Abstract

A health care apparatus includes a storage unit to store first, second and third information groups which are respectively sets of a plurality of schedule information pieces, biological system information pieces, and comment information pieces, and a controller to associate individual information pieces respectively included in the first, second, and third information groups with each other on the basis of coincidence or resemblance among words included in the individual information pieces, The controller displays the first, second, and third information groups respectively in first, second, and third areas of a screen on an output device connected to the controller. The controller accepts arbitrary one selected out of the individual information pieces included in the first, the second, or the third information group. The controller displays other individual information pieces associated with the selected individual information piece with emphasis.

Claims

1. A health care apparatus comprising:

a storage unit for storing a first information group which is a set of a plurality of schedule information pieces, a second information group which is a set of a plurality of biological system information pieces, and a third information group which is a set of a plurality of comment information pieces; and

a controller for associating individual information pieces included in the first information group, individual information pieces included in the second information group, and individual information pieces included in the third information group with each other on the basis of coincidence or resemblance among words included in the individual information pieces,

the controller displaying the first information group in a first area of a screen on an output device connected to the controller,

the controller displaying the second information group in a second area of the screen,

the controller displaying the third information group in a third area of the screen,

the controller accepting arbitrary one selected out of the individual information pieces included in the first information group, the second information group, or the third information group, and

the controller displaying other individual information pieces associated with the selected individual information piece with emphasis.

2. The health care apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller compares feature words of individual information pieces included in the first information group, feature words of individual information pieces included in the second information group, and feature words of individual information pieces included in the third information group with each other, and thereby associates the individual information pieces with each other.

3. The health care apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the controller acquires the feature words from an external database on the basis of the individual information pieces.

4. The health care apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller determines a weight at time when moving a figure which represents an individual information piece included in the second information group on the screen, and a display mode of the individual information piece included in the second information group, on the basis of a magnitude relation between a value of the individual information piece included in the second information group and a predetermined threshold.

5. The health care apparatus according to claim 4, wherein

the controller accepts a talk of a person who peruses the screen on the output device,

the controller compares words included in the accepted talk with the feature words of individual information pieces in the second information group, and acquires individual information pieces relating to the talk out of the second information group, and

the controller displays the acquired individual information pieces on the screen.

6. The health care apparatus according to claim 5, wherein

the storage unit stores a patient in association with a family to which the patient belongs,

the individual information piece is associated with the patient, and

the controller displays, on the screen perused by a patient belonging to a certain family, the individual information pieces concerning other patients belonging to the family.

7. The health care apparatus according to claim 6, wherein

the storage unit stores a plurality of trees which represent a case, typical biological information, and recommended actions hierarchically,

the controller accepts selection of the figure, and

the controller identifies a tree relating to an individual information piece represented by the figure accepted in selection out of the plurality of trees, and displays the identified tree on the screen.

8. The health care apparatus according to claim 7, wherein

the schedule information comprises a name and a unit price of a medicine taken by the patient,

the storage unit stores names and unit prices of a plurality of medicines every case,

the controller acquires a name and a unit price of a substitute medicine which is same in case as the taken medicine and which is lower in unit price than the taken medicine, and

the controller displays the acquired name and unit price of the substitute medicine in association with the taken medicine.

9. A health care method using a health care apparatus comprising a storage unit and a controller,

the storage unit storing a first information group which is a set of a plurality of schedule information pieces, a second information group which is a set of a plurality of biological system information pieces, and a third information group which is a set of a plurality of comment information pieces, and

the controller associating individual information pieces included in the first information group, individual information pieces included in the second information group, and individual information pieces included in the third information group with each other on the basis of coincidence or resemblance among words included in the individual information pieces,

the controller displaying the first information group in a first area of a screen on an output device connected to the controller,

the controller displaying the second information group in a second area of the screen,

the controller displaying the third information group in a third area of the screen,

the controller accepting arbitrary one selected out of the individual information pieces included in the first information group, the second information group, or the third information group, and

the controller displaying other individual information pieces associated with the selected individual information piece with emphasis.

10. A health care program for causing a health care apparatus to function,

the health care program causing a storage unit in the health care apparatus to store a first information group which is a set of a plurality of schedule information pieces, a second information group which is a set of a plurality of biological system information pieces, and a third information group which is a set of a plurality of comment information pieces;

and

the health care program causing a controller in the health care apparatus to associate individual information pieces included in the first information group, individual information pieces included in the second information group, and individual information pieces included in the third information group with each other on the basis of coincidence or resemblance among words included in the individual information pieces,

the health care program causing the controller to display the first information group in a first area of a screen on an output device connected to the controller,

the health care program causing the controller to display the second information group in a second area of the screen,

the health care program causing the controller to display the third information group in a third area of the screen,

the health care program causing the controller to accept arbitrary one selected out of the individual information pieces included in the first information group, the second information group, or the third information group, and

the health care program causing the controller to display other individual information pieces associated with the selected individual information piece with emphasis.
