[Figure 4] 1 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for implementing a health management method in a health management system. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The same or corresponding parts in the drawings are given the same reference numerals, and in principle, the description thereof will not be repeated. Regarding the embodiments and modifications described below, it is planned from the beginning of the application that the configurations described in the embodiments may be appropriately combined within the scope of no inconvenience or contradiction, including combinations not mentioned in the specification.

[0015] [Configuration of Health Management System 10] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a health management system 10 according to an embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the health management system 10 includes a measurement device 1, a server device 2, and a display device 3. The server device 2 includes a control device 21, a storage device 22, and a communication device 23.

[0016] The measuring device 1 measures the biometric information of a user. The server device 2 stores the biometric information of the user measured by the measuring device 1 in the storage device 22 for each individual user, and the control device 21 sets a target value for the biometric information of the individual user according to the measured value of the stored biometric information of the individual user, and controls updating of the target value. The display device 3 displays the target value set for each individual user by the control device 21 in the server device 2, and the measured value stored in the storage device 22 in the server device 2.

[0017] The measuring device 1 is a device that measures the biological information of a user. The measuring device 1 is capable of measuring, for example, advanced glycation end products (AGEs, hereinafter referred to as "AGEs") as biological information. AGEs is a general term for multiple compounds, which are generated when sugar and protein combine and react through oxidation, dehydration, and condensation.

[0018] AGEs are thought to accumulate in the body due to poor lifestyle habits and cause age-related diseases and lifestyle-related diseases (e.g., diabetes, dementia, etc.) Therefore, the health management system 10 is capable of managing the user's health condition by measuring and managing AGEs.

[0019] The measurement device 1 is installed in various facilities such as medical institutions, pharmacies, nursing homes, and gyms.

[0020] The server device 2 is a server constructed on the cloud. By constructing the server device 2 on the cloud, it is possible for the measurement devices 1 installed in various facilities to access the server device 2. In the server device 2, a control device 21, a storage device 22, and a communication device 23 are connected by a bus 24.

[0021] The control device 21 is an example of a computer, and is a computing entity that executes various processes according to various programs. The control device 21 includes, for example, at least one of a central processing unit (CPU), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a graphics processing unit (GPU), and a multi-processing unit (MPU). Furthermore, the control device 21 may include a volatile memory such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and a static random access memory (SRAM), and a non-volatile memory such as a read only memory (ROM) and a flash memory. The control device 21 may be configured with a processing circuitry.

[0022] The storage device 22 includes a non-volatile memory such as a hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid state drive (SSD). The storage device 22 stores an information processing program 221, user-specific measurement value information 222, user-specific display information 223, and user identification information 224.

[0023] The information processing program 221 is a program executed by the control device 21 so that the control device 21 performs various controls in the server device 2. The information processing program 221 includes a server control program that causes the control device 21 to control the communication device 23 and the storage device 22, and a health management program that causes the control device 21 to manage the health of the user.

[0024] The per-user measurement value information 222 is information that cumulatively stores per user the measurement values ​​of the biological information measured by the measurement device 1. The per-user display information 223 is display information for displaying information such as the target values ​​and measurement values ​​of the biological information for each user on the display device 3.

[0025] The user identification information 224 is information for identifying a user. The user identification information 224 includes information used to identify a user, such as a user ID, a password, and a user name. The server device 2 can identify a user by using the user identification information 224.

[0026] The communication device 23 transmits and receives information (data) between the measurement device 1 and the display device 3 by wired or wireless communication.

[0027] The display device 3 is an information terminal equipped with a display unit. The display device 3 is, for example, a portable information terminal such as a smartphone owned by a user.

[0028] [Example of operation of health management system 10] Next, an example of the operation of the health management system 10 will be described.

[0029] First, the operation when measuring biological information will be described. When the user measures biological information with the measurement device 1 in response to an instruction from the user, information on the measurement value of the biological information and user identification information are transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the communication device 23 of the server device 2.

[0030] In the server device 2, the information on the measurement value of the biological information and the user identification information transmitted from the measurement device 1 are sent from the communication device 23 to the control device 21. The control device 21 performs user authentication by comparing the user identification information transmitted from the communication device 23 with the user identification information 224.

[0031] In the health management system 10, for example, each registered user is associated with user identification information 224. The health management system 10 can store the biological information of the registered users as user-specific measurement value information 222.

[0032] During user authentication, when the user corresponding to the user identification information sent from the communication device 23 is recognized as a registered user, the control device 21 stores the transmitted measurement value information in the storage device 22 as user-specific measurement value information 222 corresponding to the recognized user.

