Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a medical information management system, a medical information management program, and a medical information management method. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a medical information management system that manages biological information of patients (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] The system described in Patent Document 1 includes a measuring device, a terminal device, and a server device, and the measuring device measures the blood glucose level of a patient. Then, in the measuring device, the measurement data with a device ID added thereto is converted into a barcode, and the barcode is displayed on the display unit of the measuring device. Then, the barcode is photographed by the imaging unit of the terminal device. The terminal device generates measurement data to be transmitted based on the barcode, and transmits the measurement data to be transmitted to the server device. This enables the server device to obtain measurement data of the patient's blood glucose level (biometric information) from a measuring device located away from the server device. Also, the server device can identify the measuring device that measured the measurement data based on the device ID. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4814787 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the system described in Patent Document 1, in order to identify the measuring device, the measuring device must be provided with a function of adding a device ID to the measurement data, a function of converting the data with the device ID added to the measurement data into a barcode, and a function of displaying the barcode. Therefore, in order to manage medical information including biological information in a medical information management system, the above conventional configuration has the disadvantage that the configuration of the measuring device for measuring the biological information becomes complicated. In particular, when a measuring device is provided for each patient, it becomes necessary to complicate the configuration of each of the multiple measuring devices. Therefore, there is a demand for a medical information management system, a medical information management program, and a medical information management method that do not require the configuration of the measuring device (measuring instrument) to be complicated even when managing medical information including biological information in the medical information management system.

[0006] The object of the present disclosure is to provide a medical information management system, a medical information management program, and a medical information management method that are capable of identifying the type of measuring device without complicating the configuration of the measuring device and that are capable of managing medical information including biometric information. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, a medical information management system according to a first aspect of the present disclosure comprises a server device that manages medical information including measurement results of biometric information of a plurality of patients, an information terminal including a biometric information acquisition unit that acquires measurement results measured by a measuring device that measures specific biometric information of the patient and an imaging unit that photographs the shape of the measuring device, a measurement device discrimination unit that discriminates the type of measuring device based on an image of the shape of the measuring device photographed by the imaging unit, and a communication unit that transmits the measurement results of the biometric information to the server device in a state in which the measurement results are associated with the type of measuring device discriminated by the measurement device discrimination unit, and the server device receives the measurement results of the biometric information transmitted from the communication unit and stores the measurement results.

[0008] The medical information management program of the second aspect causes a processor of an information terminal that communicates with a server device that manages medical information including measurement results of the biometric information of multiple patients to perform the following processes: acquiring measurement results measured by a measuring device that measures specific biometric information of a patient; photographing the shape of the measuring device; determining the type of measuring device based on the photographed image of the shape of the measuring device; and transmitting the measurement results of the biometric information to the server device in a state where they are associated with the determined type of measuring device.

[0009] A medical information management method according to a third aspect includes the steps of acquiring measurement results measured by a measuring device that measures specific biometric information of a patient, photographing the shape of the measuring device, determining the type of measuring device based on the photographed image of the shape of the measuring device, and storing the measurement results of the biometric information in a server device that manages medical information including the measurement results of the biometric information of multiple patients, in a state in which the measurement results are associated with the determined type of measuring device. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the configurations of the first to third aspects, the type of measuring device can be identified based on the captured image of the shape of the measuring device. As a result, it is possible to identify the type of measuring device without complicating the configuration of the measuring device, and it is possible to manage medical information including biological information.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described based on the drawings. Note that the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and appropriate design changes can be made within the scope of the configuration of the present disclosure. In addition, in the following description, the same parts or parts having similar functions are commonly used with the same reference numerals in different drawings, and repeated description thereof will be omitted. In addition, each configuration described in the embodiment and the modified example may be appropriately combined or modified. In addition, in order to make the description easier to understand, in the drawings referred to below, the configuration is shown simplified or schematic, and some components are omitted.

[0013] [Overview of the first embodiment] 1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining an outline of the configuration of a medical information management system 100 (hereinafter referred to as "system 100") according to a first embodiment.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, the system 100 is a system for managing medical information, and is a system for exchanging medical information with an electronic medical record server device 101. For example, the system 100 may be provided for each hospital, or for each of a plurality of hospitals (hospital groups). Here, the "medical information" includes the measurement results of the biological information of a plurality of patients who are visiting or hospitalized at the hospital that owns the system 100, and the treatment order information from the electronic medical record server device 101. The "biological information" is so-called vital information, and in particular, information that a patient can measure by himself using a measuring device, and information measured by a measuring device installed at the bedside of a hospitalized patient. The biological information includes, for example, but is not limited to, body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, blood glucose level, and SpO2 (oxygen saturation of arterial blood).

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, a thermometer 10a is used to measure body temperature. A blood pressure monitor 10b is used to measure blood pressure and pulse rate. A blood glucose measuring device 10c is used to measure blood glucose levels. A pulse oximeter 10d is used to measure SpO2. In the following description, when there is no need to distinguish between the thermometer 10a, the blood pressure monitor 10b, the blood glucose measuring device 10c, and the pulse oximeter 10d, they will be described as "measuring devices 10."

[0016] The system 100 includes a medical information management server device 20 (hereinafter referred to as the "server device 20") and a plurality of information terminals 30. The server device 20 has a medical information database 22a (see FIG. 4) that is a database of medical information including biological information and treatment orders for each patient. The server device 20 may be configured as a so-called on-premise server arranged in a hospital facility, or may be configured as a virtual server (cloud server) configured on a cloud consisting of a group of multiple servers. The information terminal 30 is an information terminal used by medical staff such as nurses, nursing assistants, technicians, and doctors, or by patients. For example, the information terminal 30 may be an information terminal 30 carried (carried) by medical staff or patients, or may be an information terminal placed (stationary) near the patient's bedside or a patient chair in a consultation room. The information terminal 30 has a function of acquiring the measurement result of the biological information from the measuring device 10 and transmitting the acquired measurement result of the biological information to the server device 20. The server device 20 converts the data format of the measurement results of the biological information into a format that can be stored in the electronic medical record server device 101. For example, the server device 20 converts the data format of the measurement results of the biological information into a data format that complies with a standard (e.g., HL7 FHIR).

