Description

Sports organization health management system

[0001] The present invention relates to a health management system for groups for maintaining health and exercising, and more specifically, to a system for conducting health-related measurements on members of groups for maintaining health and exercising, and obtaining advice from registered dietitians, pharmacists, etc.

[0002] Traditionally, fitness clubs have been used to promote health. However, fitness club trainers often have little medical knowledge and are unable to provide members with advice that will lead to better health. Furthermore, many members are concerned about whether the supplements they take are effective. Furthermore, many members are concerned about their health but are reluctant to spend time on tests. Therefore, there was a need for a system that would allow fitness club members who do not have time to visit a medical institution or who are unsure about using supplements to easily take health tests, receive advice from medical experts and trainers, and train according to the test results.

[0003] Similarly, members of youth sports groups and junior high, high school, and university sports clubs were also hoping for a system that would allow them to easily undergo health tests, receive advice from medical experts and instructors, and train and practice according to the test results, even if they did not have time to visit a medical institution.

[0004] Various technologies have been proposed to address these issues. For example, a system for managing basic physical data and medical test results data for fitness club members (see Patent Document 1) has been proposed and is a publicly known technology. More specifically, this technology assesses physical risks based on basic physical data, medical test results data, body composition analysis results data obtained using measuring instruments, and data obtained through counseling with doctors, registered dietitians, and trainers, prescribes exercise programs tailored to the member's physical condition, and improves the physical risks by re-prescribing the exercise program tailored to the member's physical condition based on quantitative effect analysis results including exercise record data of training based on the exercise program. However, this technology assumes that the medical tests and body composition analysis are performed at a location separate from the club, which requires a significant amount of time, and therefore does not address the above-mentioned issues.

[0005] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-355617

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a system that enables health-related measurements to be taken of members of health maintenance and exercise groups, and that enables members to receive advice from experts and instructors on the results, thereby promoting appropriate training and health promotion.

[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a sports organization health management system, which includes a database, a control unit, a measuring device, and a terminal application. The database is made up of a health DB, a group of medical experts DBs, a supplement intake history DB, and a coaching expert DB. The health DB stores, for each member, basic information, a health measurement value measured by the measuring device, an evaluation standard value of the health measurement value, and a health evaluation value calculated from the health measurement value and the evaluation standard value. The group of medical experts DBs is made up of DBs for each of a plurality of medical experts, and each DB The supplement intake history DB stores, for each member, advice for the member according to the health evaluation value and the intake history of supplements related to the health evaluation value, and the supplement intake history DB stores, for each member, the type of supplement, the intake amount of supplement, the intake start time, and the intake end time as the supplement intake history, and the instructor expert DB stores advice for the instructor according to the health evaluation value and the history of the health evaluation value, and the advice for the instructor is created for the instructor by a plurality of medical experts, and the terminal app is configured The system comprises an app for a terminal for a member and an app for a terminal for an instructor, and the measuring device is placed when a member visits the organization for training, and the app for the terminal for a member transmits supplement information including the member's supplement intake amount, intake start time, and intake end time to the control unit, and the control unit stores the supplement information in the supplement intake history DB, and the measuring device transmits the measured health level measurement value to the control unit, and the control unit stores the health level measurement value in the health level DB, and the control unit obtains the multiple health level evaluation values ​​from the health level DB and creates a radar chart. and obtains time series information of the health measurement value, the health evaluation value, and supplement intake details from the supplement intake history DB and the health DB, generates a time series graph from the time series information, generates advice to be sent to a member from each DB of the medical-related expert DB group, the health evaluation value, and the time series information, and transmits the advice to be sent to a member, the radar chart, and the time series graph to the member-oriented terminal app, generates advice to be sent to an instructor from the instructor-oriented expert DB, the health evaluation value, and the time series information, and transmits the advice to be sent to an instructor-oriented terminal app.A means for transmitting the advice to be transmitted by the instructor is adopted.

[0008] In addition, the present invention employs a means in which the advice to be sent to the member is sent after measurement with the measuring device and before training begins, and the advice to be sent to the instructor is sent before the instructor provides training guidance to the member.

