1. A failure determination apparatus of a second ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising:
at least one memory storing one or more programs including instructions; and
one or more processors which, by executing the instructions, function as:
a determination unit configured to, using a plurality of trained models, determine whether the second ultrasound diagnosis apparatus is in a failed state based on states of multiple types of data generated in the second ultrasound diagnosis apparatus, the plurality of trained models including a first trained model generated by being trained using a reflected wave signal received by a first ultrasound diagnosis apparatus that is in the failed state, a second trained model generated by being trained using signal processing data obtained by performing signal processing on a reflected wave signal received by the first ultrasound diagnosis apparatus in the failed state, and a third trained model generated by being trained using ultrasound image data generated by the first ultrasound diagnosis apparatus in the failed state; and
a notification unit configured to notify an operator of a result of the determination by the determination unit,
wherein the determination unit determines whether or not the second ultrasound diagnosis apparatus is in the failed state by integrating respective states of the multiple types of data output using the plurality of trained models based on a priority configured to be set according to the multiple types of data, and
wherein the priority is configured to be set to prioritize a reflected wave signal received by the second ultrasound diagnosis apparatus, signal processing data obtained by performing signal processing on the reflected wave signal received by the second ultrasound diagnosis apparatus and ultrasound image data generated by the second ultrasound diagnosis apparatus in this order, among the multiple types of data.
