操作者は、入力部320から患者情報、脱毛治療の施術条件を入力することができる。入力部320は、患者写真を取得できるようにカメラを備えていてもよい。たとえば、第1のクライアント端末300として、タブレット情報端末を用いる場合には、附属のカメラを用いて患者を撮影することで、患者写真を取得することができる。入力部320は、例えば、キーボード、マウス、ジョイスティック、タッチパネル、スイッチボックス、音声を含む音や音を受信するマイク、特定のジェスチャーを受け付ける装置である。第1のクライアント端末300としてタブレット情報端末を用いる場合には、入力部320が表示部310に表示されるGUIに統合されていることが好ましい。例えば、タッチパネルを含んで構成される表示部310に表示されるGUI上のボタンをタッチすることで、操作者は各種の情報を入力することができる。
The operator can input patient information and treatment conditions for hair loss treatment from the input unit 320. The input unit 320 may include a camera so that a patient photograph can be acquired. For example, when a tablet information terminal is used as the first client terminal 300, a patient picture can be obtained by taking a picture of the patient using the attached camera. The input unit 320 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, a touch panel, a switch box, a sound including a voice or a microphone that receives a sound, and a device that receives a specific gesture. When a tablet information terminal is used as the first client terminal 300, it is preferable that the input unit 320 is integrated with the GUI displayed on the display unit 310. For example, the operator can input various information by touching a button on the GUI displayed on the display unit 310 including a touch panel.
表示切替部330は、表示部310に表示される情報の切替えを行うことができる。具体的には、複数の施術計画が情報処理装置200で生成された場合に、複数の施術計画は選択可能に表示される。操作者は、表示切替部330により、表示部310に表示させる施術計画を選択することができる。
The display switching unit 330 can switch the information displayed on the display unit 310. Specifically, when a plurality of treatment plans are generated by the information processing device 200, the plurality of treatment plans are displayed in a selectable manner. The operator can select the treatment plan to be displayed on the display unit 310 by the display switching unit 330.
確定部340は、表示部310に表示される計画などを確定する情報を入力する入力手段である。表示切替部330と確定部340は、第1のクライアント端末300上にボタンなど配置することで構成することができる。また、表示切替部330ならびに確定部340は、入力部320と共通のハードウェアを用いて実現してもよい。第1のクライアント端末300として、タブレット情報端末を用いた場合に、表示部310に表示されるGUI上のボタンに機能を割り当てることができる。
The confirmation unit 340 is an input unit for inputting information for confirming a plan displayed on the display unit 310. The display switching unit 330 and the confirmation unit 340 can be configured by arranging buttons or the like on the first client terminal 300. Further, the display switching unit 330 and the confirmation unit 340 may be realized by using the hardware common to the input unit 320. When a tablet information terminal is used as the first client terminal 300, a function can be assigned to a button on the GUI displayed on the display unit 310.
カウンセリング情報承認部350は、表示部310に表示されたカウンセリング情報ならびに照射条件を、施術担当者が確認・承認したことを、通信部360を介して情報処理装置200内のインターロック制御部222に伝える。インターロック制御部222は、カウンセリング情報承認部350より信号を受信すると、送信部212を介して、光脱毛装置100の照射制御部120にロック解除の信号を送信することで、照射部110からレーザー光を照射することが可能となる。つまり、照射制御手段である照射制御部120は、提示された照射条件を施術担当者が承認した場合を除き、照射部110からの光の照射を制限している。施術担当者が照射条件を承認していることは、承認情報入力手段であるカウンセリング情報承認部350を通じてシステムに入力できる。
The counseling information approval unit 350 informs the interlock control unit 222 in the information processing apparatus 200 via the communication unit 360 that the person in charge of the operation confirms and approves the counseling information and the irradiation conditions displayed on the display unit 310. Tell. Upon receiving the signal from the counseling information approval unit 350, the interlock control unit 222 transmits a lock release signal to the irradiation control unit 120 of the photoepilation device 100 via the transmission unit 212 so that the irradiation unit 110 emits the laser light. It becomes possible to emit light. In other words, the irradiation control unit 120, which is the irradiation control unit, limits the irradiation of light from the irradiation unit 110, unless the person in charge of surgery approves the presented irradiation conditions. The fact that the person in charge of the operation approves the irradiation conditions can be input to the system through the counseling information approval unit 350 which is an approval information input means.
