INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM

To execute a maintenance request at an appropriate timing.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment comprises: an estimation unit; a searching unit; a calculation unit; and a presentation unit. The estimation unit estimates, based on the state of a plurality of components constituting a medical device, a failure sign component representing a failure sign and the time of failure of the failure sign component. The searching unit searches for, based on a reservation state of the medical device and the time related to maintenance work of the failure sign component, the date on which the maintenance work can be executed before the time of failure is reached as a maintenance candidate date. The calculation unit calculates the price of maintenance for the maintenance candidate date based on a cost for the failure sign component and a cost for the maintenance work. The presentation unit presents the failure sign component, the time of failure, the maintenance candidate date, and the price of maintenance.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】保守依頼を適切なタイミングで実施できること。【解決手段】実施形態に係る情報処理装置は、推定部と、検索部と、算出部と、提示部と、を備える。前記推定部は、医用装置を構成する複数の部品の状態に基づいて、故障予兆を表す故障予兆部品と当該故障予兆部品の故障時期を推定する。前記検索部は、前記医用装置の予約状況と前記故障予兆部品の保守作業に関する時間とに基づいて、前記故障時期までに前記保守作業を実施可能な日時を保守候補日時として検索する。前記算出部は、前記故障予兆部品に関するコストと前記保守作業に関するコストとに基づいて、前記保守候補日時の保守価格を算出する。前記提示部は、前記故障予兆部品、前記故障時期、前記保守候補日時及び前記保守価格を提示する。【選択図】図１
