[0012] <System configuration> First, the overall system configuration will be described. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a treatment support system 100 to which a treatment support device 1 according to this embodiment is applied. The treatment support system 100 provides a service to support cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder to both patients and medical professionals.

[0013] The treatment support system 100 is realized by a treatment support device 1 that transmits and receives various information to and from a patient terminal 2 and a medical professional terminal 3 via a communication network such as the Internet. The treatment support device 1 is an information processing device (computer) that provides various information related to cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder to the patient terminal 2 and the medical professional terminal 3, and functions as a server.

[0014] The patient terminal 2 is an information processing device used by a patient undergoing cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder. The patient terminal 2 is configured by a smartphone, tablet, personal computer, or the like. The patient terminal 2 may exchange various types of information with the treatment support device 1 using a pre-installed program, or may exchange various types of information via a web browser. In this embodiment, the patient terminal 2 is pre-installed with a program for supporting cognitive behavioral therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and by activating this program, various types of information is transmitted and received with the treatment support device 1. Hereinafter, the program installed in the patient terminal 2 will be described as an app.

[0015] The medical professional terminal 3 is an information processing device used by a medical professional such as a doctor who administers cognitive behavioral therapy to a patient for obsessive-compulsive disorder. The medical professional terminal 3 is configured as a tablet, personal computer, smartphone, etc. The medical professional terminal 3 may exchange various information with the treatment support device 1 using a pre-installed program, or may exchange various information via a web browser.

[0016] <Hardware configuration> Next, an example of hardware constituting the medical treatment support device 1 will be described. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the medical treatment support device according to this embodiment. The medical treatment support device 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11 as a processor, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input / output interface 15, an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

[0017] The CPU 11 executes various processes in accordance with programs recorded in the ROM 12 or programs loaded from the storage unit 18 into the RAM 13. The RAM 13 also stores data and the like required for the CPU 11 to execute various processes. The CPU 11, the ROM 12, and the RAM 13 are interconnected via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to this bus 14.

[0018] The input / output interface 15 is connected to an output unit 16, an input unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20. The output unit 16 is composed of a display, a speaker, etc., and outputs various information as images and sounds. The input unit 17 is composed of a keyboard, a mouse, etc., and inputs various information. The storage unit 18 is composed of a hard disk, a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), etc., and stores various data. The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices via a network N including the Internet.

[0019] Removable media 21, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory, is appropriately attached to the drive 20. Programs read from the removable media 21 by the drive 20 are installed in the storage unit 18 as needed. The removable media 21 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same way as the storage unit 18.

[0020] The hardware configuration described here is merely an example. The computer described in this embodiment, including the treatment support device 1, may have a configuration common to that of FIG. 2, or a different configuration. The computer may also be composed of two or more computers. The patient terminal 2 and the medical professional terminal 3 in FIG. 1 are, for example, smartphones, tablets, or personal computers having the same configuration as that of FIG. 2.

[0021] <Functional configuration> Next, a description will be given of the functional configuration of the treatment support device 1. Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the treatment support device 1 according to this embodiment.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 3, the medical treatment support device 1 includes a dialogue unit 31, an information acquisition control unit 32, a symptom information acquisition unit 33, an anxiety level information acquisition unit 34, a treatment task setting information acquisition unit 35, a treatment task implementation record information acquisition unit 36, a habituation record information acquisition unit 37, a goal information acquisition unit 38, a lifestyle improvement information acquisition unit 39, a disease education information output unit 40, an input log information output unit 41, and a medical professional notification unit 42, all of which are functional units implemented on a processor (CPU 11). The medical treatment support device 1 also includes a database 90 as a storage unit for storing various types of information. The database 90 may be located outside the medical treatment support device 1, and various types of information may be read from the database 90 via a communication network.

[0023] The dialogue unit 31 is a dialogue means for carrying out any dialogue with the patient terminal 2. The dialogue unit 31 supports the patient's input by, for example, messages provided by a chatbot. Chat by the chatbot may be provided by a conversation engine constructed based on a preset scenario, or may be provided by AI based on a learning model constructed by machine learning or the like. In the following description, when simply referring to chat, it does not mean a conversation between humans, but rather the provision of information in an interactive format by a chatbot. The dialogue between the chatbot of the dialogue unit 31 and the patient terminal 2 is stored in the database 90 as a dialogue log.