第2のクライアント端末400は、主に患者が操作する端末である。そのため、第2のクライアント端末400からは、光脱毛装置100に対する制御指示ができないように構成されることが好ましい。このようにすることで、患者は第2のクライアント端末400を通じて施術計画を確認できる一方で、光脱毛装置100の動作を制御することが禁止されているために、安全性を担保することができる。第2のクライアント端末400は、表示部410、入力部420、確定部430、および通信部440を有する。
The second client terminal 400 is a terminal mainly operated by a patient. Therefore, it is preferable that the second client terminal 400 is configured so as not to issue a control instruction to the photoepilation device 100. By doing so, the patient can confirm the treatment plan through the second client terminal 400, but on the other hand, since it is prohibited to control the operation of the photo epilation device 100, the safety can be ensured. .. The second client terminal 400 has a display unit 410, an input unit 420, a confirmation unit 430, and a communication unit 440.
第2のクライアント端末400は、表示部410に表示される画面を、第1のクライアント端末300と同様のカウンセリング情報を入力する入力画面に表示を切り替えることができる。また、施術計画生成部223により作成された施術計画を確認するための計画確認画面などに表示を切り替えられるようにしてもよい。第2のクライアント端末400の操作者は、表示部410上の表示を確認し、確定部430で表示内容を確定することができる。
The second client terminal 400 can switch the screen displayed on the display unit 410 to an input screen for inputting counseling information similar to that of the first client terminal 300. The display may be switched to a plan confirmation screen for confirming the treatment plan created by the treatment plan generation unit 223. The operator of the second client terminal 400 can confirm the display on the display unit 410 and confirm the display content by the confirmation unit 430.
また、第2のクライアント端末400の機能を第1のクライアント端末300に担わせることも可能である。一例として、第1のクライアント端末300において、施術担当者、医師、カウンセリング担当者などが固有のIDとパスワードによる認証を行った場合のみ、光脱毛装置100への制御指示が可能な動作モードとして動作させてもよい。認証がなされない場合には、患者操作モードとして動作させることができる。患者操作モードは、第1のクライアント端末300から光脱毛装置100に対する制御指示は行えない動作モードである。なお、操作者の認証は、IDとパスワードの入力以外にも、顔認識、指紋認識などの生体情報を用いた認証方法で行われてもよい。第1のクライアント端末300および第2のクライアント端末400は、照射条件を表示する表示手段でもある。
Also, the function of the second client terminal 400 can be assigned to the first client terminal 300. As an example, the first client terminal 300 operates as an operation mode in which a control instruction can be given to the photoepilation device 100 only when a practitioner, a doctor, a counselor, etc. authenticate with a unique ID and password. You may let me. If the authentication is not performed, the patient operation mode can be operated. The patient operation mode is an operation mode in which a control instruction cannot be given to the photoepilation device 100 from the first client terminal 300.

図4Aは、カウンセリング情報入力画面の例を示す図である。
FIG. 4A is a diagram showing an example of a counseling information input screen.
