[0025] In this embodiment, there are multiple test devices 2, multiple member computers 4, and multiple doctor computers 6, and there is only one organization computer 3 and one external isolation computer 5, but this is just an example and other configurations are also possible. Furthermore, each test device 2, each member computer 4, each external isolation computer 5, and each doctor computer 6 can communicate with the organization computer 3 via a network 7.

[0026] Furthermore, the term "organization" includes not only companies but also various other types of organizations. If the organization is a company, the members are, for example, employees. If the organization is a company, the doctors are, for example, industrial physicians.

[0027] <Inspection equipment> The testing device 2 will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. The testing device 2 acquires biometric information from the member to be tested and derives a health status index that indicates the degree of health status of the member. The testing device 2 then outputs the health status index to the organization's computer 3. The organization's computer 3 receives the health status index output from the testing device 2. The testing device 2 may be provided for each member, or may be shared by multiple members. An example of the testing device 2 is an apnea testing device, but this is not limited to this and other testing devices may also be used. When the testing device 2 is an apnea testing device, the health status index is the apnea hypopnea index (AHI).

[0028] <Hardware configuration of the inspection device> The hardware configuration of the inspection device 2 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 2, the inspection device 2 is configured by a computer 10 having, for example, a CPU 101, a RAM 102, a ROM 103, a storage medium 104, a wireless communication interface 105, an antenna 106, a wired communication interface 107, a connection connector 108, an operation input interface 109, an operation input device 110, a display control unit 111, a display device 112, a sensor interface 113, a sensor 114, a power supply device 115, and a bus 116. Note that the notation I / F in Fig. 2 is an abbreviation for interface.

ROM 103 stores, for example, a program for starting up computer 10, an operating system (OS) that implements the basic operations of computer 10, and a program for deriving a health status index. Storage medium 104 is composed of, for example, a flash memory. Storage medium 104 stores, for example, test information such as derived health status indexes, and identification information of affiliated members.

[0030] The wireless communication interface 105 performs conversion processing (modulation and demodulation) of data transmitted and received via wireless communication with an external device, and is connected to the antenna 106. The antenna 106 receives data transmitted from the outside and sends it to the wireless communication interface 105. The antenna 106 also transmits data supplied from the wireless communication interface 105 to the outside.

[0031] The wired communication interface 107, for example, performs conversion processing of data transmitted and received via wired communication with an external device, and is connected to a connector 108. An example of the wired communication interface 107 is one that uses a serial bus standard such as USB, but is not limited to this. Other examples of the wired communication interface 107 include a serial bus system such as IEEE1394, and a parallel bus system such as SCSI. The wired communication interface 107 may also include one that can be connected to an external network. One example of a standard for such a wired communication interface 107 is Ethernet (registered trademark).

[0032] The operation input interface 109 transmits operation signals from the operation input device 110 to the CPU 101 via the bus 116. The display control unit 111 causes the display device 112 to display according to commands from the CPU 101. Commands from the CPU 101 are transmitted to the display control unit 111 via the bus 116. The operation input device 110 may be, for example, a touch panel type in which input is made by touching the display portion of the display device 112, or may be a type in which input is made by pressing a button, or may be constituted by a mouse. The display device 112 may be a liquid crystal display device embedded in the main body of the inspection device 2, or may be an external liquid crystal monitor connected to the main body of the inspection device 2.

[0033] The sensor interface 113 transmits a biological signal acquired by the sensor 114 to the CPU 101 via the bus 116. The sensor 114 acquires biological information of a person, and an example of the sensor 114 is a pressure sensor that detects a person's breathing.

[0034] The power supply device 115 supplies power to each component within the computer 10.

The nasal cannula-type pressure sensor acquires biometric information related to nasal breathing. The biometric information related to nasal breathing includes, for example, a time-elapsed waveform related to nasal breathing. The biometric information acquisition unit 20 is mainly realized by the sensor interface 113 and the sensor 114 in the computer 10.

[0037] Health state index derivation unit 21 derives a health state index based on the biometric information acquired by biometric information acquisition unit 20. Health state index derivation unit 21 is mainly realized by CPU 101, RAM 102, ROM 103 in which a program for deriving a health state index is written, etc. in computer 10.

[0038] The inspection side input unit 22 accepts input from outside. Specifically, the inspection side input unit 22 accepts input of identification information of the member to be inspected, for example. Examples of the member identification information include a unique number assigned to the member, the member's name, age, gender, etc. The inspection side input unit 22 is mainly realized by the operation input interface 109 and operation input device 110 in the computer 10.

[0039] The test-side memory unit 23 stores predetermined information. Examples of the predetermined information include test information including health status indicators and identification information of the member to be tested input by the test-side input unit 22. The test-side memory unit 23 temporarily stores the stored information and may discard it after the information is output from the test-side output unit 24, or may store it continuously. The test-side memory unit 23 is mainly realized by the storage medium 104 in the computer 10.

