<Function part>
The reception unit 211 receives a request for transportation of an animal patient (hereinafter referred to as a transportation request). The reception unit 211 receives a transportation request from the user terminal 10 . The transportation request contains a chief complaint for the animal patient. The chief complaint is the state of the animal patient 1 complained by the owner 2 . In this embodiment, it is assumed that the management server 2 transmits options for the main complaint to the user terminal 10, and the user terminal 10 selects the main complaint from the options. In addition to the chief complaint, the transport request may include an owner ID indicating the owner 2, an animal ID indicating the animal patient 1, and a medical institution ID indicating the veterinary medical institution. When the owner ID is not set in the transport request, the transport request receiving section 211 can read out the owner ID corresponding to the animal ID from the animal information storage section 232 . If the animal ID is not set in the transport request, the transport request receiving unit 211 can inquire of the user terminal 10 about the animal ID.

The reservation unit 213 can create transportation reservation information and register it in the transportation reservation information storage unit 239 . The reservation unit 213 can make a reservation with the current date and time set even when the mobile unit 3 is to be used immediately.

The reservation unit 213 identifies the animal species of the animal patient 1 from the animal information storage unit 232, reads out the conditions corresponding to the identified animal species and the received chief complaint from the condition storage unit 238, and reserves the moving body 3 that meets the conditions. can do. As a result, the animal patient 1 can be transported by the mobile body 3 that satisfies the size, functions, etc., according to the animal species of the animal patient 1 . For example, in the case of a vomiting animal patient, a vehicle 3 can be booked with flooring that can easily dispose of the vomit and with antiseptic chemicals and working tools. In addition, for an animal patient 1 who is open-mouthed, a mobile body 3 equipped with equipment capable of inhaling oxygen can be reserved.

The reservation unit 213 outputs the animal species, chief complaint, conditions, and the mobile body 3 that matches these to the veterinary medical institution terminal 30, and the veterinary medical staff designates the mobile body 3 to be finally reserved. You may accept it.

The chart information acquisition unit 214 acquires chart information corresponding to the animal patient 1 created by the veterinary medical institution. The management server 2 may include a database of medical chart information, or the medical chart information acquisition unit 214 may access an external server that manages medical chart information to acquire medical chart information. The medical chart information includes past judgments (diagnoses) by the veterinarian 6 on the animal patient 1, names of diseases with which the animal patient 1 is afflicted, and the like.

The reservation unit 213 extracts the diagnosis content included in the medical chart information corresponding to the animal patient 1, reads out conditions corresponding to the extracted diagnosis content in addition to the above-described animal species and chief complaint from the condition storage unit 238, A mobile unit 3 that matches the read conditions can be reserved. Thus, for example, when an animal patient 1 suffering from a particular disease is exhibiting a particular symptom, a mobile 3 equipped with necessary equipment can be reserved.

The treatment identification unit 215 identifies the treatment required during transportation of the animal patient 1 . The treatment identification unit 215 may identify the necessary treatment according to the chief complaint and/or the answer to the inquiry. The treatment identification unit 215 can also identify the necessary treatment based on the chart information in addition to or instead of the reply. Note that the treatment identification unit 215 can also output the response and/or the identified treatment to the veterinary medical institution terminal 30 and receive input of necessary treatment from the veterinary medical staff. It should be noted that the treatment identification unit 215 can also determine that no treatment is required for the moving body 3 .

The reservation unit 213 can reserve the mobile unit 3 having the function capable of performing the specified treatment. As a result, when the animal patient 1 requires, for example, oxygen inhalation or emergency surgery, it is possible to reserve the mobile unit 3 capable of performing the treatment.

The assigning unit 216 sets a medical worker who needs to ride with the moving body 3 to the reservation (transportation reservation information). The assignment unit 216 identifies the medical staff who can perform the treatment identified by the treatment identification unit 215 from the worker information storage unit 234, and sets the crew ID indicating the identified veterinarian in the transportation reservation information. can be done.

<Action>
FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the management server 20. As shown in FIG.

When the management server 20 receives a transportation request from the user terminal 10 of the owner 2 of the animal patient 1 (S301), the management server 20 asks the owner 2 about the animal patient 1 (S302). For example, the management server 20 identifies the animal species and breed corresponding to the animal ID of the transport request from the animal information storage unit 232, and asks questions corresponding to the identified animal species and breed and the medical institution ID set in the transport request. The content can be read out from the question information storage unit 236 and transmitted to the user terminal 10, and an answer to the question can be received from the user terminal 10. FIG.

The management server 20 acquires the medical record information of the animal patient 1 (S303), and specifies the necessary treatment during transportation of the animal patient 1 according to the acquired medical record information, the chief complaint and the result of the interview (response content) ( S304).

If a specific treatment is required (S305: YES), the management server 20 identifies a veterinary medical worker who can perform the treatment from the worker information storage unit 234 (S306). If no specific treatment is required (S305: NO), the management server 20 identifies a veterinary medical worker who rides with the moving body 3 based on a predetermined rule (S307).

The management server 20 reads the animal species and breed of the animal patient 1, the chief complaint, the answers to the medical questions, the chart information, the size conditions and the function conditions corresponding to the specified treatment, etc. from the condition storage unit 238 (S308). By creating transportation reservation information including a mobile body ID indicating a mobile body 3 that meets the conditions and function conditions and a crew ID indicating the specified veterinary care worker, and registering it in the transportation reservation information storage unit 235, the mobile body 3 can be reserved (S309).

As described above, according to the veterinary medical support system of the present embodiment, it is possible to arrange the appropriate moving body 3 according to the animal species, breed, condition, necessary treatment, and the like of the animal patient 1 .

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the above-described embodiment is intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit and interpret the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof.

For example, in the present embodiment, the condition of the moving object 3 is explicitly set in the condition storage unit 238, but this is not restrictive. can also be determined. In this case, the management server 20 can include a model storage unit that stores learning models. The learning model uses, for example, animal species, breed, chief complaint, various items included in medical record information, etc. as feature amounts, and the size and / or function of the moving body 3 determined by the staff of the veterinary medical institution as teaching data. It can be created and updated by performing machine learning. The reservation unit 213 can infer the type of the moving object 3 by giving the animal species and breed of the animal patient 1, the answer, and the medical record information to the learning model.
