Abstract

There is provided an information processor apparatus including an obtainment unit obtaining food product information related to a determination target food product that is a subject of contraindication determination, a comparison unit identifying, based at least on a drug, a contraindication database including information indicating a contraindication ingredient that is contraindicated with the drug, and the food product information, whether or not the determination target food product contains the contraindication ingredient of the drug that a user takes, and an alert notifying unit issuing an alert notification of a contraindicated combination of the drug and the contraindication ingredient in response to an identification result of the comparison unit.

Claims

1. An information processor apparatus comprising:

an obtainment unit obtaining food product information related to a determination target food product that is a subject of contraindication determination;

a comparison unit identifying, based at least on a drug, a contraindication database including information indicating a contraindication ingredient that is contraindicated with the drug, and the food product information, whether or not the determination target food product contains the contraindication ingredient of the drug that a user takes; and

an alert notifying unit issuing an alert notification of a contraindicated combination of the drug and the contraindication ingredient in response to an identification result of the comparison unit.

2. The information processor apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the contraindication database further includes information indicating a contraindication food product that possibly includes the contraindication ingredient,

the obtainment unit obtains a food image obtained by capturing an image of the determination target food product or voice corresponding to a food product name of the determination target food product as the food product information,

the information processor apparatus further includes a food identifying unit identifying the determination target food product based on the food product information, and

the comparison unit identifies whether or not the determination target food product contains the contraindication ingredient by comparing an identification result of the food identifying unit with the contraindication database.

3. The information processor apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

when the identification result of the determination target food product identified by the food identifying unit is not correct, the comparison unit identifies whether or not the determination target food product contains the contraindication ingredient by comparing the information indicating the determination target food product input by the user with the contraindication database.

4. The information processor apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising:

a display control unit displaying a food ingredient check screen when the comparison unit identifies that the determination target food product is included in the contraindication food product of the drug that the user takes in the contraindication database, the food ingredient check screen having input through a selection operation whether or not the contraindication ingredient that is an ingredient of the identified contraindication food product is contained in the determination target food product,

wherein the alert notifying unit issues the alert notification in response to an input operation in the food ingredient check screen.

5. The information processor apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising:

a database obtainment unit obtaining the contraindication database.

6. The information processor apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising:

a record unit recording the contraindication database.

7. The information processor apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a communication unit transmitting the food product information, and receiving an identification result of the determination target food product based on the food product information, the identification result being transmitted in response to the transmission of the food product information,

wherein the comparison unit identifies whether or not the determination target food product contains the contraindication ingredient by comparing the identification result of the determination target food product with the contraindication database.

8. The information processor apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the obtainment unit obtains information indicating a food ingredient of the determination target food product as the food product information, and

the comparison unit identifies whether or not the food ingredient of the determination target food product is included in the contraindication database as the contraindication ingredient of the drug that the user takes.

9. An information processing method comprising:

obtaining food product information related to a determination target food product that is a subject of contraindication determination;

identifying, based at least on a drug, a contraindication database including information indicating a contraindication ingredient that is contraindicated with the drug, and the food product information, whether or not the determination target food product contains the contraindication ingredient of the drug that a user takes; and

issuing an alert notification of a contraindicated combination of the drug and the contraindication ingredient in response to an identification result of whether or not the contraindication ingredient is contained.

10. A program for causing a computer to execute processes, the processes including

obtaining food product information related to a determination target food product that is a subject of contraindication determination,

identifying, based at least on a drug, a contraindication database including information indicating a contraindication ingredient that is contraindicated with the drug, and the food product information, whether or not the determination target food product contains the contraindication ingredient of the drug that a user takes, and

issuing an alert notification of a contraindicated combination of the drug and the contraindication ingredient in response to an identification result of whether or not the contraindication ingredient is contained.

11. An information processor apparatus comprising:

a record unit recording at least a drug, a combination database including information indicating a contraindication ingredient that is contraindicated with the drug and user medication history information on the drug that a user takes;

a generation unit generating a contraindication database including information indicating the drug that the user takes and the contraindication ingredient of the drug based on the combination database and the user medication history information; and

a communication unit transmitting the contraindication database.

12. The information processor apparatus according to claim 11, wherein

the combination database and the contraindication database further include information indicating a contraindication food product that possibly includes the contraindication ingredient.

13. The information processor apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising:

a food identifying unit identifying a determination target food product that is a subject of contraindication determination based on food product information on the determination target food product,

wherein the communication unit receives the food product information and transmits an identification result of the determination target food product based on the food product information.

14. An information processing method comprising:

generating, based on at least a drug, a combination database including information indicating a contraindication ingredient that is contraindicated with the drug and user medication history information on the drug that a user takes recorded in the record unit, a contraindication database including information indicating the drug that the user takes and the contraindication ingredient of the drug; and

transmitting the contraindication database.

15. A program for causing a computer to execute processes, the processes including

generating, based on at least a drug, a combination database including information indicating a contraindication ingredient that is contraindicated with the drug and user medication history information on the drug that a user takes recorded in the record unit, a contraindication database including information indicating the drug that the user takes and the contraindication ingredient of the drug, and

transmitting the contraindication database.