[0040] The test-side output unit 24 outputs test information to the organization-side computer 3. The output of the test-side output unit 24 may be realized by wireless communication or by wired communication. The test information includes health status indicators of the member to be tested. The test-side output unit 24 is mainly realized by the wireless communication interface 105 and antenna 106 in the computer 10, or the wired communication interface 107 and connector 108 in the computer 10, etc.

[0041] <Group computer> 4 and 5, the organization-side computer 3 will be described. The organization-side computer 3 is a computer operated by the organization. The organization-side computer 3 receives the test information output from each test device 2, evaluates the test information, creates a judgment result including instructions corresponding to the test information, and outputs the result to the member-side computer 4.

[0042] <Hardware configuration of the organization's computer> The hardware configuration of the organization-side computer 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 4. As shown in Fig. 4, the organization-side computer 3 is configured by a computer 11 having, for example, a CPU 101, a RAM 102, a ROM 103, a storage medium 104, a wireless communication interface 105, an antenna 106, a wired communication interface 107, a connection connector 108, an operation input interface 109, an operation input device 110, a display control unit 111, a display device 112, a power supply device 115, a bus 116, an audio control unit 117, and a speaker 118.

[0043] The CPU 101 controls the overall processing within the computer 11 and uses the RAM 102 as a working area. For example, a program for starting up the computer 11 and other basic programs executed by the CPU 101 are written in the ROM 103. The storage medium 104 is configured, for example, with a hard disk drive (HDD) and / or a solid state drive (SSD). For example, an operating system (OS) that realizes the basic operations of the computer 11 and programs that depend on the operating system are written in the storage medium 104. The storage medium 104 also functions as a storage location for supplied data.

[0044] The wireless communication interface 105, the antenna 106, the wired communication interface 107, the connector 108, the operation input interface 109, the operation input device 110, the display control unit 111, the display device 112, and the power supply device 115 are the same as those of the computer 10 described in <Hardware configuration of the inspection device>, so their description will be omitted.

[0045] The audio control unit 117 outputs audio through a speaker 118 in accordance with instructions from the CPU 101. Instructions from the CPU 101 are transmitted to the audio control unit 117 via a bus .

[0046] Specifically, the organization's computer 3 may be configured as, for example, a tower-type personal computer or a notebook computer.

[0047] <Function block of the organization's computer> 5, the functional blocks of the organization-side computer 3 will be described. The organization-side computer 3 has, for example, an instruction correspondence table storage unit 30, an organization-side condition storage unit 30A, an instruction correspondence table update unit 31, an organization-side receiving unit 32, a buffer unit 33, a determination unit 34, a determination result storage unit 34A, an output destination correspondence table storage unit 35, an attendance management interlocking unit 35A, an output destination correspondence table update unit 36, an organization-side output unit 37, a message output determination unit 38, an organization-side display unit 39A, and an organization-side input unit 39B.

[0048] The instruction correspondence table storage unit 30 stores an instruction correspondence table 300 (see, for example, FIG. 6(A)) that associates health status indicators with instructions to staff members. The instructions correspond to, for example, instructions from a doctor according to the health status indicators. The instruction correspondence table storage unit 30 is mainly realized by the storage medium 104 in the computer 11, etc.

[0049] When the health status indicator is the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), for example, in the instruction correspondence table 300, as shown in Fig. 6(A), two thresholds are set for the AHI value 310, dividing it into three ranges, and instruction contents 340 corresponding to each range are set. In addition, a display color 320 and display contents 330 may also be set. For example, two thresholds, "15" and "30," are set for the AHI value 310, dividing it into a first range of "0 to 15," a second range of "15 to 30," and a third range of "30 or more."

[0050] 7, the display color 320 is the color displayed on the sleep state level bar 410 in the "self-test result for sleep apnea" created by the group computer 3. For example, in a first range of the AHI value 310, the display color 320 is "blue," in a second range of the AHI value 310, the display color 320 is "yellow," and in a third range of the AHI value 310, the display color 320 is "red."

[0051] 7, the display content 330 is the content displayed in "Your sleep apnea level" 420 in the "Self-test results for sleep apnea" created in the organization-side computer 3. For example, for a first range of AHI value 310, the display content 330 is "No problem," for a second range of AHI value 310, the display content 330 is "Mild abnormality present," and for a first range of AHI value 310, the display content 330 is "Abnormality present."

[0052] 7, the instructions are the ones displayed in "Response Instructions" 430 in the "Sleep Apnea Self-Test Results" created by the organization's computer 3. For example, for a first range of AHI values ​​310, instructions 340 are "No special action required regarding sleep. Please continue to make efforts to maintain your health," for a second range of AHI values ​​310, instructions 340 are "Please immediately retest with the same self-test," and for a third range of AHI values ​​310, instructions 340 are "Please promptly consult a doctor with the results."

[0053] The identification number, name, date of birth (age), and sex in the determination result display in FIG. 7 are output with reference to the output destination correspondence table 500, which will be described later.

