Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the physical condition management device according to the embodiment of the present invention as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the physical condition management device according to the embodiment as viewed from the back side.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the physical condition management device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a main body case 2 that constitutes the outer shell of the device, and a stand 3 provided on the back side of the main body case 2. It is a portable device in which each means described later operates using a battery (battery) housed in the main body case 2 as a power source.

[0014] The main body case 2 is a plastic housing having an internal space, and its appearance is a rectangular parallelepiped shape with rounded corners. A display device 4 made of an LCD, an organic EL, or the like is provided on the front surface of the main body case 2, and information regarding atmospheric pressure, temperature, and the like is displayed on the display screen of the display device 4. Further, a first operation button 5 and a second operation button 6 are provided at upper left and right positions on the back surface of the main body case 2, and a battery lid 7 for inserting and removing the battery is provided at the center of the back surface.

[0015] The stand 3 is a U-shaped member swingably supported on the back surface of the main body case 2. By opening the stand 3 and setting it to the open position, as shown in FIG. 2, the main body case 2 can be erected on a flat surface such as a table. Further, when the physical condition management device 1 is not in use (for example, during transportation or storage), the stand 3 can be folded to the closed position to achieve a compact posture.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the physical condition management device 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the physical condition management device 1 includes the first operation button 5 and the second operation button 6 described above, a pressure sensor 8, a temperature sensor 9, a humidity sensor 10, a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, an arithmetic unit 13, a determination unit 14, and a display unit 15.

[0017] The pressure sensor 8 is an atmospheric pressure information acquisition means for acquiring the current atmospheric pressure in the area where the physical condition management device 1 is installed. The temperature sensor 9 is a temperature information acquisition means for acquiring the current temperature in the area where the physical condition management device 1 is installed. The humidity sensor 10 is a humidity information acquisition means for acquiring the current relative humidity in the area where the physical condition management device 1 is installed. The information detected by these pressure sensor 8, temperature sensor 9, and humidity sensor 10 is input to the control unit 11. This control unit 11 includes a storage unit 12, an arithmetic unit 13, and a determination unit 14.

[0018] The storage unit 12 is a semiconductor memory (ROM and RAM) connected to the arithmetic unit 13 and the determination unit 14, and stores a plurality of threshold values in advance. The information acquired by the pressure sensor 8, temperature sensor 9, and humidity sensor 10 is stored in the storage unit 12. In the present embodiment, two first reference values (for example, 3 hPa) and a second reference value (for example, 6 hPa) are set as the pressure threshold values, two first reference values (for example, 4 °C) and a second reference value (for example, 7 °C) are set as the temperature threshold values, and one reference value (for example, 75%) is set as the humidity threshold value.

[0019] The calculation unit 13 calculates the difference (atmospheric pressure difference) between the MAX value and the MIN value of the atmospheric pressure within a predetermined time (e.g., 24 hours) based on the acquired information of the pressure sensor 8 stored in the storage unit 12. Further, the calculation unit 13 calculates the difference (temperature difference) between the MAX value and the MIN value of the atmospheric temperature within a predetermined time (e.g., 24 hours) based on the acquired information of the temperature sensor 9 stored in the storage unit 12. Note that these predetermined times are not limited to 24 hours, and the calculation unit 13 may calculate the atmospheric pressure difference and the temperature difference within other times such as 12 hours or 6 hours. Further, the calculation unit 13 calculates the average value (average humidity) of the relative humidity within a predetermined time (e.g., 6 hours) based on the acquired information of the humidity sensor 10 stored in the storage unit 12.

[0020] The determination unit 14 determines a change in physical condition based on the calculation by the calculation unit 13 and outputs a signal of a warning level corresponding to the determination result to the display unit 15. There are four types of warning levels: "small change", "caution", "countermeasure required", and "humidity caution".

[0021] Specifically, the determination unit 14 determines whether the atmospheric pressure difference (change amount of atmospheric pressure) within 24 hours calculated by the calculation unit 13 exceeds the first reference value and the second reference value with respect to the pressure difference stored in the storage unit 12. When the atmospheric pressure difference is smaller than the first reference value, a signal corresponding to the warning level "small change" is output. When the atmospheric pressure difference is between the first reference value and the second reference value, a signal corresponding to the warning level "caution" is output. When the atmospheric pressure difference is larger than the second reference value, a signal corresponding to the warning level "countermeasure required" is output.

