Abstract: The healthcare information processing apparatus according to the present embodiment comprises a memory; and processing circuitry configured to collect at least one information among a vital information, an activity information, and an environment information of a subject, associate with a date and/or time, and store in a memory; ask questions to the subject when the information meets a predefined condition based on the information of the subject; and cause the memory to store a response to the questions.

Abstract: A medical information processing apparatus comprises processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains from each of the patients entering a facility, identification information. The processing circuitry extracts when it is discovered that at least one of the patients has contracted a predetermined disease, an action taken in each of positions in the facility by a target patient who has contracted the disease, from action history information recording actions taken in the facility by each of the patients, on the basis of the identification information of the target patient. The processing circuitry calculates with respect to each of the positions in the facility, a first risk value of a risk imposed by the disease on a surrounding environment, on the basis of the actions of the target patient. The processing circuitry generates a risk map indicating the first risk values so as to be kept in association with the positions.

Abstract: A diagnosis assisting apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuit and a display circuit. The processing circuit is configured to obtain a first question represented by a question from a patient to a medical doctor. The processing circuit is configured to analyze content of the obtained first question. The processing circuit is configured to convert the first question into a second question having equivalent content and using a different expression, on the basis of a result of the analysis. The display circuit is configured to display the second question.

Abstract: A medical institution selection support apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives a search request for a medical institution. The processing circuitry outputs a search result in accordance with an overall evaluation value based on an evaluation value in accordance with personal information of a user for an evaluation item for evaluating each of a plurality of the medical institutions and an importance degree of the evaluation item on which the personal information is reflected.

Abstract: A volume data transmission system for transmitting volume data consisting of voxel data through a communication line includes a projection data generating section, a data selecting section, and a data transmitter section. The projection data generating section generates binary projection data from the volume data in accordance with whether predetermined significant data is included in any of voxel data along a plurality of predetermined directions in a 3-dimensional space. The data selecting section selects only voxel data having significant data corresponding to any of the binary projection data on the basis of the binary projection data. The transmitter section transmits the binary projection data and the selected voxel data.
