(First embodiment)
The support system according to the first embodiment is a system for supporting follow-up observation of an affected area of a patient by a doctor or the like. In the support system according to the present embodiment, in a place where there is no doctor or the like in home medical care or the like, the patient or the related person periodically takes an image of the affected part of the patient for the purpose of follow-up under the instruction of the doctor or the like. Do. The captured image is transmitted together with the accompanying information from the terminal used by the patient or the like to the terminal used by the medical staff, and the doctor or the like performs follow-up observation based on the captured image and the accompanying information. Hereinafter, medical personnel such as doctors are simply referred to as doctors. A person who performs an operation such as photographing an affected part of a patient or inputting incidental information is called a photographer. The photographer is assumed to be a person related to the patient, such as the patient himself / herself, a patient's family or a caregiver.

  In the present embodiment, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the person who photographs the affected part of the patient and the person who performs operations such as input of incidental information are the same person. Good. In this case, it is assumed that the person who photographs the affected area of the patient and the person who performs operations such as inputting incidental information are both the patient himself / herself and the person related to the patient. For example, the patient himself may take a picture, and the caregiver of the patient may input incidental information.

  FIG. 1 is an overall view of the support system. The support system includes a doctor device 100, a server device 110, and an imaging device 120. The doctor apparatus 100 is an information processing apparatus used by a doctor. Here, the doctor is an example of a user, and the doctor device 100 is an example of an external device used by the user. The doctor device 100 is installed, for example, in an examination room of a hospital. As another example, the doctor device 100 is a portable device, and may be carried by a doctor or the like in a hospital. The server device 110 is a device that manages information related to follow-up observation, and is assumed to be installed in a hospital in the same manner as the doctor device 100, for example. The imaging device 120 is a portable device used by a photographer, and is used, for example, at the home of a patient receiving home medical care. The doctor apparatus 100 and the server apparatus 110 and the imaging apparatus 120 and the server apparatus 110 can communicate with each other via a network. Note that the network may be either wired or wireless.

  The doctor apparatus 100 is a general information processing apparatus, and includes a CPU 101, a storage unit 102, a display unit 103, an input unit 104, and a communication unit 105. The CPU 101 reads the control program stored in the storage unit 102 and executes various processes. The storage unit 102 stores various information such as various information and seed programs. The display unit 103 displays various information. The input unit 104 has a keyboard and a mouse and accepts various operations by the user. The communication unit 105 performs communication processing with an external device via a network. Note that the functions and processing of the doctor apparatus 100 to be described later are realized by the CPU 101 reading a program stored in the storage unit 102 and executing the program.

  In the doctor apparatus 100, the CPU 101 creates an input format for inputting, for example, an imaging instruction or incidental information to be added to a captured image obtained according to the imaging instruction. Further, the input unit 104 is used, for example, for inputting information necessary for a doctor when creating an imaging instruction or an input format. The display unit 103 displays information necessary for creation, such as patient data and image data, for example, when creating an imaging instruction or an input format. For example, the communication unit 105 transmits a shooting instruction and an input format to the server device 110.

  The server device 110 is a general information processing device, and includes a CPU 111, a storage unit 112, a display unit 113, an input unit 114, and a communication unit 115. The processes of the CPU 111, the storage unit 112, the display unit 113, the input unit 114, and the communication unit 115 are the same as the processes of the CPU 101, the storage unit 102, the display unit 103, the input unit 104, and the communication unit 105 of the doctor device 100, respectively. . The storage unit 112 of the server device 110 stores, for example, imaging instructions and input templates received from the doctor device 100. The storage unit 112 also stores captured images and incidental information received from the imaging device 120. For example, the communication unit 115 receives an imaging instruction or an input template from the doctor apparatus 100. The communication unit 115 also receives a captured image and incidental information from the imaging device 120.

