1. A method for estimating personalized probability of a drug side effect, the method comprising:
recognizing, through a camera device of a user terminal, a product name of a drug taken by a subject, based on an image of a product package;
identifying, by a server device, the drug based on the recognized product name;
identifying, by the server device, an experience of a side effect, which is produced as the subject takes the drug, and input by the subject, based on data stored in a drug side effect database;
estimating, by the server device, a probability of the side effect of the subject in relation to the drug, based on the experience of the side effect of the subject;
transmitting, by the server device, the estimated probability of the side effect to the user terminal;
receiving, by the user terminal, a user input of a particular drug;
receiving, by the user terminal, a user input of a particular side effect, which is experienced by the subject;
transmitting, by the user terminal, the user inputs to the server device;
updating, by the server device, a side effect probability of the subject with respect to the drug taken by the subject or an ingredient contained in the drug;
when the drug taken by the subject contains newly taken ingredients, and the side effect is produced, identifying, by the server device, a disease of the subject, and prescription information having a disease code of the subject, through an electronic medical record (EMR) server;
identifying, by the server device, a symptom of the disease of the subject;
acquiring, by the server device, information on the drug taken by the subject, or statistical information on the side effect probability of the drug taken by the subject;
performing, by the server device, a comparison operation, in which, when the symptom of the disease of the subject is identical to the side effect of the drug taken, the server device does not reflect the experience of the side effect in estimating the probability of the side effect of the subject in relation to the drug, and when the symptom of the disease of the user is different from the side effect of the drug taken, the server device increases the side effect probability of the subject for each of the newly taken ingredients; and
when the statistical information on the side effect probability of the drug is absent from the drug side effect database, setting, by the server device, an initial value as a specific constant value.