[0054] The above contents of instruction correspondence table 300 are merely examples, and other contents may be used. The contents of instruction correspondence table 300 can be freely determined within the organization. If the organization is a company, for example, they can be determined within a health committee. The organization-side conditions used when determining the contents of instruction correspondence table 300 are stored in organization-side condition storage unit 30A. Examples of organization-side conditions include the names of the members of the health committee (name of representative, name of general safety and health manager, name of industrial physician, name of health manager), the date of the health committee meeting where the contents of instruction correspondence table 300 were determined, the decision regarding the contents of instruction correspondence table 300 (whether the health committee determined the values, etc. of instruction correspondence table 300, or whether the person responsible for determining the values, etc. of instruction correspondence table 300 was determined, or some other decision), the date the health committee, etc., determined the contents of instruction correspondence table 300 was made public, and the person responsible for inputting the contents of instruction correspondence table 300 (representative, general safety and health manager, industrial physician, or other). The organization-side conditions can be displayed on an organization-side display unit 39A (described later) or on the member-side computer 4 (member-side display unit 41) using an interface such as that shown in FIG. 6(C).

[0055] The contents of the instruction correspondence table 300 stored in the instruction correspondence table storage unit 30 can be updated by the instruction correspondence table update unit 31. The instruction correspondence table update unit 31 is operated by the administrator of the organization. The instruction correspondence table update unit 31 is mainly realized by the CPU 101, RAM 102, ROM 103 in which an update program is written, operation input interface 109, operation input device 110, etc. in the computer 11.

[0056] The organization-side receiving unit 32 receives data output from the inspection device 2 and the member-side computer 4. The organization-side receiving unit 32 has, for example, an inspection information receiving unit 32A that receives inspection information from the inspection device 2, and an organization-side interview request receiving unit 32B that receives an indication of a desire for an interview, which will be described later, from the member-side computer 4. The organization-side receiving unit 32 is mainly realized by a wireless communication interface 105 and an antenna 106 in the computer 11, or a wired communication interface 107 and a connection connector 108 in the computer 11, etc.

[0057] The buffer unit 33 temporarily stores data (e.g., health status indicators) received by the organization-side receiving unit 32, and discards the data after the specified processing is completed. For example, test information received by the test information receiving unit 32A is temporarily stored in the buffer unit 33, and is discarded by the organization-side computer 3 after the judgment by the judgment unit 34 is completed. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, it is preferable that a message 440 indicating that the data will be discarded is output from the judgment result output unit 37B to the member-side computer 4. Note that the test information received by the test information receiving unit 32A is discarded without being stored in the organization-side computer 3, but is output to the external isolated computer 5 by the test information output unit 37E, which will be described later. Then, in the external isolated computer 5, the test information (health status indicators) is stored in a state in which it cannot be accessed by computers owned by the organization, including the organization-side computer 3. The buffer unit 33 is mainly realized by RAM 102 or the like.

[0058] Determination unit 34 determines the evaluation of the health status index received by test information receiving unit 32A by referring to instruction correspondence table 300. The evaluation includes, for example, display color 320, display content 330, and instruction content 340 in instruction correspondence table 300. Determination unit 34 is mainly realized by CPU 101, RAM 102, ROM 103 in which a program for determining the evaluation of the health status index is written, storage medium 104 in which instruction correspondence table 300 is stored, etc.

[0059] For example, if the AHI value received by the test information receiving unit 32A as a health condition index is "10," the determination unit 34 refers to the instruction correspondence table 300 and determines the display color 320 to be "blue," the display content 330 to be "no problem," and the instruction content 340 to be "no special action required regarding sleep. Please continue to make efforts to maintain your health." Also, if the AHI value received by the test information receiving unit 32A as a health condition index is "35," the determination unit 34 refers to the instruction correspondence table 300 and determines the display color 320 to be "red," the display content 330 to be "abnormal," and the instruction content 340 to be "please promptly consult with a doctor with the results" (hereinafter referred to as "consultation instruction").

[0060] The judgment result storage unit 34A stores the evaluation judged by the judgment unit 34. The health condition index itself is not stored inside the organization-side computer 3, but the evaluation may be stored. The judgment result storage unit 34A is mainly realized by the storage medium 104 in the computer 11, etc. Note that the judgment result storage unit 34A may not be necessary.

[0061] The output destination correspondence table storage unit 35 stores an output destination correspondence table 500 that associates an employee identification number 510, an employee destination address 520, a name 530, an age 540, a date of birth 550, a gender 560, and an employee department 570. As shown in FIG. 8(A), an example of the employee identification number 510 in the output destination correspondence table 500 is a unique number assigned to the employee, such as "00001." As shown in FIG. 8(A), an example of the employee destination address 520 in the output destination correspondence table 500 is an email address such as "aa00001@(domain)" that can be received by the employee computer 4. 7 are displayed by referencing the member's identification number 510, name 530, age 540, date of birth 550, and gender 560 in the output destination correspondence table storage unit 35. The output destination correspondence table storage unit 35 is mainly realized by the storage medium 104 in the computer 11, etc.