  The photographing apparatus 120 includes a CPU 121, a storage unit 122, a display unit 123, an input unit 124, a communication unit 125, and a photographing unit 126. The processing of the CPU 121, the storage unit 122, the display unit 123, the input unit 124, and the communication unit 125 is the same as the processing of the CPU 101, the storage unit 102, the display unit 103, the input unit 104, and the communication unit 105 of the doctor device 100, respectively. . The imaging unit 126 performs imaging. For example, the imaging unit 126 captures the affected area of the patient in accordance with an operation by the photographer to obtain a captured image. The display unit 123 displays a view, a captured image, an input template, and the like focused at the time of shooting. The photographing device 120 may be any device having a photographing function and a communication function, and examples thereof include a smartphone, a tablet, and a digital camera.

  FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating support processing by the support system. In S <b> 200, the CPU 101 of the doctor apparatus creates an input template for imaging instructions and incidental information based on information input to the input unit 104 by the doctor (template creation process). Next, in S <b> 201, the CPU 101 transmits the created shooting instruction and input template to the server device 110 via the communication unit 105. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a shooting instruction. The doctor inputs the patient name, the number of times of imaging (n-th time), the name of the instruction creator, the imaging region, and the imaging date and time via the input unit 104. The captured image is a sample of an ideal captured image of the imaging region, that is, an image showing the imaging region. The captured image is stored in advance in the doctor device 100, and the doctor selects a captured image that matches the captured image necessary for follow-up observation via the input unit 104.

  Then, the CPU 101 receives these pieces of information via the input unit 104 (acceptance process), and creates an imaging instruction including the patient name, the number of imaging (n-th), the instruction creator name, the imaging site, the imaging date and time, and the imaging image. To do. When receiving information related to the imaging instruction, the CPU 101 displays items such as “patient name”, “doctor name”, “part name”, and “date and time” as shown in FIG. Is displayed. Thereby, the doctor can complete the input of required information only by inputting each information along the displayed item. Note that the number and type of information included in the imaging instruction is not limited to the embodiment, but as described later, the information is referred to by the photographer. It is desirable that the information can be easily grasped to be taken.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of the input template 400 for incidental information. The input template 400 is a list of items that the photographer should explain about the affected area. When the input template 400 is created, the CPU 101 controls to display a list of items that can be added to the input template 400. Then, the doctor designates items to be added to the creation target input template 400 via the input unit 104. On the other hand, the CPU 101 receives an item designated by the doctor via the input unit 104 (acceptance process), and creates an input template including the item selected by the user. Note that the CPU 101 may create a new item and add it to the input template 400 in accordance with the doctor's input. Thereby, the doctor can set the item required in order to collect information required in follow-up observation to the input template 400 according to a patient's symptom etc. previously. Note that the input template 400 is attached to an image of an affected area taken for follow-up observation, and there can be a plurality of contents of the input template 400 for the same patient and the same affected area.

  In addition to the basic information 401, the input template 400 shown in FIG. 4 includes body temperature 402, pain 403, itching 404, medication / application 405, and a comment input field 406 as items to be input by the photographer. Items 402 to 406 are designated by a doctor according to symptoms and parts. Moreover, even if it is the same symptom and site | part, the information which a doctor wants to obtain may change according to a patient and elapsed time. Therefore, the CPU 101 may create a plurality of input templates 400 for one part of one patient.

  Further, the CPU 101 sets whether or not each item is a relative item in accordance with the doctor's input. Here, the relative items will be described. If the patient's subjectivity such as “pain” is expressed by a simple absolute evaluation, the patient has two values, “pain” and “no pain”, and “itch” is “ugly” and “ It is a binary value of “no itch”. Even if expressed in more detail, the patient can express only “somewhat painful” or “very painful”, and it is difficult for the patient to accurately determine subjective items in multiple stages. For example, it is assumed that the input to the subjective item is an absolute evaluation of three values of “no pain”, “slightly painful”, and “painful”. In this case, in the follow-up observation, the doctor can catch the change only when the pain changes from “pain” to “pretty pain” or when the pain changes from “pain” to “no pain”. This makes it difficult for doctors to capture detailed changes over time for items, and is insufficient as follow-up information.