[0017] The health management system 1 is a system that performs health checks on members of organizations for maintaining health and exercising. Possible organizations include fitness clubs, junior high school, high school, and university sports clubs, youth sports clubs, corporate sports clubs, and professional sports teams. Possible members include fitness club members, junior high school, high school, and university sports club students, youth sports club members, corporate sports club employees, and professional sports team players. Possible instructors include fitness club trainers, club directors and managers of junior high school, high school, and university sports clubs, close relatives of members, youth sports club managers and coaches, close relatives of members, and managers and coaches of corporate sports clubs and professional sports teams. The health management system 1 is a system that performs health checks on members of organizations based on measurements from health-related measuring devices installed within the organization. In this embodiment, a system for fitness club members is described as an example. Members take short health-related measurements before training and utilize the results. The health management system 1 includes a database 30, a control unit 20, a measuring device 10, and terminal applications, that is, a member terminal application 81 and an instructor terminal application 91. The member terminal application 81 and the instructor terminal application 91 are installed on the member terminal 80 and the instructor terminal 90, respectively.

[0018] The measuring device 10 is a measuring device for measuring the health status of a human body, etc. The measuring device 10 is installed in a fitness club, and members visiting the fitness club can take health-related measurements in a short time after checking in and before training. After measuring the body, the measuring device transmits the measured health level measurement value 42 to the control unit 20 as electronic data via wired or wireless communication. Examples of measuring devices 10 include body composition analyzers, vascular age measuring devices, bone health measuring devices, vegetable intake measuring devices, skin age measuring devices, lung age measuring devices, and stress check devices. Body composition analyzers measure muscle mass, body fat, and other basic components that make up the body. Vascular age measuring devices provide an estimated age by measuring the hardness and clogging of blood vessels. Bone health measuring devices measure bone mass using ultrasound and display bone health as a numerical value. Vegetable intake measuring devices measure the amount of carotenoids in the skin, thereby providing a numerical indication of vegetable intake status. The skin age measuring device measures the impedance of the epidermis and dermis of the skin to calculate an estimated skin age and skin health. The lung age measuring device measures key lung function items such as lung age and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) by blowing into the skin. The stress check device passes a weak current between sensors to measure the skin impedance of each part of the body and displays the balance of mind and body, the degree of relaxation, and an overall evaluation. Both devices do not require supervision by medical professionals and can be managed and operated by fitness clubs.

[0019] The control unit 20 controls the entire system. It receives measurement results from the measuring device 10 and stores them in the health DB 40 of the database 30. The control unit 20 performs calculations and processes using the data in the database 30 to generate advice for members 57 regarding the member's health and advice for trainers 71 that trainers can use to create training menus. The control unit 20 transmits the advice via the Internet I to a member terminal app 81 and an instructor terminal app 91. When the control unit receives supplement information from the member terminal app 81, it stores the supplement information in a supplement intake history DB. The control unit 20 also acquires multiple health evaluation values ​​43 and generates a radar chart 83 from the multiple health evaluation values ​​43. The control unit 20 also acquires time-series information on health measurement values ​​42, health evaluation values ​​43, and supplement intake details from the supplement intake history DB 60 and the health DB 40, and generates a time-series graph of supplements, measurement values, and evaluation values ​​from the time-series information.

[0020] The terminals include a member terminal 80 and an instructor terminal 90. The member terminal 80 may be a terminal provided by the fitness club or a smartphone or the like personally owned by the member. The instructor terminal 90 is suitable for use as a terminal provided by the fitness club because it allows for the checking of information for multiple members. The apps include a member terminal app 81 and an instructor terminal app 91. The instructor terminal app 91 is a program installed on the instructor terminal 90. It runs within the instructor terminal 90, communicates with the control unit 20, and receives information as needed. The information is training advice provided by the trainer based on the member's health measurement results. The trainer can use the advice to create a training menu, etc. The member terminal app 81 is a program installed on the member terminal 80. It runs within the member terminal 80, communicates with the control unit 20, and sends and receives information as needed. The member receives health advice based on the member's health measurement results. Using the member terminal app 81, members can make lifestyle improvements, etc., by referring to the advice to be sent to members 58 displayed on the member terminal 80. The member terminal app 81 also serves to input information about the member's supplement intake. When a member inputs information about supplements, the member terminal app 81 transmits supplement information to the control unit 20, including the member's supplement intake amount, intake start time, and intake end time. When a member starts taking supplements, the member inputs the type and amount of the supplement and the start date into the member terminal app 81. When a member stops taking supplements, the member inputs the type of supplement that was stopped and the date of stopping into the member terminal app 81.

