Abstract

A diagnosis delivering method including a physical-information storing step of storing, in a physical-information storing server, a set of physical information obtained from a patient by a physical-information obtaining institution, a physical-information sending step of sending the set of physical information stored in the physical-information storing server at the physical-information storing step, to a doctor'"'"'s terminal device operable by a doctor so that the doctor makes a diagnosis on the patient based on the physical information, and a diagnosis delivering step of delivering the diagnosis made by the doctor based on the physical information sent at the physical-information sending step, to a patient'"'"'s terminal device operable by the patient and connected to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device via a communication line.

Claims

1. A diagnosis delivering method comprising:

a physical-information storing step of storing, in a physical-information storing server, a set of physical information obtained from a patient by a physical-information obtaining institution;

a physical-information sending step of sending the set of physical information stored in the physical-information storing server at the physical-information storing step, to a doctor'"'"'s terminal device operable by a doctor so that the doctor makes a diagnosis on the patient based on the physical information; and

a diagnosis delivering step of delivering the diagnosis made by the doctor based on the physical information sent at the physical-information sending step, to a patient'"'"'s terminal device operable by the patient and connected to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device via a communication line.

3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the physical-information storing step comprises adding the current set of physical information obtained from the patient by the physical-information obtaining institution, to at least one past set of physical information obtained from the patient in past and stored in the physical-information storing server, and

wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending the current set of physical information and the past set of physical information, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

4. A method according to claim 1, further comprising a standard-physical-information storing step of receiving a set of standard physical information obtained from the patient in a home of the patient, and sent from the patient'"'"'s terminal device to the physical-information storing server, and adding the received set of standard physical information to the set of physical information stored in the physical-information storing server,

wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending the set of physical information, and the set of standard physical information added at the standard-physical-information storing step, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

5. A method according to claim 3, wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending at least one set of physical information specified by a specifying signal sent from the doctor'"'"'s terminal device, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

9. A method according to claim 4, wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending at least one set of physical information specified by a specifying signal sent from the doctor'"'"'s terminal device, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

2. A diagnosis delivering method comprising:

a physical-information storing step of storing, in a physical-information storing server, a set of physical information obtained from a patient by a physical-information obtaining institution;

a physical-information sending step of sending the physical information stored in the physical-information storing server at the physical-information storing step, to a doctor'"'"'s terminal device operable by a doctor so that the doctor makes a diagnosis on the patient based on the physical information;

a diagnosis storing step of storing the diagnosis made by the doctor based on the physical information sent at the physical-information sending step, in a diagnosis storing server to which a patient'"'"'s terminal device operable by the patient is connectable; and

a diagnosis delivering step of delivering, according to a diagnosis-request signal sent from the patient'"'"'s terminal device, the diagnosis stored in the diagnosis storing server at the diagnosis storing step, to the patient'"'"'s terminal device.

7. A method according to claim 2, wherein the physical-information storing step comprises adding the current set of physical information obtained from the patient by the physical-information obtaining institution, to at least one past set of physical information obtained from the patient in past and stored in the physical-information storing server, and

wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending the current set of physical information and the past set of physical information, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

8. A method according to claim 2, further comprising a standard-physical-information storing step of receiving a set of standard physical information obtained from the patient in a home of the patient, and sent from the patient'"'"'s terminal device to the physical-information storing server, and adding the received set of standard physical information to the set of physical information stored in the physical-information storing server,

wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending the set of physical information, and the set of standard physical information added at the standard-physical-information storing step, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

10. A method according to claim 7, wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending at least one set of physical information specified by a specifying signal sent from the doctor'"'"'s terminal device, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

11. A method according to claim 8, wherein the physical-information sending step comprises sending at least one set of physical information specified by a specifying signal sent from the doctor'"'"'s terminal device, to the doctor'"'"'s terminal device.

6. A diagnosis storing server for storing a diagnosis made by a doctor based on physical information obtained from a patient by a physical-information obtaining institution, and delivering the diagnosis to a patient'"'"'s terminal device operable by the patient, according to a diagnosis-request signal sent from the patient'"'"'s terminal device.
