Method and arrangement for arranging an information service to determine nutrition and/or medication

Abstract

A healthcare system for personalized healthcare includes a user interface for gathering user related data of nutrition or medicaments consumed by the user, and genetic information of the user. The system also includes a research interface for gathering genetic backgrounds of different illnesses in relation to nutrition or environmental factors, and a health care practitioner interface for gathering user related data of user's health state, personalized treatment or history data. The system provides recommendations of optimal personalized nutrition or medication for the user to reach the optimal nutritive, metabolic and/or health state based on: data of nutrition or medicaments consumed by the user, genetic information of the user, genetic backgrounds of different illnesses in relation to nutrition or environmental factors, user's health state, and personalized treatment or history data of the user. The recommendations are then delivered to the user or health care practitioners via corresponding interfaces.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a method and arrangement for arranging an information service to determine nutrition and / or medication. More specifically, the invention relates to the formation of information related to the suitability of nutrients and / or medical substances for different parties and to the transmission of information between different parties and systems.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In the past decades, the average life expectancy of human beings has grown considerably because of the advanced medical methods of treatment. At the same time, new diseases and illnesses have come out, such as different kinds of allergies, especially to foodstuffs. In addition, obesity has become common especially in developed countries, in which the daily motion of humans has continuously decreased, for example, due to work performed by humans becoming lighter and due to automation. At the same time, humans' eating habits have changed, for example, as so...

Benefits of technology

[0032]Compared with the state-of-the-art solutions, considerable advantages are achieved with the help of the present invention. The method of the invention makes possible the mobility of the user and the fast and easy use of the invention irrespective of time and place. The method of the invention also makes possible to utilise the newest medical and biological research information and to use the information disclosing the user's genetic properties, possible illnesses and nutrient limitations caused by these, when determining the individualised nutrition and/or medication suitable for the user and/or when determining the suitability of nutrients in a certain food for the user. For example, the amounts of components contained in the user's daily dose of nutrition and/or medicament and possible adverse effects to the user's health or other effects, for example, to a certain illness, such as hypertension and allergies, can be assessed with the help of the invention. With the invention, it is also possible to determine the medication possibly needed by the user.

[0033]The amounts, quality and proportions of nutrients in a daily or possibly a longer-term dose of nutrition and/or medicament and the possible adverse effects can advantageously be assessed taking exactly into account the quality and amount of nutrients and/or medical substances consumed by the user within a certain time. In addition, the invention can be used for observing the proportions of different nutrients and/or medical substances consumed and their effect for achieving the optimal nutrition and metabolic state and as optimal medication as possible t

Problems solved by technology

In addition, obesity has become common especially in developed countries, in which the daily motion of humans has continuously decreased, for example, due to work performed by humans becoming lighter and due to automation.

Although specific special foodstuffs and health foods are now in good supply, nevertheless, the major part of humans eats in an unhealthy or unsuitable way, for example, in relation to the energy consumption, illness or latent illness, and they do not think about the nutrients contained in the nutrition they consume or their effects on their health.

However, monitoring the nutrients contained in the consumed nutrition is often considered difficult or laborious, and it is only thought to be relevant mostly for persons following a special diet for one reason or another.

In some cases, it may also be difficult for people to monitor the nutrient contents in the consumed food and/or drink or other substances contained in foods, which may, for example, cause illnesses or make allergies worse.

For example, people may have difficulties in remembering or generally in knowing all nutrients harmful for them in the foodstuffs, in which case, for example when shopping, it may be difficult to know the suitability of a certain product.

Especially, if one thinks of the overall effect of nutrients acquired in one day or even one week, it is almost impossible to find out the suitability, goodness and/or effect of a certain foodstuff in relation to the overall effect of nutrients obtained in one day or one week.

However, arrangements according to the known solutions contain so
