The program causes a first terminal apparatus to execute processing including: obtaining biological information on a subject from a first sensor provided in a mobile object, obtaining identification information for the subject, obtaining a detection time, and sending the biological information in association with the identification information for the subject and the detection time to an information processing apparatus.

Abstract: A medical treatment server is configured to reduce load on physicians for work other than examination and treatment. The server is configured to send recruiting conditions and in response receive undertaking conditions that are related to a physician who does not belong to the medical facility. A controller decides whether to appoint the physician depending on whether a pickup location included in the received undertaking conditions is apart from a location of the medical facility by a distance equal to or greater than a threshold. Upon deciding to appoint the physician, the controller determines a pickup location included in the undertaking conditions to be a stopover point.
