[0035] The storage device 104 is also called an auxiliary storage device, for example, in relation to the main memory (primary memory). As described above, the storage device 104 stores an operating program including the program of the present invention. The storage device 104 may be, for example, a combination of a recording medium and a drive for reading and writing to the recording medium.

[0038] Next, an example of the health management support method of this embodiment will be described based on the flowchart S10A in Figure 3. The health management support method of this embodiment is implemented, for example, using the device 10A in Figure 1 or Figure 2, as follows. Note that the health management support method of this embodiment is not limited to the use of the device 10A in Figure 1 or Figure 2.

[0039] First, the health management information acquisition unit 11 acquires health information of the person whose health is being managed (S11A, health management information acquisition process). The health information includes health marker information of the person whose health is being managed, which is acquired over time. The health marker information is information that serves as an indicator of the health of the person whose health is being managed, as described above, for example.

[0040] Next, the health management information analysis and estimation unit 12 performs analysis and estimation of health information (S12A, health management analysis and estimation process). The health management analysis and estimation process is performed by the health management standard setting process (S121A) by the health management standard setting unit 121 and the health state change analysis process (S122A) by the health state change analysis unit 122. The health management standard setting process (S121A) sets health state standard information for each health management target based on health marker information, and the health state change analysis process (S122A) generates health state change information for each health management target as changes in health marker information over time relative to the health state standard information. Then, the health information output unit 13 outputs the health state change information (S13A, health information output process). The outputted health state change information is displayed on the user terminal, for example, via a communication network.

[0041] [Embodiment 2] Figure 4 shows a block diagram of the device 10B of this embodiment, and Figure 5 shows a hardware configuration diagram of the device 10B of this embodiment. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the device 10B further includes a health condition prediction unit 14, a health management recommendation information generation unit 15, and a visualization information conversion output unit 131. Other than these, this embodiment is the same as Embodiment 1.

[0042] Next, an example of the emotion regulation support method of this embodiment will be explained based on the flowchart S10B in Figure 6. First, similar to Embodiment 1, physical condition information is acquired (S11B), physical condition management criteria are set from the physical condition information, and physical condition change information is generated (S12B, S121B, S122B).

[0043] Next, the physical condition prediction unit 14 generates future physical condition prediction information for the person under physical condition management from the physical condition change information (S14B, physical condition prediction step). The prediction of the future physical condition may be made using an algorithm that makes a judgment based on predetermined conditions, or it may be made using a trained model generated by machine learning using past physical condition change data. In this invention, if it is predicted that the physical condition will deteriorate, for example, alert information may be generated and output.

[0044] Next, the health management recommendation information generation unit 15 generates health management recommendation information based on at least one of the health condition change information and health condition prediction information (S15B, health management recommendation information generation process), and the health management information output unit 13 outputs the health management recommendation information (S13B). The health management recommendation information includes, for example, information on food and beverages (including supplements) to improve immunity or balance the immune system, and behavioral information (exercise, meditation, sleep, travel, recreation, reading, listening to music, watching videos, etc.), and information on food and beverages (including supplements) to alleviate or relieve stress, and behavioral information (exercise, meditation, sleep, travel, recreation, reading, listening to music, watching videos, etc.).

[0045] Next, the visualization information conversion output unit 131 converts the information to be output by the physical condition information output unit 13 into visualization information and outputs it (S131B, visualization information conversion output process). Visualization can be, for example, graphing of physical condition change information and physical condition prediction information, visualization using animation, visualization through changes in characters, symbols and / or marks (changes in size, color, design, type, etc.), or visualization such as weather forecasts.

[0046] [Embodiment 3] Figure 7 shows Embodiment 3 of an example of how the present invention can be used (self-monitoring by an individual). As shown in the figure, immune markers (e.g., sIgA) in saliva are analyzed (measured) using a dedicated measurement kit and analyzer. Saliva collection takes, for example, 1 to 2 minutes, and analysis (measurement) takes, for example, about 10 minutes. The analyzer 22 is connected to the user terminal 21, and the health management information acquisition unit in the dedicated application of the user terminal 21 acquires the immune marker measurement value from the analyzer 22 as health marker information (also called immune marker information) and registers the data. The health management information output unit of the user terminal 21 outputs health information, including health marker information, to the device (e.g., server) 10 via the communication network 20. The device 10 converts changes in health status into visual information such as graphs and outputs it to the user terminal 21 via the communication network. At the same time, health management recommendation information (foods that help improve immunity) is also output to the user terminal 21. Users select and consume foods that help improve immunity based on health management recommendations. They then collect saliva samples to measure immune markers. By repeating this cycle (including regular measurements), it becomes possible to support people's health management.

[0047] [Embodiment 4] Figure 8 shows Embodiment 4 of an example of how the present invention can be used (database recording and machine learning, etc.). As shown in the figure, various data (including health marker information collected and measured from saliva) are collected and stored from the person whose health is being managed, and a reference range is set for each individual from the stored health marker information (values) in the saliva. Then, based on the set reference range, the health marker information (values) in the saliva is converted into changes in the individual's state and stored in the database. Using the stored data, a trained model that predicts the health state is generated by machine learning. The trained model may be for individual use or may be general-purpose. The trained model (algorithm) is installed (implemented) on a computer and used to predict future health states. The predicted future health state information is fed back to the individual (person being managed).

[0048] The program of this embodiment is a program that causes a computer to execute each step of the health management support method described above. Specifically, the program of this embodiment is a program that causes a computer to execute a health management information acquisition procedure, a health management information analysis and estimation procedure, and a health management information output procedure.

[0051] The program of this embodiment can be based on the description in the above-mentioned health management support device and health management support method of the present invention.