図4Aでは、カウンセリング情報として、アレルギーの有無、皮膚炎の有無、体質、持病、服薬中の薬、脱毛経験、完了希望日、施術部位、脱毛レベル、および痛み許容レベルが表示される。このほか、患者情報としての氏名と、施術条件としてのレーザー光の照射条件が表示される。操作者は、患者から聞き取ったカウンセリング情報を項目ごとに記入していく。脱毛部位は、脱毛を行う患者の身体の部位を意味する。ここで脱毛レベルとは、患者が望む脱毛の度合いのことを表す。痛み許容レベルとは、患者が施術時に痛みをどれだけ耐える気持ちがあるかの指標を表す。図4Bに示すように、操作者は、画面上の選択ボタン▽を押下して表示されたプルダウンリストから部位を選択することができる。同様に、脱毛レベル561(図4C)、痛み許容レベル571(図4D)もそれぞれ選択ボタンを押して表示されたブルダウンリストから選択することができる。脱毛レベル561および痛み許容レベル571は、脱毛部位ごとに入力可能となっており、操作者がプルダウンリストから脱毛部位551を選択すると、選択された部位に対応付けられて入力された脱毛レベル561および痛み許容レベル571が表示される。ここで示した脱毛レベル561は一例であり、例えば毛量や毛密度などで表現してもよい。このような場合、患者が理解しやすい表現で脱毛レベルを入力できるように、脱毛レベルの表現を切り替えるための切り替えボタンなどをGUIとして提供してもよい。痛み許容レベルも同様である。
In FIG. 4A, as counseling information, the presence or absence of allergies, the presence or absence of dermatitis, constitution, chronic illness, medication under medication, hair loss experience, desired completion date, site to be treated, hair loss level, and pain allowance level are displayed. In addition, the name as the patient information and the irradiation condition of the laser light as the treatment condition are displayed. The operator fills in the counseling information heard from the patient for each item. Hair loss site refers to the area of the patient's body where hair is removed. Here, the hair loss level represents the degree of hair loss desired by the patient. The pain tolerance level represents an index of how much the patient is willing to endure the pain during the treatment. As shown in FIG. 4B, the operator can select a part from the pull-down list displayed by pressing the selection button ▽ on the screen. Similarly, the hair loss level 561 (FIG. 4C) and the pain allowance level 571 (FIG. 4D) can be respectively selected from the pull-down list displayed by pressing the selection button. The hair loss level 561 and the pain allowance level 571 can be input for each hair loss site. When the operator selects the hair loss site 551 from the pull-down list, the hair loss level 561 input in association with the selected hair loss site The pain allowable level 571 is displayed. The hair loss level 561 shown here is an example, and may be expressed by, for example, the amount of hair or the hair density. In such a case, a switching button or the like for switching the expression of the hair loss level may be provided as a GUI so that the patient can input the hair loss level in an expression that is easy for the patient to understand. The pain tolerance level is similar.
患者が施術を希望する脱毛部位550と、各脱毛部位550に関する脱毛レベル560、痛み許容レベル570の入力を行った後、確認ボタンを押下すると、入力されたカウンセリング情報が患者情報DB1に送られ、データベース内の患者情報が更新される。さらに、入力されたカウンセリング情報は施術情報DB2にも送られ、データベースから、入力された条件に適した施術情報が検索、抽出される。施術情報DB2から抽出された情報は第1のクライアント端末300に送られ、グレーアウトされている照射条件580の欄に抽出された照射条件が表示される。操作者は、画面540上に表示された施術条件を患者に提示し、患者の同意を得る。施術担当者は、患者の同意を得た後に、第1のクライアント端末300の表示部310上に表示された施術担当590の欄にサインを行う。患者は、自身が希望する脱毛レベルと痛み許容レベルが反映された施術条件になっていることを把握できるため、施術に対する安心感が向上する。最後に、施術担当者が確認ボタンを押下すると、カウンセリング情報の承認信号が光脱毛装置100に送られ、施術を開始することができる。なお、図4Aには、提示された照射条件を変更することができない例を示しているが、操作者が変更することができるようにしてもよい。その場合には、情報処理装置200から提示された照射条件が変更されると、その旨を操作者に通知するようにすることが好ましい。たとえば、表示領域542にメッセージを表示したり、画面全体を明滅させたり、操作者が確認ボタンを押下した後にメッセージを表示させたりしてもよい。つまり、クライアント端末が通知手段としての機能も持つ。
After the patient inputs the hair loss site 550 that he/she desires to perform, the hair loss level 560 and the pain allowance level 570 relating to each hair loss site 550, when the confirmation button is pressed, the input counseling information is sent to the patient information DB1. The patient information in the database is updated. Further, the inputted counseling information is also sent to the treatment information DB 2, and the treatment information suitable for the inputted condition is searched and extracted from the database. The information extracted from the treatment information DB 2 is sent to the first client terminal 300, and the extracted irradiation condition is displayed in the grayed out irradiation condition 580 column. The operator presents the treatment condition displayed on the screen 540 to the patient and obtains the patient's consent. After obtaining the consent of the patient, the person in charge of the operation signs the column of