More specifically, a screen in which each object is arranged at a position indicating the degree of risk that the target user will develop the target disease and the number of patients with the target disease (for example, a scatter diagram such as FIG. 5). Screen) HTML data is generated.

  The communication unit 130 is a communication interface provided to enable the health information providing server 10 to perform IP communication (network communication) with other devices.

(User terminal 30)
The user terminal 30 is a terminal used by the user to grasp the degree of risk of developing each disease related to the user.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the user terminal 30 includes a storage unit 310, a control unit 320, a communication unit 330, a display unit 340, and an operation reception unit 350.

  The storage unit 310 is a recording medium on which various programs (for example, a web browser program) are installed.

  The control unit 320 is a CPU that comprehensively controls the entire user terminal 30.

  The control unit 320 functions as a data acquisition processing unit 321 and a screen display processing unit 322 by executing a web browser program.

  When the data acquisition processing unit 321 receives an operation for causing the web browser program to access the URL (for example, an operation for inputting the URL into the web browser or an operation for clicking a link to the URL), data on the screen of the URL is received. (HTML data, image data, etc.) are acquired.

  The screen display processing unit 322 refers to the data acquired by the data acquisition processing unit 321 and displays the URL screen on the display unit 340.

  The communication unit 330 is a communication interface provided to enable the user terminal 30 to perform IP communication (network communication) with other devices.

In addition, although the pointing device 50 in this embodiment is a mouse | mouth, the pointing device 50 may be other types of pointing devices, such as a trackpad. Moreover, in this embodiment, although the user terminal 30 receives operation by a pointing device, the user terminal 30 is not limited to such a structure. For example, when a terminal such as a portable information terminal, a smartphone, or a tablet terminal is adopted as the user terminal 30, the user terminal 30 performs a touch operation on a touch panel provided on the user terminal 30 instead of an operation using a pointing device. You may come to accept.

(Inspection device 40)
As described above, the test apparatus 40 performs a genetic test using the sample of the target user, and calculates the degree of risk of developing each disease related to the target user from the result of the genetic test.

  The configuration of the health management system has been described above.

(About My Page on the site of genetic testing service)
Each screen on the My Page in the site of the genetic testing service includes tabs 501 to 504 and a user name 505 of the target user (“Taro Nihon” in the example of FIG. 5).

The tabs 501 to 504 will be briefly described as follows. When any of the tabs 501 to 504 is selected on the user terminal 30, the health information providing server 10 generates screen data corresponding to the selected tab.
Tab 501 ("Disease onset risk" tab): Tab for displaying the disease onset risk screen Tab 502 ("Constitution" tab): Information on the user's constitution (for example, hair quality, blood calcium concentration, etc.) Tab / tab 503 (“advice” tab) for displaying a screen including: Tab / tab 504 (“questionnaire” tab) for displaying a screen including advice regarding prevention of each disease (risk reduction of the onset of the disease) : Tab for displaying a questionnaire screen for answering a questionnaire (for example, a questionnaire related to lifestyle habits) or a screen including the contents of answers previously answered to the questionnaire (operation of the health management system)
Next, the operation of the health management system when the user terminal 30 receives an operation for accessing the URL of the disease onset risk screen will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram showing the operation.

(Step S101)
First, the data acquisition processing unit 321 of the user terminal 30 notifies the health information providing server 10 of the user ID via the communication unit 330. Specifically, the data acquisition processing unit 321 notifies the health information providing server 10 of an HTTP request including a URL of the disease onset risk screen and including the user ID.

  In addition, for example, when the cookie including the user ID is stored in the storage unit 310 when the user terminal 30 logs into the genetic testing service site, the data acquisition processing unit 321 includes, as the HTTP request, You may notify the HTTP request containing this cookie.

(Steps S102 and S103)
In the health information providing server 10 that has received the HTTP request, the user determination unit 121 extracts the user ID from the HTTP request data, and supplies the user ID to the screen data generation unit 122. Receiving the supply of the user ID, the screen data generation unit 122 transmits a command (for example, an SQL command) for referring to the onset risk information table to the health information management server 20 (step S102).