[0022] Further, the determination unit 14 determines whether the temperature difference (change amount of atmospheric temperature) within 24 hours calculated by the calculation unit 13 exceeds the first reference value and the second reference value with respect to the temperature difference stored in the storage unit 12. When the temperature difference is smaller than the first reference value, a signal corresponding to the warning level "small change" is output. When the temperature difference is between the first reference value and the second reference value, a signal corresponding to the warning level "caution" is output. When the temperature difference is larger than the second reference value, a signal corresponding to the warning level "countermeasure required" is output.

[0023] Further, the determination unit 14 determines whether the average humidity over 6 hours calculated by the calculation unit 13 exceeds the reference value for humidity. If the average humidity exceeds the reference value, it outputs a signal corresponding to the warning level "humidity caution".

[0024] The display unit 15 displays on the display screen of the display device 4 the measured values of atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity acquired by the pressure sensor 8, temperature sensor 9, and humidity sensor 10, the change amounts of atmospheric pressure and temperature calculated by the calculation unit 13, the average value of humidity, and warning images based on the determination results of the determination unit 14.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 4, the display screen of the display device 4 has an atmospheric pressure display area 4a for numerically displaying the measured value of atmospheric pressure, a temperature display area 4b for numerically displaying the measured value of temperature, a humidity display area 4c for numerically displaying the measured value of humidity, an atmospheric pressure difference display section (hereinafter referred to as an atmospheric pressure difference bar) 4d for bar-displaying the atmospheric pressure difference, a temperature difference display section (hereinafter referred to as a temperature difference bar) 4e for bar-displaying the temperature difference, and an icon display area 4f for displaying an icon for calling attention to countermeasures.

[0026] In the humidity display area 4c, when the average humidity by the determination unit 14 is at the warning level "humidity caution", that is, when the average humidity within 6 hours exceeds 75%, the % display of the average humidity is changed to an illustration display imitating raindrops.

[0027] The pressure difference bar 4d is divided into six blocks, and the blocks of the pressure difference bar 4d are lit step by step according to the warning level of the pressure difference. Specifically, when the determination result of the pressure difference by the determination unit 14 is at the warning level of "small change", the blocks up to the first or second stage of the pressure difference bar 4d are lit. When the determination result of the pressure difference by the determination unit 14 is at the warning level of "caution", the blocks from the first to the third stage, the blocks from the first to the fourth stage, or the blocks from the first to the fifth stage of the pressure difference bar 4d are lit. When the determination result of the pressure difference by the determination unit 14 is at the warning level of "countermeasure required", all the blocks from the first to the sixth stage of the pressure difference bar 4d are lit. Also, a warning character of "caution" can be displayed at the upper right of the pressure difference bar 4d, and the warning character of "caution" is lit or blinked according to the warning level of the pressure difference.

[0028] The temperature difference bar 4e is divided into seven blocks, and the blocks of the temperature difference bar 4e are lit step by step according to the warning level of the temperature difference. Specifically, when the determination result of the temperature difference by the determination unit 14 is at the warning level of "small change", the first-stage block, the blocks from the first to the second stage, or the blocks from the first to the third stage of the temperature difference bar are lit. Also, when the determination result of the temperature difference by the determination unit 14 is at the warning level of "caution", in addition to the blocks from the first to the third stage of the temperature difference bar 4e, the fourth-stage block, the blocks from the fourth to the fifth stage, or the blocks from the fourth to the sixth stage are lit. Furthermore, when the determination result of the temperature difference by the determination unit 14 is at the warning level of "countermeasure required", all the blocks from the first to the seventh stage of the temperature difference bar 4e are lit. Also, a warning character of "caution" can be displayed at the upper right of the temperature difference bar 4e, and the warning character of "caution" is lit or blinked according to the warning level of the pressure difference.

