1. An endoscopy support apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
input a plurality of pieces of image information of a living body imaged by an endoscope into a model;
for each piece of image information, estimate a region of a target site of the living body, and generate analysis information including region information indicating the estimated region and score information indicating a likeness of the region to the target site;
generate user information related to a user, which has been input by the user using a user interface;
generate image-related information by associating imaging date and time information indicating a date and time when an image was captured, the analysis information, and the user information, for each piece of image information;
generate examination management information by associating the image-related information generated for each piece of image information during an examination period with examination information identifying an examination;
cause a display of an output device to display an examination result screen indicating an examination result based on the examination management information;
classify the score information for each piece of image information that lies within a score range set by the user via the examination result screen; and
cause the display to display the piece of image information, the imaging date and time information, and the analysis information, for each piece of image information for which the score has been classified, to support the user's decision making.
