  • Patent number: 9529975
    Abstract: A medical information processing system including an input part, a sound analyzer, a state detector, determination information storage, and an association processor. Upon receiving plural types of medical information via sound input respectively, the medical information processing system can distinguish the plural types of medical information by a simple operation. The input part receives the medical information via sound input. The sound analyzer analyzes the received sound and converts it into character strings. The state detector detects plural states of the input part, respectively. The determination information storage stores in advance determination information in which each of plural states is related to types of information making up a medical record. The association processor identifies the type corresponding to the detected state based on the determination information, and relates the information indicating the identified type with the character strings converted from the sound input.
