetermined organization when a predetermined reporting condition is met regarding sexual intercourse performed by a subject.

[0360] This allows the appropriate institution to be contacted if necessary, and therefore provides support regarding sexual intercourse, which may be the trigger for taking emergency contraception.

[0361] Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Various modifications that can be understood by those skilled in the art can be made to the configuration and details of the present invention within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, each embodiment can be combined with other embodiments, modifications, etc. as appropriate.

[0362] In addition, although the flowcharts used in the above description show a sequence of steps (processes), the order of steps executed in each embodiment is not limited to the sequence shown. For example, in each embodiment, the order of steps shown in the drawings can be changed as long as it does not cause any problems in terms of the content. [Explanation of symbols]