[0021] The database 30 is a key part of the present invention. The database 30 may be a cloud server or a server installed at each fitness club. Using a cloud server allows data to be shared among many fitness clubs. Using individual servers reduces the maintenance burden and simplifies operation. The database 30 is controlled by the control unit 20, and data is written and read. The database 30 consists of multiple independent DBs. The database 30 consists of a health level DB 40, a group of medical expert DBs 50, a supplement intake history DB 60, and an instructor expert DB 70.

[0022] The health DB 40 stores, for each member, basic information about the member and measurement data related to the member's health. Specifically, the database stores the member's basic information 41, health measurement values ​​42 measured by the measuring device 10, evaluation reference values ​​44 for the health measurement values ​​42, and a health evaluation value 43 calculated from the health measurement values ​​42 and the evaluation reference values ​​44. The basic information 41 is the member's basic information, such as name, age, gender, address, telephone number, and email address. It also includes information on medical history and medication. The health measurement values ​​42 are the measurement results measured by each measuring device 10. Members always take measurements every time they visit the fitness club, allowing for regular measurements. The health measurement values ​​42 are continuously stored in the health DB 40, making it easy to check changes over time. The evaluation reference values ​​44 are a set of values ​​used to normalize the health measurement values ​​42. Standard values ​​are determined for each measuring device based on, for example, age and gender. If the measured value is better than the reference value, there is little need for advice. Conversely, if the measured value is worse, there is a greater need for advice to improve the value. The health evaluation value 43 is obtained by normalizing the health measurement value 42 using the evaluation reference value 44 as a reference. By normalizing, it becomes clear which of the multiple measurements should be given priority in advice.

[0023] The medical specialist DB group 50 is a collection of advice data for each of many medical specialists. The medical specialist DB group 50 is made up of DBs for multiple medical specialists, and each DB stores advice 57 for members based on their health assessment value 43 and the supplement intake history related to the health assessment value 43. The medical specialist DB group 50 is made up of a registered dietitian DB 51, a pharmacist DB 52, a physical therapist DB 53, a licensed psychologist DB 54, and a psychiatrist DB 55. This is because when conducting health checks for members, it is necessary to check nutritional, pharmaceutical, movement quality, mental health, and other aspects.

[0024] The registered dietitian DB51 is a database of experts who provide advice on dietary habits, and contains data related to the health and nutrition of members and corresponding advice data. It is used to provide advice to members based on their measurement results, measurement history, and supplement intake status.

[0025] The pharmacist DB 52 is a database of experts who hold data on health and medications and corresponding advice data, and who provide advice on whether the medications and supplements a member is taking are appropriate and whether there are any problems with drug interactions.The database provides advice on the health evaluation value 43, the medications and supplements to be taken, and the appropriateness of drug interactions with supplements currently being taken.

[0026] The physical therapist DB 53 is a database of experts that holds data on physical disabilities and injuries and corresponding advice data, and covers declines in motor function due to injuries, etc., and provides advice on recovering and maintaining basic movement abilities. Of the health evaluation values ​​43, emphasis is placed on vascular age and bone health, and advice is provided based on these.

[0027] The physical therapist DB 53 and the certified psychologist DB 54 contain data related to mental and psychological aspects and corresponding advice data, and are databases of experts who primarily provide advice on mental disorders and mental stress. Emphasis is placed on stress checks within the health evaluation value 43, and advice is provided based on these. The physical therapist DB 53 and the certified psychologist DB 54 each provide advice on mental aspects from a different perspective. By subdividing the data into each DB, advice can be given to members from a wider range of perspectives.

[0028] The supplement intake history DB is a DB for understanding the supplement intake status of each member, including past and current intakes (FIG. 3(b)). The supplement intake history DB stores the type of supplement, the amount of supplement taken, the start date of intake, and the end date of intake as the supplement intake history for each member. Members input their intake status using the member terminal app 81 on the member terminal 80. By using a portable terminal, they can input information from anywhere, including their home.

