Summary of the Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, verification of a patient's condition has not been sufficiently performed. When a patient visits a hospital, a doctor typically conducts medical examinations and blood tests based on the doctor's own knowledge and experience. However, it is difficult to thoroughly disseminate the latest information regarding diseases outside the doctor's specialty or highly rare diseases, and optimal treatment or testing for such specific diseases may not be performed. As a result, even though the specific disease is an important disease, a diagnosis result of simply no abnormality may be communicated to the patient. Therefore, there is a demand for a technique that prevents oversight of important diseases, but conventional techniques including Patent Document 1 have not sufficiently met such a demand.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to implement a technique for preventing oversight of important diseases.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] To achieve the above object, an information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes: An information processing device that supports medical treatment based on a specified patient by presenting a medical action that should be considered, examined, or recommended for the specified patient, based on patient information which is information of the specified patient obtained from at least one of the electronic medical record of the specified patient and a terminal corresponding to the specified patient, comprises: an acquisition means for acquiring patient information of the specified patient; a generation means for generating information indicating a medical action that should be considered, examined, or recommended for the specified patient, based on the acquired patient information, as reference medical action information; and a notification means for notifying the reference medical action information.

[0007] Each of the information processing method and program according to one aspect of the present invention corresponds to the information processing apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention described above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a technology that prevents the oversight of important diseases. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This diagram shows an example of the service to which a server, which is an information processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention, is applied, and compares it with a conventional medical treatment flow. [Figure 2] Figure 1 shows an example of how reference medical procedure information applicable to this service is displayed on the patient's device. [Figure 3] This figure shows an example of the display of the patient list screen in one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] Figure 1 shows an example of how reference medical procedure information applied to this service is displayed. [Figure 5] Figure 1 shows an example of a detailed display of reference medical procedure information applicable to this service. [Figure 6] Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of an information processing system applied to the service described herein, that is, an information processing system including a server according to one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention. [Figure 7] Figure 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of a server according to one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention. [Figure 8] Figure 7 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a server according to one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention. [Figure 9] Figure 8 is a flowchart showing the processing flow in a server according to one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0011] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a medical information provision service (hereinafter referred to as "this service") to which a server, which is one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention, is applied. Figure 1 compares the conventional medical consultation flow with the medical consultation flow using this service. As shown in the upper part of Figure 1, in the conventional medical flow, no special notification is given to the patient upon their arrival at the clinic. Furthermore, during the examination and blood test stage, no tests related to disease X are performed; for example, only auscultation is conducted. As a result, at the stage of diagnosis and communication of test results, the doctor does not diagnose disease X, and simply states that there is no abnormality.

[0012] In contrast, in the medical flow according to the present invention, as shown in the lower part of Figure 1, when a patient comes to the hospital, the possibility of disease X is notified to the patient based on the patient information. At the stage of examination and blood tests, the possibility of disease and reference medical procedure information are presented to the medical provider D. Here, reference medical procedure information refers to information indicating a medical procedure that should be considered, examined, or recommended for the patient, such as the name of the possible disease, an outline of treatments that should be considered or recommended for the disease, additional tests that should be considered or recommended, and information such as the equipment necessary for treatments that should be considered or recommended. Based on this reference medical procedure information, tests related to disease X are performed. At the stage of diagnosis and notification of test results, the diagnosis of the disease is facilitated while considering the reference medical procedure information, a definitive diagnosis of disease X is made by the medical provider D, and this definitive diagnosis is notified to the patient P.

[0013] Figure 2 shows an example of how the reference medical procedure information applicable to this service (Figure 1) is displayed on the patient's terminal, although details will be explained later.

[0014] In this embodiment, patient information includes information from various sources. For example, it includes health information such as sleep duration, vital signs, blood glucose levels, steps taken, and physical measurements obtained from healthcare apps and Personal Health Record (PHR) apps on the patient's device. This information is accessed via a digital medical support application (hereinafter referred to as the "DigiSma app"). The data also includes information obtained from patient questionnaires collected outside of consultations, as well as browsing history of medical and health-related websites viewed by patients. This allows for an understanding of which parts of the body patients are generally concerned about and what their health interests are. Furthermore, as information on the healthcare provider D, big data of interest information and behavior information recorded in a membership-based web service participated in by general physicians (physicians who are service members) is also utilized. This web service provides drug information and information available for medical practice, and allows association of physicians' attributes with information such as access histories. These pieces of information are utilized for proposing more appropriate medical practices.