[0062] The output destination correspondence table update unit 36 ​​updates the contents of the output destination correspondence table 500. The output destination correspondence table update unit 36 ​​is operated by an administrator of an organization. For example, the destination addresses 520 "aa00001@(domain)" and "aa00002@(domain)" corresponding to the member identification information "00004" and "00005" in the output destination correspondence table 500 shown in FIG. 8(A) can be changed by the output destination correspondence table update unit 36 ​​to "aa00004@(domain)" and "aa00005@(domain)" in the output destination correspondence table 500 shown in FIG. 8(B). The output destination correspondence table update unit 36 ​​is mainly realized by the CPU 101, RAM 102, ROM 103 in which an update program is written, operation input interface 109, operation input device 110, etc. in the computer 11.

[0063] The attendance management device 9 manages the attendance of employees by recording the time stamps of the employees when they arrive and leave work. When the attendance management device 9 records the time stamps, the attendance management interlocking unit 35A transmits the arrival or departure information to each unit of the organization's computer 3 in conjunction with this. When the arrival or departure information is transmitted, for example, all or part of a message output from a message output unit 37D (described later) is output to the attendance management device 9. The attendance management device 9 receives the message and displays it on the display screen (display screen) of its own display unit. Since employees always stop by the attendance management device 9 when they arrive and leave work, displaying a message on the attendance management device 9 can make a strong impression on the employees.

[0064] The organization-side output unit 37 outputs data to each member-side computer 4, the external isolated computer 5, or each doctor-side computer 6. In this embodiment, data is output from the organization-side output unit 37 via the network 7. The organization-side output unit 37 has, for example, a determination result output unit 37B having an instruction output unit 37A, an organization side consultation request output unit 37C, a message output unit 37D, and an examination information output unit 37E. The organization-side output unit 37 is mainly realized by a wireless communication interface 105 and an antenna 106 in the computer 11, or a wired communication interface 107 and a connection connector 108 in the computer 11, etc.

[0065] The judgment result output unit 37B outputs the evaluation judged by the judgment unit 34 as the judgment result. The judgment result output unit 37B includes an instruction output unit 37A that outputs the instruction content 340 in the instruction correspondence table 300. The output destination of the judgment result is the member-side computer 4 having a destination address corresponding to the identification information of the member who was the subject of inspection in the inspection device 2, by referring to the output destination correspondence table 500.

[0066] The group side interview request output unit 37C outputs to the doctor's computer 6 the indication of the desire for an interview received by the group side interview request receiving unit 32B.

[0067] The message output unit 37D outputs messages to all member-side computers 4 associated with the member. The messages include, for example, a test recommendation message recommending that the member undergo a test using the test device 2, a retest re-recommendation message recommending that a member who has received a retest determination result (retest recommendation message: see FIG. 6(A)) undergo a retest using the test device 2, or an consultation re-recommendation message recommending that a member who has received a doctor consultation determination result (consultation recommendation message: see FIG. 6(A)) undergo a doctor consultation. The main purpose of the test recommendation message is to inform the member that they should undergo a test. In other words, depending on the purpose, the test recommendation message can also be interpreted as a test notification message. All members who receive the test recommendation message recognize that they should undergo a test using the test device 2 within the deadline. In addition, the message output unit 37D outputs either an examination recommendation message, a re-examination re-recommendation message, or an interview re-recommendation message to the member-side computer 4 associated with the member instructed by the message output determination unit 38.

[0068] The message output determination unit 38 determines the message that the message output unit 37D should output and instructs the message output unit 37D. For example, the message output determination unit 38 monitors, for each member's identification information, whether the test information receiving unit 32A has received a health status indicator within a predetermined period of time since the message output unit 37D output the test recommendation message to the member-side computer 4. The message output determination unit 38 then determines that a test recommendation message should be output again to the member-side computer 4 associated with a member for whom reception of the health status indicator has not been confirmed. In response to this determination result, the message output unit 37D outputs the test recommendation message again to the member-side computer 4. In other words, the message output determination unit 38 operates to output a test recommendation message again to members who have not undergone a test using the testing device 2 within the predetermined period of time.

[0069] Furthermore, for example, after a test recommendation message is output from message output unit 37D, message output determination unit 38 determines instructions according to the determination results for a member whose health condition index has been confirmed to have been received, by referring to the determination results stored in determination result storage unit 34A and instruction correspondence table 300. An example of instruction correspondence table 300 in this case will be described below with reference to FIG. 6(B).

[0070] 6(B), the instruction correspondence table 300 further includes, for example, a flag 350, an interval 360, a count 370, and a message 380 corresponding to each AHI value 310. The message 380 corresponding to the first range of the AHI value 310 (no problem) is "Please perform a self-examination" (a message recommending an examination), the message 380 corresponding to the second range of the AHI value 310 (a slight abnormality is present) is "Please immediately perform a re-examination with the same self-examination" (a message recommending a re-examination), and the message 380 corresponding to the third range of the AHI value 310 (an abnormality is present) is "Please immediately consult with a doctor with the results" (a message recommending a consultation again).

[0071] The flag 350 is a flag that indicates whether or not to send the corresponding message 380. If the flag 350 is on, the corresponding message 380 is sent, and if the flag 350 is off, the corresponding message 380 is not sent.