[0017] (Measurement of biological information in medical institutions) As shown in FIG. 1, when the information terminal 30 is used in a medical institution or during home nursing, for example, (1) a nurse who owns the information terminal 30 uses the camera 35 of the information terminal 30 to have the information terminal 30 read the staff ID (e.g., QR code (registered trademark)), which is the nurse's own ID. Then, (2) the camera 35 of the information terminal 30 is used to have the information terminal 30 read the patient ID (e.g., QR code) of the patient to be measured. Here, the patient ID is, for example, identification information for identifying the patient given by the medical institution where the patient is hospitalized or visits. Also, the staff ID is, for example, identification information for identifying the medical staff at the medical institution. The patient ID and the staff ID are managed as common identification information in the server device 20 and the electronic medical record server device 101, for example. Also, although an example of using a QR code has been shown above, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, the characters and symbols of the patient ID and the staff ID may be read by the camera 35, or the barcode may be read by a barcode reading sensor (optical sensor). The server device 20 may also be provided with an authentication database in which biometric authentication information such as face recognition, voice recognition, fingerprint patterns, and vein patterns of a part of the body of the patient or the person in charge is stored in association with a patient ID or a person in charge ID. In this case, the biometric authentication information of the patient or the person in charge may be acquired by the information terminal 30, and the patient ID or the person in charge ID may be acquired by referring to the authentication database based on the biometric authentication information.

[0018] Then, the patient's biological information is measured by the measuring device 10, and the measurement result is acquired by the measuring device 10. One or more types of measurement results are displayed on the display unit 13 of the measuring device 10. Then, (3) the nurse photographs the display unit 13 of the measuring device 10 and the shape of the measuring device 10 using the camera 35 of the information terminal 30. (4) The information terminal 30 reads the measurement result of the biological information from the image of the display unit 13 of the measuring device 10, and (5) determines the type (model) of the measuring device 10 from the image of the shape of the measuring device 10. The information terminal 30 acquires, for example, information on "body temperature 36.5°C" as the measurement result of the biological information. Note that, although the example of FIG. 1 shows an example of acquiring one measurement result, the present disclosure is not limited to this. That is, when multiple types of measurement results are simultaneously displayed on the display unit 13 of the measuring device 10, the multiple types of measurement results may be simultaneously acquired as the measurement result of the biological information. For example, the information terminal 30 determines that the type of the measuring device 10 is a thermometer 10a based on the captured image. Preferably, information terminal 30 identifies the model of thermometer 10a (e.g., "ABC-10") based on the captured image. Note that, as will be described later in the modified example shown in Fig. 25, the type of measuring instrument 10 may be identified not by information terminal 30 but by server device 20 or image recognition service server device 440 on-premise within the hospital or on cloud.

[0019] Thereafter, the information terminal 30 associates the measurement result of the biological information (information of "body temperature 36.5°C") with the person in charge ID, the patient ID, and the type (thermometer 10a) and model (ABC-10) of the measuring device 10, and transmits the result to the server device 20. As will be described later in the modified example shown in FIG. 25, the information associating the measurement result of the biological information with the person in charge ID, the patient ID, and the type and model of the measuring device 10 is not limited to being transmitted from the information terminal 30 to the server device 20, but may be transmitted from the image recognition service server device 440 to the server device 20. The server device 20 then stores the measurement result of the biological information in the medical information database 22a, converts the measurement result of the biological information into a predetermined data format, and transmits it to the electronic medical record server device 101. The electronic medical record server device 101 stores (registers) the measurement result of the biological information received in the electronic medical record. The electronic medical record server device 101 is configured to be accessible by terminals (not shown) in the hospital carried by doctors and nurses, and the measurement result of the biological information is viewed by doctors and nurses at the terminals in the hospital. Then, using a terminal in the hospital, the doctor registers the treatment order in the electronic medical record server device 101. Furthermore, information on the registered treatment order is transmitted from the electronic medical record server device 101 to the information terminal 30 via the medical information management server device 20. Then, the nurse performs treatment on the patient based on the information on the treatment order displayed on the information terminal 30.

[0020] (Measurement of vital signs by patients themselves) When the patient measures the biological information at home, the step (1) in FIG. 1 is omitted. That is, the patient (2) uses the camera 35 of the information terminal 30 to have the information terminal 30 read the patient ID (e.g., a QR code) of the patient to be measured. Then, the patient's biological information is measured by the meter 10, and the measurement results are acquired by the meter 10. The measurement results are displayed on the display unit 13 of the meter 10. Then, (3) the patient uses the camera 35 of the information terminal 30 to photograph the display unit 13 of the meter 10 and the shape of the meter 10. (4) The information terminal 30 reads the measurement results of the biological information from the image of the display unit 13 of the meter 10, and (5) determines the type (model) of the meter 10 from the image of the shape of the meter 10. The information terminal 30 acquires, for example, information such as "blood glucose level 123 mg / dL" as the measurement result of the biological information. Furthermore, the information terminal 30 determines that the type of the meter 10 is blood glucose meter 10c. Preferably, the information terminal 30 identifies the model of the blood glucose measuring device 10c.