the person in charge of operation 590 displayed on the display unit 310 of the first client terminal 300. Since the patient can understand that the treatment condition reflects the hair loss level and the pain tolerance level that the patient desires, the sense of security for the treatment is improved. Finally, when the person in charge of operation presses the confirmation button, an approval signal of the counseling information is sent to the photoepilation device 100, and the operation can be started. Note that FIG. 4A shows an example in which the presented irradiation condition cannot be changed, but the operator may be allowed to change it. In that case, when the irradiation condition presented by the information processing apparatus 200 is changed, it is preferable to notify the operator of the change. For example, a message may be displayed in the display area 542, the entire screen may be blinked, or the message may be displayed after the operator presses the confirmation button. That is, the client terminal also has a function as a notification means.
ここでは詳細は説明しないが、クライアント端末の表示領域540において施術計画タブを選択すると、施術計画生成部223が生成した施術計画に関する情報が表示される。より具体的には、施術を実施する日の候補、施術の終了時期などが、施術計画に関する情報として表示される。
Although not described in detail here, when the treatment plan tab is selected in the display area 540 of the client terminal, information regarding the treatment plan generated by the treatment plan generation unit 223 is displayed. More specifically, the candidates for the day to perform the treatment, the end time of the treatment, and the like are displayed as information regarding the treatment plan.
本実施形態では、第1のクライアント端末300から入力されたカウンセリング情報に応じた施術条件を情報処理装置200が第1のクライアント端末300上に提示する。施術担当者は、提示された施術条件について患者の同意を得た上で施術条件を確定することができる。光脱毛装置100は、施術担当者による確認を経て、照射制御部120による施術条件の設定がなされる。そのため、本実施形態に係るシステムに依れば、従来の装置と比較してより適切にレーザー光の照射条件を設定することが可能になる。
In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 200 presents the treatment condition according to the counseling information input from the first client terminal 300 on the first client terminal 300. The person in charge of operation can confirm the operation condition after obtaining the consent of the patient regarding the presented operation condition. In the photoepilation device 100, the treatment condition is set by the irradiation control unit 120 after confirmation by the person in charge of treatment. Therefore, according to the system according to the present embodiment, it becomes possible to more appropriately set the irradiation condition of the laser light as compared with the conventional device.
図5は、本発明にかかる脱毛治療の概要フローである。
FIG. 5 is a schematic flow of hair loss treatment according to the present invention.
ステップS421は、施術目標を決定するステップである。施術業者の担当者は、患者(第一の患者)の希望を聞き取り、施術目標を決める。言い換えると、本ステップは、カウンセリング情報の取得を行うステップである。施術目標として、患者から聞き取る内容の例は、脱毛部位、脱毛の程度、希望する施術期間(施術を終了する時期の希望)、希望予算等である。患者から聞き取った情報は、第1のクライアント端末300を用いて入力される。第1のクライアント端末300に入力された情報は、情報処理装置200の情報記憶部221へ保存されるとともに、送信部212から患者情報DB1へ送信される。患者情報DB1は、送られてきた情報を受信すると、データベースの更新および保存を行う。なお、第1のクライアント端末300とは別に設けられた第2のクライアント端末400を用いて、患者がカウンセリング情報を自ら入力する形態としてもよい。
Step S421 is a step of determining a treatment target. The person in charge of the practitioner hears the wishes of the patient (first patient) and decides the treatment goal. In other words, this step is a step of acquiring counseling information. Examples of the contents to be heard from the patient as the treatment target are a hair loss site, a degree of hair loss, a desired treatment period (desired time when the treatment is finished), a desired budget, and the like. The information heard from the patient is input using the first client terminal 300. The information input to the first client terminal 300 is stored in the information storage unit 221 of the information processing device 200 and is also transmitted from the transmission unit 212 to the patient information DB1. Upon receiving the sent information, the patient information DB1 updates and saves the database. The second client terminal 400 provided separately from the first client terminal 300 may be used so that the patient inputs the counseling information by himself/herself.
