Abstract

[Object] An object of the present invention is to provide a medicine research information collection form capable of organizing contents of a plurality of collected medicine research information collection forms into a database with good efficiency.

[Solving Means] The present invention relates to a medicine research information collection form 20 for medicine research requiring statistical processing for verifying validity of research results obtained from electronic input information generated based on handwritten information on a medicine research case. The medicine research information collection form 20 of the present invention is a sheet of paper having a printed position encoding pattern P for deciding a coordinate position of an electronic pen 10 on the paper. Furthermore, the sheet of paper has a printed item for handwriting or selecting information on medicine research such as a clinical trial.

Claims

1. A medicine research information collection system for collecting medicine research information, comprising:

a medicine research information collection form in which there are displayed coordinate position deciding means for deciding a coordinate position on an input face, an item capable of handwriting or selecting at least the medicine research information in a field of the input face, a start check box to be checked when the medicine research information starts to be written, and an end check box to be checked when the writing of the medicine research information is completed;

a handwriting device which is constituted to be capable of handwriting the medicine research information in the input face and which is capable of transmitting an input start signal in response to the checking of the start check box, transmitting an input end signal in response to the checking of the end check box, and transmitting identification information for identifying each handwriting device, when the handwritten medicine research information is computerized and transmitted based on the coordinate position deciding means;

a database device including;

handwriting device identification information storage means for storing beforehand the identification information of each handwriting device;

identification information receiving means for receiving the identification information transmitted from the handwriting device; and

a database which starts input of the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device based on the input start signal transmitted from the handwriting device and which completes the input of the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device based on the input end signal transmitted from the handwriting device and which accumulates the received medicine research information; and

handwriting device identification means for judging whether or not the identification information received by the identification information receiving means agrees with the identification information stored beforehand in the handwriting device identification information storage means to thereby identify the handwriting device which has transmitted the medicine research information.

5. The medicine research information collection system according to claim 1, wherein the database device comprises:

correction judgment means for judging whether or not the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device corrects the medicine research information already stored in the database; and

correction information storage means for storing the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device as corrected medicine research information in the database in a case where the correction judgment means judges that the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device corrects the medicine research information already stored in the database.

6. The medicine research information collection system according to claim 1, wherein the database device comprises:

statistical processing means for statistically processing the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device.

7. The medicine research information collection system according to claim 1, wherein the database device comprises:

a primary database device which primarily stores the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device; and

a fixed database device which stores the medicine research information stored in the primary database device as fixed information.

2-4. -4. (canceled)

8-15. -15. (canceled)

16. A medicine research information collection program which allows a disposed in a medicine research information collection device to execute:

an input start step of starting input of medicine research information transmitted from a handwriting device based on an input start signal transmitted from the handwriting device, when a start check box disposed in an input face of a medicine research information collection form is checked;

an input end step of completing the input of the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device based on an input end signal transmitted from the handwriting device, when an end check box disposed in the input face of the medicine research information collection form is checked;

a handwriting device identification information storing step of storing beforehand identification information of each handwriting device;

an identification information receiving step of receiving identification information transmitted from the handwriting device; and

a handwriting device judging step of judging whether or not user identification information received in the identification information receiving step agrees with the identification information stored beforehand in the handwriting device identification information storing step to thereby identify the handwriting device which has transmitted the medicine research information.

19. The medicine research information collection program according to claim 16, which allows the computer disposed in the medicine research information collection device to execute:

a correction judging step of judging whether or not the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device corrects the medicine research information already stored in a database; and

a correction information storing step of storing the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device as corrected medicine research information in the database in a case where the correction judging step judges that the medicine research information transmitted from the handwriting device corrects the medicine research information already stored in the database.

20. The medicine research information collection program according to claim 16, which allows the computer disposed in the medicine research information collection device to execute:

a statistical processing step of statistically processing the medicine research information accumulated in the database.