[0021] Thereafter, (6) the information terminal 30 associates the biological information measurement result (information "blood glucose level 123 mg / dL") with the patient ID and information on the type and model of the measuring device 10, and transmits the result to the server device 20. The server device 20 stores the biological information measurement result in the medical information database 22a, and converts the biological information measurement result into a predetermined data format and transmits it to the electronic medical record server device 101.

[0022] According to the above configuration, the type of measuring device 10 can be identified based on the captured image of the shape of measuring device 10. As a result, the type of measuring device 10 can be identified without complicating the configuration of measuring device 10, and medical information including biological information can be managed. Furthermore, since server device 20 can acquire the measurement results of biological information associated with a patient ID, the patient corresponding to the measurement results can be easily identified based on the patient ID. Furthermore, server device 20 can acquire the measurement results of biological information associated with a person in charge ID. As a result, the person in charge (medical staff) who performed the measurement can be easily identified based on the person in charge ID. Since the measurement results are read from the captured image, the workload of the operator (medical staff or patient) can be reduced compared to the case where the measurement results are manually input into information terminal 30. Furthermore, unlike the case where communication unit 214 is provided in measuring device 210 and measurement results are acquired from measuring device 210 through communication as in the second embodiment, the workload of the operator can be reduced while simplifying the configuration of measuring device 10.

[0023] [Medical information management system configuration] As shown in Fig. 2, the system 100 includes a server device 20 and a plurality of information terminals 30. The server device 20 and each of the plurality of information terminals 30 are capable of communicating with each other via a network N. The server device 20 and the electronic medical record server device 101 are also capable of communicating with each other via the network N. As the network N, a local area network (LAN) can be used within the hospital (within the hospital facility), and the Internet can be used for communication with the outside of the hospital (outside the facility).

[0024] (Measuring instrument configuration) FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of measuring device 10. Measuring device 10 has the function of detecting biological information of a patient. Measuring device 10 includes a control unit 11, a sensor unit 12, and a display unit 13. Control unit 11 includes a control circuit that performs control processing of measuring device 10. Sensor unit 12 has the function of converting biological information into an electrical signal. For example, sensor unit 12 is a temperature sensor when measuring device 10 is a thermometer 10a, a cuff when measuring device 10 is a blood pressure monitor 10b, an electrode when measuring device 10 is a blood glucose measuring device 10c, and a light source and a light sensor when measuring device 10 is a pulse oximeter 10d. Display unit 13 displays the measurement results detected by sensor unit 12.

[0025] (Server device configuration) Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the server device 20. As shown in Fig. 4, the server device 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a communication unit 23. The control unit 21 is configured to execute each control process in the server device 20. The control unit 21 includes a processor that executes a program to execute the control process. The communication unit 23 is a communication interface that is configured to be able to be connected to the network N wirelessly or via a wire. A medical information database 22a is built in the storage unit 22.

[0026] FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the medical information database 22a. The medical information database 22a stores information in which a patient ID, a measurement result of biological information, and a person in charge ID are associated with each other. For example, as medical information of a patient with a patient ID of "0001", the measurement result of biological information (body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, blood glucose level, and SpO2) measured so far, the person in charge ID of the nurse or nursing assistant who performed the measurement, information on the type and model of the measuring device 10 that performed the measurement, and the measurement date and time are associated with each other. The medical information database 22a also includes information in which a patient ID and a treatment order are associated with each other. The "treatment order" includes not only so-called treatment orders, but also prescriptions and orders for injections and infusions. The "treatment order" indicates, for example, the date and time of the next measurement of a specific biological information, the treatment content, and the treatment date and time, and the information of the treatment order is data in which at least a part of the patient ID, the person in charge ID, and the doctor ID who registered the treatment order are associated with each other, as shown in FIG. 5. The treatment order may also include setting information for the infusion pump 40 (see FIG. 2). The infusion pump 40 is a device for controlling the flow rate and shared amount of medicine when the medicine is infused into a patient.

[0027] When the server device 20 receives the measurement results of the vital sign from the information terminal 30, it stores (updates) the received measurement results of the vital sign in the medical information database 22a and transmits (registers) them to the electronic medical record server device 101.

[0028] (Information terminal configuration) 6 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the information terminal 30. The information terminal 30 is a terminal for transmitting the measurement results of the vital information to the server device 20 by communicating with the server device 20. When the information terminal 30 is used by a medical staff member such as a nurse, it also functions as a terminal that allows the medical staff member to confirm the treatment order by acquiring a treatment order from the server device 20 and displaying the treatment order. For example, a nurse uses the information terminal 30 to record (register) the measurement results of the vital information of a patient under his / her care in the server device 20 and the electronic medical record server device 101. The nurse uses the information terminal 30 to confirm the treatment order and perform treatment (medical procedure or examination) according to the treatment order.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 6, the information terminal 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, a communication unit 33, a touch panel 34, and a camera 35. The control unit 31 is configured to execute each control process in the information terminal 30. The control unit 31 includes a processor that executes a program to execute the control process. The communication unit 33 is a communication interface configured to be able to connect to the network N wirelessly or via a wire. The storage unit 32 stores meter identification information 32a used to identify the measuring device 10. The touch panel 34 is configured to display text information, images, and videos based on a command from the control unit 31, and to accept touch operations from an operator (a person in charge or a patient). The camera 35 is configured to capture any image based on an operation by the operator. The camera 35 is configured to store the captured image in the storage unit 32. Note that, while FIG. 6 shows an example in which the meter identification information 32a is stored in the memory unit 32 of the information terminal 30, this is not limited to this example, and in the present disclosure, the meter identification information 32a may be stored in the server device 20, and the information terminal 30 may be configured to be able to access the meter identification information 32a of the server device 20.

