Abstract

A test data obtaining unit for obtaining pieces of medical test data used to generate a plurality of graphs; a reference test data specifying unit for specifying reference test data from among the pieces of medical test data; a similarity calculation unit for calculating similarity of variation of each of at least two pieces of non-reference test data among the pieces of medical test data other than the reference test data to variation of the reference test data; and a display control unit for displaying a reference graph based on the reference test data and non-reference graphs based on the at least two pieces of non-reference test data on the same coordinate axes are provided. The display control unit displays the at least two non-reference graphs with different levels of visibility depending on the similarity.

Claims

1. A graph display control device comprising:

a test data obtaining unit for obtaining pieces of medical test data used to generate a plurality of graphs;

a reference test data specifying unit for specifying reference test data from among the pieces of medical test data obtained by the test data obtaining unit;

a similarity calculation unit for calculating similarity of variation of each of at least two pieces of non-reference test data among the pieces of medical test data other than the reference test data to variation of the reference test data; and

a display control unit for displaying a reference graph based on the reference test data and non-reference graphs based on the at least two pieces of non-reference test data on the same coordinate axes,

wherein the display control unit displays the at least two non-reference graphs with different levels of visibility depending on the similarity.

2. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display control unit displays the non-reference graphs such that the non-reference graph having a higher similarity is displayed with a higher level of visibility.

3. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display control unit displays the non-reference graphs such that the non-reference graph having a lower similarity is displayed with a higher level of visibility.

4. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a display mode setting unit for setting a display mode, the display mode being switchable between a high similarity preferential display mode where the non-reference graph having a higher similarity is displayed with a higher level of visibility and a low similarity preferential display mode where the non-reference graph having a lower similarity is displayed with a higher level of visibility,

wherein the display control unit displays the non-reference graphs in the high similarity preferential display mode or the low similarity preferential display mode set at the display mode setting unit.

5. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the test data obtaining unit searches for and obtains, based on a display set data structure that associates a disease with a group of medical test items, medical test data of each medical test item of the display set data structure from pieces of medical test data stored in advance.

6. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the test data obtaining unit obtains medical test data that is searched for based on a desired search condition from pieces of medical test data stored in advance.

7. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the display control unit displays the at least two non-reference graphs with different levels of visibility by displaying the at least two non-reference graphs in different colors, in different densities or in different types of lines depending on the similarity.

8. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the test data obtaining unit obtains the pieces of medical test data that are linked to an electronic medical chart.

9. The graph display control device as claimed in claim 8, wherein the display control unit displays a content of the electronic medical chart.

10. A graph display control method comprising:

obtaining pieces of medical test data used to generate a plurality of graphs;

specifying reference test data from among the obtained pieces of medical test data;

calculating similarity of variation of each of at least two pieces of non-reference test data among the pieces of medical test data other than the reference test data to variation of the reference test data; and

displaying a reference graph based on the reference test data and non-reference graphs based on the at least two pieces of non-reference test data on the same coordinate axes, wherein the at least two non-reference graphs are displayed with different levels of visibility depending on the similarity.

11. A non-transitory recording medium containing a graph display control program for causing a computer to execute the steps comprising:

an obtaining step of obtaining pieces of medical test data used to generate a plurality of graphs;

a specifying step of specifying reference test data from among the obtained pieces of medical test data;

a calculating step of calculating similarity of variation of each of at least two pieces of non-reference test data among the pieces of medical test data other than the reference test data to variation of the reference test data; and

a displaying step of displaying a reference graph based on the reference test data and non-reference graphs based on the at least two pieces of non-reference test data on the same coordinate axes, wherein the at least two non-reference graphs are displayed with different levels of visibility depending on the similarity.