[0029] In the icon display area 4f, an illustration prompting stretching is displayed as a still image (first icon) or a moving image (second icon) according to the warning levels of the air pressure difference and the air temperature difference. Specifically, when the warning levels of the air pressure difference and the air temperature difference are "small change", nothing is displayed in the icon display area 4f. However, when at least one of the air pressure difference and the air temperature difference reaches the warning level of "caution", a still image of the first icon that alerts the countermeasure exercise is displayed in the icon display area 4f. Also, when at least one of the air pressure difference and the air temperature difference reaches the warning level of "countermeasure required", a moving image of the second icon that prompts the countermeasure exercise is displayed in the icon display area 4f.

[0030] The first operation button 5 is a push switch connected to the control unit 11. Each time the first operation button 5 is pressed, a switching signal is output from the arithmetic unit 13 to the display unit 15 to switch the measured value of the air temperature displayed in the air temperature display area 4b to the MAX value within 24 hours → the MIN value within 24 hours → the current measured value.

[0031] The second operation button 6 is a push switch connected to the control unit 11. When the second operation button 6 is pressed, the MAX value / MIN value of the air temperature within 24 hours stored in the storage unit 12 is reset and updated to the current measured value.

[0032] Next, the control processing operation of the physical condition management device 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 to 7.

[0033] First, as shown in FIG. 5, when a battery is inserted into the main body case 2 of the physical condition management device 1 and the power is turned on (step S1), an initial screen as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the display screen of the display device 4.

[0034] Then, when the air pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity are measured (step S2) at a predetermined interval (for example, every 30 seconds) by the pressure sensor 8, temperature sensor 9, and humidity sensor 10, the measurement results of these pressure sensor 8, temperature sensor 9, and humidity sensor 10 are input to the control unit 11.

[0035] In the arithmetic unit 13 of the control unit 11, it is determined whether there is a record 24 hours ago in the storage unit 12 (step S3). If there is a record 24 hours ago in the storage unit 12 (Yes in step S3), after deleting the record of the part before 24 hours (step S4), the measurement results of the pressure sensor 8, the temperature sensor 9, and the humidity sensor 10 are stored in the storage unit 12 (step S5), and at the same time, the latest measured values are respectively displayed in the atmospheric pressure display area 4a, the air temperature display area 4b, and the humidity display area 4c of the display device 4 (step S6).

[0036] On the other hand, if there is no record 24 hours ago in the storage unit 12 (No in step S3), the measurement results of the pressure sensor 8, the temperature sensor 9, and the humidity sensor 10 are directly stored in the storage unit 12 (step S5), and at the same time, the latest measured values are respectively displayed in the atmospheric pressure display area 4a, the temperature display area 4b, and the humidity display area 4c of the display device 4 (step S6).

[0037] Next, the arithmetic unit 13 calculates the difference between the MAX value and the MIN value of the atmospheric pressure (atmospheric pressure difference) within 24 hours of the pressure stored in the storage unit 12, and the difference between the MAX value and the MIN value of the atmospheric temperature (temperature difference) within 24 hours of the atmospheric temperature stored in the storage unit 12 are respectively calculated (step S7).

[0038] When the atmospheric pressure difference and the temperature difference are calculated in step S7, the bar display corresponding to the atmospheric pressure difference is performed in the atmospheric pressure difference bar 4d of the display device 4, and the bar display corresponding to the temperature difference is performed in the temperature difference bar 4e of the display device 4 (step S8). Here, one block of the atmospheric pressure difference bar 4d corresponds to 1 hPa. For example, when the atmospheric pressure difference is 1 hPa, the first-stage block of the atmospheric pressure difference bar 4d is lit. When the atmospheric pressure difference is 3 hPa, the bars from the first stage to the third stage of the atmospheric pressure difference bar 4d are lit. Also, one block of the temperature difference bar 4e corresponds to 1 °C. For example, when the temperature difference is 2 °C, the first-stage and second-stage blocks of one block of the temperature difference bar 4e are lit. When the temperature difference is 4 °C, the blocks from the first stage to the fourth stage of one block of the temperature difference bar 4e are lit.