[0024] In this embodiment, the dialogue by the dialogue unit 31 is carried out based on a session selected by the patient. The sessions selected by the patient will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is an example of a session selection screen on which the patient selects a session. As shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), in this embodiment, a plurality of sessions are carried out for each predetermined group such as "Introduction," "Basic Knowledge," "Preparation for Practice," and "Practice."

[0025] The information acquisition control unit 32 is an information acquisition control means that concurrently (for example, alternately) accepts input of various pieces of information from the patient terminal 2. The information acquisition control unit 32 acquires the dialogue log stored by the dialogue unit 31 from the database 90, and stores the information accepted from the patient terminal 2 in the database 90 as input log information.

[0026] The information acquisition control unit 32 of this embodiment outputs information to the patient terminal 2 to prompt the patient to input each piece of information in the patient terminal 2 in accordance with the content of the dialogue by the dialogue unit 31. The information to prompt the patient to input is displayed superimposed on an interface screen such as a chat screen.

[0027] An example in which information prompting input is superimposed on a chat screen will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a chat screen. FIG. 5(a) illustrates an example in which information prompting input (an operation portion for transitioning to an input screen) is superimposed on a chat screen on a chatbot screen realized by the dialogue unit 31. In this example, a dialogue guiding the patient to record the implementation is taking place in a chat when recording the implementation of a practical assignment is selected in the app on the patient terminal 2. Below the chatbot's message, "Please open the screen below to record your implementation," an operation portion consisting of a combination of a picture and text ("Today's assignment implementation record") for transitioning to an input screen for the implementation record of the assignment is superimposed on the chat screen. When this operation portion is selected by a tap operation or the like by the patient, the screen transitions to a screen for inputting the implementation record. Details of the implementation record input screen will be described later using FIG. 11 and the like.

[0028] When input on the input screen is completed, the screen returns to the chat screen in Figure 5(a). At the bottom of the chat screen in Figure 5(a), a confirmation section is displayed to confirm whether input of the implementation record is complete. When the patient selects "Completed" in this confirmation section, the dialogue between the chatbot and the patient resumes. In this way, the configuration of this embodiment allows for movement back and forth between the chat and the input screen.

[0029] Furthermore, the information acquisition control unit 32 of this embodiment can also accept additional input of information previously input on the patient terminal 2 when acquiring information. FIG. 5(b) shows an example in which a confirmation section is superimposed on the chat screen on the chatbot screen realized by the dialogue unit 31, prompting the patient to choose whether to accept additional input of information previously input. In this example, a confirmation section prompting the patient to select "Start from the beginning" or "Start from the beginning" is displayed below the chatbot message "This conversation ended halfway through the previous conversation" and "Do you want to continue from where you left off?" If the patient selects "Start from the beginning," the conversation begins from the beginning, not where it ended last time. If the patient selects "Start from the beginning," the conversation resumes from where it ended last time. This function allows the patient to choose whether to enter additional input for the information previously input.

[0030] The various types of information superimposed by the information acquisition control unit 32 include information to prompt the input of symptom information, anxiety level information, treatment task setting information, treatment task implementation record information, habituation record information, goal information, and lifestyle improvement information (operation part that transitions to an input screen), and information to prompt the confirmation of disease education information (operation part that transitions to a screen to confirm the educational content information described below).

[0031] Next, we will explain examples of the input screens for these various types of information and the screens that prompt you to confirm disease education information. The screens explained below are screens that can be transitioned to depending on the information superimposed on the chat screen. In other words, they are screens that can be transitioned to during a conversation with the chatbot.

[0032] The symptom information acquisition unit 33 is a symptom information acquisition means that acquires symptom information, which is information related to symptoms, from the patient terminal 2 receiving treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder. The symptom information includes, for example, the symptom title, antecedent stimulus, behavior frequency, obsessions, compulsions, etc. The symptom information acquisition unit 33 acquires input log information from the database 90 and stores the symptom information acquired from the input log information in the database 90.