  However, the patient can make a relatively easy determination if the relative value is a little more painful than the reference time, which is a certain point in the past, such as the previous time, and is similar to the reference time. As described above, an item that can be input with relative information compared with the reference time is a relative item while absolute evaluation is difficult. Note that when the doctor selects an item to be added to the input template 400, it is also set whether or not the selected item is a relative item. In response to this, the CPU 101 records information indicating whether the item is a relative item in association with the item added to the input template 400. For items that can be input with an effective absolute value, such as “body temperature”, the input information becomes useful information for the doctor. That is, “body temperature” is an item that does not require a relative comparison. The free comment input field is an item that cannot be compared relatively. As described above, an item that does not require a relative comparison or an item that cannot be compared does not correspond to a relative item.

  In addition, when the input template 400 is created, the CPU 101 sets a use condition for using the input template 400 together with the input template 400. Note that in this embodiment, information on the patient name, the number of times of imaging, the name of the instruction creator, the imaging region, and the imaging date and time indicated in the imaging instruction is set as a use condition.

  Returning to FIG. 2, when the server apparatus 110 receives the imaging instruction and the input template via the communication unit 115, the server apparatus 110 advances the process to S <b> 202. In S202, the CPU 111 of the server apparatus 110 waits until the transmission timing of the shooting instruction. Here, it is assumed that the transmission timing is predetermined in relation to the shooting date and time, such as a predetermined time before the shooting date and time indicated in the shooting instruction. When the CPU 111 reaches the transmission timing (Yes in S202), the process proceeds to S203. In S <b> 203, the CPU 111 transmits the imaging instruction received from the doctor apparatus 100 in S <b> 201 to the imaging apparatus 120 via the communication unit 115.

  When the CPU 121 of the photographing apparatus 120 receives a photographing instruction via the communication unit 125 in S203, the process proceeds to S204. In step S204, the CPU 121 sets the operation mode to the affected part imaging mode. Here, the affected part photographing mode is a mode for photographing an image for follow-up observation. Next, in S205, the CPU 121 controls shooting by the shooting unit 126 based on the shooting instruction (shooting control process). Specifically, the CPU 121 instructs the photographing unit 126 to perform photographing according to the photographing instruction in accordance with the photographer's instruction. On the other hand, the photographing unit 126 performs photographing, and the CPU 121 obtains a photographed image. Note that when photographing an affected area, the CPU 121 can utilize various photographing support functions such as alignment and color adjustment as appropriate. Thereby, even when a person other than a medical worker such as a doctor takes a picture, it is possible to obtain a photographed image having the same quality as when the medical worker takes a picture.

  Next, in S206, the CPU 121 transmits an input template transmission request to the server apparatus 110 together with the captured image obtained in S205. It is assumed that the transmission request includes the patient name, the number of imaging, the instruction creator name, the imaging region, and the imaging date / time included in the imaging instruction corresponding to the captured image. When the CPU 111 of the server apparatus 110 receives the input template transmission request and the captured image from the imaging apparatus 120 via the communication unit 115 in S206, the CPU 111 advances the process to S207.

  In S <b> 207, the CPU 111 of the server apparatus 110 specifies the imaging part from the captured image. Specifically, the CPU 111 examines the closeness of the captured image and the captured image included in the capturing instruction by image analysis, and when the approximateness is equal to or greater than a certain value, the captured region corresponding to the captured image is captured. Specify as the imaging part. The CPU 111 further specifies an input template by referring to information on a patient name, the number of times of imaging, an instruction creator name, an imaging region and an imaging date and time included in the transmission request. As a result, the CPU 111 can identify the input template received together with the shooting instruction corresponding to the shot image received in S206, that is, the input template received in S201. In S208, the CPU 111 of the server apparatus 110 transmits the input template specified in S207 to the imaging apparatus 120 via the communication unit 115.

