Correction support system for cranial reshape correction helmets and correction support method for cranial reshape correction helmets

Abstract

This invention provides a correction support system and a correction support method for a cranial reshaping helmet that facilitate the use of correction results obtained using a cranial reshaping helmet in selecting the interior of the cranial reshaping helmet worn by a subject. [Solution] The correction support system 10 for a skull shape correction helmet stores a group of completion data D2 containing the completion data D21 to D2x of multiple completion subjects (1) to (x) who have completed the correction, and subject data D1 of the subject 100 who will undergo skull shape correction. The selection processing unit 21 selects predetermined completion data from the group of completion data D2 based on the subject data D1, and the interior data extraction unit 20 extracts predetermined interior data included in the interior data group D4 from the predetermined completion data. The display data generation unit 25 generates display information by performing predetermined processing on the extracted predetermined interior data.