[0039] The determination unit 14 of the control unit 11 compares the magnitude of the air pressure difference calculated by the calculation unit 13 with the set threshold values (the first reference value and the second reference value) of the pressure, and determines whether the air pressure difference exceeds these first reference value and the second reference value set for the pressure (step S9).

[0040] In this embodiment, the first reference value for the pressure is set to 3 hPa, and the second reference value is set to 6 hPa. When the air pressure difference is less than (less than) 3 hPa of the first reference value in step S9, a signal corresponding to the warning level "small change" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, only the air pressure difference is bar-displayed on the air pressure difference bar 4d, and the warning character "Caution" is not displayed on the air pressure difference bar 4d.

[0041] Also, when the air pressure difference is between 3 hPa of the first reference value and 6 hPa of the second reference value (3 or more and less than 6) in step S9, a signal corresponding to the warning level "Caution" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, the air pressure difference is bar-displayed on the air pressure difference bar 4d, and the warning character "Caution" lights up and is displayed in the upper right corner of the air pressure difference bar 4d (step S10).

[0042] Also, when the air pressure difference is greater than (6 or more) 6 hPa of the second reference value in step S9, a signal corresponding to the warning level "Countermeasure required" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, the air pressure difference is bar-displayed on the air pressure difference bar 4d, and the warning character "Caution" blinks and is displayed in the upper right corner of the air pressure difference bar 4d (step S11).

[0043] Next, the determination unit 14 of the control unit 11 compares the magnitude of the air temperature difference calculated by the calculation unit 13 with the set threshold values (the first reference value and the second reference value) of the air temperature, and determines whether the air temperature difference exceeds these first reference value and the second reference value set for the air temperature (step S12).

[0044] In this embodiment, the first reference value for the temperature is set at 4°C and the second reference value is set at 7°C. When the temperature difference in step S12 is less than the first reference value of 4°C (less than 4), a signal corresponding to the warning level "small change" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, only the temperature difference is bar-displayed on the temperature difference bar 4e, and the warning character "Caution" is not displayed on the temperature difference bar 4e.

[0045] Also, when the temperature difference in step S12 is between the first reference value of 4°C and the second reference value of 7°C (4 or more and less than 7), a signal corresponding to the warning level "Caution" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, the temperature difference is bar-displayed on the temperature difference bar 4e, and the warning character "Caution" lights up at the upper right of the temperature difference bar 4e (step S13).

[0046] Also, when the temperature difference in step S12 is greater than the second reference value of 7°C (7 or more), a signal corresponding to the warning level "Countermeasures Required" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, the temperature difference is bar-displayed on the temperature difference bar 4e, and the warning character "Caution" blinks at the upper right of the temperature difference bar 4e (step S14).

[0047] Next, the determination unit 14 of the control unit 11 determines whether the average humidity calculated by the calculation unit 13 exceeds the threshold value (reference value) set for the humidity (step S15). In this embodiment, the reference value for the humidity is set at 75%. When the average humidity is less than the reference value of 75% (No in step S15), the average humidity is displayed in the normal % display in the humidity display area 4c. On the other hand, when the average value of the relative humidity is 75% or more (No in step S15), a signal corresponding to the warning level "Humidity Caution" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15, and the average humidity displayed in the humidity display area 4c is switched to a % display with droplets (step S16).

[0048] Note that the determination unit 14 sequentially executes the processes from step S9 to step S16, but the order is not limited to the above example. For example, the order of step S9 and step S12 can be reversed, and after determining whether the temperature difference exceeds the first reference value and the second reference value (step S12), the determination of whether the pressure difference exceeds the first reference value and the second reference value (step S9) may be performed. Alternatively, first, it may be determined whether the average humidity exceeds the reference value (step S15), and then, the determination of whether the pressure difference exceeds the first reference value and the second reference value (step S9) and the determination of whether the temperature difference exceeds the first reference value and the second reference value (step S12) may be sequentially executed.