[0033] An example of acquiring input log information including symptom information will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a symptom list input screen. Fig. 6 is a screen transitioned from the operation portion superimposed on the chat screen as described above, or a screen displayed when the patient selects to input a symptom list on the app of the patient terminal 2.

[0034] Figure 6(a) shows an input screen for adding, editing, and deleting from the symptom list. This input screen displays information about symptoms previously registered by the patient in list form. Figure 6(b) shows an input screen for editing (inputting) information about already registered symptoms. This input screen pops up when the input screen in Figure 6(a) is tapped. The input items on the input screen for editing include the symptom title, antecedent stimulus, and behavior frequency. The input screen for adding a new symptom, which is displayed by tapping the "Add Symptom +" section on the input screen in Figure 6(a), also includes the same input items as Figure 6(b). Patients can use the input screen shown in Figure 6 to add new symptoms or check and edit already registered symptoms.

[0035] FIG. 7 shows an example of a selection screen for obsessions and compulsions. FIG. 7(a) shows a selection screen on which a patient selects the information they wish to enter from among the obsessions and compulsions. When a tap operation is performed to select "your selected obsession" or "your selected compulsion" in FIG. 7(a), multiple types of selected data cards are displayed, as shown in FIG. 7(b). The selected data cards are image information that displays the content of the obsessions or compulsions that apply to the patient using images and text. The patient taps the selection card for the obsession that applies to them from the multiple selection cards shown in FIG. 7(b). In this example, the selection card whose display mode changes upon tapping becomes the obsession selected by the patient. Note that when a compulsion in FIG. 7(a) is selected, multiple types of selected data cards for the compulsions are displayed, as in FIG. 7(b).

[0036] The anxiety level information acquiring unit 34 is an anxiety level information acquiring means that acquires anxiety level information, which is information relating to the relative degree of anxiety of the patient about the symptoms, from the patient terminal 2. The anxiety level information is, for example, a score indicating the relative degree of anxiety. The anxiety level information acquiring unit 34 acquires input log information from the database 90, and stores the anxiety level information acquired from the input log information in the database 90.

[0037] In this embodiment, the anxiety level information acquisition unit 34 acquires an anxiety hierarchy table as anxiety level information. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an input screen for the anxiety hierarchy table. Fig. 8 is a screen transitioned from the operation portion superimposed on the chat screen as described above, or a screen displayed when the patient selects to input the anxiety hierarchy table on the app of the patient terminal 2.

[0038] Figure 8(a) shows an anxiety hierarchy table that indicates the scores for each symptom entered by the patient. In the anxiety hierarchy table, a score ranging from 0 to 100 is entered for each symptom. In this example, multiple symptoms and their corresponding scores have been entered, such as "holding on to a train strap" at 100 points, "throwing trash in an outdoor trash can" at 80 points, and "going out to a busy area, bringing back luggage, and putting it in the bedroom" at 80 points.

[0039] Tapping the "Add Item to Anxiety Hierarchy Table +" button located above the anxiety hierarchy table in Figure 8(a) transitions to a screen for adding symptoms to the anxiety hierarchy table, as shown in Figure 8(b). The input screen shown in Figure 8(b) displays a symptom selection operation section for selecting a symptom from a symptom list using a pull-down menu, and an input section for determining the score corresponding to the selected symptom using a pull-down menu. When a symptom is selected using the pull-down menu on the input screen in Figure 8(b), the screen transitions to a screen showing details of the symptom, as shown in Figure 8(c). The details are information previously entered in the symptom list, such as "situation," "worries / thoughts," "behavior," and "frequency of behavior." Since the symptoms correspond to the symptom list described above, the information required for inputting the anxiety hierarchy table is copied from the symptom list. In this way, the input information for symptom information and the input information for the anxiety hierarchy table can be mutually used. In this example, 20 points is entered as the score for the symptom to be added.

[0040] When a symptom ("holding on to a train strap," "throwing trash in an outdoor trash can," "going out to a busy area, bringing back luggage and putting it in the bedroom") located in the anxiety hierarchy table in Figure 8(a) is selected, the screen transitions to a screen for editing the score. This screen is the same as the screen in Figure 8(c). In this embodiment, the details of the symptom cannot be changed from the anxiety hierarchy table, and only the score can be changed.