[0072] Interval 360 represents the number of days elapsed since the assessment result or the corresponding message 380 was sent. If test information or an indication of a desire for an interview is not received from the corresponding employee within the number of days set in interval 360, message output determination unit 38 instructs message output unit 37D to output the corresponding message 380. For example, if the assessment result is within the first range of AHI value 310, the first message 380 (test recommendation message) is output 60 days after the assessment result is issued. If test information is not received by test information receiving unit 32A within 30 days after the first message 380 (test recommendation message) is output, the second message 380 (test recommendation message) is output. The above corresponds to periodic notifications of testing opportunities in a case where an organization has decided to conduct regular testing every 60 days.

[0073] Similarly, for example, if the assessment result is within the second range of the AHI value 310, the first message 380 (retest recommendation message) is output 20 days after the retest assessment result (retest recommendation message: see FIG. 6(A)) is issued. If the test information receiving unit 32A does not receive test information within five days after the output of the first message 380 (retest recommendation message), the second message 380 (retest recommendation message) is output. Furthermore, for example, if the assessment result is within the third range of the AHI value 310, the first message 380 (interview recommendation message) is output 15 days after the doctor interview assessment result (interview recommendation message: see FIG. 6(A)) is issued. If the group consultation request receiving unit 32B does not receive an indication of an interview desire within five days after the output of the first message 380 (interview re-recommendation message), the second message 380 (interview re-recommendation message) is output.

[0074] The number of times 370 indicates the limit number of times that the corresponding message 380 is output from the message output unit 37D. Therefore, once the limit number of times is reached, the corresponding message 380 will no longer be output.

[0075] The contents of flag 350, interval 360, count 370, and message 380 in instruction correspondence table 300 are determined under the conditions stored in organization-side condition storage unit 30A. When the contents of flag 350, interval 360, count 370, and message 380 in instruction correspondence table 300 are updated, they are updated via instruction correspondence table update unit 31. Message output determination unit 38 is mainly realized by CPU 101, RAM 102, ROM 103 in which a program for message re-output processing is written, etc. in computer 11.

[0076] The test information output unit 37E outputs the test information received by the test information receiving unit 32A to the external isolated computer 5. The external isolated computer 5 receives and stores the test information.

[0077] The organization-side display unit 39A displays the instruction correspondence table 300, the output destination correspondence table 500, the inspection recommendation message, the organization-side conditions (see FIG. 6(C)), etc. The organization manager updates the contents using the instruction correspondence table update unit 31 or the output destination correspondence table update unit 36 ​​while viewing the instruction correspondence table 300 or the output destination correspondence table 500 displayed on the organization-side display unit 39A. The organization manager also operates the organization-side input unit 39B to input the inspection recommendation message while viewing the inspection recommendation message display frame displayed on the organization-side display unit 39A. The organization manager also updates the organization-side conditions stored in the organization-side condition storage unit 30A using the organization-side condition update unit 30B while viewing the organization-side conditions displayed on the organization-side display unit 39A. The organization-side display unit 39A is mainly realized by the display control unit 111, the display device 112, etc. of the computer 11. The organization-side input unit 39B is mainly realized by the operation input interface 109, operation input device 110, etc. in the computer 11. The organization-side condition update unit 30B is mainly realized by the CPU 101, RAM 102, ROM 103 in which the update program is written, operation input interface 109, operation input device 110, etc. in the computer 11.

[0078] As described above, the organization-side computer 3 evaluates the test information output from the testing device 2 and outputs the evaluation results to the member-side computer 4. The health status index is then discarded after the evaluation. The organization-side computer 3 also relays the employee's request for a consultation with a doctor to the doctor-side computer 6 between the organization-side computer 3 and the employee-side computer 4. Therefore, the organization-side computer 3 simply communicates the evaluation results to employees and relays the employee's request for a consultation with a doctor, but does not retain important personal information such as the health status index. Therefore, even if the organization-side computer 3 is hacked from the outside, important information will not be stolen. Furthermore, by retaining the health status index, the organization's management is freed from the implicit obligation or burden of providing health management services to its employees. The employee's request for a consultation with a doctor may also be output directly from the employee-side computer 4 to the doctor-side computer 6 without going through the organization-side computer 3.

[0079] <Member's computer> The member-side computer 4 will be described with reference to Figure 9. The member-side computer 4 is a computer associated with a member. The member-side computer 4 receives the judgment result or the test recommendation message output from the organization-side computer 3.

[0080] <Hardware configuration of member's computer> The member's computer 4 has the same configuration as the computer 11 described in <Hardware configuration of the organization's computer>. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, the member's computer 4 may be, for example, a portable smartphone 12, but is not limited to this and may also be a tower-type personal computer or a notebook computer. The member's computer 4 may also be configured as an integrated part of the inspection device 2. In this case, the inspection device 2 and the member's computer 4 are configured as a computer 10.