[0033] The control device 21 uses current and past data in the user-specific measurement value information 222 corresponding to the approved user to determine a target value of the biometric information corresponding to the approved user by a statistical method, such as processing to determine quartiles. Then, the control device 21 stores in the storage device 22, as user-specific display information 223, display data for displaying on the display device 3 an image (such as an image shown in FIG. 2) that allows a comparison between the target value of the biometric information corresponding to the approved user and the current measurement value.

[0034] It should be noted that the health management system 10 may store measurements of biological information of unregistered users and execute the same health management processes as for registered users.

[0035] Next, a description will be given of an operation for viewing the user's biometric information on the display device 3. When the user performs an operation for viewing the user's biometric information on the display device 3, the user identification information is transmitted from the display device 3 to the communication device 23 of the server device 2.

[0036] In the server device 2, the user identification information transmitted from the display device 3 is sent from the communication device 23 to the control device 21. The control device 21 performs user authentication by comparing the transmitted user identification information with the user identification information 224.

[0037] When the control device 21 recognizes the user as a registered user in the user authentication, the control device 21 reads out the user-specific display information 223 corresponding to the recognized user. Then, the control device 21 transmits the display data in the user-specific display information 223 from the communication device 23 to the display device 3 from which the user identification information was transmitted.

[0038] The display device 3 displays an image (such as the image shown in FIG. 2) that allows comparison of the target value and measured value of the biometric information corresponding to each user, in accordance with the display data thus sent from the communication device 23. This allows the display device 3 to display an image that allows comparison of the target value and current measured value of the biometric information corresponding to each user.

[0039] [Health management image example] 2 is a diagram showing an example of health management image 30 displayed on display device 3. Health management image 30 is an image that displays target values ​​and measured values ​​of biological information for each user in a comparable manner. Health management image 30 shows a graph with AGEs score (0 to 0.8) on the vertical axis and dates (March 31 to September 30) on the horizontal axis.

[0040] The AGEs score is a score indicated by the measurement value of AGEs obtained by the measuring device 1, and the lower the score, the lower the amount of AGEs accumulated in the body. Therefore, the lower the AGEs score, the better the health condition. On the other hand, the higher the AGEs score, the greater the amount of AGEs accumulated in the body. Therefore, the higher the AGEs score, the worse the health condition.

[0041] In health management image 30, all of the displayed black circular dots are the user's personal AGEs measurement values ​​4 measured by measuring device 1. In health management image 30, the measurement values ​​4 show the relationship between the AGEs score and the date, so that the progress of the measurement values ​​4 can be easily shown.

[0042] In health management image 30, target value A of the user's personal AGEs score is displayed by statistically processing the user's past measurement values ​​4. Target value A is set by control device 21 as follows. Control device 21 classifies all of the user's personal measurement values ​​4 into four numerical ranges, Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, using quartiles, which are a statistical method. Then, control device 21 sets Q1, which is the numerical range of measurement values ​​belonging to a category with a relatively high evaluation of the health condition, among these numerical ranges Q1 to Q4, as target value A for the user.

[0043] Numeric range Q1 is a numerical range of the AGEs score between a first boundary value 61 and a second boundary value 62. Numeric range Q2 is a numerical range of the AGEs score between the second boundary value 62 and a third boundary value 63. Numeric range Q3 is a numerical range of the AGEs score between the third boundary value 63 and a fourth boundary value 64. Numeric range Q4 is a numerical range of the AGEs score between the fourth boundary value 64 and a fifth boundary value 65.

[0044] The first boundary value 61 is the best AGEs score among the user's past measurement values ​​4. The second boundary value 62 is the value corresponding to 25% of the number from the minimum value when the user's past measurement values ​​4 are sorted in ascending order of AGEs score. The third boundary value 63 is the value corresponding to 50% of the number from the minimum value when the user's past measurement values ​​4 are sorted in ascending order of AGEs score. The fourth boundary value 64 is the value corresponding to 75% of the number from the minimum value when the user's past measurement values ​​4 are sorted in ascending order of AGEs score.

[0045] In health management system 10, each time biological information is measured by measurement device 1, control device 21 updates the four numerical ranges Q1 to Q4 by executing statistical processing using the data of past measurement values ​​4 of the individual user stored in per-user measurement value information 222. As a result, in health management system 10, numerical range Q1 is updated each time biological information is measured by measurement device 1, and therefore target value A of the individual user's AGEs score is updated by statistical processing using the data of past measurement values ​​4 of the individual user stored in per-user measurement value information 222.

