Abstract

A medical information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry configured to acquire virtual medical consultation information generated by virtual medical consultation for a user from a digital twin hospital in a virtual space, wherein the virtual medical consultation is performed based on information regarding a real hospital corresponding to the digital twin hospital and medical-related information of the user, generate analysis information based on a plurality of pieces of the virtual medical consultation information acquired from a plurality of the digital twin hospitals, and present the analysis information to the user.

Claims (27)

1 . A medical information processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

acquire virtual medical consultation information generated by a virtual medical consultation for a user from a digital twin hospital in a virtual space, wherein the virtual medical consultation is performed based on information regarding a real hospital corresponding to the digital twin hospital and medical-related information of the user;

generate analysis information based on a plurality of pieces of the virtual medical consultation information acquired from a plurality of the digital twin hospitals; and

present the analysis information to the user.

2 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the analysis information is information for displaying treatment methods proposed by the plurality of digital twin hospitals in a comparable manner.

3 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the analysis information is information for graphically displaying treatment methods proposed by the plurality of digital twin hospitals in a descending order of the number of answers.

4 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the analysis information is information for displaying the plurality of digital twin hospitals in a comparable manner.

5 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the analysis information is information for graphically displaying the plurality of digital twin hospitals in a descending order of treatment results for a certain treatment method among the treatment methods proposed by the plurality of digital twin hospitals.

6 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the analysis information is information for displaying doctors belonging to real hospitals corresponding to the plurality of digital twin hospitals in a comparable manner.

7 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to extract at least one digital twin hospital that performs virtual medical consultation for the user among the plurality of digital twin hospitals set up in the virtual space based on a DTH selection condition and/or the medical-related information.

8 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to disclose the medical-related information only to a digital twin hospital permitted by the user among the plurality of extracted digital twin hospitals.

9 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to simultaneously disclose the medical-related information to the plurality of extracted digital twin hospitals.

10 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the medical-related information includes at least one of a main complaint, medical information, biological information, and behavior information of the user.

11 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the information regarding a real hospital includes information regarding medical resources owned by the hospital.

12 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the virtual medical consultation information includes a diagnosis result by the virtual medical consultation and information regarding medical service capable of being provided by a real hospital corresponding to the digital twin hospital.

13 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured not to disclose virtual medical consultation information acquired from a certain digital twin hospital to another digital twin hospital.

14 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user and/or the digital twin hospital are anonymized.

15 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a display configured to display the analysis information.

16 . The medical information processing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a storage to store the medical-related information.

17 . A medical information processing method comprising:

acquiring virtual medical consultation information generated by virtual medical consultation for a user from a digital twin hospital in a virtual space, wherein the virtual medical consultation is performed based on information regarding a real hospital corresponding to the digital twin hospital and medical-related information of the user;

generating analysis information based on a plurality of pieces of the virtual medical consultation information acquired from a plurality of the digital twin hospitals; and

presenting the analysis information to the user.

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, comprising:

acquiring virtual medical consultation information generated by virtual medical consultation for a user from a digital twin hospital in a virtual space, wherein the virtual medical consultation is performed based on information regarding a real hospital corresponding to the digital twin hospital and medical-related information of the user;

generating analysis information based on a plurality of pieces of the virtual medical consultation information acquired from a plurality of the digital twin hospitals; and

presenting the analysis information to the user.