[0081] <Function block of member's computer> 9, the functional blocks of the member-side computer 4 will be described. The member-side computer 4 has, for example, a member-side receiving unit 40, a member-side display unit 41, a member-side input unit 42, and a member-side output unit 43.

[0082] The member-side receiving unit 40 receives information output from the organization-side computer 3. The member-side receiving unit 40 has, for example, a judgment result receiving unit 40A and a message receiving unit 40C. The judgment result receiving unit 40A receives the judgment result output from the judgment result output unit 37B of the organization-side computer 3. The judgment result receiving unit 40A has an instruction receiving unit 40B that receives instruction content 340 (see Figure 6 (A); the same applies below). The message receiving unit 40C receives messages output from the message output unit 37D (for example, a message recommending an examination, a message recommending a reexamination, a message recommending an interview, etc.). The member-side receiving unit 40 is mainly realized by a wireless communication interface 105 and an antenna 106 in the computer 11, or a wired communication interface 107 and a connection connector 108 in the computer 11, etc.

[0083] The employee display unit 41 displays the information received by the employee receiving unit 40. As shown in Fig. 10, the employee display unit 41 displays, for example, "sleep apnea self-test result" as the judgment result. The employee display unit 41 is mainly realized by the display control unit 111, the display device 112, etc. in the computer 11.

[0084] The member-side input unit 42 accepts input from outside. An input of a request to consult with a doctor is accepted through the member-side input unit 42. An example of the member-side input unit 42 is a touch panel-type input mode. The member-side input unit 42 is mainly realized by the operation input interface 109, operation input device 110, etc. in the computer 11.

[0085] The member-side output unit 43 outputs information to the outside. The member-side output unit 43 has an interview request expression output unit 43A that outputs an interview request expression. The member-side output unit 43 is mainly realized by a wireless communication interface 105 and an antenna 106 in the computer 11, or a wired communication interface 107 and a connection connector 108 in the computer 11, etc.

[0086] For example, if the member-side input unit 42 is a touch panel type, the member-side display unit 41 displays, for example, an interview request display 41A in one area of ​​the display screen, as shown in Fig. 10. When the interview request display 41A is touched from outside, for example, a final confirmation display 41B is displayed on the member-side display unit 41, as shown in Fig. 11. Here, when the "Yes" display 41C is touched, an interview request indication, which indicates a desire to meet with the doctor, is output from the interview request indication output unit 43A. The output destination may be either the organization-side computer 3 or the doctor-side computer 6, or both.

[0087] <External isolation calculator> The external isolation computer 5 will be described with reference to Figures 12(A) and (C). The external isolation computer 5 is a computer operated by an organization independent of the organization that operates the organization-side computer 3. The external isolation computer 5 receives and stores test information output from the organization-side computer 3 or the testing device 2. Examples of test information include test information such as health status indicators derived by the testing device 2, and identification information of affiliated members. The external isolation computer 5 can only be accessed from external computers permitted by the external isolation computer 5. The computers that can access the external isolation computer 5 are limited, and it is preferable that the external isolation computer 5 be isolated from the organization-side computer 3 so that access from the organization-side computer 3 is restricted, for example.

[0088] <Hardware configuration of external isolated computer> The external isolated computer 5 has the same configuration as the computer 11 explained in <Hardware configuration of the organization's computer>. Specifically, the external isolated computer 5 may be, for example, a tower-type personal computer or a standard personal computer.

[0089] <Functional block of external isolated computer> 12(A), a description will be given of the functional blocks of the external isolated computer 5. The external isolated computer 5 has, for example, an external isolated side test information receiving unit 50, an external isolated side test information storage unit 51, an external isolated side test information display unit 52, and an access control unit 53.

[0090] The external isolation side test information receiving unit 50 receives test information output from the test information output unit 37E of the organization side computer 3 or the test side output unit 24 of the test device 2. The external isolation side test information receiving unit 50 is mainly realized by the wireless communication interface 105 and antenna 106 in the computer 11, or the wired communication interface 107 and connection connector 108 in the computer 11, etc.

[0091] The external isolation side test information storage unit 51 stores the test information received by the external isolation side test information receiving unit 50. As shown in Fig. 12(C), the external isolation side test information storage unit 51 stores test information for each member's identification number, for example, by associating the AHI as a health status index with the date and time of reception by the external isolation side test information receiving unit 50. This is mainly realized by the storage medium 104 in the computer 11, etc.

[0092] The external isolation side test information display unit 52 displays the test information stored in the external isolation side test information storage unit 51. The external isolation side test information display unit 52 displays a table such as that shown in Fig. 12(C) on the screen. The external isolation side test information display unit 52 is mainly realized by the display control unit 111, the display device 112, etc. in the computer 11.

[0093] The access control unit 53 controls access from outside. Only computers permitted by the access control unit 53 can view the contents stored in the external isolation side test information storage unit 51. Therefore, if the access control unit 53 restricts access from the organization side computer 3, the organization side cannot view the contents stored in the external isolation side test information storage unit 51. It is preferable that the access control unit 53 is configured to restrict access from the organization side computer 3. Furthermore, the access control unit 53 can restrict the information accessible to each external computer permitted to access. For example, a specific computer may be permitted to access all or part of the information of a specific member, and another specific computer may be permitted to access all or part of the information of another specific member.