[0041] The treatment problem setting information acquisition unit 35 is a treatment problem setting information acquisition means that acquires treatment problem setting information related to setting a treatment problem for suppressing symptoms from the patient terminal 2. The treatment problem setting information acquisition unit 35 acquires input log information from the database 90, and stores the treatment problem setting information acquired from the input log information in the database 90.

[0042] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a treatment task setting screen. Fig. 9 is a screen transitioning from the operation portion superimposed on the chat screen as described above, or a screen displayed when the patient selects to set a treatment task on the app of the patient terminal 2.

[0043] Figure 9(a) shows an operation section for adding a treatment task and a screen showing a list of treatment tasks that have already been set. When the operation section for adding a treatment task is selected by the patient, a screen for adding a new treatment task shown in Figure 9(b) is displayed. The screen in Figure 9(b) shows an input field for the title of the task (symptom to be addressed), a selection section for selecting the symptom to be addressed in treatment from the symptoms registered in the anxiety hierarchy table using a pull-down menu, an input field for the exposure method, an input field for the method of response prevention, etc. A new treatment task is added by entering various information on the screen in Figure 9(b).

[0044] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of detailed information about a treatment task. FIG. 10 is a screen displayed when "Reduce hand washing time after using the toilet" in FIG. 9(a) is selected as a treatment task. The upper part of the input screen shown in FIG. 10(a) shows an operation section for recording implementation and an operation section for editing the implementation record. The patient can input an implementation record of the treatment task by operating the operation section for recording implementation. For example, the actual implementation time and the time spent operating the implementation record are recorded.

[0045] Furthermore, at the bottom of the input screen shown in FIG. 10(a), information regarding the details of the treatment task "reduce hand washing time after using the toilet" is displayed. In FIG. 10(a), the task details tab is selected, and when the implementation record tab is selected, the screen transitions to the screen shown in FIG. 10(b). In FIG. 10(b), along with multiple implementation records, "Details" is displayed as an operation section for checking the details of the implementation records. When "Details" in FIG. 10(b) is selected, the screen transitions further to a screen showing the details of the implementation records shown in FIG. 10(c). The screen shown in FIG. 10(c) allows the implementation records to be edited or deleted.

[0046] The treatment task implementation record information acquisition unit 36 ​​is a treatment task implementation record information acquisition means that acquires treatment task implementation record information related to the treatment task implementation record from the patient terminal 2. The treatment task implementation record information acquisition unit 36 ​​acquires input log information from the database 90, and stores the treatment task implementation record information acquired from the input log information in the database 90.

[0051] Fig. 12(a) shows a screen for selecting a treatment task for which habituation information is to be recorded. The treatment tasks displayed here are based on information preset by the patient. When the patient selects a treatment task for which habituation information is to be recorded from one or more treatment tasks shown in Fig. 12(a), the screen transitions to Fig. 12(b). In this example, it is assumed that the treatment task "reduce hand washing time after using the toilet" is selected in Fig. 12(a).

[0052] Figure 12(b) shows a screen that includes a setting section for setting the recording time interval for anxiety and discomfort, as well as an operation section for starting the recording of anxiety and discomfort. The patient can select the recording time interval for anxiety and discomfort from options displayed in a pull-down menu. When the patient performs the start operation after setting the recording time interval, the screen changes to Figure 12(c). Figure 12(c) shows a display section that shows the elapsed time from the start and the time remaining until the next anxiety and discomfort recording time, as well as an operation section for operating to end the recording time. When the recording time ends, the screen changes to Figure 12(d). Figure 12(d) shows a setting section for setting the score that the patient will assign to the anxiety and discomfort recording. The patient can select a score for the recording time of anxiety and discomfort from a pull-down menu, ranging from 0 to 100. Through this series of processes, habituation information is recorded.

[0053] The recorded habituation information can be confirmed from the treatment task list screen. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the treatment task list screen. Fig. 13 is a screen transitioned from the operation portion superimposed on the chat screen as described above, or a screen displayed when the patient selects the treatment task list display on the application of the patient terminal 2.

