Local area medical information sharing systems ware tried after 2000. However, evaluation from the contents and the communication was hardly made. Evaluation was done targeting the system of 3 example made until now in the summary technique and the point of view of the communication.In result, it clear the importance of the information that was easy to be connected with the behavior transfiguration of the receiving person, it was available in the simple and easy method as a result.A report and a summary are made the target as the information that is easy to be connected with the behavior transfiguration as the doctor who is a receiving person should do to the applicable patient. Paper is useful as a simple and easy method as a medium which the condition of the media literacy of the receiving person.

From the standpoint of ensuring the safety of patients in hospitals, a system that keeps watch over sleeping patients is necessary. In an actual clinical site, depending on a patient's age and medical condition, accidents may occur due to sensors and wires attached to the bed. So there is the need now for technology that monitors patients in an unrestricted state and which is completely detached from sensors. In this paper, we propose a technique that monitors patients using difference video image processing that it was considered realizable at bedside. Detecting unusual movements of a patient is especially critical for this technique. Therefore this technique was focused on the movement amount about subject. As a verification experiment, substantial amount of movement of a healthy subject was calculated at outside the clinical site. From this experiment, it was confirmed the soundness of using difference images to determine substantial movement amount. Then next test was conducted in a clinical site on trial. To verify the possibility of clinical application, it was examined the relation between substantial amount of movement about sleeping patient and the sleep state. For this testing, using difference images we measured body movements of pediatric patient during his sleep stage. At the same time, polysomnogram (PSG) was measured to read sleep stage. We picked up the patient without obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (AHI<1). The results showed that a relationship could be seen between body movements as measured by difference images and the transition periods of sleep stages measured by PSG. From these results, it is considered that substantial movement amount we propose was proper value at clinical testing. Results suggest the possibility of clinical application for monitoring patients during their sleep. In addition to not restricting the patient, this technique has the benefit of not requiring sensors or wires attached to beds. The patient is thus completely free of contact with this system.

In this study, for the purpose of investigating influence of sleep duration on next whole day's physical function, focusing on "perception function", "thought function", "working memory function" and "motility function" after wake-up on two different sleep conditions (six hours (long sleep) and three hours (short sleep)) , we conducted one experiment to evaluate each function. Six healthy male subjects participated in this experiment. They were asked to do each work corresponding respective four functions. During this experiment, we monitored EEG for evaluating arousal level. And we also recorded subjective rating about mental work strain and calculated work performances regarding each work. Simultaneously, body temperature and heart rate were measured for checking changes in biological rhythm. The results showed that perception function, thought function, and working memory function were declined in case of short sleep condition. There were no remarkable changes in the biological rhythm between long and short sleep conditions.