[0094] <Doctor's computer> Referring to Figure 12 (B), the doctor's computer 6 will be described. The doctor's computer 6 is a computer operated by a doctor. The doctor's computer 6 receives an indication of a desire to have an interview output from the organization's computer 3 or the member's computer 4.

[0095] <Hardware configuration of the doctor's computer> The doctor's computer 6 has the same configuration as the computer 11 described in <Hardware configuration of the organization's computer>. Specifically, the doctor's computer 6 may be, for example, a tower-type personal computer or a notebook computer.

[0096] <Function block of doctor's computer> 12(B), a description will be given of the functional blocks of the doctor-side computer 6. The doctor-side computer 6 has, for example, a doctor consultation request receiving unit 60, a doctor-side display unit 61, and an online consultation unit 62.

[0097] The doctor side-interview request receiving unit 60 receives an interview request output from the interview request output unit 43A of the member-side computer 4, or receives an interview request output from the organization side-interview request output unit 37C of the organization side-interview request receiving unit 60. The doctor side-interview request receiving unit 60 is mainly realized by the wireless communication interface 105 and antenna 106 of the computer 11, or the wired communication interface 107 and connection connector 108 of the computer 11, etc.

[0098] The doctor-side display unit 61 displays the consultation request received by the doctor consultation request receiving unit 60. By looking at this display, the doctor can understand that the member has requested a consultation. The doctor-side display unit 61 is mainly realized by the display control unit 111, the display device 112, etc. in the computer 11.

[0099] The online consultation unit 62 enables a remote consultation with the member-side computer 4 via video. This allows the doctor and member to share video and audio with each other via the member-side computer 4 and the doctor-side computer 6, enabling remote consultations. When a doctor consults with a member, being able to view test information and corresponding evaluation results allows for more accurate examinations. For this reason, it is preferable that the doctor-side computer 6 be allowed to access the external isolation computer 5. It is also preferable that the doctor-side computer 6 output test information and corresponding evaluation results for the member who has requested a consultation. It is also preferable that the test information viewable by the doctor-side computer 6 include not only health status indicators derived by the testing device 2 but also biological information such as a time-lapse waveform of respiratory status. To reduce the doctor's burden of responsibility, it is preferable that the doctor-side computer 6 be allowed to access the external isolation computer 5 only for at least a portion of the member information corresponding to the consultation request stored in the external isolation computer 5.

[0100] <Testing method> With reference to FIG. 13, an inspection method using the inspection system 1 will be described. First, an inspection recommendation message is output from the message output unit 37D of the organization-side computer 3 to the member-side computer 4 (step S100). Next, the inspection recommendation message is received by the message receiving unit 40C of the member-side computer 4 (step S101). Then, the inspection recommendation message is displayed on the member-side display unit 41 of the member-side computer 4 (step S102). This makes it possible to recommend that the member perform a self-inspection using the inspection device 2. Note that, before or after step S102, identification information of the member to be inspected is input into the inspection device 2 (step S103).

[0101] Next, after the test recommendation message is displayed in step S102, the employee starts the test using the test device 2 (step S104). As a result, the biometric information acquisition unit 20 of the test device 2 starts acquiring biometric information of the employee to be tested. Then, the health status index derivation unit 21 derives a health status index. When the test using the test device 2 is completed (step S105), the test information is output from the test side output unit 24 of the test device 2 to the organization side computer 3 (step S106).

[0102] Next, the test information receiving unit 32A of the corporate computer 3 receives the test information including the health status index (step S107). The test information is temporarily stored in the buffer unit 33 of the corporate computer 3 (step S108). The judgment unit 34 of the corporate computer 3 performs judgment processing on this health status index (step S109). The judgment result is output from the judgment result output unit 37B of the corporate computer 3 to the member computer 4 (step S110). In addition, the test information including the health status index is output to the external isolated computer 5 (step S111). Thereafter, the health status index received by the test information receiving unit 32A is discarded (step S112). Then, member-side processing is performed in the member computer 4 (step S113).

[0103] As described above, the inspection method of this embodiment can encourage members to self-inspect. Furthermore, since the organization computer 3 discards important information, the inspection method of this embodiment is also safe from a security standpoint.

[0104] <Processing by the member> The member-side processing will be described with reference to Figure 14. The member-side processing is processing performed by the member-side computer 4 in response to the judgment result. First, the judgment result is received by the judgment result receiving unit 40A of the member-side computer 4 (step S200). The judgment result includes instruction content 340, which is received by the instruction receiving unit 40B.

[0105] Next, if the instruction content 340 in the judgment result is an interview instruction (interview recommendation message: see FIG. 6(A)) (step S201), an interview instruction display recommending an interview with a doctor is displayed on the member-side display unit 41 of the member-side computer 4, for example, as shown in "Response Instruction Content" in FIG. 10 (step S202). The interview instruction display also displays an interview request display 41A, as shown in FIG. 10.

