Abstract

The medical support apparatus according to the present embodiment comprises processing circuit configured to acquire interview information related to an adverse event predicted for a patient and supply the interview information to a patient terminal; and receive an interview result information, which is a patient's response result to the interview information, and evaluate a patient's adverse event based on the interview result information.

Claims (39)

1 . A medical support apparatus comprising:

processing circuit configured to

acquire interview information related to an adverse event predicted for a patient and supply the interview information to a patient terminal; and

receive an interview result information, which is a patient's response result to the interview information, and evaluate a patient's adverse event based on the interview result information.

2 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to supply information that represents an evaluation result of the patient's adverse event to a doctor system.

3 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to supply information that represents an evaluation result of the patient's adverse event to the patient terminal.

4 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

predict the patient's adverse event based on a patient's medical information stored in a memory, and

acquire interview information related to the predicted patient's adverse event.

5 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the adverse event is an unfavorable medical event that occurs to a patient.

6 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to generate the interview information that narrows down the adverse event and supply the interview information to the patient terminal when there are multiple candidates of the predicted adverse event.

7 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to supply the interview information to the patient terminal in response to an arrival of a predetermined time.

8 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to supply the interview information to the patient terminal in response to a request from the patient terminal.

9 . The medical support apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to supply to the patient terminal the medical information related with the adverse event in response to a time of receiving the request from the patient terminal.

10 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to determine how to handle the patient based on an evaluation result of the patient's adverse event.

11 . The medical support apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to distinguish a necessity of a doctor's action based on the evaluation result of the patient's adverse event,

when the doctor's action is necessary, notify a handling request to a doctor system, and

when the doctor's action is unnecessary, do not notify the handling request to the doctor system.

12 . The medical support apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

generate a patient condition information, based on the evaluation result of the patient's adverse event or an interview result information and/or a patient's medical information, and

supply and notify the handling request along with the patient condition information to the doctor system.

13 . The medical support apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to, when a doctor's response to the handling request has been received, determine how to handle the patient based on the doctor's response.

14 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

after supplying information that represents an evaluation result of the patient's adverse event to the patient terminal, in response to an arrival of a predetermined time, reacquire the interview information and resupply the interview information to the patient terminal, and

receive the interview result information about the interview information and re-evaluates the patient's adverse event based on the interview result information.

15 . The medical support apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to update information related to the adverse event based on the doctor's response.

16 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to update information related to the adverse event based on the patient's medical information or a doctor's update request.

17 . The medical support apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

distinguish whether the patient's medical information is updated or not, and

when the patient's medical information is updated, update information related to the adverse event based on the patient's medical information.

18 . The medical support apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to:

distinguish whether the doctor's update request has been received or not, and

when the doctor's update request has been received, update information related to the adverse event based on the doctor's update request.

19 . The medical support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuit is further configured to create a summary that summarizes information related to the patient condition, based on the evaluation result of the patient's adverse event and an interview result information for the interview information.

20 . A medical support system, comprising:

a medical support apparatus comprising a memory and processing circuit, wherein the processing circuit is configured to

acquire an interview information related to an adverse event predicted for a patient and supply the interview information to a patient terminal; and

receive an interview result information, which is an interview result of the patient to the interview information, and evaluate the patient's adverse event based on the interview result information; and

the patient terminal configured to receive interview information from the medical support apparatus and supply the interview result information about the interview information to the medical support apparatus.
