The processing circuitry acquires monitoring data of a patient. The processing circuitry calculates a personal condition level for a physical condition of the patient using the monitoring data. The processing circuitry calculates a level of need for intervention indicative of a degree of need for a medical intervention for the patient, based on the personal condition level and a group condition level for a patient group including the patient. The processing circuitry determines whether or not the level of need for intervention of the patient satisfies a predetermined condition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A medical information processing apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to: acquire monitoring data of a patient; calculate a personal condition level for a physical condition of the patient using the monitoring data; calculate a level of need for intervention indicative of a degree of need for a medical intervention for the patient, based on the personal condition level and a group condition level for a patient group including the patient; and determine whether or not the level of need for intervention of the patient satisfies a predetermined condition. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition is set according to the group condition level. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry calculates the level of need for intervention according to the group condition level. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition indicates a first threshold, and the processing circuitry determines whether or not the level of need for intervention of the patient is equal to or higher than the first threshold. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition indicates a first threshold as a relative value set according to the group condition level and a second threshold as an absolute value not varying according to the group condition level, the second threshold being a reference for determining that the medical intervention is required, and the processing circuitry determines whether or not the level of need for intervention of the patient is equal to or higher than the first threshold or the second threshold. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition indicates a first threshold as a relative value set according to the group condition level and a third threshold as an absolute value not varying according to the group condition level, the third threshold being a reference for determining that the medical intervention is not required, and the processing circuitry determines whether or not the level of need for intervention of the patient is equal to or higher than the first threshold and the third threshold. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the predetermined condition comprises a priority as to when to receive the medical intervention, and the processing circuitry determines that the higher the level of need for intervention, the higher the priority. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry calculates the level of need for intervention using a weighting according to a distance from a residence of the patient to a medical facility. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry calculates the level of need for intervention using a weighting according to a reservation status in a schedule of a medical facility. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to set supplemental information when the medical intervention has not been performed for a patient in need of intervention as the patient whose level of need for intervention satisfies the predetermined condition, the supplemental information indicating that the medical intervention has not been performed for the patient in need of intervention. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to send information for the medical intervention to a patient in need of intervention as the patient whose level of need for intervention satisfies the predetermined condition. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The medical information processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the processing circuitry sends information about a diagnosis reservation to the patient in need of intervention. ### Claim 13 A medical information processing method comprising: acquiring monitoring data of a patient; calculating a personal condition level for a physical condition of the patient using the monitoring data; calculating a level of need for intervention indicative of a degree of need for a medical intervention for the patient, based on the personal condition level and a group condition level for a patient group including the patient; and determining whether or not the level of need for intervention of the patient satisfies a predetermined condition. ### Claim 14 A medical information processing system comprising a plurality of user terminals, a data collection server, and a medical information processing apparatus, wherein the user terminals are each configured to acquire monitoring data of a patient, and send the monitoring data to the data collection server, the data collection server is configured to encrypt the monitoring data sent from the user terminals, and the medical information processing apparatus comprises processing circuitry configured to receive the encrypted monitoring data from the data collection server, decrypt the encrypted monitoring data to obtain the monitoring data, calculate a personal condition level for a physical condition of the patient using the monitoring data, calculate a level of need for intervention indicative of a degree of need for a medical intervention for the patient, based on the personal condition level and a group condition level for a patient group including the patient, and determine whether or not the level of need for intervention of the patient satisfies a predetermined condition.