[0046] The target value A is selected by taking into consideration the user's past biometric measurement data 4, and is a numerical range Q1 of measurement values ​​that belong to a category with a relatively high health evaluation, so that the target value A is a value that is easy for the individual user to achieve.

[0047] In addition, in health management system 10, each time the measurement device 1 measures the user's biological information multiple times, the numerical range Q1-Q4 may be updated by statistical processing using the data of the user's personal past measurement value 4 stored in per-user measurement value information 222. In this case, in health management system 10, each time the measurement device 1 measures the user's biological information multiple times, the target value A of the user's personal AGEs score is updated.

[0048] In health management image 30, when the user's personal measurement value 4 reaches a value within numerical range Q1, which is target value A, high evaluation display 5 is executed. High evaluation display 5 includes hand image 51 indicating high evaluation, and text image 52 indicating high evaluation (GOOD!).

[0049] 2, as an example, as shown in a group of measurement values ​​40 for the period from August 31 to September 30, a high rating display 5 is displayed in the health management image 30 each time the measurement value 4 falls within a numerical range Q1 that is the target value A. Note that the high rating display 5 may be displayed each time the measurement value 4 achieves the target value A, or may be displayed in response to the measurement value 4 achieving the target value A multiple times in a row.

[0050] By displaying such a health management image 30 on the display device 3, the user can visually compare the user's past measured value 4 of the biometric information and the target value A of the biometric information of the user. The target value A is set to a value that is easy for the user to achieve, taking into consideration the user's past measured value 4 of the biometric information. In this way, the health management system 10 can maintain or improve the user's motivation to improve their health regarding their personal health management.

[0051] [Specific example of health management process in health management system 10] 3 and 4 are flowcharts showing an example of processing for implementing a health management method in the health management system 10. The processing shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 collectively shows processing executed in the entire health management system 10.

[0052] Fig. 3 shows a series of processes executed in the health management system 10 when the measurement device 1 measures the user's biological information in response to a user's instruction. Fig. 4 shows a series of processes executed in the health management system 10 when the measurement results of the user's biological information are displayed on the display device 3 in response to a user's instruction.

[0053] 3, in step S1, the measurement device 1 measures the user's biological information in response to an instruction from the user. In step S2, information on the measurement value of the biological information obtained by the measurement device 1 in step S1 is transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the server device 2 together with the user identification information. The information transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the server device 2 is received by the communication device 23 and sent to the control device 21.

[0054] In step S3, user authentication is performed in server device 2. Specifically, in step S3, control device 21 in server device 2 compares the user identification information received from measuring device 1 with user identification information 224 stored in storage device 22, thereby performing user authentication.

[0055] In step S4, it is determined whether or not the user has been approved in the user authentication in step S3. If it is determined in step S4 that the user has not been approved, the process ends.

[0056] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S4 that the user has been approved, then in step S5, the server device 2 stores the measurement value information received from the measurement device 1 as per-user measurement value information 222. Specifically, in step S5, in the server device 2, the control device 21 sorts the measurement value information received from the measurement device 1 by user based on the user identification information received from the measurement device 1, and stores the information as per-user measurement value information 222.

[0057] In step S6, the server device 2 creates first display information for displaying health management image 30 as shown in Fig. 2, which includes the target value A obtained by the previous statistical processing and the new measurement value information, and stores it in the storage device 22 as part of the per-user display information 223. In the health management system 10, in step S6, the first display information for displaying the target value A obtained by the previous statistical processing and the new measurement value information as health management image 30 as shown in Fig. 2 can be obtained.

[0058] The previous statistical processing refers to statistical processing executed to obtain target value A based on measurement information including measurement value information obtained by the previous measurement by the user with measuring device 1 and earlier measurement value information. Information for displaying target value A obtained by such statistical processing is stored in storage device 22 as second display information that is part of user-specific display information 223 in step S7 described below, for example, when the previous measurement was performed with measuring device 1.

[0059] Specifically, in step S6, in the server device 2, the control device 21 reads out the previous second display information stored in the memory device 22 as user-specific display information 223, and the read out previous second display information is used as information for displaying the target value A obtained by the previous statistical processing.

[0060] In step S7, server device 2 executes statistical processing in response to the new measurement value information received from measuring device 1 and measurement value information including past measurement value information, creates second display information for displaying health management image 30 as shown in Fig. 2 including the new target value A obtained by the statistical processing and the new measurement information, stores this in storage device 22 as part of user-specific display information 223, and terminates processing. In health management system 10, step S7 allows for obtaining second display information for displaying target value A obtained by the current statistical processing and the new measurement value information as health management image 30 as shown in Fig. 2.