  As another example, the CPU 121 of the imaging device 120 may specify the imaging region from the captured image. In this case, the CPU 121 sends a transmission request including the identified imaging region and the patient name, imaging frequency, instruction creator name, imaging region and imaging date / time included in the imaging instruction corresponding to the imaging image to the communication unit 125. To the server device 110 via Then, the CPU 111 of the server apparatus 110 may identify an input template related to the transmission request and transmit the identified input template to the imaging apparatus 120 via the communication unit 115.

  When the CPU 121 of the imaging device 120 receives an input template via the communication unit 125 in S208, the process proceeds to S209. In step S209, the CPU 121 displays the input template on the display unit 123 (display control process). In the present embodiment, the CPU 121 displays a shot image preview screen on the display unit 123 after the process of S205. In step S209, the CPU 121 superimposes and displays the input template on the preview screen. Next, in S210, the CPU 121 receives information for each item according to an input by the photographer via the input unit 124 (accepting process). The processing of S209 and S210 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the preview screen 500 displayed in S209 on which the input template is superimposed. On the preview screen 500, a captured image 501 is displayed. Furthermore, the input template 520 and the previous incidental information 510 previously input are superimposed on the captured image 501. The previous incidental information 510 includes information for each item input during the previous follow-up observation. Here, the information input at the time of the previous follow-up observation is an example of information (input value) that has been input last time. As described above, in the present embodiment, the CPU 121 controls to display the previous incidental information 510 together with the input template 520 for the purpose of input support to the input template 520. As the input template 520, the CPU 121 displays each item and input buttons 521, 522, and 523 for accepting input for the item in association with each other. In the example of FIG. 5, the items of pain and itch are relative items, and graph icons 524 and 525 are displayed in association with these items. In addition, the user can identify whether each item is a relative item by the presence or absence of the graph icons 524 and 525. That is, the CPU 121 displays the input template so that it can be identified whether or not the item is a relative item.

  When the graph icons 524 and 525 are displayed by the user, a graph screen for inputting the value of each item is displayed. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a graph screen 600 for inputting a relative value of pain. The graph screen 600 shows past pain values, and the patient moves the point 601 for current input up and down based on the comparison with the past pain values. As a result, a relative value with respect to the previous pain level is input. In response to such a user operation, the CPU 121 accepts a relative value for a value that has been input in the past as information for the relative item.

  In follow-up observations, the relative comparison results with previous observations such as the previous time are useful information, and the support system according to the present embodiment prompts the patient to input such useful information. Can do. In addition, about the input to the comment column of body temperature or free description, CPU121 receives a normal character input. As described above, the support system can obtain information useful for the doctor simply by inputting the patient along the input template displayed on the display unit 123 and the graph screen.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a preview screen 500 after the input to each item of the input template is completed. As shown in FIG. 7, after the input is completed, the CPU 121 displays character information 700, 701 corresponding to the relative value of the relative item input as a relative value and a graphic 710 such as an arrow in association with the item. Control. Thereby, the patient can confirm the input contents together with the character information and the graphic. Furthermore, when the graph icons 524 and 525 are selected again after the input is completed, the CPU 121 controls to display a graph screen including the relative value input this time. Therefore, the photographer can confirm more detailed changes with time.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that an input of a relative value based on already input information (value) input at the previous follow-up observation is accepted. However, the reference information may be any information that has already been input, and is not limited to the previous follow-up observation, such as the follow-up observation for a certain period of time or the previous follow-up observation.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the CPU 121 advances the process to S211 after the process of S210. In step S <b> 211, the CPU 121 records the input template that has been input and the captured image in association with each other in the storage unit 122. Here, the input template that has been input includes the incidental information that is newly input. Next, the CPU 121 associates the input template that has been input with the captured image, and transmits it to the server apparatus 110 via the communication unit 125.

