Abstract

An information processing system includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires patient information indicating a state of a patient who has visited a first institution or who has been examined by a person associated with the first institution; a determination unit that determines whether or not the patient information satisfies at least one of predetermined determination conditions; and a processing control unit that, when the patient information satisfies at least one of the determination conditions, performs a process for matching a second institution included in setting-origin institutions associated with the satisfied determination condition with the patient. Each of the predetermined determination conditions is a condition for determining whether a suspicion of a predetermined disease is correct or not, and is associated with a setting-origin institution that has set that determination condition.

Claims (44)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

acquire patient information indicating a state of a patient who has visited a first institution or who has been examined by a person associated with the first institution;

determine whether or not the patient information satisfies at least one of predetermined determination conditions; and

perform, when the patient information satisfies at least one of the determination conditions, a process for matching a second institution included in setting-origin institutions associated with the satisfied determination condition with the patient, wherein

each of the predetermined determination conditions is a condition for the patient information set by the setting-origin institutions for determining whether a predetermined disease is suspected or not, and is associated with the setting-origin institution that has set that determination condition,

the state of the patient indicated in the patient information indicates whether there is a symptom associated with a disease, or a degree of morbidity of the symptom,

the determination conditions include a closeness determination condition for determining whether or not a value indicating closeness of the patient information of the patient to that of a patient who was diagnosed to be suspected of having the predetermined disease in the past is smaller than a predetermined threshold, and

the closeness determination condition is satisfied when a distance calculated using a feature vector of the patient information is shorter than the predetermined threshold.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein when the patient information satisfies at least one of the determination conditions, the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to notify a terminal of the first institution of information about the second institution or transmit the patient information to a terminal of the second institution.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein when there is a plurality of setting-origin institutions associated with the satisfied determination condition, the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to select the second institution from among the plurality of setting-origin institutions based on registration information related to at least one of the patient, the first institution, and the setting-origin institution.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the patient information contains state analysis information generated by analyzing the state of the patient based on audio data or video data of the patient at a time of inquiry made by the person associated with the first institution.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

generate summary data that are obtained by cutting out a part related to the state analysis information from the audio data or the video data; and

transmit the summary data to a terminal of the first institution or a terminal of the second institution when the patient information satisfies at least one of the determination conditions.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the patient information contains information described in a medical record.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein

the determination conditions include a combination of individual determination conditions respectively related to a plurality of determination provisions, and

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to cause, when the patient information matches with at least one of the individual determination conditions related to some of the determination provisions of the determination condition, the first institution to output question information for determining an individual determination condition related to the remaining determination provisions.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

register, for each of the determination conditions, the determination condition in association with information about a setting-origin institution that has set the determination condition.

9 . An information processing method comprising:

acquiring patient information indicating a state of a patient who has visited a first institution or who has been examined by a person associated with the first institution;

determining whether or not the patient information satisfies at least one of predetermined determination conditions; and

when the patient information satisfies at least one of the determination conditions, performing a process for matching a second institution included in setting-origin institutions associated with the satisfied determination condition with the patient, wherein

each of the predetermined determination conditions is a condition for the patient information set by the setting-origin institutions for determining whether a predetermined disease is suspected or not, and is associated with the setting-origin institution that has set that determination condition,

the state of the patient indicated in the patient information indicates whether there is a symptom associated with a disease, or a degree of morbidity of the symptom,

the determination conditions include a closeness determination condition for determining whether or not a value indicating closeness of the patient information of the patient to that of a patient who was diagnosed to be suspected of having the predetermined disease in the past is smaller than a predetermined threshold, and

the closeness determination condition is satisfied when a distance calculated using a feature vector of the patient information is shorter than the predetermined threshold.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform:

acquiring patient information indicating a state of a patient who has visited a first institution or who has been examined by a person associated with the first institution;

determining whether or not the patient information satisfies at least one of predetermined determination conditions; and

when the patient information satisfies at least one of the determination conditions, performing a process for matching a second institution included in setting-origin institutions associated with the satisfied determination condition with the patient, wherein

each of the predetermined determination conditions is a condition for the patient information set by the setting-origin institutions for determining whether a predetermined disease is suspected or not, and is associated with the setting-origin institution that has set that determination condition,

the state of the patient indicated in the patient information indicates whether there is a symptom associated with a disease, or a degree of morbidity of the symptom,

the determination conditions include a closeness determination condition for determining whether or not a value indicating closeness of the patient information of the patient to that of a patient who was diagnosed to be suspected of having the predetermined disease in the past is smaller than a predetermined threshold, and

the closeness determination condition is satisfied when a distance calculated using a feature vector of the patient information is shorter than the predetermined threshold.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:

notify the first institution that the patient has been matched with the second institution; and

in response to an acceptance notification received from the first institution as a trigger, transmit the patient information to a terminal of the matched second institution for the patient, and dispatch reservation parameters to a scheduling server.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to extract the feature vector of the patient information from audio data or video data of the patient.

13 . The information processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising extracting the feature vector of the patient information from audio data or video data of the patient.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 10 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform extracting the feature vector of the patient information from audio data or video data of the patient.