[0030] FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the measuring device discrimination information 32a. The measuring device discrimination information 32a stores the model name of the measuring device 10, morphological pattern information, which is information on the pattern of the shape of the measuring device 10, and the normal value range, in association with one another. The "morphological pattern information" is information on a characteristic shape that can identify (distinguish) the type and model of the measuring device 10 from among the images of the measuring device 10 that serve as a sample. For example, in the case of the thermometer 10a, the external shape of the thermometer 10a, character information (such as model number) written on the case of the thermometer 10a, the overall dimensions of the thermometer 10a (longitudinal dimensions in FIG. 7), the color of the thermometer 10a, and the dimensions and shape of the display unit 13 of the thermometer 10a can be used as the morphological pattern information, but is not limited to this example. In addition, the "shape" may include not only the shape of the main body of the measuring device 10, but also the pattern and written content of an identification sticker attached to the measuring device 10, for example. The "normal value range" is the range of measurement results that can be obtained when measuring device 10 is normally used (specification measurement range), and in the case of thermometer 10a, it is, for example, 32.0 degrees to 42.0 degrees. That is, if the measurement result of thermometer 10a is a value less than 32 degrees or more than 42 degrees, an abnormality is detected by information terminal 30. Note that the method of detecting an "abnormality" is not limited to this example. For example, a method may be adopted in which the probability of an abnormal measurement is calculated based on a machine learning model and / or statistical analysis based on actual past data collected for each measuring device 10, and an abnormality is determined if the calculated probability is equal to or less than a certain probability.

[0031] 8 is a functional block diagram of the control unit 31. The control unit 31 functions as a biometric information acquisition unit 31a, a patient identification unit 31b, a person in charge identification unit 31c, a measuring device discrimination unit 31d, a display control unit 31e, a notification control unit 31f, and a communication control unit 31g. The functions of the biometric information acquisition unit 31a, the patient identification unit 31b, the person in charge identification unit 31c, the measuring device discrimination unit 31d, the display control unit 31e, the notification control unit 31f, and the communication control unit 31g may be realized by one piece of hardware, or the functions may be realized by a plurality of pieces of hardware configured separately from each other. The display control unit 31e has a function of displaying the screens shown in FIG. 9A to FIG. 16 on the touch panel 34.

[0032] 9A and 9B are examples of screens displayed on the touch panel 34 for acquiring a staff ID. The staff identification unit 31c has a function of acquiring a staff ID, which is identification information of a staff member (such as a nurse) in charge of measurement. Specifically, the staff identification unit 31c acquires a staff ID based on an image of a QR code captured by the camera 35. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when an application related to medical information management is started on the information terminal 30, a screen for the medical staff to log in is displayed on the touch panel 34. On this screen, for example, a message saying "Please read your staff ID with the camera" and an icon image of "Read with camera" are displayed on the touch panel 34.

[0033] Then, when the icon image on the touch panel 34 is touched by the medical staff, the camera 35 of the information terminal 30 is activated and the staff ID is read, as shown in Fig. 9B. For example, when a QR code is displayed as shown in Fig. 9B, the staff ID included in the QR code is extracted by the staff identification unit 31c. The extracted staff ID may be displayed on the touch panel 34 as shown in Fig. 9B. Furthermore, when the patient operates the information terminal 30 himself, rather than the medical staff, the patient ID may be acquired instead of the staff ID.

[0034] 10 is an example of a menu screen displayed on the touch panel 34 after the person in charge ID has been acquired and logged in. On the touch panel 34, an icon image for selecting "measurement of biological information" and an icon image for performing functions other than the measurement of biological information (for example, a function for confirming a processing order) are displayed.

[0035] 11A and 11B are examples of screens displayed on the touch panel 34 for acquiring a patient ID. The patient identification unit 31b has a function of acquiring patient identification information, which is identification information of the patient to be measured. Specifically, the patient identification unit 31b acquires the patient ID based on an image of a QR code captured by the camera 35. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the medical staff (person in charge) selects "measurement of biological information" on the information terminal 30, a screen for acquiring the patient ID is displayed on the touch panel 34, as shown in FIG. 11A. On this screen, for example, a message saying "Please read the patient ID of the person to be measured with the camera" and an icon image of "read with camera" are displayed on the touch panel 34.

[0036] Then, when the icon image on the touch panel 34 is touched by the medical staff, the camera 35 of the information terminal 30 is activated and the patient ID is read, as shown in Fig. 11B. For example, when a QR code is displayed as shown in Fig. 11B, the patient ID included in the QR code is extracted by the patient identification unit 31b. The extracted patient ID may be displayed on the touch panel 34 as shown in Fig. 11B.

[0037] Fig. 12 shows an example of a screen displayed on touch panel 34 when starting measurement of biological information. For example, when the "Proceed" icon image is operated on the screen shown in Fig. 11B, the screen shown in Fig. 12 is displayed. For example, patient information (name, date of birth, sex, etc.) and the name and ID of the person in charge are displayed on touch panel 34. Additionally, touch panel 34 displays measurement results that have already been measured (none have been measured in the example of Fig. 12), an icon image of "Read measurement results and measuring device with camera", and an icon image of "Send to server".

[0038] Fig. 13 is an example of a screen that is displayed on touch panel 34 when photographing measuring device 10. When medical staff operates the icon image of "Read measurement results and measuring device with camera," a screen for photographing the measuring device is displayed on touch panel 34, as shown in Fig. 13. On this screen, an icon image for "photographing" is displayed as shown in Fig. 13, and photographing (capturing a still image) may be performed based on a touch operation on this icon image, or photographing (capturing a still image) may be performed when measuring device 10 is identified based on measuring device identification information 32a, regardless of the operation on this icon image.

