[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.

[0012] [First embodiment] A pathogen test result tabulation system 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. The pathogen test result tabulation system 100 is a system for tabulating test results indicating whether a pathogen is positive or negative.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the pathogen test result tabulation system 100 includes an information processing terminal 101 equipped with a display control unit 111 and a transmission unit 112, and a server .

[0014] The display control unit 111 displays an input screen 113 for inputting test results for each of a plurality of pathogens. The transmission unit 112 transmits the test results 114 input from the input screen 113 to the server 102. The server 102 tally the test results 114 transmitted from the transmission unit 112 and generates a tally screen 121.

[0015] According to the above configuration, the test results for multiple pathogens can be compiled and checked in real time.

[0016] [Second embodiment] Next, a pathogen test result tabulation system 200 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2, the pathogen test result tabulation system 200 includes a smartphone 201 as an information processing terminal equipped with a display control unit 211 and a transmission unit 212, a network 203, and a server 202.

[0018] The display control unit 211 displays an input screen 213 for the test results for each of a plurality of pathogens on the touch panel of the smartphone 201. The transmission unit 212 transmits the test results 214 input from the input screen 213 to the server 202 via the network 203. The server 202 tally the test results 214 transmitted from the transmission unit 212 and generates a tally screen 221.

[0019] The display control unit 211 displays on the input screen 213 a plurality of pathogen names 231 and a selection means 232 that allows the user to select whether the result is positive or negative for each of the plurality of pathogens.

[0020] 3 is an enlarged view of the input screen 213. As shown in FIG. 3, the display control unit 211 displays, as a selection means, a plus button 301 indicating a positive result and a minus button 302 indicating a negative result for each of a plurality of pathogens on the input screen 213. By simply touching these buttons on the touch panel, the test results for each pathogen can be input. The plus button 301 and the minus button 302 function exclusively, so that if the plus button 301 is touched and then the minus button 302 is touched, the plus button 301 is turned off and the minus button 302 is turned on.

[0021] Furthermore, the touch panel has a send button 303 displayed on the input screen 213 by the display control unit 211 to instruct transmission of the test results to the server 202. When the send button 303 is touched, the transmission unit 212 transmits the test results for each pathogen at that time (whether the plus button 301 is on, the minus button 302 is on, or both are off) to the server. If both the plus button 301 and the minus button 302 are off, a signal indicating that the pathogen has not been tested is sent to the server.

[0022] Furthermore, on the touch panel, the display control unit 211 displays a cancel button 304 for canceling the input test results on the input screen 213. When the cancel button 304 is touched, both the plus button 301 and the minus button 302 return to the off state.

[0023] 3, the user (doctor or nurse) can record the test results by basically pressing one button (plus button 301 or minus button 302) once for each test, and finally, by pressing send button 303, the test results can be stored in server 202. There is no need to input other information such as the user's personal information, and only information on whether or not the test is positive for pathogens can be collected, which is an advantage for doctors and nurses as it is very easy to use and allows the server 202 to perform aggregation using a small amount of data.

[0024] In response to an operation of the send button 303, the transmission unit 212 transmits information indicating the location and date and time of the test together with the test results for each pathogen to the server 202. The location of the test may be configured to be the address of a medical institution registered when the application is installed. Furthermore, the smartphone 201 may transmit GPS values ​​and date and time information detected by a known method to the server 202 together with the test results for each test.

[0025] It is desirable that communication between the server 202 and the information processing terminal 201 be performed using a fixed line IP. The server 202 may display the input screen 213 on the information processing terminal 201 only when accessed from a predetermined IP. This allows use by simply distributing a security URL, and is secure. On the other hand, to improve convenience, the input screen 213 itself may be configured to be displayable on the information processing terminal 201 even offline, and test results may be accumulated in the information processing terminal 201, and the accumulated test results 214 may be transmitted to the server 202 at a predetermined timing. GPS location information and facility names may be linked in advance on the server 202 side. Items that can be entered on the input screen 213 may include genetic test results, or may be configured so that items can be freely created by doctors, etc.

[0026] The server 202 generates a tally screen 221 shown in FIG. 4 based on the test results 214 transmitted from the transmission unit 212. The tally screen 221 tallys up the test results for each test location. The test results display the test date and time, and whether each pathogen was positive (+ in the figure), negative (- in the figure), or untested (0 in the figure). By operating the information processing terminal 201, a doctor or nurse can display the tally screen 221 on the information processing terminal 201 and grasp the prevalence status of each pathogen. The server 202 may generate, as the tally screen 221, a ranking screen of pathogens with the highest number of positives in each region. In FIG. 4, if the number of positives 401, the positive rate 402, and a graph 403 representing the number of positives for each pathogen are displayed in descending order of the number of positives, a pathogen positive count ranking screen is created.

[0027] Furthermore, the server 202 may generate a distribution map of the number of positive cases on a map, as shown in FIG. 5, as another example of the tally screen 221. This distribution map allows a user to intuitively understand how patients who tested positive for various pathogens are distributed across the map. For example, FIG. 5 depicts the distribution of influenza type B in Kanagawa Prefecture by selecting only influenza type B in the pathogen selection section 502. The size of the circle 501 is proportional to the number of influenza type B positive cases. In other words, FIG. 5 shows that Kawasaki City has the highest number of influenza type B positive cases. Instead of simply counting the number of positive cases, the size of the circle may represent the population ratio. Furthermore, by simultaneously selecting multiple pathogens in the pathogen selection section 502, circles showing the distribution of other pathogens, such as influenza type A, coronavirus, and adenovirus, may be displayed overlapping or side-by-side.