  The health information management server 20 that has received this command transmits the table information of the onset risk information table to the health information providing server 10 (step S103).

(Step S104)
In the health information providing server 10 that has received the table information, the screen data generation unit 122 reads a record corresponding to the user ID supplied from the user determination unit 121 from the onset risk information table, thereby providing a target corresponding to the user ID. Identify the onset risk for each disease of the user.

  For example, when the user ID notified in step S101 is “100001”, the screen data generation unit 122 reads the first record from the onset risk information table of FIG. Accordingly, the screen data generation unit 122 indicates that “the possibility that the target user is affected by the disease A is 1.6 times the average of the Japanese, and the possibility that the target user is affected by the disease B is 0. It is 9 times, and the possibility that the target user is affected by the disease C is twice the average of Japanese people.

(Steps S105 and S106)
After step S104, the screen data generation unit 122 transmits a command (for example, an SQL command) for referring to the statistical information of (c) of FIG. 4 to the health information management server 20 (step S105).

  Receiving this command, the health information management server 20 transmits the statistical information of FIG. 4C to the health information providing server 10 (step S106).

(Step S107)
In the health information providing server 10 that has received the statistical information of FIG. 4C, the screen data generation unit 122 identifies the number of patients for each disease by referring to the statistical information.

(Step S108: Data generation step)
After step S107, the screen data generation unit 122 displays the disease onset risk screen (specifically, “each object including the black circle 511 and the disease name 512” as shown in FIG. 5) Data of a screen arranged at a position indicating the degree of risk that the target user will develop the target disease).

  Here, the field of the disease onset risk screen is a field configured to increase the degree of onset risk and the number of patients with a disease that is a statistical value toward the upper right of the field.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the screen data generation unit 122 can distinguish between an object arranged in a specified range in the field and an object not arranged in the specified range in the field. It is desirable to generate the data of the risk onset risk screen configured as described above.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the disease onset risk screen has a prescribed range in the field (“the range where the number of patients is 8000 or more as shown in FIG. The display mode (for example, the background color) of the background portion may be different between a range defined by the union of a range that is twice or more of the human average and the other range in the field. Needless to say, the threshold of “8000 people” and the threshold of “twice the Japanese average” are merely examples.

  Further, the screen data generation unit 122 may be configured not to set the specified range.

(Step S109)
After step S108, the screen data generation unit 122 transmits the data generated in step S108 to the user terminal 30 of the target user. Specifically, the screen data generation unit 122 transmits an HTTP response including the HTML data generated in step S108 to the user terminal 30 of the target user.

(Step S110)
The data acquisition processing unit 321 of the user terminal 30 receives the HTTP response, and supplies the HTTP data included in the HTTP response to the screen display processing unit 322. The screen display processing unit 322 refers to the HTTP data supplied from the data acquisition processing unit 321 and displays a disease onset risk screen as illustrated in FIG. 5 on the display unit 340.

  The operation of the health management system when the user terminal 30 receives an operation for accessing the URL of the disease onset risk screen has been described above.

(About each object in the disease risk screen)
Below, each object in a disease onset risk screen is demonstrated, referring further FIG.7 and FIG.8. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another example of the disease onset risk screen displayed on the display unit 340 of the user terminal 30. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of another screen displayed on the display unit 340 of the user terminal 30.

  When the user moves the pointing device 50 so that the mouse cursor points to an object (specifically, a black circle 511 in the object), the screen display processing unit 322 may draw a balloon as shown in FIG. Update the disease risk screen. As shown in FIG. 7, the balloon indicates the value on the horizontal axis indicated by the position of the object pointed to by the mouse cursor (the average Japanese has the possibility that the target user will develop the target disease. (A value indicated as a comparison value with the possibility) and a value on the vertical axis indicated by the position of the object (a value indicating the number of patients with the disease).

