[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing method and an information processing system.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, in the medical field, the spread of online medical treatment using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) has been progressing. In particular, for patients living in remote areas or the elderly who have difficulty going out, online medical treatment has attracted attention as a means to improve medical access.

[0003] In conventional online medical treatment, doctors often only conduct examinations via video calls or the like and issue prescriptions as necessary. On the other hand, for physical medical treatments such as injections and infusions, patients need to go directly to a medical institution, and the cooperation between online medical treatment and visiting medical care has not been fully established.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an online medical treatment system via a virtual examination room, but does not disclose the technical configuration regarding a series of processes in which a visiting nurse goes to the patient's home to perform a specific medical treatment (for example, exosome injection) after the examination.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0016] [Figure 1] This is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2]It is a configuration diagram for explaining the flow of information between components of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] It is a flowchart showing an outline of a medical treatment flow using an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, the same elements in all the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations are omitted. Also, in the description in the text, the reference numerals described previously will be used as necessary.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system 10 according to the present invention. The information processing system 10 is a system that supports the implementation of home care based on online medical treatment, and is connected to a patient terminal 8, a doctor terminal 4, and a nurse terminal 6 via a network 2.

[0019] The information processing system 10 mainly includes a reservation processing unit 12, a medical treatment processing unit 14, an information transmission processing unit 16, a home care support processing unit 18, an information sharing processing unit 20, and a storage unit 22. Each of these processing units may be implemented by dedicated hardware or software operating on a general-purpose processor, or may be realized as a configuration distributed in a cloud environment.

[0020] These components may be implemented in a single physical device, or may be implemented in a cloud environment by a plurality of distributed devices. Each component may be realized as a software module operating on hardware such as a processor and a memory, or may be configured hardware-wise by a dedicated electronic circuit (ASIC, FPGA, etc.).

[0021] The information processing system 10 according to this embodiment is composed of a plurality of service modules (reservation processing module, medical treatment processing module, information transmission module, visit support module, information sharing module, etc.) implemented on a cloud server, and each module may be configured to operate distributively in a scalable container environment. As a result, medical staff and patients can access this service through a web browser or an application regardless of the terminal type.

[0022] The reservation processing unit 12 receives the medical treatment reservation information transmitted from the patient terminal 8 and executes the registration process to the virtual waiting room according to a predetermined schedule. As a result, the patient completes the reservation registration for participating in the subsequent online medical treatment.

[0023] The medical treatment processing unit 14 is connected to the doctor terminal 4 and is responsible for executing the process of online medical treatment in the virtual examination room. The online medical treatment is carried out using communication means such as video / audio calls or text chats, and the records related to the medical treatment are stored in the storage unit 22. The medical treatment processing unit 14 may be provided with a function of assisting in determining whether treatment by visit is necessary based on the information obtained during the medical treatment.

[0024] When it is determined in the medical treatment processing unit 14 that a visit treatment is necessary, the information transmission processing unit 16 performs the process of transmitting the patient's medical information and treatment instruction information to the nurse terminal 6. The information to be transmitted includes, in addition to the patient's name, address, and medical history, specific instructions such as the type, amount, and method of exosomes to be injected. [[ID=一三]]

[0025] The visit treatment support processing unit 18 performs the process of providing the nurse terminal 6 with the support information necessary for the nurse to visit the patient's home or the like for treatment. For example, the treatment procedure, the handling method of exosomes, the manual of the equipment used, safety precautions, etc. are provided to support the smooth implementation of the treatment. It is also involved in obtaining the treatment results implemented via dedicated equipment and confirming the completion of the treatment.

[0026] Furthermore, it is preferable that the dedicated equipment used by nurses be equipped with a communication function that records the status of exosome infusion (date and time of infusion, infusion amount, patient's vital signs, etc.) during or after the procedure and automatically transmits this information to the storage unit 22 of the information processing system 10. In this case, the communication is performed via a network 2 such as the Internet to a pre-configured cloud server.

[0027] The information sharing processing unit 20 performs processing that enables the bidirectional sharing of patient medical information, treatment instructions, treatment results, and other information between the physician terminal 4 and the nurse terminal 6. This allows the physician to grasp the completion status of treatments performed by nurses in real time and make decisions regarding additional instructions or follow-up observations as needed.

[0028] The memory unit 22 is a storage device that stores information handled by each of the processing units described above. Specifically, it records appointment information, patient information, medical history, treatment instructions, treatment completion reports, and so on. This information can be reused to improve the quality of medical services and as a reference for future medical treatment.

[0029] Figure 2 shows the functional coordination structure of each processing unit in the information processing system 10. The medical treatment processing unit 14 accesses patient information registered through the reservation processing unit 12 and performs online medical consultations. Based on the results of the consultations, the information transmission processing unit 16 outputs necessary treatment instructions to the nurse terminal 6. The home treatment support processing unit 18 provides manuals and points to note to support the nurse in performing treatments, and also plays a role in storing post-treatment data in the storage unit 22. The information sharing processing unit 20 plays a role in mutually sharing this series of data between the physician terminal 4 and the nurse terminal 6, ensuring the continuity of medical treatment.

[0030] Next, an information processing method using the information processing system 10 with the above configuration will be described. Figure 3 is a diagram showing an overview of the treatment flow using the information processing system 10 according to the present invention. As shown in this figure, the patient makes a medical appointment from the patient terminal 8 (step S2), and is registered in the virtual waiting room by the appointment processing unit 12 (step S4).

[0031] Subsequently, an online medical consultation is conducted in a virtual examination room using the physician's terminal 4 (step S6). The medical treatment processing unit 14 determines whether or not a home visit is necessary based on the medical treatment results (step S8), and if necessary, the information transmission processing unit 16 transmits information to the nurse's terminal 6 (step S10).

[0032] On the nurse terminal 6, preparations for the visit are made based on the received information, and the nurse visits the patient's home or other location to perform the exosome infusion procedure, referring to the support information (procedure procedures, precautions, etc.) provided by the home treatment support processing unit 18 (step S12).

[0033] As shown in Figure 3, once the exosome injection is performed by the nurse, the dedicated device automatically uploads the procedure completion information to the storage unit 22 and transmits it to the physician's terminal 4 via the information sharing processing unit 20. This allows the physician to understand the procedure completion status in real time and provide follow-up care as needed.

[0034] As described above, according to this embodiment, a series of processes, from patient appointment scheduling to online consultations, and even the implementation and reporting of home visits, are efficiently and consistently managed by the information processing system 10. As a result, patients can receive non-face-to-face and rapid medical services, and medical professionals can perform procedures smoothly and share information effectively.

[0035] It should be noted that the above configuration and processing flow are merely examples. For instance, the system could primarily use text chat as the means of communication between doctors and patients, or it could use blockchain technology to record medical records in an tamper-proof manner. Furthermore, it is possible to create a system that provides more advanced medical support by using AI technology in conjunction with the analysis of treatment results. [Explanation of Symbols]