FIG. 13(b) shows a graph of habituation information, with the horizontal axis representing time and the vertical axis representing scores, along with the implementation record of the treatment task for the date and time selected by the patient. Note that this graph will not be displayed if the patient has not performed an operation to record habituation information for the selected implementation record.

[0055] The goal information acquisition unit 38 is a goal information acquisition means that acquires goal information related to goals after symptom improvement from the patient terminal 2 at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing may be, for example, when the frequency of patient information input or app use falls below a predetermined level, or when the speed of symptom reduction falls below a predetermined level. The goal after symptom reduction may be, for example, things that the patient would like to do once the symptoms are reduced. In this embodiment, multiple goals are accepted as the goal after symptom reduction as a list of things the patient would like to do once the symptoms are reduced. The goal information acquisition unit 38 acquires input log information from the database 90 and stores the goal information acquired from the input log information in the database 90.

Figure 14(b) displays an input field for adding something to do, along with an "Add" operation to save the input. By adding a new thing to do in this input field, the patient can add the new thing to do to the list in Figure 14(a).

[0059] The lifestyle improvement information acquisition unit 39 is a lifestyle improvement information acquisition means that acquires lifestyle improvement information related to lifestyle improvements from the patient terminal 2 at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing may be, for example, when the frequency of patient information input or app use falls below a predetermined level, when the speed of symptom relief falls below a predetermined level, or at regular intervals of every few days. A lifestyle improvement may be, for example, an improvement in one's ability to live a certain life. In this embodiment, multiple lifestyle improvements are accepted as a list of improvements in one's ability to live a certain life. The lifestyle improvement information acquisition unit 39 acquires input log information from the database 90 and stores the lifestyle improvement information acquired from the input log information in the database 90. The lifestyle improvement information may be accepted, for example, in a format similar to the input format shown in FIG. 14 .

[0060] The disease education information output unit 40 is a disease education information output means that outputs disease education information related to educational content information on obsessive-compulsive disorder to the patient terminal 2 at a predetermined timing. The predetermined timing is, for example, when the frequency of patient information input or app usage falls below a predetermined level. Patient information input includes information input via chat and operations input on the app of the patient terminal 2. Educational content information includes explanations and examples of obsessions and compulsions. The disease education information output unit 40 obtains disease education information from the database 90 and outputs it to the patient terminal 2.

[0061] Specific examples of educational content information will be described. The educational content information can be transmitted to patients in various formats. For example, the educational content information can be transmitted in an audio format using voice, a video format using moving images, an image format combining pictures and text such as cartoons, an interactive format using the dialogue unit 31, a mini-game format, deep breathing content that lectures on how to take deep breaths, a multiple-choice format in which answers to questions are selected, etc.

[0062] Among the educational content information, we will explain deep breathing content that lectures on how to take deep breaths. Figure 15 is a diagram showing an example of deep breathing content as educational content information. Figure 15 shows a screen that is displayed at a predetermined timing, and is the screen that is displayed when a screen to which a transition is made from the operation portion superimposed on the chat screen as described above is selected.

[0063] Figure 15(a) shows a screen where the patient selects the purpose of use of the deep breathing content. In this example, the patient can select either "refresh" or "relax," whichever they prefer. The breathing method corresponding to the selected purpose of use is shown to the patient in a game format. When the purpose of use is selected in Figure 15(a), the screen transitions to Figure 15(b). In this example, "refresh" is selected.

[0064] FIG. 15(b) shows a screen for selecting the breathing time. In this example, the patient can select the breathing time from 1 minute, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes. When the breathing time is selected in FIG. 15(b), the screen transitions to FIG. 15(c). On the screen shown in FIG. 15(c), breathing is guided according to the purpose of use by an animation (video) illustrating the timing of breathing. When the breathing time selected by the patient in FIG. 15(b) has ended, the screen transitions to FIG. 15(d).

[0065] Figure 15(d) displays a text indicating the end, along with an operation section that allows the patient to select either "End" or "Start again." If "End" is selected, the deep breathing content ends, and if "Start again" is selected, the screen returns to the screen for setting the breathing time in Figure 15(b), and the same operation is repeated from then on.