[0029] The instructor expert DB 70 is a database for providing fitness club trainers with advice related to the training of each member they are in charge of. The instructor expert DB 70 stores each health rating value 43 and advice for instructors 71 corresponding to the history of the health rating value 43. The advice for instructors 71 is a compilation of advice prepared for trainers by multiple medical experts. Advice from multiple medical experts is selected that is specific to the training that the member is performing. Therefore, the advice content can be said to be focused on important points for trainers. The history of the health rating value 43 is used to make it easier to check for sudden changes in the member's physical condition.

[0030] Specific examples of each data item will be described. The basic information 41, health measurement values ​​42, and health evaluation values ​​43 in the health DB 40 will be described with reference to FIG. 2 . FIG. 2( a) is a table of the basic information 41, health measurement values ​​42, and health evaluation values ​​43. From left to right, these are the basic information 41, health measurement values ​​42, and health evaluation values ​​43. These are stored in the health DB 40. The basic information 41 consists of an ID number, name, gender, and age. Gender and age may be used as indicators for the evaluation reference value 44. Other information such as address, telephone number, and email address may also be included. Information about medical history and medications may also be included to improve the accuracy of advice. The health measurement values ​​42 are the most recently measured data. Using the health measurement values ​​42 as evaluation values ​​provides more information for advice. Furthermore, checking the health measurement values ​​42 and their history can also be used as information for determining advice. In this example, seven pieces of data are used: body composition, vascular age, bone health, skin age, vegetable intake, lung age, and stress check. Body composition is measured as the body fat percentage. High body fat increases the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia, as well as myocardial infarction and stroke. Vascular age is a measure of arteriosclerosis. The higher the measured age, the more advanced the arteriosclerosis. A significantly worse vascular age than actual age indicates a higher risk of arteriosclerosis. Bone health is a measure of bone strength related to bone density. For example, bone health is measured on a 5-point scale, with 5 indicating the lowest strength and 1 indicating the highest strength and healthiest. Skin age is calculated by measuring the skin impedance between the epidermis and dermis between electrodes. The higher the measured age, the less moisturized the skin is. A significantly worse vascular age than actual age indicates significant skin aging. Vegetable intake is calculated by measuring the amount of carotenoids in the skin. This utilizes the fact that the amount of carotenoids in the skin changes depending on the amount of vegetables (green and yellow vegetables) consumed. The measurement is scored on a five-point scale, from 1 being poor to 5 being sufficient. Lung age is a calculation of how old your lung function is based on the speed and volume of air you exhale.The greater the discrepancy between actual age and actual age, the greater the risk of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Stress checks evaluate autonomic nervous balance by measuring skin impedance. Measurements are scored on a five-point scale, ranging from low to high, with 1 representing low stress, 2 representing slightly low, 3 representing normal, 4 representing slightly high, and 5 representing high. Stress can also be checked using a questionnaire, but with questionnaires, people often report mild symptoms, making it difficult to fully identify the condition. In contrast, diagnosis using a measuring device is objective, and measurement is very important.

[0031] The health evaluation value 43 is a normalized value of the health measurement value 42. Although the health trend of the member can be grasped only with the health measurement value 42, normalization makes it possible to clarify more important items. For normalization, for example, the upper and lower limits of the measurement are assigned to a five-point scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being the worst evaluation and 5 being the best evaluation. Therefore, when selecting an item for which advice is to be given, an appropriate selection can be made by selecting the item with the lowest evaluation value.

[0032] The evaluation reference value 44 is used to generate the health evaluation value 43. The evaluation reference value 44 is information initially stored in the health DB 40. The evaluation reference value 44 will be explained with reference to the table in FIG. 2( b). The table lists the evaluation reference value 44 for each measurement device (measurement item). The measurement devices include seven items: body composition, vascular age, skin age, bone health, lung age, stress check, and vegetable intake. Since bone health, stress check, and vegetable intake are not significantly dependent on age, the measured values ​​can be used as evaluation values ​​directly or by simply reversing the high and low values. For vascular age, skin age, and lung age, actual age is basically used as the reference. If the difference between actual age and skin age is small, the evaluation value is normal (3). For both vascular age and skin age, the evaluation value is determined depending on the difference between actual age and measured age. In this example, the evaluation values ​​for vascular age and lung age are changed when the difference is 10 years and 20 years, and the evaluation value for skin age is changed when the difference is 20 years and 30 years. This is because skin age is considered to have less impact on health and is less important. Regarding body composition (body fat percentage), since the standard body fat percentage differs between men and women and it is appropriate to set the standard as normal (3), ratings 5 ​​and 4 have been eliminated, and fat percentages considered normal, slightly obese, and obese have been assigned to ratings 3, 2, and 1. Using these, a health evaluation value 43 is generated from a health measurement value 42.