[0106] If an interview is desired, for example, the interview desire display 41A is touched to input an indication of the desire for an interview (step S203), and the indication of the desire for an interview is output from the interview desire indication output unit 43A (step S204).

[0107] On the other hand, if the instruction content 340 in the judgment result is a re-examination instruction (a message recommending re-examination: see FIG. 6(A)) (step S205), the member-side display unit 41 of the member-side computer 4 will display a re-examination message stating, for example, "Please immediately re-examine using the same self-examination method" in the section shown as "response instructions" in FIG. 10 (step S206). Also, if the instruction content 340 in the judgment result is neither an interview instruction nor a re-examination instruction (step S205), the member-side display unit 41 of the member-side computer 4 will display a follow-up observation message stating, for example, "No special action required regarding sleep. Please continue to make efforts to maintain your health" in the section shown as "response instructions" in FIG. 10 (step S207).

[0108] <Determination process> The determination process will be described with reference to Fig. 15. First, the determination unit 34 determines whether the magnitude of the health condition indicator in the test information temporarily stored in the buffer unit 33 is equal to or greater than a first threshold value (e.g., AHI value "30") (step S300). If the determination unit 34 determines that the magnitude of the health condition indicator is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, the determination unit 34 refers to the instruction correspondence table 300 and determines that a doctor consultation is appropriate as the instruction content 340 (step S301).

[0109] If the determination unit 34 determines that the magnitude of the health condition indicator is equal to or less than the first threshold, the determination unit 34 then determines whether the magnitude of the health condition indicator is equal to or less than a second threshold (e.g., an AHI value of 15) (step S302). If the determination unit 34 determines that the magnitude of the health condition indicator is equal to or less than the second threshold, the determination unit 34 refers to the instruction correspondence table 300 and determines that follow-up observation is appropriate as the instruction content 340 (step S303). If the determination unit 34 determines that the magnitude of the health condition indicator is equal to or greater than the second threshold, the determination unit 34 typically refers to the instruction correspondence table 300 and determines that reexamination is appropriate as the instruction content 340 (step S305). In other words, if the magnitude of the health condition indicator is equal to or greater than the second threshold and equal to or less than the first threshold, it is determined that reexamination is appropriate.

[0110] However, if a state in which a reexamination is appropriate continues for multiple times, it is preferable to determine that a doctor consultation is appropriate as instruction content 340. Therefore, even if the determination unit 34 determines in step 302 that the magnitude of the health condition indication index is equal to or greater than the second threshold, the determination unit 34 determines whether a reexamination determination has been issued a predetermined number of times in succession up to the immediately preceding examination (step S304). Because the determination results are stored in the determination result storage unit 34A, the determination is made based on that information.

[0111] If the re-examination determination has not been issued a predetermined number of times in succession, the determination unit 34 determines that a re-examination is appropriate as the instruction content 340 (step S305). If the re-examination determination has been issued a predetermined number of times in succession, the determination unit 34 determines that a doctor consultation is appropriate as the instruction content 340 (step S301).

[0112] <Processing for re-outputting inspection recommendation messages> The processing for re-outputting a testing recommendation message will be described with reference to Figure 16. The processing for re-outputting a testing recommendation message refers to processing for re-outputting a testing recommendation message from the organization-side computer 3 to the member-side computer 4 under certain conditions. In the processing for re-outputting a testing recommendation message, first, as shown in Figure 13, after the first testing recommendation message is output from the message output unit 37D of the organization-side computer 3 (step S100), the message output determination unit 38 determines for each member's identification information whether testing information has been received by the testing information receiving unit 32A within a predetermined period of time (step S400).

[0113] When the test information receiving unit 32A determines that test information corresponding to the member's identification information has not been received, the message output determination unit 38 typically instructs the message output unit 37D to re-output the test recommendation message, and the test recommendation message is re-output from the message output unit 37D (step S402).

[0114] However, if the testing recommendation message is sent endlessly, the members may become accustomed to it, which may reduce the effectiveness of encouraging the members to get tested, so it is preferable to limit the number of times the testing recommendation message is sent. For this reason, the message output determination unit 38 determines, for each member's identification information, whether the number of times the testing recommendation message has been re-output has reached a predetermined number without the testing information receiving unit 32A receiving the testing information (step S402). If the number of times the testing recommendation message has been re-output has not reached the predetermined number, the testing recommendation message is re-output from the message output unit 37D of the organization-side computer 3 (step S402). On the other hand, if the number of times the testing recommendation message has been re-output has reached the predetermined number, the testing recommendation message is not re-output from the message output unit 37D.

[0115] Next, the message output determination unit 38 determines whether the test information associated with the identification information of the member to whom the test recommendation message is to be re-output has been received by the test information receiving unit 32A within a predetermined period of time since the test recommendation message was re-output from the message output unit 37D of the organization-side computer 3 (step S403). If the message output determination unit 38 determines that the test information has been received, the re-output process ends. On the other hand, if the message output determination unit 38 determines that the test information has not been received, the process returns to step S402.