[0049] Next, the determination unit 14 of the control unit 11 determines whether it is either the pressure caution blink or the temperature caution blink (step S17). If it is neither the pressure caution blink nor the temperature caution blink (No in step S17), then it determines whether it is either the pressure caution light-on, the temperature caution light-on, or the humidity droplet display (step S18).

[0050] In step S18, if it is determined that it is none of the pressure caution light-on, the temperature caution light-on, and the humidity droplet display (No in step S18), that is, when the pressure difference is less than 3 hPa, the temperature difference is less than 4 °C, and the average humidity is less than 75%, a signal corresponding to the warning level "small change" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, nothing is displayed in the icon display area 4f, and the process returns to step S2.

[0051] Also, in step S18, if it is determined that it is any one of the pressure caution light-on, the temperature caution light-on, and the humidity droplet display (Yes in step S18), that is, when the pressure difference is in the range of 3 to 6 hPa, the temperature difference is in the range of 4 to 7 °C, or the average humidity is 75% or more, a signal corresponding to the warning level "caution" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 8(a) to (c), a still image of the first icon 16 that alerts against countermeasure actions is displayed in the icon display area 4f (step S19), and then the process returns to step S2.

[0052] For example, when the pressure difference becomes 3 to 6 hPa, as shown in Fig. 8(a), warning characters "Attention" light up in the upper right part of the pressure difference bar 4d, and a still image of the first icon 16 is displayed in the icon display area 4f. Also, when the temperature difference becomes 4 to 7 °C, as shown in Fig. 8(b), warning characters "Attention" light up in the upper right part of the temperature difference bar 4e, and a still image of the first icon 16 is displayed in the icon display area 4f. Further, when the average humidity becomes 75% or more, as shown in Fig. 8(c), the average humidity in the humidity display area 4c is switched to a % display with raindrops, and a still image of the first icon 16, which is an illustration imitating the stretched posture, is displayed in the icon display area 4f.

[0053] In this way, when the environmental conditions are such that physical discomfort is relatively likely to occur, the first icon 16, which is a warning image to call attention to countermeasures, is displayed on the display screen of the display device 4. Therefore, a user who sees the first icon 16 on the display screen can easily recognize that they are in environmental conditions where physical discomfort is likely to occur, and can reduce the risk of physical discomfort caused by weather changes by performing countermeasures such as stretching.

[0054] On the other hand, in step S17, if it is determined that it is either the pressure attention blinking or the temperature attention blinking (Yes in step S17), that is, when the pressure difference becomes 6 hPa or more, or when the temperature difference becomes 7 °C or more, a signal corresponding to the warning level "Countermeasures required" is output from the determination unit 14 to the display unit 15. In this case, as shown in Figs. 9(a) and (b), a moving image of the second icon 17 that calls attention to countermeasures is displayed in the icon display area 4f (step S20), and then the process returns to step S2.

[0055] For example, when the pressure difference is 6 hPa or more, as shown in Fig. 9(a), warning characters "Attention" light up in the upper right part of the pressure difference bar 4d, and a video of the second icon 17 is displayed in the icon display area 4f. Also, when the temperature difference is 7 °C or more, as shown in Fig. 9(b), warning characters "Attention" light up in the upper right part of the temperature difference bar 4e, and the second icon 17, which is a video of an illustration imitating the stretching posture moving the body left and right, is displayed in the icon display area 4f.

[0056] In this way, when the environmental conditions are such that physical discomfort is very likely to occur, the second icon 17, which is a warning image prompting countermeasure exercises, is displayed on the display screen of the display device 4. Therefore, the user who sees the second icon 17 on the display screen can easily recognize that they are in environmental conditions where countermeasure exercises are necessary, and can reduce the risk of physical discomfort caused by weather changes by performing countermeasure exercises such as stretching.