[0061] 4, in step S11, in response to an instruction from the user, user identification information is transmitted from the display device 3 to the server device 2. The information transmitted from the display device 3 to the server device 2 is received by the communication device 23 and sent to the control device 21.

[0062] In step S12, user authentication is performed in server device 2. Specifically, in step S12, in server device 2, control device 21 compares the user identification information received from measuring device 1 with user identification information 224 stored in storage device 22, thereby performing user authentication.

[0063] In step S13, it is determined whether or not the user has been approved in the user authentication in step S12 by the server device 2. If it is determined in step S13 that the user has not been approved, the process ends.

[0064] On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 that the user is approved, the first display information and the second display information are transmitted from the server device 2 to the display device 3 in step S14. The first display information transmitted in step S14 is the first display information stored in the storage device 22 as part of the per-user display information 223 in step S6 of Fig. 3. The second display information transmitted in step S14 is the second display information stored in the storage device 22 as part of the per-user display information 223 in step S7 of Fig. 3.

[0065] Specifically, in step S14, the server device 2 reads out the first display information and the second display information of the user-specific display information 223 corresponding to the user approved by the user authentication from the storage device 22. Then, in step S14, the read out first display information and second display information are transmitted from the communication device 23 to the display device 3 from which the user identification information was transmitted. The first display information and the second display information transmitted in this manner are received by the display device 3.

[0066] In step S15, the display device 3 that has received the first display information uses the received first display information to display a health management image 30 as shown in Figure 2, which includes the target value A obtained by the previous statistical processing and new measurement value information.

[0067] In step S16, it is determined whether or not the conditions for displaying a high rating 5 are met in the health management image 30 displayed on the display device 3. Specifically, in step S16, it is determined that the conditions for displaying a high rating 5 are met if the new measurement value achieves the target value A based on the target value A obtained by the previous statistical processing included in the received first display information and the new measurement value information.

[0068] If it is determined in step S16 that the conditions for displaying the high rating 5 are not met, the process ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S16 that the conditions for displaying the high rating 5 are met, an image display is performed in which the high rating 5 is added to the health management image 30 in step S17.

[0069] After the health management image 30 displayed in steps S15 and S17 has been displayed on the display device 3 for a predetermined time, in step S18, the display device 3 uses the second display information received from the server device 2 to display the health management image 30 as shown in FIG. 2, which includes the target value A obtained by the new statistical processing and the new measurement value information. Then, the processing ends. By displaying such an image on the display device 3, the user can recognize the user's personal new target value A.

[0070] [Modification of the embodiment] (1) In the health management system 10 of the embodiment, the measuring device 1 may be a device that measures other biological information such as, in addition to AGEs, blood pressure, blood glucose level, respiratory rate, body temperature, brain waves, electrocardiogram, blood flow, heart sounds, blood oxygen concentration, cholesterol, blood alcohol concentration, sweating, electromyogram, and activity level.

[0071] (2) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, an example has been shown in which the server device 2 is a server built on the cloud. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the server device 2 may be a server other than a server built on the cloud.

[0072] (3) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, an example has been shown in which measurement information of biological information and user identification information are transmitted from the measurement device 1 to the server device 2. However, this is not limiting, and upon completion of measurement of biological information, the measurement device 1 may generate a one-dimensional or two-dimensional code based on the measurement information and print the code information using a printer. In this case, the user may obtain the measurement information by reading the code printed on the receipt with a camera on an information terminal such as a smartphone owned by the user, and transmit the obtained measurement information and user identification information to the server device 2.

[0073] (4) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, the display device 3 is not limited to an information terminal owned by the user, but may be an information terminal such as a personal computer terminal or a tablet terminal installed in various facilities such as medical institutions, pharmacies, nursing homes, and gyms.

[0074] (5) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, an example has been described in which a target value is calculated by statistical processing using quartiles. However, this is not limited to this, and other types of statistical processing may be used to calculate a target value as long as it is possible to set a target value corresponding to a measurement value that is relatively highly evaluated in terms of health among the measurement values ​​of the biometric information of the individual user stored in the storage device 22 as the target value of the biometric information of the individual user.

[0075] (6) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, an example has been given in which the target value of the biological information is updated each time the biological information is measured once by the measurement device 1. However, this is not limiting, and the target value of the biological information may be updated each time the biological information is measured multiple times by the measurement device 1.

[0076] (7) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, an example has been given in which the target value of the biological information is updated each time the biological information is measured once by the measurement device 1. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the target value of the biological information may be updated in accordance with the passage of a period of time, for example, the target value of the biological information may be updated every week.