ステップS422は、施術計画を決定するステップである。情報処理装置200は、ステップS421で情報記録部221に保存した情報を、送信部212を用いて、施術情報DB2およびマスター計画DB3へ送信する。施術情報DB2およびマスター計画DB3は、情報を受信すると、受信した情報に基づいて、与えられた条件に適した施術条件および施術計画をそれぞれ検索する。施術情報DB2は、抽出した結果を情報処理装置200へ送信する。施術情報DB2から抽出される施術条件は1つでもよいし、2以上の施術条件が抽出されてもよい。また、マスター計画DB3は、受信した患者情報に適した施術計画の条件を検索する。マスター計画DB3は、抽出した結果を情報処理装置200へ送信する。カウンセリング情報は各項目に優先順位が付与されていてもよい。すなわち、情報処理装置200は、優先順位の高い項目に関する患者の希望が優先されるような施術計画ならびに施術条件を決定することができる。たとえば、少々の痛みであれば、脱毛の程度を優先するという患者の要望を反映した施術計画ならびに施術条件が得られるため、施術に対する患者の満足度向上に寄与する。クライアント端末は、情報処理装置200から受信した施術条件および施術計画を表示部に表示する。抽出された施術条件が複数ある場合には、複数の施術条件の中から操作者が選択可能なようにクライアント端末に表示する。施術業者の担当者は、患者の同意を得た上で施術条件ならびに施術計画を確定する。患者の同意を得るため、患者自身が操作者として、クライアント端末を操作して施術計画及び施術条件を確定させてもよい。操作者による入力は入力部を介して行われ、施術計画および施術条件が確定部により確定される。クライアント端末に表示された施術計画あるいは施術条件では患者の同意が得られない場合には、ステップS421に戻り、カウンセリング情報を更新する。確定された施術計画は情報処理装置200を通して、患者情報DB1に送られ、患者情報DB1がデータベース内の情報を更新する。
Step S422 is a step of determining a treatment plan. The information processing apparatus 200 uses the transmitting unit 212 to transmit the information stored in the information recording unit 221 to the treatment information DB 2 and the master plan DB 3 using the transmitting unit 212. Upon receiving the information, the treatment information DB 2 and the master plan DB 3 respectively retrieve a treatment condition and a treatment plan suitable for the given condition based on the received information. The treatment information DB 2 transmits the extracted result to the information processing device 200. The number of treatment conditions extracted from the treatment information DB 2 may be one, or two or more treatment conditions may be extracted. Further, the master plan DB 3 searches the conditions of the treatment plan suitable for the received patient information. The master plan DB 3 transmits the extracted result to the information processing device 200. Each item of the counseling information may be given a priority. That is, the information processing apparatus 200 can determine an operation plan and an operation condition in which the patient's wishes regarding items with high priority are prioritized. For example, for a small amount of pain, a treatment plan and treatment conditions that reflect the patient's desire to prioritize the degree of hair loss can be obtained, which contributes to improvement in patient satisfaction with the treatment. The client terminal displays the treatment condition and the treatment plan received from the information processing device 200 on the display unit. When there are a plurality of extracted treatment conditions, it is displayed on the client terminal so that the operator can select from the plurality of treatment conditions. The person in charge of the practitioner determines the treatment condition and treatment plan with the consent of the patient. In order to obtain the consent of the patient, the patient himself/herself may operate the client terminal as an operator to determine the treatment plan and the treatment condition. The input by the operator is performed via the input unit, and the treatment plan and the treatment conditions are confirmed by the confirming unit. If the patient's consent cannot be obtained from the treatment plan or the treatment condition displayed on the client terminal, the process returns to step S421 to update the counseling information. The confirmed treatment plan is sent to the patient information DB 1 through the information processing device 200, and the patient information DB 1 updates the information in the database.