[0015] Figure 2 will be described in more detail. In the present embodiment, the health information displayed on the patient terminal 3 includes vital data such as the number of steps, heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep duration. These pieces of information are displayed in time series with a specified period. For example, in the example of Figure 2, the following information is displayed for the period from July 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023. · Number of steps: the daily number of steps is displayed as a bar graph, which shows that the total number of steps during the period is 16,560 steps. · Heart rate: it shows that the heart rate is 147 / 90, and has changed within a range with a maximum value of 112 and a minimum value of 20. · Blood pressure: the change in blood pressure values from June 26 to July 16 is displayed as a dot graph. · Sleep: the average sleep duration is 5.0 hours, and the daily sleep duration is displayed as a bar graph. These pieces of health information can be switched and displayed via tabs at the top of the screen: patient information, insurance, etc., medical inquiry, side effects, etc., vitals, test results, PHR. In addition, information such as medical history, medication information, and injury and disease names can also be displayed in the same manner. These pieces of information can be shared with the healthcare provider D, and are utilized as reference information during medical practice.

[0016] Figure 3 is a diagram showing a display example of a patient list screen in an embodiment of the present invention. As an example of the patient list screen, in the example of Figure 3, a screen including a patient list is displayed on the terminal of the healthcare provider D (for example, the healthcare provider terminal 2). On the patient list screen, patients P who may have a special disease are marked with an indicator. For example, in the patient list screen shown in Figure 3, there is a "Disease Information" column at the far right of the table. An indicator of a possible special disease is displayed at the far right of the table, consisting of the letter "i" inside a circle. Furthermore, reference medical procedure information is displayed. For example, in the example in Figure 3, information such as "Since the test value is above XX, there is a possibility of XX. 4 other items" is displayed. Additionally, the patient list screen displays a brief overview of the selected patient. This brief overview includes recommended tests and information about the possibility of disease. On the patient list screen, healthcare provider D displays either a reference medical procedure information display area or a marker indicating a possible special disease, and a screen containing detailed or simplified information about the reference medical procedure is displayed. For example, in the example in Figure 3, when the mouse pointer is hovered over the marker with the letter i inside a circle, a screen containing detailed or simplified information about the reference medical procedure may be displayed.

[0017] This reference medical information will also be displayed on patient P's terminal (for example, patient terminal 3, described later) as appropriate. In this case, it is determined whether or not patient P has viewed the reference medical procedure information. If it has not been viewed, an indicator to that effect is displayed on patient P's terminal (for example, patient terminal 3 described later). When patient P places the pointer over the display area of ​​the reference medical procedure information, detailed information or a summary of the reference medical procedure information is displayed on patient P's terminal (for example, patient terminal 3 described later). The presentation of this summary information may be performed before patient P visits a medical institution. For example, based on patient P's appointment information with the medical institution, the presentation of this summary information may be performed the day before patient P visits the medical institution, or before the visit on the day of the visit.

[0018] In this embodiment, the information obtained from the electronic medical record includes the following: Firstly, it includes disease name information. Based on whether or not a specific disease name is registered for the patient, reference medical procedure information is generated. Secondly, it includes drug information. When a specific drug is registered (prescribed) in the electronic medical record, related reference medical information is generated. Thirdly, it includes laboratory test results. For example, if the eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is less than 60, it suggests considering renal dysfunction, and based on blood pressure measurement results, it suggests considering hypertension. In short, it proposes appropriate medical actions based on laboratory results. Fourth, it includes basic patient information. For example, patients aged 50 and over are provided with information that takes into account their increased risk of shingles, and women in the catch-up generation for cervical cancer (the generation for which the government recommends vaccination at public expense) are provided with information about vaccination. Fifth, the information includes the chief complaint (information from the free-text field in the medical record where the patient's complaints are written) and findings. It is determined whether or not specific words are included, and the text is analyzed by an AI model. This AI model is trained to associate specific words with diseases, and can estimate the most likely disease from the described symptoms and findings.

[0019] In this embodiment, the reference medical procedure information includes the following information: Firstly, it includes information about the medications to be prescribed. Based on the patient's condition and symptoms, a suitable prescription for medications is suggested. For example, a prescription for narcotic analgesics, as described later, may be suggested. Secondly, it includes treatment information about symptoms related to past treatments. For example, if an opioid (a general term for narcotic analgesics mainly used to treat severe pain) has been prescribed within the last three months and "opioid-induced constipation" is suspected, but this is not registered as an effective diagnosis, then medications useful for opioid-induced constipation will be presented as options. Thirdly, it includes information about vaccines. If a patient is eligible for a specific vaccine (based on age, underlying medical conditions, etc.) but has no history of receiving that vaccine, information about vaccination will be presented.