[0039] The biometric information acquisition unit 31a has a function of acquiring the measurement results measured by the measuring device 10. Specifically, the biometric information acquisition unit 31a has a function of extracting the measurement results from the image of the display unit 13 of the measuring device 10 captured by the camera 35. For example, the biometric information acquisition unit 31a may have an optical character recognition (OCR) function that extracts text information (measurement results) from the image. In the example of FIG. 13, the display unit 13 of the measuring device 10 displays "123 mg / dL" as the measurement result, and the biometric information acquisition unit 31a acquires (recognizes) the text information of "123 mg / dL" as the measurement result of the biometric information. In addition to the measurement result of the biometric information, the biometric information acquisition unit 31a also acquires information on the measurement date and time (in the example of FIG. 13, "9:30 a.m. on October 3, 2020") and information on the measurement conditions (in the example of FIG. 13, "before a meal"). The measurement result is displayed on the touch panel 34 as shown in FIG. 14A.

[0040] The measuring device discrimination unit 31d has a function of discriminating the type and model of the measuring device 10 based on an image of the shape of the measuring device 10 captured by the camera 35. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the appearance (shape) of the measuring device 10 is captured by the camera 35. The measuring device discrimination unit 31d discriminates the type and model of the measuring device 10 by pattern matching the captured image of the measuring device 10 with the shape pattern information of the measuring device discrimination information 32a. In detail, the measuring device discrimination unit 31d judges which pattern of the shape pattern information is included in the captured image of the measuring device 10. The measuring device discrimination unit 31d also estimates the dimensions of the measuring device 10 in the captured image of the measuring device 10, and identifies the measuring device with the closest dimensions in the shape pattern information. In this way, the measuring device discrimination unit 31d discriminates the type, and preferably the model, of the measuring device 10. For example, in the example of Fig. 13, the meter discrimination unit 31d discriminates that the type of the photographed meter 10 is a blood glucose meter 10c and the model is "G1772."The discriminated type (model name) and model of the meter 10 and the measurement results are then displayed side by side on the touch panel 34, as shown in Fig. 14A.

[0041] FIG. 14B is a diagram for explaining a screen that notifies that accurate information could not be read from the captured image (read error), and this screen is displayed on touch panel 34. Notification control unit 31f refers to measuring device discrimination information 32b and displays a read error when the measurement result is outside the normal measurement range of the discriminated measuring device 10. For example, if dirt or the like is attached to display unit 13 of thermometer 10a and biological information acquisition unit 31a reads the measurement result as "136.5 degrees" instead of the correct display of "36.5 degrees", notification control unit 31f displays an abnormality on touch panel 34. Then, a message "Read error. Please retake the image" is displayed on touch panel 34. With this configuration, if the discrimination of measuring device 10 is incorrect or the reading or input of the measurement result is incorrect, the operator (medical staff) can recognize that there is an abnormality. As a result, the operator can manage the correct measurement results of biological information by redoing the photographing with measuring device 10 or re-reading or re-inputting the measurement results.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 15A, the screen displayed on the touch panel 34 displays the measurement results for the items of biological information for which the measurement has been completed. For example, when all measurements of body temperature, blood pressure, pulse, SpO2, and blood glucose have been completed, the measurement results of each biological information are displayed in a list on the touch panel 34 as shown in FIG. 15B. According to this configuration, the measurement results of biological information measured by multiple measuring devices 10 can be displayed in a list, so that when measurements are performed using multiple measuring devices 10, the operator can easily check the measurement results. In addition, when the icon image of "Send to server" displayed on the touch panel 34 is operated by the medical staff or the patient, the communication control unit 31g transmits information in which the measurement results, the type and model of the measuring device, the patient ID, and the person in charge ID are associated with each other from the information terminal 30 to the server device 20. The server device 20 stores the received information in the medical information database 22a and registers it in the electronic medical record server device 101.

[0043] FIG. 16 is an example of a confirmation screen of a treatment order displayed on the touch panel 34. The control unit 31 has a function of comparing the information of the treatment order with the setting information in the image captured by the camera 35, and displaying the comparison result on the touch panel 34 as shown in FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B. For example, as shown in FIG. 16A, the contents of the treatment order and an icon image of "Read setting information with camera" are displayed on the touch panel 34, and when the icon image is operated, the photographing screen of FIG. 16B is displayed. Then, after the device (infusion pump 40 in the example of FIG. 16B) for which the setting information is to be confirmed is photographed, the control unit 31 reads the setting information from the photographed image and compares the read setting information with the information of the treatment order. Then, as shown in FIG. 17A, if the read setting information matches the information of the treatment order, a message such as "Matching is completed. Please start infusion" is displayed. 17B, ​​if the read setting information does not match the treatment order information, a message such as "Does not match the order. Please redo the setting" is displayed. If the information terminal 30 is provided with a speaker, a sound (warning sound) may be output in addition to the above display when the read setting information does not match the treatment order information.

[0044] [Medical information management method] Next, a medical information management method according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 18 and Fig. 19. Specifically, a control method in the medical information management system 100 will be described. Fig. 18 and Fig. 19 are flowcharts in the information terminal 30 of the medical information management system 100. Moreover, the control process in Fig. 18 and Fig. 19 is executed by the control unit 31.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 18, in step S1, an application is started on the information terminal 30 based on an operation by an operator (a person in charge or a patient). Then, in step S2, a person in charge ID is read. For example, the camera 35 is started and a QR code is photographed, thereby reading the person in charge ID contained in the QR code. Note that in step S2, if the patient himself operates the information terminal 30, the patient ID may be read instead of the person in charge ID. In step S3, the information terminal 30 is logged in to a function related to the medical information management system 100, and a menu screen (see FIG. 10) is displayed.

