Abstract

A medical tool work support system, a medical tool work support method, and a medical tool work support program alleviate a workload on a user. The medical tool work support system includes a display, a memory that stores data indicating a work procedure on a medical tool in a work step to be performed for surgery using the medical tool, and a display controller that causes the display to display the work procedure based on the data stored in the memory.

Claims (43)

1. A medical tool work support system that supports a work on a medical tool in a work step using the medical tool, the work step being a step to be performed for surgery using the medical tool, the step to be performed for surgery including at least one of collecting the medical tool after the surgery, cleaning the medical tool after the surgery, assembling the medical tool after the cleaning, sterilizing the medical tool after the assembly, and storing the medical tool after the sterilizing, the medical tool work support system comprising:

a display;

a memory that stores data indicating a work procedure on the medical tool in the work step; and

a display controller that causes the display to display the work procedure based on the data stored in the memory, wherein

the memory stores video data regarding the work procedure;

the display controller is configured or programmed to cause the display to display a video based on the video data;

the medical tool includes at least a first member and a second member positioned relative to the first member;

the second member relative to the first member; and

the display controller is configured to cause the display to display the positioning procedure based on the video data.

2. The medical tool work support system according to claim 1 , wherein the video data includes an illustration.

3. The medical tool work support system according to claim 1 , wherein

the memory stores still image data of an illustration indicating the work procedure; and

the display controller is configured or programmed to cause the display to display a still image based on the still image data.

4. The medical tool work support system according to claim 3 , wherein the still image includes a cross-sectional view of the medical tool.

5. The medical tool work support system according to claim 3 , wherein the still image includes an enlarged view of the medical tool.

6. A medical tool work support system that supports a work on a medical tool in a work step using the medical tool, the work step being a step to be performed for surgery using the medical tool, the step to be performed for surgery including at least one of collecting the medical tool after the surgery, cleaning the medical tool after the surgery, assembling the medical tool after the cleaning, sterilizing the medical tool after the assembly and storing the medical tool after the sterilizing, the medical tool work support system comprising:

a display;

a memory that stores data indicating a work procedure on the medical tool in the work step; and

a display controller that causes the display to display the work procedure based on the data stored in the memory, wherein

the memory stores video data regarding the work procedure;

the display controller is configured or programmed to cause the display to display a video based on the video data;

the medical tool includes a manipulator and an operator that operates in conjunction with an operation by the manipulator;

the work procedure is a work procedure of operating the operator by the manipulator; and

the display controller is configured or programmed to cause the display to display the work procedure based on the video data.

7. A medical tool work support system that supports a work on a medical tool in a work step using the medical tool, the work step being a step to be performed for surgery using the medical tool, the step to be performed for surgery including at least one of collecting the medical tool after the surgery, cleaning the medical tool after the surgery, assembling the medical tool after the cleaning, sterilizing the medical tool after the assembly, and storing the medical tool after the sterilizing, the medical tool work support system comprising:

a display;

a memory that stores data indicating a work procedure on the medical tool in the work step; and

a display controller that causes the display to display the work procedure based on the data stored in the memory, wherein

the data includes main work data indicating details of one or more main works included in the work step and detailed work data indicating details of one or more detailed works of each of the main works;

the medical tool work support system further comprising a selector that selects whether the details of the detailed work data are displayed or not; and

the display controller causes the display to display the details of the main work data and to display the details of the detailed work data depending on selection by the selector.

8. The medical tool work support system according to claim 7 , wherein a display based on the main work data includes a portion represented in a first color and a display based on the detailed work data includes a portion represented in a second color different from the first color.

9. The medical tool work support system according to claim 8 , wherein

one of the main works is set as a quality priority work; and

a display based on main work data of the main work set as the quality priority work includes a portion represented in a third color different from the first color and the second color.

10. The medical tool work support system according to claim 9 , wherein

a display based on the main work data of the main work set as the quality priority work includes a checker that is pressed when the main work is completed;

the medical tool work support system further comprises a detector that detects whether the checker is pressed or not; and

the display controller is configured or programmed such that when the detector does not detect that the checker is pressed, the display controller does not cause the display to display a detail of the main work data of another main work next to the main work set as the quality priority work or does not cause the display to provide a completion display.

11. The medical tool work support system according to claim 7 , wherein the detailed work data includes video data.

12. The medical tool work support system according to claim 11 , wherein the video data is data indicating a positioning procedure of, in assembling a plurality of parts of the medical tool, positioning one of the plurality of parts relative to another of the plurality of parts.

13. The medical tool work support system according to claim 7 , wherein the detailed work data includes illustration data indicating a cross-sectional view or an enlarged view of the medical tool.

14. The medical tool work support system according to claim 7 , wherein the detailed work data includes photograph data.