ステップS423で、決定した施術計画に沿って施術が行われる。ステップS423は、1回の施術で終了することもあれば、数週間から数か月の間隔を空けて複数回の施術が行われることもある。各施術に際しては、情報処理装置200は、上述した第1あるいは第2のクライアント端末を通じて施術者に施術条件の提示を行ったり、施術装置の施術条件設定を行ったりする。
In step S423, the treatment is performed according to the decided treatment plan. Step S423 may be completed by one treatment, or a plurality of treatments may be performed at intervals of several weeks to several months. At the time of each treatment, the information processing apparatus 200 presents the treatment condition to the practitioner through the above-mentioned first or second client terminal, and sets the treatment condition of the treatment device.
ステップS424では、ステップ422で決定した施術計画が終了する。これは、施術計画上の最後の施術のタイミングとしてもよいが、効果が確認できるまでに時間を要する治療の場合には、施術計画上の最後の施術実施時ではなく、最後の施術の効果が確認できた時点とすることが好ましい。
In step S424, the treatment plan determined in step 422 ends. This may be the timing of the last treatment on the treatment plan, but in the case of treatment that takes time to confirm the effect, the effect of the last treatment is not the time of the last treatment on the treatment plan. It is preferable to set the time when it can be confirmed.
ステップS424において、患者が当初希望した脱毛度合いに達していないことがある。また、当初希望した脱毛度合に達していた場合でも、患者が当初の希望よりも高い脱毛度合を望むことがある。施術の継続如何を判断する際に、参考情報として、同様の施術を受けた他の人がどうしているのかを知りたいと感じる患者は多い。
In step S424, the patient may not reach the originally desired degree of hair loss. Further, even when the hair loss degree originally desired has been reached, the patient may desire a higher hair loss degree than originally desired. When deciding whether to continue an operation, as a reference, many patients want to know what other people who have undergone the same operation are doing.
そこで、ステップS425では、情報処理装置200が、他の患者の下した判断に関する情報を、例えば第1のクライアント端末300または第2のクライアント端末400に表示する。これにより、患者は、他の人の判断に関する情報を踏まえて、今後の方針を決めることができる。本ステップでクライアント端末上に提示される情報の詳細は後述する。
Therefore, in step S425, the information processing apparatus 200 displays information regarding the judgment made by another patient on, for example, the first client terminal 300 or the second client terminal 400. This allows the patient to make future decisions based on information about other people's decisions. Details of the information presented on the client terminal in this step will be described later.
ステップS425で、他の患者の判断に関する情報を提示された患者は、ステップS426において、施術を継続するか否かを決定する。本ステップにおいて、情報処理装置200は、第2のクライアント端末400上に、患者が施術の継続を行うか否かの選択を行う画面表示を行う。患者が、第2のクライアント端末400を操作して、施術の継続か否かの入力を行うと、その情報が情報処理装置200に送信される。情報処理装置200は、取得した情報を患者情報DB1に転送し、データベースを更新する。
In step S425, the patient who is presented with the information regarding the judgment of another patient determines in step S426 whether or not to continue the operation. In this step, the information processing apparatus 200 displays a screen on the second client terminal 400 for the patient to select whether or not to continue the operation. When the patient operates the second client terminal 400 to input whether or not to continue the treatment, the information is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 200. The information processing apparatus 200 transfers the acquired information to the patient information DB1 and updates the database.