[0046] In step S4, it is determined whether or not the icon image of "measurement of biological information" is selected by the operator on the menu screen. If the icon image of "measurement of biological information" is selected by the operator, the process proceeds to step S5. If the icon image of "measurement of biological information" is not selected by the operator, the process proceeds to step S20.

[0047] In step S5, the patient ID is read. For example, camera 35 is started and photographs the QR code, thereby reading the patient ID contained in the QR code. Then, in step S6, it is determined whether or not the icon image of "Read measurement results and measuring device with camera" displayed on touch panel 34 (see FIG. 12) has been selected by the operator. If the icon image of "Read measurement results and measuring device with camera" has been selected by the operator, the process proceeds to step S7; if the icon image of "Read measurement results and measuring device with camera" has not been selected by the operator, the process proceeds to step S10.

[0048] In step S7, an image of the measuring device 10 is captured. Then, in step S8, the measurement results of the biological information are obtained based on the captured image. Then, in step S9, the measuring device 10 is identified. For example, the type and model of the measuring device 10 is identified by performing pattern matching between the captured image and the measuring device identification information 32a.

[0049] In step S10, it is determined whether the measurement result is outside the normal measurement range. If the measurement result is outside the normal measurement range, proceed to step S13, and if the measurement result is within the normal measurement range, proceed to step S11. In step S11, it is determined whether the "Send to Server" icon image displayed on the biometric information measurement screen of Figures 15A and 15B has been selected by the operator. If the "Send to Server" icon image has been selected by the operator, proceed to step S12, and if the "Send to Server" icon image has not been selected by the operator, return to step S6.

[0050] In step S12, the measurement results of the vital information are transmitted from the information terminal 30 to the server device 20 in a state associated with information on the type and model of the determined measuring device 10, the person in charge ID, and the patient ID. The measurement results of the vital information are then received in the server device 20, and the measurement results of the vital information are stored. The measurement results of the vital information are also transmitted from the server device 20 to the electronic medical record server device 101, and the measurement results of the vital information are stored in the electronic medical record server device 101. The control process in the medical information management system 100 is then terminated.

[0051] If the measurement result is outside the normal measurement range in step S10, the process proceeds to step S13, where a read error is notified (see FIG. 14B).Then, the process returns to step S6.

[0052] In addition, in step S20, which is reached if the icon image of "measurement of biological information" is not selected in step S4, it is determined whether the icon image of "confirmation of treatment order" is selected. If the icon image of "confirmation of treatment order" is selected, the process proceeds to step S21 shown in Fig. 19, and if the icon image of "confirmation of treatment order" is not selected, the process returns to step S4.

[0053] In step S21 shown in FIG. 19, the treatment order is displayed on the touch panel 34 (see FIG. 15A). In step S22, it is determined whether or not the icon image of "Read setting information with camera" displayed on the screen shown in FIG. 15A has been selected. This determination is repeated until the icon image of "Read setting information with camera" is selected, and if selected, the process proceeds to step S23. In step S23, an image of the device is taken. Then, in step S24, the setting information is read from the captured image. Then, in step S25, the read setting information is compared with the treatment order.

[0054] In step S26, it is determined whether the read setting information and the treatment order match, and if they match, in step S27, a message indicating a match (see FIG. 17A) is displayed on the touch panel 34, and if they do not match, in step S28, a message notifying the fact that they do not match (see FIG. 17B) is displayed on the touch panel 34. Thereafter, the control process in the medical information management system 100 ends.

[0055] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 20 to 22. Unlike the configuration of information terminal 30 in the first embodiment, which obtains measurement results based on a captured image, the second embodiment is configured to receive measurement results from a measuring device 210 via communication. In the following description, when the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment are used, they indicate the same configuration as in the first embodiment, and the preceding description will be referred to unless otherwise specified.

[0056] (Configuration according to the second embodiment) Fig. 20 is a block diagram of a medical information management system 200 according to the second embodiment. As shown in Fig. 20, in the second embodiment, the measuring device 210 is provided with a communication unit 214 that communicates with the information terminal 230. The infusion pump 240 is also provided with a communication unit. The communication control unit of the information terminal 230 is configured to receive the measurement results of the biological information from the measuring device 210 via the communication units 214 and 233. The biological information acquisition unit of the information terminal 230 acquires the measurement results of the biological information received by the communication control unit.

[0057] The communication unit 214 and the communication unit of the infusion pump 240 are each configured to be capable of communication according to a short-range wireless communication standard (e.g., Bluetooth (registered trademark)). After the biological information is measured, the control unit 211 of the measuring device 210 transmits the measurement results of the biological information to the information terminal 30. Then, the control unit 231 of the information terminal 230 transmits the measurement results of the biological information acquired by communication to the server device 20. The infusion pump 240 transmits setting information to the information terminal 230. The other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0058] (Medical information management method according to the second embodiment) 21 and 22 are flowcharts for explaining a medical information management method according to the second embodiment. Steps S206, S208, and S222 to S224 are different from the control processing according to the first embodiment, and other processing is performed similarly to the first embodiment. Moreover, the control processing in FIG. 21 and FIG. 22 is executed by the control unit 231.

[0059] 21, in step S206, it is determined whether or not the icon image of "read the measuring instrument with a camera" has been selected. That is, in the second embodiment, since reading the measurement results is not necessary, the form of the measuring instrument 210 is photographed. If the icon image of "read the measuring instrument with a camera" has been selected, the process proceeds to step S7, and if the icon image of "read the measuring instrument with a camera" has not been selected, the process proceeds to step S11.

