Abstract

The medical condition information storage unit contains the information related to the predetermined medical condition and the symptoms of the medical condition. The contact information storage unit contains the contact information related to the level of urgency. The screen configuration data storage unit contains the information related to the patient'"'"'s communication device based on the level of urgency. The symptoms of a particular medical condition and the measures to cope with the symptoms are selected based on the level of urgency of the patient'"'"'s medical condition. Accordingly, the screen configuration data of the patient'"'"'s communication device is generated.

Claims

1. A medical support system comprising:

a medical condition information storage unit that stores information related to a predetermined medical condition and symptoms specific to the medical condition in correspondence with a level of urgency;

a contact information storage unit that stores contact information in correspondence with the level of urgency;

a selecting unit that is used to select a symptom of a patient from the symptoms stored in the medical condition information storage unit; and

a contact information determining unit that determines the level of urgency of the patient based on the symptom selected using the selecting unit and extracts the contact information stored in the medical condition information storage unit based on the determined level of urgency.

5. The medical support system according to claim 1, wherein each screen configuration data is created so that the level of urgency or the symptoms is recognized visually.

6. The medical support system according to claim 1, wherein it is possible to display each screen configuration data that is created based on the level of urgency of the symptom or the symptom of the patient.

2. A medical support program that makes a computer function as:

a medical condition data storage unit that stores information of a medical condition and symptoms specific to the medical condition in correspondence with a level of urgency;

a screen configuration data storage unit that stores screen configuration data generated in correspondence with the level of urgency;

a screen configuration data generation unit that extracts symptoms of a patient based on input information and creates the screen configuration data in correspondence with the level of urgency of the extracted symptom; and

a transmitting unit that transmits the screen configuration data created by the screen configuration data generation unit, to a communication device used by the patient.

3. A method for providing medical support to a patient, comprising:

storing information related to predetermined medical condition, symptoms specific to the medical condition, and the remedial measure for the symptoms in correspondence with a level of urgency; and

extracting the symptom of the patient based on the information input about the patient.

4. A computer-readable recording medium that stores a medical support program that enables a computer to perform the functions of:

storing information of predetermined medical condition, symptoms specific to the medical condition, and the remedial measure for the symptoms in correspondence with the level of urgency; and

extracting the symptom of a patient based on the information input about the patient and creating a screen configuration data corresponding to the level of urgency of the symptom extracted.

7. A medical support system comprising:

a medical condition information storage unit that stores information related to a predetermined medical condition and the symptoms for specific medical conditions in correspondence with a level of urgency;

a contact information storage unit that stores contact information in correspondence with the level of urgency;

a selecting unit that is used to select at least one symptom of a patient from the symptoms stored in the medical condition data storage unit;

a contact information determining unit that determines a level of urgency based on the symptom selected using the selecting unit and extracts the contact information stored in the medical condition information storage unit based on the determined level of urgency;

a screen configuration storage unit that stores a screen configuration in correspondence with each level of urgency; and

a screen configuration extracting unit that extracts a screen configuration from the screen configurations stored in the screen configuration storage unit based on the level of urgency determined by the contact information determining unit.

8. The medical support system according to claim 7, wherein the screen configurations are created based on the level of urgency so that the symptom of the patient or the level of urgency can be recognized visually by a user.

9. The medical support system according to claim 7, wherein the screen configurations are created based on level of urgency so that the symptom of the patient or the level of urgency can be recognized visually by a user.