[0057] As described above, the physical condition management device 1 according to this embodiment includes an atmospheric pressure sensor (atmospheric pressure information acquisition means) 8 that acquires the current atmospheric pressure, a calculation unit (calculation means) 13 that calculates the atmospheric pressure difference (the amount of change in atmospheric pressure) within a predetermined time based on the measured value of this pressure sensor 8, a determination unit (determination means) 14 that determines whether or not the atmospheric pressure difference calculated by the calculation unit 13 exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and a display unit (display means) 15 that displays information regarding the atmospheric pressure. The determination unit 14 is configured to display a first icon 16 that alerts against countermeasure exercises on the display screen of the display unit 15 when the atmospheric pressure difference exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Therefore, the user who sees the first icon 16 on the display screen can easily recognize that they are in environmental conditions where physical discomfort is likely to occur, and can take preventive measures against physical discomfort caused by weather changes in advance by performing appropriate countermeasure exercises and reduce the risk.

[0058] In addition, the physical condition management device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a temperature sensor (ambient temperature information acquisition means) 9 that acquires the current ambient temperature in addition to the pressure sensor 8. The calculation unit 13 calculates the temperature difference (the amount of change in ambient temperature) within a predetermined time based on the measured value of the temperature sensor 9. When at least one of the pressure difference and the temperature difference exceeds the corresponding threshold value, the determination unit 14 displays a first icon 16 that alerts the user to the countermeasure exercise on the display screen of the display unit 15. Therefore, not only when the pressure difference becomes large but also when the temperature difference becomes large, the user who sees the first icon 16 can immediately grasp that they are in environmental conditions where physical discomfort is likely to occur.

[0059] In this case, the predetermined threshold has a first reference value and a second reference value set in two steps. When at least one of the pressure difference and the temperature difference exceeds the first reference value, the determination unit 14 displays the first icon 16 on the display screen of the display unit 15. When at least one of the pressure difference and the temperature difference exceeds the second reference value, the determination unit 14 is configured to display a second icon 17 that prompts the countermeasure exercise on the display screen of the display unit 15. In this way, the user who sees the first icon 16 or the second icon 17 on the display screen can easily recognize that they are in environmental conditions where physical discomfort is likely to occur, and can take appropriate countermeasure exercises to prevent physical discomfort caused by weather changes in advance and reduce the risk.

[0060] In addition, in the physical condition management device 1 according to the present embodiment, among the first icon 16 and the second icon 17 whose display forms differ according to the magnitude of the pressure fluctuation, the first icon 16 is a still image, and the second icon 17 is a moving image. Therefore, it is possible to notify an alarm screen for the countermeasure exercise according to the magnitude of the pressure fluctuation. Moreover, since the first icon 16 is a still image of an illustration imitating a stretching posture, and the second icon 17 is a moving image in which the illustration of the first icon 16 moves the body left and right, it is possible to effectively perform the countermeasure exercise and reduce the risk of physical discomfort.

[0061] In addition, in the physical condition management device 1 according to the present embodiment, not only is the measured value of the atmospheric pressure numerically displayed in the atmospheric pressure display area 4a of the display device 4, but also the amount of change in atmospheric pressure (atmospheric pressure difference) is bar-displayed in the atmospheric pressure difference display unit 4d near the atmospheric pressure display area 4a. Therefore, it is possible to clearly grasp that the device is in environmental conditions where physical discomfort is likely to occur.

[0062] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the gist of the present invention. All technical matters included in the technical idea described in the claims are the subject of the present invention. The above-described embodiment shows a preferred example, but those skilled in the art can realize various alternative examples, modification examples, variation examples, or improvement examples from the content disclosed in this specification, and these are included in the technical scope described in the appended claims.

[0063] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the determination unit 14 determines whether or not each of the three items of the atmospheric pressure difference, the temperature difference, and the average humidity exceeds a predetermined threshold value. However, since the most significant factor in physical discomfort is the change in atmospheric pressure, the comparison process of the temperature difference in step S12 and the comparison process of the average humidity in step S15 in FIG. 6 may be omitted, and only the comparison process of the atmospheric pressure difference in step S9 may be executed.

[0064] In the above-described embodiment, a portable physical condition management device powered by a battery inside the main body case has been described, but a stationary physical condition management device connected to an external power source via a power cable may also be used.

[0065] By implementing the present invention, it is possible to detect the risk of physical discomfort caused by weather changes and encourage appropriate exercise. As a result, it can support the healthy lives of all people, and thus contribute to "Goal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all people of all ages" in the SDGs.