[0020] In this embodiment, the notification of reference medical procedure information is performed based on the following control. Firstly, if there is a change in the treatment plan based on the information provided after viewing the information, the notification of that information will be stopped. This is because it means that the proposed medical procedure has been carried out. Secondly, if the treatment plan does not change after the patient has reviewed the information provided, the notification will continue to be sent at the next visit. This ensures that any unaddressed suggestions are reliably communicated. Thirdly, the frequency of notification of reference medical procedure information is controlled at a certain rate. Specifically, for example, it may be displayed at a frequency of 10%, or the number of displays may be determined based on the number of times it has been used in a certain period in the past. This is because if the display frequency is too high, healthcare providers and patients may become accustomed to it, and there is a risk that attention will not be paid to important information. By deliberately controlling the display frequency appropriately, the importance of the information being notified will stand out, and more reliable information transmission will be possible.

[0021] Figure 4 shows an example of how reference medical information applicable to this service in Figure 1 is displayed. Here, the possibility of disease based on test results and recommended test items are displayed in a table format. Here, we assume that patient P, Taro Yamada, may be suffering from a specific illness. Therefore, a symbol of the letter "i" inside a circle is displayed at the top of the table to indicate this possibility. A simplified special disease notification document indicating the possibility of such a condition is displayed. Alternatively, the simplified special disease notification document may be displayed by hovering the mouse pointer over or over the marker. A simplified notification document for special illnesses is a document that provides simplified information to inform patient P that they may have a special illness. In the example shown in Figure 4, a simplified notification document for special illnesses is displayed, which includes the information: "Since the test value is above XX, there is a possibility of XX. 4 other items."

[0022] Figure 5 shows an example of a detailed display of reference medical procedure information applicable to the service in Figure 1. The screen, which includes a detailed display of reference medical procedure information, shows the title of the special disease notification. In the example in Figure 5, a comment such as "There is XX that is desirable to evaluate" is presented. Furthermore, detailed reference medical procedure information such as "Because of XXXXXXX, it may be desirable to evaluate XXXXXX (Source: XXXXXXXX)" is displayed based on publicly available information such as guidelines. The relevant medical information is then formatted with bold text and underlining. Links to external medical information websites and images can also be inserted. Physicians using the healthcare provider terminal can disable the display of reference medical information using the disable button. This disabling can be done for the currently selected patient P only, or for all patient P at once.

[0023] Figure 6 shows an example configuration of an information processing system to which the service shown in Figure 1 is applied, i.e., an information processing system including a server of one embodiment of the information processing device of the present invention. The information processing system shown in Figure 6 is configured such that a server 1, a healthcare provider terminal 2, patient terminals 3-1 to 3-n, and an electronic medical record management device 4 are interconnected via a predetermined network N such as the Internet. In the following, when it is not necessary to distinguish between patient terminals 3-1 through 3-n individually, they will be collectively referred to as "patient terminal 3".

[0024] The healthcare provider terminal 2 is a terminal used by healthcare providers such as doctors, and is used for displaying reference medical procedure information and referring to patient information. Patient terminal 3 is a terminal used by patient P, and is used by patient P to view reference medical procedure information, etc. The electronic medical record management device 4 is a terminal that manages electronic medical records stored in a storage device (not shown), and sends and receives patient P's electronic medical record to and from server 1 in accordance with requests from server 1.

[0025] Figure 7 is a block diagram showing an example of the server hardware configuration in the information processing system shown in Figure 6.

[0026] Server 1 comprises a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input / output interface 15, an input unit 16, an output unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

[0027] The CPU 11 executes various processes according to the program recorded in the ROM 12 or the program loaded from the storage unit 18 into the RAM 13. RAM13 also stores data and other information necessary for the CPU11 to perform various processes.

[0028] The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are interconnected via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to this bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is connected to an input unit 16, an output unit 17, a storage unit 18, a communication unit 19, and a drive 20.

[0029] The input unit 16 is configured, for example, with a keyboard, and is used to input various types of information. The output unit 17 consists of a display such as an LCD and a speaker, and outputs various information as images and sounds. The memory unit 18 is composed of DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) and stores various types of data. The communication unit 19 communicates with other devices (for example, the healthcare provider terminal 2, patient terminals 3-1 to 3-n, and the electronic medical record management device 4 in Figure 6) via a network including the Internet.

[0030] The drive 20 is appropriately equipped with removable media 21, such as a magnetic disk, optical disk, magneto-optical disk, or semiconductor memory. Programs read from the removable media 21 by the drive 20 are installed in the storage unit 18 as needed. Furthermore, the removable media 21 can store various types of data stored in the storage unit 18, just as the storage unit 18 does.