[0060] In step S208, the measurement results are received from measuring device 210. That is, in the second embodiment, information terminal 230 obtains the measurement results of biological information from measuring device 210 through communication.

[0061] As shown in Fig. 22, in step S222, it is determined whether or not setting information has been received from the infusion pump 240. This determination is repeated until setting information has been received from the infusion pump 240, and if it has been received, the process proceeds to step S223. In step S223, the received setting information is compared with the treatment order. In step S224, it is determined whether or not the received setting information matches the treatment order, and if the received setting information matches the treatment order, the process proceeds to step S25, and if the received setting information does not match the treatment order, the process proceeds to step S26.

[0062] [Third embodiment] Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 23 and 24. In the third embodiment, a trained model 332a that has been machine-learned is used to identify the type of measuring instrument 10 based on a captured image. In the following description, when the same reference numerals as those in the first or second embodiment are used, they indicate the same configuration as those in the first or second embodiment, and the preceding description will be referred to unless otherwise specified.

[0063] FIG. 23 is a block diagram of a medical information management system 300 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 23, in the third embodiment, an information terminal 330 is provided with a control unit 331 and a storage unit 332 in which a machine-learned trained model 332a is stored. The medical information management system 300 is also provided with a machine learning device 350. The machine learning device 350 includes a machine learning unit 351 and a storage unit 352 in which a training database 352a is stored. The machine learning unit 351 is a processor that executes a predetermined training program. The training database 352a stores a training program and a training dataset.

[0064] Fig. 24 is an image diagram of the creation of trained model 332a by machine learning and the use of trained model 332a to estimate the type of measuring device 10. As shown in Fig. 24, an image of measuring device 10 (learning image) is used as input data, and learning is performed by machine learning unit 351 using a data set in which the type name (and model name) of measuring device 10 is used as training data. As a result, trained model 332a is created.

[0065] Then, the control unit 331 inputs an image captured by the information terminal 330 as input data into the trained model 332a, thereby acquiring the discrimination result of the measuring device 10 estimated as output data. With this configuration, it is possible to discriminate a measuring device 10 that cannot be discriminated by simple pattern matching. For example, even if the learning database 352a does not contain information about a measuring device 10, it is possible to discriminate the type of the measuring device 10 by estimation using the trained model 332a. The other configurations are similar to those according to the first embodiment.

[0066] [Variations] The above-described embodiment is merely an example for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the above-described embodiment can be appropriately modified and carried out without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0067] (1) In the above embodiment, the medical information management server device and the electronic medical record server device are configured separately, but this is not limited to this. That is, the medical information management server device and the electronic medical record server device may be configured as an integrated device.

[0068] (2) In the above embodiment, the type of the measuring device is determined by the information terminal, but this is not limited to the above. For example, the medical information management server device or an image recognition service server device separate from the medical information management server device may determine the type of the measuring device based on the captured image. In this case, the determination result is transmitted from the medical information management server device or the image recognition service server to the information terminal, and the determination result is displayed on the information terminal.

[0069] For example, in the medical information management system 400 according to the modified example shown in FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, in addition to the medical information management server device 420 and the information terminal 430, an image recognition service server device 440 is provided. The image recognition service server device 440 may be configured as an on-premise server in a hospital, or may be configured on the cloud. The image recognition service server device 440 includes a control unit 441, a storage unit 442, and a communication unit 443. As shown in FIG. 26, the control unit 441 includes a patient identification unit 431b, a person in charge identification unit 431c, and a measuring device discrimination unit 431d. The patient identification unit 431b, the person in charge identification unit 431c, and the measuring device discrimination unit 431d correspond to the patient identification unit 31b, the person in charge identification unit 31c, and the measuring device discrimination unit 31d that realize the function using image recognition shown in the above embodiment, respectively. The storage unit 442 is provided with an image recognition database 442a. The image recognition database 442a is a database in which images are associated with a patient ID, a person in charge ID, and the type and model of the measuring instrument 10. The communication unit 443 transmits and receives information to and from the information terminal 430 and the medical information management server device 420 via the network N. The patient identification unit 431b, the person in charge identification unit 431c, and the measuring instrument discrimination unit 31d refer to the image recognition database 442a based on the image received from the information terminal 430, and respectively obtain information on the patient ID, the person in charge ID, and the type (and / or model) of the measuring instrument 10. The image recognition service server device 440 then associates the information on the patient ID, the person in charge ID, and the type (and / or model) of the measuring instrument 10 with each other, and transmits the information to the medical information management server device 420. Furthermore, when image recognition service server device 440 receives the measurement results of the biological information from information terminal 430, it associates the measurement results of the biological information with information on the patient ID, the person in charge ID, and the type (and / or model) of measuring device 10, and transmits this information to medical information management server device 420. With this configuration, image recognition-related processing that is difficult for information terminal 430 to process at high speed can be performed at high speed by image recognition service server device 440.

[0070] (3) In the above embodiment, an example in which the patient ID is acquired by the information terminal is shown, but this is not limited to the above. For example, if the information terminal and the patient are linked, the patient to be measured may be identified (specified) using the identification information of the device of the information terminal, without using the patient ID.

[0071] (4) In the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the model of the measuring device was identified, but this is not limited to this. That is, the present system and method only need to be able to identify the type of measuring device.

[0072] (5) In the above embodiment, when the measurement result is outside the normal range, a reading error is displayed on the touch panel, but this is not limited to the above. For example, when the measurement result is outside the normal range, a reading error may be notified by outputting a sound.

