  • Publication number: 20240062900
    Abstract: An information processing device according to an embodiment includes a hardware processor coupled to a memory. The hardware processor estimates morbidity representing a probability of a subject being suffering from a specific disease. The morbidity is estimated on the basis of: a first probability model representing a relation between a first physical quantity associated with the specific disease and a second physical quantity to be measured, a second probability model representing a relation between the first physical quantity and information about whether the subject is suffering from the specific disease, a prior probability of morbidity representing a probability of the subject being suffering from the specific disease in a situation where no information has been obtained with respect to the first physical quantity or the second physical quantity related to the subject, and the second physical quantity obtained by measuring the subject.
