Description

  The present invention relates to a system for preventing diseases that are transmitted by contact with a patient.

  In recent years, epidemics of infectious diseases having strong infectivity have been reported. These infections include AIDS (AIDS: acquired immune deficiency syndrome), SARS (SARS: severe acute respiratory syndrome), Ebola hemorrhagic fever, and the like.

  Such infectious diseases cause serious damage unless the route of infection is identified at an early stage and measures are taken to prevent spread. However, since the patient moved from the time of the infection to the time when the patient was isolated, it was extremely difficult to identify who may have contacted the patient.

  In this regard, a system that discloses medical information via the Internet has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it is difficult to specify what kind of infectious disease the person making the inquiry has been in contact with.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the infectious disease prevention system of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the infection prevention system according to the present embodiment includes a CPU 11, a memory 12, and a patient database 13 that stores a mobile phone number that is an identifier of a person contacted by a patient and a contact date and time. A center server 10; and user terminals 30 and 40 connected to the center server via a communication line 20.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the structure of a patient database (hereinafter, the database is referred to as DB) 13. As shown in FIG. 2, the patient DB 13 includes an identification table 201 and a contact table 202, for example. The identification table 201 stores the patient identifier uniquely assigned to the patient, the patient's disease name, and the severity of the patient's medical condition. The contact table 202 stores the mobile phone number and contact date of the person who made the contact.

  The patient DB 13 may further store one or more of a contact person's attribute, hospital name, disease name, examination date, examination result, examination result, and contact person's mail address.

  When the center server 10 receives contact information including the mobile phone number and contact date of the contacted person from the user terminals 30 and 40, the center server 10 stores the contact information in the patient DB 13.

  When the center server 10 receives a blank mail from the user terminals 30 and 40, the center server 10 reads the sender's mail address from the blank mail, uses the sender's mail address as the patient's identifier, and the cellular phone of the person that the patient contacts. Is the dummy data, and the contact date and time is written in the patient DB 13 as the reception date and time of the empty mail.

  When the center server 10 receives a report mail reporting contact from the user terminals 30 and 40, the center server 10 reads the sender's mail address from the report mail, uses the sender's mail address as the patient identifier, and the patient contacts The mobile phone number of the person who made the call is read, the contact date is read, and written in the patient DB 13.

  When the test result is positive, the center server 10 transmits a warning mail to the mail address of the person who has contacted. In addition, the center server 10 transmits a secure email to the email address of the person who has contacted when the test result is negative.

  The user terminals 30 and 40 can update the patient DB 13 via the center server 10, and can download information stored about itself from the center server 10.

  Thus, the information written in the patient DB 13 can be viewed by the user himself / herself and the administrator or the person who obtained the permission of the user himself / herself. This facilitates user self-management.

  The user terminals 30 and 40 can also send and receive downloaded data to and from the third party user terminals 30 and 40. That is, when the user terminal is a mobile phone, it can be transmitted / received by the infrared communication function, and when the user terminal is a personal computer, it can be transmitted / received by the mail or file transfer function.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart regarding the transmission of the warning mail and the secure mail. As shown in FIG. 3, in step S <b> 401, the center server 10 inputs a mail instruction from the user terminals 30 and 40.

  In step S402, the center server 10 searches the patient DB 13 using the identifier as a key, and reads the examination result.

  In step S403, the center server 10 determines whether the test result is positive. If it is positive, the process proceeds to step S404, and if it is not positive, the process proceeds to step S406.

  In step S404, the center server 10 searches the patient DB 13 for the identifier and reads the mail address of the person who has contacted.

  In step S405, the center server 10 transmits a warning mail to the read mail address, and ends the process.

  The warning mail contains the date and time of contact with the patient, the name of the infectious disease, and a warning text. In addition, the link of the inspection organization may be described.

  In step S406, the center server 10 determines whether the test result is negative. If negative, the process proceeds to step S407, and if not negative, the process ends.

  In step S407, the center server 10 searches the patient DB 13 for an identifier, and reads the mail address of the person who made the contact.

  In step S <b> 408, the center server 10 transmits a secure mail in which it is safe to read to the read mail address, and ends the process.

  Further, in the infectious disease prevention system of the present embodiment, the patient DB 13 further stores a list of persons that may be contacted, and the center server 10 has contacted the user terminal 30 or 40 selected from the list. When the contact information including the identifier of the person and the contact date / time is received, the contact information can be stored in the patient DB 13.

  That is, it is possible to save time and effort of input by storing, as a list, things that are likely to come in contact and frequently, such as family members, friends, and workers. Furthermore, the persons stored in this list can be ranked and stored according to the contact frequency or the like.

  By registering in advance in this list, it is possible to store in the patient DB 13 the person who has contacted by empty mail or one click and the contact date and time without inputting the personal name of the other party. For this reason, a user's input operation can be completed by only one operation.

  In addition, the infectious disease prevention system according to the present embodiment can be configured to permit the list to be opened to specific user terminals 30 and 40 when the patient DB 13 receives a transmission instruction from the user terminals 30 and 40. .

  With this configuration, when an infectious disease having a strong infectivity is confirmed, it is possible to send a warning to a person on the list as an emergency action.