[0031] Although not shown in the diagram, the healthcare provider terminal 2, patient terminals 3-1 to 3-n, and electronic medical record management device 4 in Figure 6 can also have a configuration that is basically the same as the hardware configuration shown in Figure 7. Therefore, a description of the hardware configuration of the healthcare provider terminal 2, patient terminals 3-1 to 3-n, and electronic medical record management device 4 will be omitted.

[0032] Through the collaboration of various hardware and software components of Server 1 as shown in Figure 7, various processes can be executed. As a result, the aforementioned medical information provision service can be provided.

[0033] Figure 8 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server in Figure 7. As shown in Figure 8, Server 1 transmits and receives electronic information to and from the healthcare provider terminal 2, patient terminal 3, and electronic medical record management device 4 via the communication unit 19. As shown in Figure 8, the memory unit 18 is equipped with a patient database 181 and a medical database 182. The patient database 181 stores information about patient P. The medical database 182 stores information about medical care. For example, medical information such as the relationship between diseases and symptoms or test results, and treatment methods is stored in the medical database 182. As shown in Figure 8, the CPU 11 of server 1 functions as follows: patient information acquisition unit 101, medical procedure information generation unit 102, and notification unit 103.

[0034] The patient information acquisition unit 101 acquires patient information from the electronic medical record of a designated patient P from the electronic medical record management device 4 and from the patient terminal 3. The medical procedure information generation unit 102 generates reference medical procedure information indicating at least one of the following medical procedures that should be considered, examined, or recommended for the designated patient P, based on the acquired patient information. For example, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 appropriately compares the patient information with the information stored in the patient DB 181 and updates the information stored in the patient DB 181 as appropriate. Then, using the information stored in the patient DB 181 and the information stored in the medical DB 182, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 generates patient reference medical procedure information in accordance with a predetermined algorithm, such as an algorithm that uses the results of machine learning (AI model). The notification unit 103 notifies at least one of the medical provider D and the designated patient P of the generated reference medical procedure information via at least one of the medical provider terminal 2 and the patient terminal 3. Specifically, for example, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 generates a special disease brief document as reference medical procedure information, as shown in Figure 5, based on the information obtained from the patient terminal 3 shown in Figure 3 and the information obtained from the electronic medical record shown in Figure 4. The notification unit 103 notifies the system by displaying the special disease brief document as a pop-up, as shown in Figure 5.

[0035] Here, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 determines, based on patient information, whether or not there is a possibility of a special disease for a designated patient P, and if the determination result is yes, it can generate reference medical procedure information including information on the possibility of a special disease. Specifically, for example, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 generates information indicating a possible special disease, such as "Since the test value is above XX, there is a possibility of XX. 4 other items." (Figure 3)

[0036] The notification unit 103 notifies the designated patient P of reference medical procedure information, including information on the possibility of a special disease, and then determines whether the designated patient has viewed the reference medical procedure information. If the determination is that the patient has not viewed the information, it notifies the designated patient P of information encouraging them to view it. Specifically, for example, as shown on the far right of Figure 3, there is a section that indicates the viewing status. The notification unit 103 displays the viewing status for healthcare provider D and patient P. In the example in Figure 3, disease information indicating reference medical procedure information is provided. The existence of reference medical procedure information is presented to patients Okumura Taketoshi and Fukui Isao. The notification unit 103 indicates that healthcare provider D has completed viewing all of the reference medical procedure information by displaying "Complete". The notification unit 103 indicates that patient Okamura Taketoshi has completed viewing, but Fukui Isao has not yet viewed the information by displaying "Not yet viewed". The notification unit 103 then notifies Fukui Isao, who has been determined to be not yet viewed the information, of a request to view it.

[0037] Figure 9 is a flowchart showing the processing flow in a server with the functional configuration shown in Figure 7. In step S101, the patient information acquisition unit 101 acquires patient information from the electronic medical record of a designated patient P from the electronic medical record management device 4 and from the patient terminal 3. In step S102, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 analyzes the acquired patient information. The medical procedure information generation unit 102 takes into account the information from the patient DB 181 and medical DB 182 shown in Figure 8, and performs the analysis according to a predetermined algorithm based on the results of machine learning and other factors. In step S103, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 determines, based on the analysis results, whether or not there is a possibility of a special disease in the designated patient P. In step S104, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 determines whether or not there is a possibility of a special disease. If it is determined that there is no possibility of a specific disease (Step S104: NO), the process ends. If it is determined that there is a possibility of a special disease (Step S104: Yes), the process proceeds to Step S105. In Step S105, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 generates reference medical procedure information, including information about that disease. In step S106, the notification unit 103 notifies at least one of the medical provider D and the designated patient P of the reference medical procedure information generated in step S105 via at least one of the medical provider terminal 2 and the patient terminal 3. In step S107, the notification unit 103 determines whether or not the reference medical procedure information has been viewed. If it is determined that at least one of the medical provider D and patient P has not viewed the information (step S107: No), the process returns to step S106, and the notification unit 103 notifies at least one of the medical provider D and the designated patient P via at least one of the medical provider terminal 2 and patient terminal 3 that the information should be viewed. For example, if it is determined that all of the information has been viewed in step S107, the process terminates.

