Abstract

A medical question contents automatic selection system for automatically selecting medical questions allocated to a patient from the medical questionnaire made by a medical professional. The medical question contents automatic selection system compares the correct answer rate threshold of the medical questions preset by the medical professional with the correct answer rate of the questions to the patient so as to estimate the educational level of the patient about health, compares the vital sign measurement value threshold preset by the medical professional with the vital sign measurement value of the patient so as to estimate the condition level of the patient, and automatically selects medical questions allocated to the patient depending on the educational level and the condition level of the patient. The medical question contents automatic selection system can allocate medical questions to the patient depending on the educational level of the patient about health and disorder condition level of the patient without troubling the medical professional.

Dependent claims

A system for automatically selecting question contents, the system comprising:

an input device that receives as input:
a question group having at least one question including an inquiry for testing knowledge about health and a plurality of answer options to the inquiry;
an answer by a respondent to the question of the question group;
a right answer setting for setting whether or not each of the answer options is a right answer;
a right answer rate (RAR) threshold for the question group;
a vital sign measurement value of the respondent;
and
a vital sign measurement value threshold;
a storage device that stores:
the question group;
the right answer setting;
the RAR threshold;
the vital sign measurement value threshold;
and
a batch comprising a plurality of question groups, the plurality of question groups being classified into education levels or symptom levels of the respondant and being classified into a matrix having two or more axes, one axis related to the RAR threshold and another axis related to the vital sign measurement value threshold;
a controller, comprising a processor, that selects a question group from the batch comprising the plurality of question groups to assign to the respondent, based on:
a RAR comparison result obtained by comparing a RAR of answers by the respondent, calculated from answers input by the respondent through the input and the right answer setting stored in the storage, and the RAR threshold for the question group which the respondent answers;
and
a vital sign measurement value comparison result obtained by comparing the vital sign measurement value of the respondent, received through the input, and the vital sign measurement value threshold stored in the storage;
and
a display that displays:
the inquiry and the answer options of the question of the question group which the controller assigned to the respondent;
and
the RAR comparison result and the vital sign measurement value comparison result.

21 more elements

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores an executable computer program that causes a computer to automatically select question contents, the program causing the computer:

to receive as input, by performing reception processing of:
a question group having at least one question including an inquiry for testing knowledge about health and a plurality of answer options to the inquiry;
an answer by a respondent to the question of the question group;
a right answer setting for setting whether or not each of the answer options is a right answer;
a right answer rate (RAR) threshold for the question group;
a vital sign measurement value of the respondents;
and
a vital sign measurement value threshold;
to perform storage processing of:
the question group;
the right answer setting;
the RAR threshold;
the vital sign measurement value threshold;
and
a batch comprising a plurality of question groups, the plurality of question groups being classified into education levels or symptom levels of the respondent and being classified into a matrix having two or more axes, one axis related to the RAR threshold and another axis related to the vital sign measurement value threshold;
to perform selection processing by selecting a question group from batch comprising the plurality of question groups to assigned to the respondent, based on:
a RAR comparison result obtained by comparing the RAR of answers by the respondent, calculated from answers input by the respondent and the stored right answer setting stored, and the RAR threshold for the question group which the respondent answers;
and
a vital sign measurement value comparison result obtained by comparing the vital sign measurement value of the respondent received as input and the stored vital sign measurement value threshold;
to perform display processing to display:
the inquiry and the answer options of the question of the question group which the selection assigned to the respondent;
and
the RAR comparison result and the vital sign measurement value comparison result.