  When the CPU 111 of the server device 110 receives the input template and the captured image that have been input in S212, the process proceeds to S213. In step S213, the CPU 111 records the input template that has been input and the captured image in association with each other in the storage unit 112 (recording process). Next, in S <b> 214, the CPU 111 transmits a completion notification, which is character information indicating that imaging based on the imaging instruction is completed, to the doctor apparatus 100 via the communication unit 115. When receiving the completion notification in S214, the CPU 101 of the doctor apparatus 100 advances the process to S215. In step S <b> 215, the CPU 101 displays a completion notification on the display unit 103. As another example, the completion notification may be audio information. In this case, the CPU 101 outputs an audio information completion notification from a speaker (not shown).

  The doctor can know that the imaging has been completed by the completion notification. Furthermore, the doctor apparatus 100 can receive a captured image and incidental information input this time from the server apparatus 110 and display them according to the operation of the doctor. The doctor can also check images and supplementary information and supplement information necessary for follow-up observation. Furthermore, after the confirmation by the doctor, a completion notification that the doctor has completed the follow-up observation may be transmitted to the imaging apparatus 120 via the server apparatus 110.

  As described above, in the support system according to the present embodiment, it is possible to input information useful for the doctor even when the photographer does not have medical knowledge. Furthermore, information useful for follow-up observation can be provided to the doctor. That is, in the support system according to the present embodiment, when a person who is not a medical worker photographs an affected part for the purpose of follow-up observation, information useful for follow-up observation can be obtained together with the captured image.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a support system according to the second embodiment will be described. In the support system according to the second embodiment, the server apparatus 110 captures a special input template (special input template) that is recorded in advance when there is a sudden change in the affected part to be monitored. Send to. Hereinafter, the difference between the support system according to the second embodiment and the support system according to the first embodiment will be described.

  In the support system according to the second embodiment, in S207, the CPU 111 of the server device 110 further compares the previously captured image with the current captured image obtained in S205. Note that this comparison processing is to determine whether or not there is a change beyond the threshold in the appearance features such as the state of the affected part, that is, size and color, by a general image analysis technique (determination processing). When there is a change greater than or equal to the threshold value, there is a sudden change in the affected area. Therefore, when it is determined that there is a change greater than or equal to the threshold, the CPU 111 collects information necessary for a sudden change in a symptom outside the doctor's expectation as an emergency instead of the input template created by the doctor. Specify a special input template. Then, the CPU 111 transmits this to the photographing apparatus 120. In step S209, the image capturing apparatus 120 displays a special input template instead of the normal input template.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the special input template 800. The information to be extracted from the patient when a sudden change is seen in the affected area is often different from the follow-up when the affected area changes within the range expected by the doctor. Based on this, the doctor operates the doctor device 100 to prepare an emergency template in preparation for a sudden change, that is, a special input template 800 in advance. The doctor device 100 transmits the special input template to the server device 110, and the server device 110 stores the received special input template in the storage unit 112.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the special input template 800 is provided with a more specific symptom description input field and additional items than the normal input template. When the special input template is displayed on the display unit 123 of the photographing apparatus 120, the photographer inputs necessary supplementary information along the display content of the special input template. When receiving an input from the photographer, the CPU 121 of the imaging device 120 associates the input special input template with the captured image and transmits the associated special input template to the server device 110 via the communication unit 125.

  Further, in the second embodiment, when the CPU 111 of the server apparatus 110 receives the special input template in S213, the CPU 111 of the server apparatus 110 sets the completion notification transmitted in S214 as a completion notification different from the normal completion notification. Thereby, the doctor can grasp | ascertain that the sudden change of the affected part was seen. Note that the completion notification different from the normal completion notification includes, for example, a size and color type different from the normal completion notification. Further, when the completion notification is sound information, examples of the completion notification different from the normal completion notification include a river whose type of sound is different from that of the normal completion notification. The completion notification different from the normal completion notification is not particularly limited as long as the doctor draws more attention. The remaining configuration and processing of the support system according to the second embodiment are the same as the configuration and processing of the support system according to the first embodiment. As described above, in the support system according to the second embodiment, more detailed incidental information can be provided to the doctor when a sudden change in the affected area is recognized.