[0073] (6) In the above first and third embodiments, the measurement results are obtained from a captured image, and in the above second embodiment, the measurement results are obtained through communication. However, the present invention is not limited to this. An operator may manually input the measurement results into an information terminal.

[0074] The present disclosure can also be explained as follows.

[0075] A medical information management system according to a first configuration comprises a server device which manages medical information including measurement results of biometric information of a plurality of patients, an information terminal including a biometric information acquisition unit which acquires measurement results measured by a measuring device which measures specific biometric information of the patient and an imaging unit which photographs the shape of the measuring device, a measuring device discrimination unit which discriminates the type of the measuring device based on an image of the shape of the measuring device photographed by the imaging unit, and a communication unit which transmits the measurement results of the biometric information to the server device in a state in which the measurement results are associated with the type of measuring device discriminated by the measuring device discrimination unit, and the server device receives the measurement results of the biometric information transmitted from the communication unit and stores the measurement results (first configuration).

[0076] According to the first configuration, the type of measuring device can be identified based on the captured image of the shape of the measuring device. As a result, it is possible to identify the type of measuring device without complicating the configuration of the measuring device, and it is possible to manage medical information including biological information.

[0077] In the first configuration, the information terminal may further include a patient identification unit that acquires patient identification information, which is identification information of the patient being measured, and the communication unit may be configured to transmit the measurement results of the biometric information to the server device in a state in which the measurement results are associated with the type of measuring device identified by the measuring device identification unit and the patient identification information (second configuration).

[0078] According to the second configuration, the server device can acquire measurement results of biological information associated with patient identification information, and can therefore easily identify the patient corresponding to the measurement results based on the patient identification information.

[0079] In the first or second configuration, the information terminal may further include a staff identification unit that acquires staff identification information which is identification information of the person in charge of measuring the biometric information, and the communication unit may be configured to transmit the measurement results of the biometric information to the server device in a state in which the measurement results are associated with the type of measuring device identified by the measuring device identification unit and the staff identification information (third configuration).

[0080] According to the third configuration, the server device can acquire the measurement result of the biological information associated with the person in charge identification information. As a result, the person in charge who performed the measurement can be easily identified based on the person in charge identification information.

[0081] In any of the first to third configurations, the photographing unit may be configured to photograph a screen displaying the measurement results of the biometric information displayed on the measuring device in addition to the shape of the measuring device, and the biometric information acquisition unit may be configured to acquire the measurement results based on the screen displaying the measurement results photographed by the photographing unit (fourth configuration).

[0082] According to the fourth configuration, the workload of the operator can be reduced compared to when the measurement results are manually input into an information terminal. Also, unlike when a communication unit is provided in the measuring device and the measurement results are obtained from the measuring device via communication, the workload of the operator can be reduced while simplifying the configuration of the measuring device.

[0083] In any of the first to third configurations, the communication unit may be configured to receive the measurement results of the biological information transmitted from the measuring device, and the biological information acquisition unit may be configured to acquire the measurement results of the biological information received by the information control unit (fifth configuration).

[0084] According to the fifth configuration, the workload of the operator can be reduced, compared to the case where the measurement results are manually input into the information terminal.

[0085] In any of the first to fifth configurations, the biometric information acquisition unit may be configured to acquire each measurement result of the multiple biometric information measured by the multiple measuring devices, the photographing unit may be configured to photograph the form of each of the multiple measuring devices, and the measuring device discrimination unit may be configured to discriminate the type of each of the multiple measuring devices based on an image of the form of each of the multiple measuring devices, and the information terminal may further include a display control unit that causes the name of the type of biometric information measured by the multiple measuring devices and the measurement results of each of the multiple biometric information to be displayed side by side on the display (sixth configuration).

[0086] According to the sixth configuration, the measurement results of biological information measured by multiple measuring devices can be displayed in a list form, so that when measurements are performed using multiple measuring devices, the operator can easily check the measurement results.

[0087] In any of the first to sixth configurations, the device may further include a memory unit in which a normal value range of the measurement results is stored for each type of measuring device, and an alarm unit that alarms that the measurement result acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit is abnormal if the measurement result acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit is outside the normal value range corresponding to the type of measuring device identified by the measuring device identification unit (seventh configuration).

[0088] According to the seventh configuration, if the measurement device is incorrectly identified or the measurement results are read or input incorrectly, the operator can recognize that there is an abnormality. As a result, the operator can manage the correct measurement results of biological information by retaking the image of the measurement device or re-reading or inputting the measurement results.

[0089] The medical information management program of the eighth configuration causes a processor of an information terminal that communicates with a server device that manages medical information including measurement results of the biometric information of multiple patients to perform the following processes: acquiring measurement results measured by a measuring device that measures specified biometric information of a patient; photographing the shape of the measuring device; determining the type of measuring device based on the photographed image of the shape of the measuring device; and transmitting the measurement results of the biometric information to the server device in a state where they are associated with the determined type of measuring device (eighth configuration).

[0090] According to the eighth configuration, as with the first configuration, it is possible to determine the type of measuring device without complicating the configuration of the measuring device, and it is possible to manage medical information including biometric information.

[0091] A medical information management method according to a ninth configuration includes the steps of acquiring measurement results measured by a measuring device that measures specific biometric information of a patient, photographing the shape of the measuring device, determining the type of measuring device based on the photographed image of the shape of the measuring device, and storing the measurement results of the biometric information in a server device that manages medical information including the measurement results of the biometric information of multiple patients, in a state associated with the determined type of measuring device (ninth configuration).

[0092] According to the ninth configuration, as with the first configuration, it is possible to determine the type of measuring device without complicating the configuration of the measuring device, and it is possible to manage medical information including biometric information.