[0038] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and any modifications, improvements, etc. that can achieve the objectives of the present invention are considered to be included in the present invention.

[0039] For example, the system configuration shown in Figure 6 and the hardware configuration of Server 1 shown in Figure 7 are merely illustrative examples for achieving the objectives of the present invention and are not particularly limiting.

[0040] Furthermore, the functional block diagram shown in Figure 8 is merely illustrative and not particularly limiting. In other words, it is sufficient that the information processing system in Figure 6 has the functionality to execute the series of processes described above as a whole, and the functional blocks and databases used to realize this functionality are not particularly limited to the example in Figure 8.

[0041] Furthermore, the location of the functional blocks is not limited to Figure 8, but can be any location. For example, at least some of the functional blocks located on the server 1 side may be provided by other information processing devices.

[0042] Furthermore, the series of processes described above can be executed by hardware or by software. Furthermore, a single functional block may consist of hardware alone, software alone, or a combination of both.

[0043] When a series of processes are executed by software, the programs that make up that software are installed on a computer or other device from a network or storage medium. The computer may be a computer that is built into dedicated hardware. Furthermore, a computer can be any computer capable of performing various functions by installing various programs, such as a server, a general-purpose smartphone, or a personal computer.

[0044] Such recording media containing programs may consist not only of removable media (not shown) distributed separately from the main unit of the device to provide the program to the user, but also of recording media provided to the user in a state where they are pre-installed in the main unit of the device.

[0045] In this specification, the step of describing a program to be recorded on a recording medium includes not only processes that are performed chronologically in that order, but also processes that are not necessarily performed chronologically, but are executed in parallel or individually.

[0046] In summary, the information processing apparatus and information processing system to which the present invention applies only need to have the following configuration, and various embodiments can be taken.

[0047] The information processing device (for example, Server 1 in Figure 6) presents a medical action (for example, "Prescription of Metalcaptase Capsules 50mg in Figure 4") that should be considered, examined, or recommended for a designated patient (for example, "Suspected Disease X" as shown in Figure 1) based on patient information (for example, "Suspected Disease X" as shown in Figure 1) obtained from at least one of the electronic medical record of a designated patient (for example, Patient P in Figure 1) and a terminal corresponding to the designated patient, and supports medical treatment based on said medical action. A means for acquiring patient information of a designated patient (for example, the patient information acquisition unit 101 in Figure 8), Based on the acquired patient information, a generation means (for example, the medical procedure information generation unit 102 in Figure 8) generates information indicating at least one of the following medical procedures that should be considered, examined, and recommended for the designated patient, as reference medical procedure information, A notification means for notifying the aforementioned reference medical procedure information (for example, the notification unit 103 in Figure 8), It is equipped with. This helps prevent overlooking important diseases. The utilization of patient information and the accumulation of clinical results further enhances the effectiveness of disease detection prevention.

[0048] Furthermore, in the information processing device, the generation means determines, based on the patient information, whether or not there is a possibility of a special disease for the predetermined patient, and if the determination result is yes, it generates the reference medical procedure information including the possibility of a special disease (for example, the notation "Because of XXXXXXX, it may be desirable to evaluate XXXXXX." in Figure 5). This ensures that the possibility of a specific disease is communicated more concretely and reliably to the doctor or patient.

[0049] Furthermore, in information processing equipment, The aforementioned notification means is, After informing the designated patient of the reference medical information, including the information regarding the possibility of the special disease, Determine whether the designated patient has viewed the relevant medical information. If the determination is that the information has not been viewed, the designated patient will be notified of a message encouraging them to view the information. This reduces the possibility that doctors or patients may not be aware of or recognize the possibility of a specific disease.

[0050] Furthermore, in the information processing device, the notification means notifies the reference medical procedure information to at least one of the terminals owned by the patient and the terminal of the medical provider from whom the patient is seeking treatment. This increases the likelihood that at least one of the patients or healthcare providers will be able to obtain reference medical information and receive or provide recommended medical treatment.
