State of health assessment device

Abstract

A state of health assessment device accumulates from a person being evaluated measurements or data inputs regarding each of multiple indicator items, including lifestyle indicators which are indicators pertaining to physical activity or lifestyle habits, and biological indicators which are indicators pertaining to the physiological state of the body. Next, the state of heath assessment device selects as an indicator or indicators of interest one or multiple biological indicators which are lowering the evaluation of the state of health of the person being evaluated and, by comparing past data for the accumulated lifestyle indicators and biological indicators, extracts as factors capable of improvement one or multiple lifestyle indicators which have the highest correlation with the indicator(s) of interest, and displays an evaluation of the state of health of the person being evaluated and the factors capable of improvement.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for supporting individual and active self-health management mainly for healthy people or people corresponding to a disease-prepared group. Background technique [0002] Recently, health concerns have increased, and the number of people who manage their blood pressure, weight, and calorie intake on a daily basis or actively engage in exercise such as jogging and walking has begun to increase. Conventionally, various measurement devices such as blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, scales, body composition meters, and thermometers have been popularized as health-related equipment for individuals and families, and pedometers, activity meters, etc. Equipment that supports exercise is effectively used as one of the health management tools. However, the information that can be obtained by using these devices is only a numerical value (and a numerical value at a point at the time of measurement) in the fi...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For healthy people and people in pre-disease groups, the measured values ​​obtained by the measuring device are within the normal range, so it is impossible to grasp their own health status (disease risk) only by using this value

In addition, at the stage of not knowing what kind of disease they may suffer from, the user cannot clearly determine which value should be paid attention to and managed

That is, although it is possible to measure various biological indicators such as blood pressure, blood sugar, body weight, body composition, and body temperature at home using various measuring devices, most users do not know how each measured value plays a role in health management.

In the future, it is hoped that various measurement devices will be popularized and an environment in which various biological indicators are routinely measured at home, but there is the following problem: the greater the amount of first-hand data obtained from measurements, the more information becomes excessive. more, the more difficult it is for ordinary users to get meaningful information, that is, information that is beneficial to their own health management

However, in Patent Document 1, the user can set whether the index to be evaluated is valid or invalid, and can control the output of the system, so there is a risk of hindering objective evaluation.

In addition, if the method of grasping the user's living habits and determining improvement items and goals based on the results of the medical consultation as in Patent Document 2, it cannot objectively evaluate the causal relationship between living habits, biological indicators, and health status, so it cannot provide Proposals for improvement with reliability

And, even if patent document 3 (refer to Figure 10 ) or patent document 4 (refer to Figure 8 ) like blood pressure and total cholesterol as improvement targets, but such indicators are not indicators that can be freely controlled by the user, so the user does not know what actions can be taken to achieve the target