[0028] As an example, Figure 5 shows the distribution by city, town, and village, but it is also possible to display the total number of facilities in a square area of ​​latitude α±n degrees and longitude β±n degrees. Of course, it is also possible to display the distribution of positive cases by prefecture or country. The distribution map can be displayed for different periods, such as the current day, the previous day, the past week, or the past month, and the numerical values ​​(number of positive cases, positive rate, etc.) can be expressed by the intensity of the circle color. Test items can also be displayed overlapping each other.

[0029] As another example of the summary screen 221, as shown in FIG. 6, a time slider 601 may be further displayed to allow intuitive understanding of past changes in pathogen distribution. Furthermore, past changes in pathogen distribution may be learned for each pathogen, and a future pathogen distribution map may be created and displayed as a forecast. This makes it possible to share pathogen distribution predictions with a simple configuration, allowing for the proper adjustment of stockpiles of test kits and medicines.

[0030] The display control unit 211 may change the display order of the multiple pathogen names 231 displayed on the input screen 213 in Fig. 3 based on the counting results tallied by the server 202. In other words, if the counting results show that there are more COVID-19 positive patients than positive patients for other pathogens, the COVID-19 test result input field 731 will be displayed at the top, as shown in Fig. 7. By sorting the test result input fields 731 in order of the tallied positive numbers in this way, the test result input fields 731 that are frequently operated by doctors and nurses will be displayed at the top, making the application even easier to use.

[0031] 3 based on the tabulation results compiled by the server 202. This reduces the possibility of incorrect input by doctors and nurses because the arrangement of the test result input fields 731 does not change, and also makes it possible to understand which pathogens are prevalent from the input screen 213 without having to look at the tabulation screen 221.

[0032] A configuration may be adopted in which a doctor or the like can freely set how the input screen 213 should be changed in accordance with such a compilation result using a setting screen (not shown).

[0033] As another aggregation screen 221, the server 202 may generate a line graph 801 showing the monthly change in the number of positive pathogen cases in a predetermined location (such as within a clinic, a city, town, or village, or the entire country), as shown in FIG. 8. In this case, the graphs may be overlaid to allow comparison with changes from last year and the year before. In this line graph, the vertical axis represents real numbers and the horizontal axis represents time, but the vertical axis may also represent the positive rate. Changes may be shown for the current day, the previous day, the past week, the past month, or three months, and changes for that month may be displayed by specifying a month, such as January 2024. Graphs for multiple test items may also be overlaid.

[0034] The input screen 213 is not limited to the display form shown in FIG. 2, and may be configured as an input screen 901 having a selection means 911 that allows the user to input positive or negative by flicking left or right, as shown in FIG.

[0035] [Third embodiment] Next, a pathogen test result tabulation system 1000 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the pathogen test result tabulation system according to this embodiment. The pathogen test result tabulation system according to this embodiment differs from the second embodiment in that it includes an audio processing unit 1013. Other configurations and operations are similar to those of the second embodiment, and therefore the same configurations and operations are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0036] The voice processing unit 1013 inputs test results by voice, indicating whether each of a plurality of pathogens is positive or negative. For example, by speaking "influenza type A test result is positive," the result is input that the test result for influenza type A was positive.

[0037] This allows test results to be entered more easily and safely.

[0038] [Other embodiments] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various modifications can be made to the configuration and details of the present invention that are understandable to those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention. Furthermore, systems or devices that combine the separate features included in each embodiment in any manner are also included in the technical scope of the present invention.

[0039] For example, this system can be applied to livestock farming, agriculture, and fishing, as the input, compilation, and sharing of statistics on pathogen test results is not limited to humans.

[0040] Furthermore, instead of just positive and negative, it is also possible to input a score for the symptoms of the disease. Also, instead of + or -, the input score can be a numerical value such as 0, 1, or 2 to 10. For example, regarding COVID-19 after-effects, it is also possible to input headache 0-10, fatigue 0-10, and insomnia 0-10.

[0041] Furthermore, a screen for reporting the number of cases for the collaboration reinforcement surcharge (once a month, 3 points per person) can be displayed, allowing users to enter the amount of hand sanitizer used, the number of cases of infections of category 5 or higher, the number of detections of resistant bacteria such as MRSA, the number of times each type of antibiotic was prescribed, and the total number of prescriptions. If the above information is compiled monthly and reported to the medical association or core hospital once a quarter, 3 points for the "collaboration reinforcement surcharge (attached to the requested infection control reinforcement surcharge)" can be claimed once a month per patient.

[0042] The tally screen shown in Fig. 4 is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to the display in Fig. 4. Test result data such as that shown in Fig. 11 is accumulated in server 202, and graphs showing the number of positives in the last 7 days, the positive rate in the last 7 days, the number of positives in the last 30 days, and the positive rate in the last 30 days may be displayed as shown in Figs.

[0043] The present invention may also be applied to a system consisting of multiple devices or to a single device. Furthermore, the present invention may also be applied when an information processing program that realizes the functions of the embodiments is supplied to a system or device and executed by a built-in processor. The technical scope of the present invention also includes a program installed on a computer to realize the functions of the present invention, a medium storing the program, a server from which the program is downloaded, and a processor that executes the program. In particular, the technical scope of the present invention includes at least a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute the processing steps included in the above-described embodiments.