[0066] Of the educational content information, the selection cards will now be described. Figure 16 is a diagram showing an example of a selection card as educational content information. Figure 16(a) shows a selection card consisting of text including a picture and a question, along with an operation section for selecting an answer to the question. In this example, the question is set as "Do you want to value social contribution?", and the patient can select "I want to" or "I don't really think so" as the answer. After answering, the screen will transition to a selection card screen for another question, where the patient can enter a new answer. When the patient has finished answering multiple types of selection cards, the screen will transition to the screen shown in Figure 16(b).

[0067] Figure 16(b) shows the results of multiple responses to questions on choice cards like those shown in Figure 16(a), along with the selected choice cards. In this example, for 10 different question cards, "I would like to do it" was selected 5 times (5 items) and "I don't really think so" was selected 5 times (5 items). By checking this screen, patients can clarify what they value.

[0068] As described above, the information acquisition control unit 32 of this embodiment can accept various types of information, such as symptom information, anxiety level information, treatment task setting information, treatment task implementation record information, habituation record information, goal information, and lifestyle improvement information, in parallel. It can also be said that the information acquisition control unit 32 can accept various types of information alternately.

[0069] As described above, the input screen for various information entered through the patient terminal 2 can transition to related input screens. Furthermore, related information is automatically copied. For example, related information is automatically reflected from the symptom list (symptom information) to the anxiety hierarchy table (anxiety level information). The symptom list can also be confirmed from the anxiety hierarchy table. In this way, the input screens for various information can be moved back and forth.

[0070] Next, among the functional units, the functions of the input log information output unit 41 and the medical practitioner notification unit 42, which provide various information to the medical practitioner terminal 3, will be described.

[0071] The input log information output unit 41 is an input log information output means that outputs input log information from the patient terminal 2, such as symptom information, anxiety level information, treatment task setting information, and treatment task implementation record information, to the medical professional terminal 3. The input log output by the input log information output unit 41 can also be used to create a symptom list and an anxiety hierarchy table on the medical professional terminal 3 side.

[0072] The medical professional notification unit 42 is a medical professional notification means that notifies the medical professional terminal 3 of each piece of information (that is, information) received from the patient terminal 2 in accordance with the content of each piece of information input to the treatment support device 1. The medical professional notification unit 42 can acquire symptom information, anxiety level information, treatment task setting information, treatment task implementation record information, habituation record information, goal information, and lifestyle improvement information from the database 90, and output them to the medical professional terminal 3.

[0073] (Processing content) 17, a description will be given of processing related to symptom information, anxiety level information, and problem information by the input log information output unit 41 and the medical professional notification unit 42. Fig. 17 is a sequence diagram showing an example of exchange of information including symptom records on the treatment support system 100.

[0074] In step S1, a symptom list is created as symptom information on the app on the patient terminal 2, and is transmitted from the patient terminal 2 to the medical treatment support device 1. In step S2, the symptom information acquisition unit 33 of the medical treatment support device 1 acquires the symptom list. Next, in step S3, the medical practitioner notification unit 42 of the medical treatment support device 1 transmits to the medical practitioner terminal 3 a notification that the symptom list of the patient has been acquired.

[0075] In step S4, an anxiety hierarchy table is created as anxiety level information on the app on the patient terminal 2, and is transmitted from the patient terminal 2 to the medical treatment support device 1. In step S5, the anxiety level information acquisition unit 34 of the medical treatment support device 1 acquires the anxiety hierarchy table. Next, in step S6, the medical professional notification unit 42 of the medical treatment support device 1 transmits to the medical professional terminal 3 a notification that the patient's anxiety hierarchy table has been acquired.

[0076] In step S7, a treatment task is set on the app on the patient terminal 2 and transmitted from the patient terminal 2 to the treatment support device 1. In step S8, the treatment task setting information acquisition unit 35 of the treatment support device 1 acquires information for setting a treatment task. Next, in step S9, the medical professional notification unit 42 of the treatment support device 1 transmits to the medical professional terminal 3 that the information for setting a treatment task for the patient has been acquired.

