Abstract
An endoscope system includes: an endoscope equipped with an insertion portion inserted into a subject; a heating element provided in the insertion portion and configured to generate heat; a temperature sensor configured to acquire heating element temperature data on temperature of the heating element; and a processor. The processor outputs initial surface temperature, which is data on insertion portion surface temperature at a first time point prior to a heating start time of the heating element, based on the heating element temperature data at the first time point and estimates changes in the insertion portion surface temperature over time after the first time point based on the heating element temperature data after the first time point using the initial surface temperature as an initial value of the insertion portion surface temperature.
