Abstract

An operation information analysis device according to the present invention includes: a medical information input section for inputting various kinds of medical information during an operation from a system controller; a data storage section for adding time information such as a time stamp to the various kinds of medical information during the operation, and for constructing databases specified for each medical procedure by making the various kinds of medical information into files for each kind of medical information and storing the databases; a data analysis section for analyzing the medical information which is stored in the data storage section and which is formed into the databases, for each medical procedure; an analysis condition input section for inputting various information to the data analysis section; and a display device for displaying results of analysis performed by the data analysis section.

Claims

1. An operation information analysis device comprising:

an information input section for inputting plural pieces of instrument information of plural medical instruments and plural pieces of biomedical information;

an information storage section for adding time information to the plural pieces of instrument information and the plural pieces of biomedical information, that are inputted by the information input section, and for classifying and storing the plural pieces of instrument information and the plural pieces of biomedical information in association with predetermined codes, as information to be analyzed;

a comparison information input section for inputting comparison information to be compared with the information to be analyzed; and

an information analysis section for analyzing the information to be analyzed by comparing the information to be analyzed with the comparison information.

2. The operation information analysis device according to claim 1,

wherein the comparison information is threshold value information for extracting predetermined changes for each piece of the information to be analyzed.

3. The operation information analysis device according to claim 2,

wherein when the predetermined changes occur at a same time zone based on the time information, in the previously specified plural pieces of information to be analyzed, the information analysis section extracts the time zone as an analysis event period.

4. The operation information analysis device according to claim 3,

wherein the information analysis section displays the extracted analysis event period as an event occurrence area on a screen of a display device.

5. The operation information analysis device according to claim 4,

wherein the information analysis section expands the display of the plural pieces of information to be analyzed during the analysis event period on the screen, in the time axis direction in accordance with predetermined instruction information.

6. The operation information analysis device according to claim 4,

wherein the plural pieces of instrument information include image information, and

wherein the information analysis section extracts the image information at the occurrence time of the predetermined changes on the basis of the time information, and displays the extracted image information as a thumbnail image on the screen.

7. The operation information analysis device according to claim 5,

wherein the plural pieces of instrument information include image information, and

wherein the information analysis section extracts the image information at the occurrence time of the predetermined changes on the basis of the time information, and displays the extracted image information as a thumbnail image on the screen.

8. The operation information analysis device according to claim 6,

wherein the image information is an endoscopic image captured by an endoscope.

9. The operation information analysis device according to claim 8,

wherein the predetermined codes are codes about medical procedures.

10. The operation information analysis device according to claim 7,

wherein the image information is an endoscopic image captured by an endoscope.

11. The operation information analysis device according to claim 10,

wherein the predetermined codes are codes about medical procedures.

12. An operation information analysis method comprising:

inputting plural pieces of instrument information of plural medical instruments and plural pieces of biomedical information;

adding time information to the inputted plural pieces of instrument information and the inputted plural pieces of biomedical information, and classifying and storing the plural pieces of instrument information and the plural pieces of biomedical information in association with predetermined codes, as information to be analyzed; and

analyzing the information to be analyzed by comparing the information to be analyzed with comparison information to be compared with the information to be analyzed.

13. An operation information analysis device comprising:

a data recording section for recording output state data including operation instrument data outputted from medical instruments, in association with identification mark data for identifying each treatment performed by the medical instruments, the identification mark data being inputted from a bookmark input section; and

a display processing section for comparably displaying first output state data representing the output state data and the identification mark data that are recorded in the data recording section, on a same time base, and second output state data representing other output state data and other identification mark data that are recorded beforehand in the data recording section, on the same time base.

14. The operation information analysis device according to claim 13,

wherein the display processing section is capable of displaying previously recorded reference output state data, previously recorded output state data of a different operator, or other output state data of a same operator that are recorded at different date and time, as the second output state data.

15. The operation information analysis device according to claim 14,

wherein the same time base is a time base of elapsed time from start of an operation.

16. The operation information analysis device according to claim 15,

wherein the display processing section displays the first output state data and the second output state data in graph in accordance with the same time base.

17. The operation information analysis device according to claim 16,