[0077] In step S10, a medical professional requests viewing of the patient's records on the medical professional terminal 3, and the viewing request is sent to the treatment support device 1. In step S11, the input log information output unit 41 of the treatment support device 1 sends an input log including the patient's record information requested for viewing to the medical professional terminal 3. The record information is, for example, a symptom list, an anxiety hierarchy table, and treatment tasks.

[0078] 18, the processing related to the implementation record and habituation information of the input log information output unit 41 and the medical professional notification unit 42 will be described. FIG. 18 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the exchange of information including the implementation record on the treatment support system 100.

[0079] In step S21, an implementation record is entered on the app on the patient terminal 2 and transmitted from the patient terminal 2 to the treatment support device 1. In step S22, the treatment task implementation record information acquisition unit 36 ​​of the treatment support device 1 acquires the implementation record entered by the patient. Next, in step S23, the medical professional notification unit 42 of the treatment support device 1 transmits to the medical professional terminal 3 that the symptom list of the patient has been acquired.

[0080] In step S24, habituation information is registered on the application of the patient terminal 2 and transmitted from the patient terminal 2 to the medical treatment support device 1. In step S25, the habituation record information acquisition unit 37 of the medical treatment support device 1 acquires the habituation information registered by the patient. Next, in step S26, the medical practitioner notification unit 42 of the medical treatment support device 1 transmits to the medical practitioner terminal 3 a notification that the habituation information has been acquired.

[0081] In step S27, when an operation to review the task is performed on the app of the patient terminal 2, a process is executed in which the patient terminal 2 requests information about the treatment task from the treatment support device 1. In step S28, information about the treatment task set by the patient and the implementation record of the treatment task, etc. is transmitted to the patient terminal 2.

[0082] In step S29, a request to view the implementation record information and habituation information is made by the medical professional on the medical professional terminal 3, and the request is sent to the treatment support device 1. In step S30, the input log information output unit 41 of the treatment support device 1 sends the requested implementation record information and habituation information record information of the patient to the medical professional terminal 3.

[0083] FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of operations on the application of the patient terminal 2.

[0084] In step S101, the medical treatment support device 1 accepts a login process from the patient terminal 2. The medical treatment support device 1 executes the login process by, for example, checking the account and password information entered by the patient after starting an app pre-installed in the patient terminal 2. In this example, it is assumed that the patient has installed the app and registered as a user in advance.

[0085] In step S102, the treatment support device 1 transmits information for displaying a selection screen after login on the patient terminal 2. For example, after login, a selection screen for selecting a session, exercise, or record is displayed on the patient terminal 2.

[0086] In step S103, the treatment support device 1 accepts the operation result of the patient on the selection screen and proceeds to processing corresponding to the operation result. If "Session" is selected, the processing proceeds to step S104, where the patient is prompted to select a session. In the processing of step S104, a screen for selecting a session as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the patient terminal 2.

[0087] If "exercise" is selected in step S103, the process proceeds to step S105, where the patient is prompted to select educational content information. For example, the patient selects the exercise they wish to perform from a screen that displays audio, video, image (such as cartoon), dialogue, mini-game, deep breathing content, selection cards, etc. After the patient makes their selection, the screen transitions to a screen that outputs educational content information according to the selection result. In step S105, the patient can select the educational content information they wish to perform without going through a chat screen using the dialogue unit 31.

[0088] If "Record" is selected in step S103, the process proceeds to step S106, where the patient selects the information they want to record or check the record of. For example, the patient selects the information they want to record or check from a screen that displays "Things to do when symptoms improve," "Obsessions & Compulsions," "Symptom List," "Anxiety Hierarchy Chart," "Setting Treatment Tasks," "Task Implementation List," etc. After the patient makes their selection, the screen transitions to a screen for recording or checking information according to the selection result. In the process of step S106, the patient can select the information they want to record or check the record of without going through the chat screen by the dialogue unit 31.

[0089] If an operation to terminate the application is performed in step S107, the process ends. If an operation to terminate the application is not performed, the process returns to step S102, and the operation of the application continues.
