INTERPRETATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, INTERPRETATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, IMAGE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, INTERPRETATION TERMINAL, ANALYSIS APPARATUS, INTERPRETATION MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466358 titled 'INTERPRETATION MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, INTERPRETATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, IMAGE MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, INTERPRETATION TERMINAL, ANALYSIS APPARATUS, INTERPRETATION MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an interpretation management apparatus that processes medical information to generate findings and allows users to create their own interpretation findings. The apparatus then determines if a specific combination of results requires an active notification and sends out predetermined information accordingly.

  • The hardware processor acquires automatically generated findings from computer processing on medical information.
  • The processor also acquires a first interpretation finding created by a user based on the medical information.
  • It determines if a result combination of the automatically generated finding and the first interpretation finding requires an active notification.
  • If the result combination triggers the active notification, predetermined information is actively notified in response.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in healthcare settings to assist medical professionals in interpreting complex medical information and making informed decisions.

Problems Solved

This technology helps streamline the interpretation process of medical information, ensuring that important findings are actively communicated to relevant parties.

Benefits

The apparatus helps improve communication and decision-making in medical settings by providing active notifications for critical result combinations.

Potential Commercial Applications

One potential commercial application of this technology could be in developing software solutions for healthcare providers to enhance their interpretation and communication processes.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art in this field may include existing interpretation management systems or software used in healthcare settings to process and interpret medical information.

Unanswered Questions

Original Abstract Submitted

An interpretation management apparatus including a hardware processor that: acquires an automatically generated finding obtained by computer processing on medical information; acquires a first interpretation finding created by a user based on the medical information; determines whether or not a result combination is a combination for which an active notification is to be performed, the result combination being a combination of a result of the automatically generated finding and a result of the first interpretation finding; and actively notifies predetermined information in response to determination that the result combination is the combination for which the active notification is to be performed.