ステップS426において、患者が施術の終了を選択した場合、一連のフローは終了となる。一方で、施術を継続することを患者が希望した場合、ステップS427に進み、延長された施術計画の作成を行う。ステップS427において、情報取得装置は、ステップS421と同様にクライアント端末を通じて施術業者の担当者あるいは患者が入力したカウンセリング情報の取得を行う。本ステップにおいて取得されたカウンセリング情報は、情報処理装置200が患者情報DB1に転送し、データベースを更新する。また、情報処理装置は更新されたカウンセリング情報を基に、施術情報DB2、マスター計画DB3を検索して、新たな施術計画の候補をクライアント端末上に提示する。
In step S426, when the patient selects the end of the operation, the series of flows ends. On the other hand, if the patient desires to continue the treatment, the process advances to step S427 to create an extended treatment plan. In step S427, the information acquisition device acquires counseling information input by the person in charge of the practitioner or the patient through the client terminal, as in step S421. The information processing apparatus 200 transfers the counseling information acquired in this step to the patient information DB1 and updates the database. Further, the information processing device searches the treatment information DB 2 and the master plan DB 3 based on the updated counseling information, and presents a new treatment plan candidate on the client terminal.
図6に、ステップS425でクライアント端末上に提示する情報の一例を示す。ステップS425において、情報処理装置200は、患者と共通する属性を有する他の患者(第一の患者とは異なる一人以上の第二の患者)が下した判断に関する情報を提示する。ここで、共通する属性として情報処理装置200が参照する情報は、患者の肌質、肌色、肌の湿潤度、処置に対する肌の変化、毛密度、毛の色、毛周期、年齢など、患者の特性に関する情報を含む。このほかにも、痛みの許容度や、希望する脱毛レベルなどのカウンセリング情報や、施術条件、施術計画などを共通する属性として参照してもよい。情報処理装置200は、以上で挙げた項目のうち、一つの属性のみが共通する他の患者に関する情報を抽出してもよいが、複数の属性が共通する他の患者に関する情報を抽出した方が、患者との類似性が高いため、患者の納得度が向上する。なお、本実施形態では、脱毛施術を例示しているが、例えばほくろの除去であれば、ほくろの色、大きさ、隆起の程度などを参照する共通の属性としてもよい。しみの除去でも同様に、シミの色や大きさなどを参照する共通の属性としてもよい。
FIG. 6 shows an example of information presented on the client terminal in step S425. In step S425, the information processing apparatus 200 presents information related to the determination made by another patient (one or more second patients different from the first patient) having the same attribute as the patient. Here, the information referred to by the information processing device 200 as the common attribute is the patient's skin quality, skin color, skin wetness, change in skin due to treatment, hair density, hair color, hair cycle, age, etc. of the patient. Contains information about properties. In addition to this, counseling information such as pain tolerance, desired hair loss level, treatment conditions, treatment plan, and the like may be referred to as common attributes. The information processing apparatus 200 may extract information regarding other patients having only one attribute in common from the items listed above, but it is better to extract information regarding other patients having common attributes. , Because the similarity with the patient is high, the patient's satisfaction is improved. Although the hair removal treatment is illustrated in the present embodiment, for example, in the case of removing a mole, a common attribute that refers to the color, size, or degree of protrusion of the mole may be used. Similarly, in removing stains, a common attribute that refers to the color or size of a stain may be used.
図6Aは、情報処理装置200が、患者と共通する施術計画(「施術プランA」と表記)の実施者のうち、施術計画の終了後に施術を計画した患者の割合をクライアント端末上に示した例である。たとえば、図6Aに示した画面において、施術の継続を決定した患者の割合を示すグラフを選択すると、施術の継続を選択した理由を表示するようにシステムを構成してもよい。これにより、患者が意思決定を行うための有用な情報をさらに提供できる。また、共通する属性としてどのような項目が採用されたのかが分かるように、患者情報を参照情報と並列に表示すると、患者の意思決定がしやすくなるので好ましい。
FIG. 6A shows, on the client terminal, the percentage of patients who plan the treatment after the treatment plan is completed by the information processing apparatus 200 among the practitioners who carry out the treatment plan common to the patient (denoted as “treatment plan A”). Here is an example. For example, in the screen shown in FIG. 6A, the system may be configured to display the reason for selecting the continuation of the treatment by selecting a graph showing the proportion of patients who have decided to continue the treatment. This can further provide useful information for the patient to make decisions. In addition, it is preferable to display the patient information in parallel with the reference information so that the items adopted as the common attribute can be understood because the patient can easily make a decision.