[0077] (8) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, an example has been given in which an image showing a graph of the numerical range Q1 set for the target value A and the measured value 4 is displayed on the display device 3, thereby displaying the target value of the biological information and the measured value of the biological information in a comparable manner. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to display both the numerical range Q1 set for the target value A and the measured value 4 in a numerical display, such as a digital display, so that the target value of the biological information and the measured value of the biological information can be displayed in a comparable manner.

[0078] (9) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, the health management image 30 displays the target value A obtained by the previous statistical processing described in step S15 and new measurement value information, and displays the high rating 5 described in step S17. However, it is also possible not to display the target value A obtained by the new statistical processing described in step S18 and the new measurement value information.

[0079] (10) In the embodiment of the health management system 10, the target value A and new measurement value information obtained by the new statistical processing described in step S18 are displayed as health management image 30. However, it is also possible to omit displaying the target value A and new measurement value information obtained by the previous statistical processing described in step S15, and to omit displaying the high rating 5 described in step S17.

[0080] [Effects obtained by the embodiment] (1) As shown in FIG. 3, a target value A for the user's individual biometric information is set in accordance with the measurement value of the user's individual biometric information stored in memory device 22, and as shown in FIG. 2, the target value A set for each user and the measurement value 4 stored in memory device 22 are displayed, thereby increasing the user's motivation to improve their health.

[0081] For example, even if the evaluation of the measurement value of the biometric information is poor, it is possible to easily set a target value that can be achieved even by a user with a poor evaluation, so that the user is prevented from losing motivation and the user's motivation to improve his / her health can be improved. In addition, even if the evaluation of the measurement value of the biometric information is good, it is possible to easily set a new target value appropriate for a user with a good evaluation, so that the user is prevented from feeling relieved and being unable to find a new goal, and the user's motivation to improve his / her health can be improved. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, a target value A of the biometric information of the individual user is set according to the measurement value 4 of the biometric information of the individual user stored in the storage device 22, and as shown in FIG. 2, the target value A set for each individual user and the measurement value 4 stored in the storage device 22 can be displayed to improve the user's motivation to improve his / her health, so that the user's motivation to improve his / her health can be improved without giving an incentive such as money to the user.

[0082] (2) As shown in the numerical range Q1 of FIG. 2, among the measurement values ​​4 of the biometric information of the individual user stored in the storage device 22, the target value A corresponding to the measurement value 4 having a relatively high health evaluation is set as the target value for the biometric information of the individual user, so that a target value appropriate for the state of the biometric information of the individual user can be set.

[0083] (3) In FIG. 3, each time measurement information is transmitted from the measuring device 1 to the server device 2, i.e., each time a measurement is performed by the measuring device 1, the target value A is updated with respect to the measured biometric information of the individual user, so that a target value A that is more suited to the state of the individual user's biometric information can be set.

[0084] (4) As shown in FIG. 3, specifically, the predetermined condition for updating the target value A is met when the user's personal biometric information is measured a predetermined number of times by the measurement device 1. Therefore, each time the number of measurements increases, a target value A suitable for the state of the user's personal biometric information can be set.

[0085] (5) As shown in FIG. 3, specifically, the predetermined condition for updating the target value A is met each time the user's personal biometric information is measured once by the measurement device 1, so that a target value A appropriate for the state of the user's personal biometric information can be set each time the biometric information is measured.

[0086] (6) As shown in FIG. 2 , the measured value 4 of the biometric information of the individual user and the target value A are displayed in a comparative manner, so that the user can easily check the relationship between the measured value 4 of the biometric information and the target value A.

[0087] (7) As shown in step S7 of FIG. 3, the target value A is updated in accordance with the statistics of the biometric information measurement values ​​4 of the individual user stored in the storage device 22, so that it is possible to provide the user with a target value A that corresponds to the tendency of the user's past biometric information measurement values ​​4.

[0088] (8) As shown in FIG. 2, when updating the target value A, the measurement values ​​4 of the biometric information of the individual user stored in the storage device 22 are classified into four categories using quartiles, and the range Q1 of measurement values ​​belonging to the category with a relatively high health assessment is set as the target value A. This makes it possible to provide the user with a target value that is more in line with the tendency of the measurement values ​​4 of the biometric information of the individual user in the past.

[0089] (9) As shown in FIG. 2, when the measured biometric information value 4 of an individual user achieves the target value A, a high evaluation display 5 is displayed, thereby increasing the user's motivation to improve their health.