  Further, when the user performs a click (that is, a specific operation of pressing the button of the pointing device 50 with a finger) when the mouse cursor is at a position indicating the object (specifically, the disease name 512 in the object). The data acquisition processing unit 321 notifies the health information providing server 10 of the HTTP request having the URL of the screen as shown in FIG. 8 and including the user ID of the target user. Thereafter, the data acquisition processing unit 321 acquires the corresponding HTTP response and supplies the HTML data included in the HTTP response to the screen display processing unit 322. Note that the specific operation may be an operation other than a click.

  As a result, the screen display processing unit 322 switches the screen displayed on the display unit 340 from the disease onset risk screen to a screen as shown in FIG. That is, the screen display processing unit 322 deletes the disease onset risk screen and displays detailed disease information indicating details of the target disease (the disease corresponding to the object pointed to by the mouse cursor).

  As can be understood from the above description, each object in the present embodiment is a UI object, but each object may not be a UI object. That is, each object may be any object as long as it is configured so that the user of the user terminal 30 can grasp which disease the object corresponds to.

(Appendix 1 of Embodiment 1)
In step S108, the health information providing server 10 may generate data on the disease onset risk screen as shown in FIG. 9 instead of the data on the disease onset risk screen as shown in FIG.

  That is, the disease onset risk screen may include a list of diseases that the target user is likely to develop in addition to the field in which the plurality of objects are arranged.

  As can be seen from FIG. 9, each of the plurality of elements constituting the list indicates a value (item name) indicating the name of a disease that is likely to develop by the target user and the degree of risk of the target user developing the disease. It is an element including a value (a value indicating the likelihood of onset compared to the average). Moreover, as can be seen from FIG. 9, the list is a list sorted in descending order of the degree of the onset risk.

(Appendix 2 of Embodiment 1)
In the first embodiment, the statistical information acquired from the health information management server 20 by the health information providing server 10 to generate the disease onset risk screen data is statistical information indicating the number of patients with each disease ((c) in FIG. 4). Statistical information).

  However, the present embodiment is not limited to such a configuration. The statistical information that the health information providing server 10 acquires from the health information management server 20 in order to generate the disease onset risk screen data may be the statistical information of FIG. ) Or other statistical information (for example, information indicating an approximate treatment cost of each disease).

  In order to generate the disease onset risk screen data, the health information providing server 10 sends all types of statistical information (for example, FIG. 4) held by the health information management server 20 from the health information management server 20. Three pieces of statistical information) may be acquired. In this case, the disease onset risk screen may be configured to switch the statistical information shown on the vertical axis to the statistical information selected by the target user from all types of statistical information. For example, the disease onset risk screen may be a screen in which UI parts (for example, buttons) for allowing the target user to perform such a selection operation are provided on the disease onset risk screen of FIG.

(Advantages of health information providing server 10)
The following can be said from the above description.

  That is, the health information providing server 10 includes a screen data generation unit 122 (data generation unit).

  The screen data generation unit 122 is a level of the onset risk calculated by referring to the genetic test result of the target user, and an axis indicating the level of the onset risk of each disease related to the target user is represented by the horizontal axis (first axis) ), And a disease onset risk screen in which a plurality of objects are arranged in a field drawn with the axis indicating the number of patients of each disease (statistical value regarding each disease) as the vertical axis (second axis), Data on the onset risk screen (HTML data transmitted to the user terminal 30) is generated.

  The disease onset risk screen is a screen in which an object corresponding to the disease is arranged at a position indicating the degree of the onset risk of the disease for the target user and a statistical value about the disease for each of the above diseases (that is, Screen as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, the health information providing server 10 has an effect that it is possible for the user of the user terminal 30 to intuitively grasp the degree of the onset risk for various diseases.

Further, the health information providing server 10 causes the service user to grasp statistical information about the disease (for example, an estimate of the cost for treating the disease) in addition to the degree of risk of developing the disease for each disease. be able to. Therefore, the health information providing server 10 can cause the service user to know more precisely which disease risk to pay attention than when only the degree of risk of developing the disease is transmitted.