図6Bは、図6Aに示す画面で、「価格による継続割合」タブを選択した場合の画面を示し、施術の継続を決定した患者が、どのような価格の施術を行ったのかを、価格別に示した例である。本例におけるステータスタブ541には「継続割合」および「価格による継続割合」の2つのタブがあり、選択された情報がクライアント端末に表示される。1回の施術あたりの価格に限らず、施術の継続後に他の患者が要した金額の総額など、他の指標に関する金額を参照情報として提示してもよい。患者は、図6Aや図6Bに示すように、自身と共通する属性を持つ他の患者が行った判断に関する情報を確認できるため、より適切な決断をできるようになる。
FIG. 6B shows a screen when the “Continuation rate by price” tab is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 6A, and shows what kind of price the patient who has decided to continue the operation has performed by price. It is an example shown. In the status tab 541 in this example, there are two tabs of “continuation ratio” and “continuation ratio by price”, and the selected information is displayed on the client terminal. Not only the price per operation, but the amount of money related to another index such as the total amount of money required by other patients after the operation may be presented as reference information. As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the patient can confirm the information regarding the judgment made by another patient having the same attribute as the patient, so that the patient can make a more appropriate decision.
図6の例では、患者に提示する例として、継続実施割合と価格別の継続実施割合の2つを示したが、情報処理装置200は、この他にも、年齢毎の継続割合や、施術部位変更を行った患者割合などの情報を患者にさらに提示してもよい。
In the example of FIG. 6, two examples of the continuous implementation rate and the continuous implementation rate by price are shown as examples to be presented to the patient. However, the information processing apparatus 200 may further include the continuation rate for each age and the treatment. Information such as the proportion of patients who changed the site may be further presented to the patient.
以上で説明したように、患者と共通する属性を有する他の患者の患者情報に基づいて、出力された参照情報が提示されることにより、患者は、その後の施術計画をどのように進めるか検討する上で、有用な情報を知ることができる。
As described above, the reference information that is output is presented based on the patient information of other patients who have attributes common to the patient, so that the patient can examine how to proceed with the subsequent treatment plan. You can find useful information in doing this.
以上で説明した実施形態は例示的なものに過ぎず、本発明の技術的思想から逸脱しない範囲で、多様な変更が可能である。たとえば、光脱毛装置100が、情報処理装置200と通信する機能を備えないシステムとすることも可能である。この場合には、施術担当者はステップS426において施術条件の確認を行った後、手動で脱毛装置100の施術条件を設定すればよい。この例の場合でも、カウンセリング情報に基づいて施術条件の提示がなされるため、上述の各実施形態と同様に、従来の装置よりも適切な施術条件の設定が可能となるという効果を奏する。
The embodiment described above is merely an example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention. For example, the photoepilation device 100 may be a system that does not have a function of communicating with the information processing device 200. In this case, the person in charge of treatment may manually set the treatment condition of the epilation device 100 after confirming the treatment condition in step S426. Even in the case of this example, since the treatment condition is presented based on the counseling information, it is possible to set the treatment condition more appropriately than the conventional device, as in the above-described embodiments.
本発明は上記実施の形態に制限されるものではなく、本発明の精神及び範囲から離脱することなく、様々な変更及び変形が可能である。従って、本発明の範囲を公にするために以下の請求項を添付する。
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the following claims are attached to open the scope of the present invention.
