Abstract

A sentence generation device includes at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: display, for each type of medical sentences, icons indicating items to be included in a medical sentence; receive designation of any of icons of items for each of which a summary sentence is generated; input an instruction sentence related to the designated icon into a language model to generate the summary sentence based on electronic medical record information; and output the generated summary sentence.

First claim

1 . A sentence generation device comprising:
at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: display, for each type of medical sentences, icons indicating items to be included in a medical sentence; receive designation of any of icons of items for each of which a summary sentence is generated; generate the summary sentence based on electronic medical record information by inputting an instruction sentence related to the designated icon into a language model; and output the generated summary sentence.

2 . The sentence generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to
acquire text information related to an item indicated by each icon from electronic medical record information and summarize the acquired electronic medical record information to generate the summary sentence using the language model.

3 . The sentence generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to
display the generated summary sentence in an editable manner.

4 . The sentence generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to
display electronic medical record information that is a basis of information included in the summary sentence.

5 . The sentence generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:
receive an instruction including generating the summary sentence using a template sentence prepared in advance as a generation condition; and generate the summary sentence by inputting the instruction sentence and the template sentence into the language model and applying electronic medical record information to the template sentence.

6 . The sentence generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:
receive an instruction including generating the summary sentence using a sample sentence as a generation condition; and generate the summary sentence by inputting the instruction sentence and the sample sentence into the language model.

7 . The sentence generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to
receive whether to use the output summary sentence.

8 . The sentence generation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:
generate summary sentences using a plurality of different language models; output the generated summary sentences; and receive whether a sentence generated by which language model is used.

9 . A sentence generation method comprising:
displaying, for each type of medical sentences, icons indicating items to be included in a medical sentence; receiving designation of any of icons of items for each of which a summary sentence is generated; generating the summary sentence based on electronic medical record information by inputting an instruction sentence related to the designated icon into a language model; and outputting the generated summary sentence.

10 . The sentence generation method according to claim 9 , further comprising
acquiring text information related to an item indicated by each icon from electronic medical record information and summarizing the acquired electronic medical record information to generate the summary sentence using the language model.

11 . The sentence generation method according to claim 9 , further comprising
displaying the generated summary sentence in an editable manner.

12 . The sentence generation method according to claim 9 , further comprising
displaying electronic medical record information that is a basis of information included in the summary sentence.

13 . The sentence generation method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving an instruction including generating the summary sentence using a template sentence prepared in advance as a generation condition; and generating the summary sentence by inputting the instruction sentence and the template sentence into the language model and applying electronic medical record information to the template sentence.

14 . The sentence generation method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
receiving an instruction including generating the summary sentence using a sample sentence as a generation condition; and generating the summary sentence by inputting the instruction sentence and the sample sentence into the language model.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that records a program for causing a computer to execute:
displaying, for each type of medical sentences, icons indicating items to be included in a medical sentence; receiving designation of any of icons of items for each of which a summary sentence is generated; generating the summary sentence based on electronic medical record information by inputting an instruction sentence related to the designated icon into a language model; and outputting the generated summary sentence.

16 . The recording medium, according to claim 15 , that records the program for causing the computer to further execute
acquiring text information related to an item indicated by each icon from electronic medical record information and summarizing the acquired electronic medical record information to generate the summary sentence using the language model.

17 . The recording medium, according to claim 15 , that records the program for causing the computer to further execute
displaying the generated summary sentence in an editable manner.

18 . The recording medium, according to claim 15 , that records the program for causing the computer to further execute
displaying electronic medical record information that is a basis of information included in the summary sentence.

19 . The recording medium, according to claim 15 , that records the program for causing the computer to further execute:
receiving an instruction including generating the summary sentence using a template sentence prepared in advance as a generation condition; and generating the summary sentence by inputting the instruction sentence and the template sentence into the language model and applying electronic medical record information to the template sentence.

20 . The recording medium, according to claim 15 , that records the program for causing the computer to further execute:
receiving an instruction including generating the summary sentence using a sample sentence as a generation condition; and generating the summary sentence by inputting the instruction sentence and the sample sentence into the language model.