[0033] The specific contents of the table in FIG. 2( a) will be described. Four members are listed. Basic information 41 is ID No. 101 to 104, which include name, gender, and age. ID No. 101 indicates that the name is Yamada Taro, the gender is male, and the age is 31. Health measurement values ​​42 are measurements of six items, from body composition to stress check. Yamada Taro's measurements are: body composition (body fat) 25%, vascular age 55, bone health index 1 (good), lung age 35, skin age 40, vegetable intake 5, and stress check index 4 (slightly high). Looking at the health measurement values ​​42, it is unclear which items should be given priority for advice. Therefore, a health evaluation value 43, which is the health measurement value 42 normalized by the evaluation standard value 44, is confirmed. Looking at the health rating of 43 for Taro Yamada, we can see that his vascular age is rated 1, which is the lowest compared to the other ratings, and so is an item that should be given top priority in advice. By standardizing in this way, more accurate advice can be given.

[0034] The measurement value, evaluation value history table, and supplement intake history table are explained with reference to Figure 3. Members regularly visit fitness clubs, allowing for more continuous and stable measurements than measurements taken at other stores or businesses. Table 3 in Figure 3(a) shows the health measurement value 42 and health evaluation value 43 history data for member ID No. 101 from January 2023 to December 2023. Looking at the health measurement value 42, we can see that there are significant monthly changes in vascular age and vegetable intake. Looking at the health evaluation value 43, we can see that the recent deterioration of vascular age is more pronounced than other factors. Table 4 in Figure 3(b) shows the supplement intake history. It is possible to check the types of supplements taken from January 2023 to December 2023, as well as when intake began and stopped. Using these tables, advice can be provided that takes into account the member's past history.

[0035] Figure 4 is a time series graph 84 of supplement and measurement values, which collectively displays Tables 3 and 4 from Figures 3(a) and (b). This graph is intended to help members easily understand their health status and supplement intake status. The vertical axis lists the supplement varieties 61 and the names of each measuring device 10, and for each measuring device 10, the health measurement values ​​42 are displayed. Specifically, this graph shows an example of measurement results and intake status from January to December 2023. A line representing the evaluation 2 value of the evaluation standard value 44 is added separately from each measurement value, creating a consultation recommendation line 45. By displaying these past histories in one place, members can see the progress of their health status and supplement intake over time, making it easier to understand their own condition.

[0036] The structure of each database within the medical specialist database group 50 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 . The health measurement values ​​42 and health evaluation values ​​43 referenced by each database are, in principle, fixed. Examples of health evaluation values ​​43 referenced by each database are shown in Table 5 in FIG. 5( a). For example, the registered dietitian database 51 references six items, such as body composition, vegetable intake, and supplement intake. The pharmacist database 52 references body composition, vascular age, bone health, lung age, vegetable intake, and supplement intake. The physical therapist database 53 references body composition, vascular age, bone health, lung age, and stress check. The certified psychologist database 54 and the psychiatrist database 55 reference stress check. The efficiency of the database structure can be improved by limiting the evaluation values ​​referenced. These are merely examples, and may be changed depending on the database configuration and system configuration.

[0037] The evaluation values ​​for each database and the content of advice for members 57 are shown in Table 6 in Figure 5(b). Because the table is very large, only a portion is shown. The items are, from left to right, the expert database name, measurement item, evaluation value / supplement name, value, and advice for members 57. The expert database names are the databases from the registered dietitian database 51 to the psychiatrist database 55 in the medical-related expert database group 50. The target items are based on the table in Figure 5(a). For the registered dietitian database 51, the items are body composition, vascular age, bone health, lung age, skin age, and vegetable intake. When providing advice on body composition, first, a suggested advice is selected based on the evaluation value. For example, if the evaluation value is 2, the first suggested advice would be, "Your body fat seems to be a little high. Train hard." If the evaluation value is 1, the suggested advice would be, "Your body fat seems to be high. Train hard and review your diet." This would be a stronger suggested advice. Next, regarding supplements, as a supplement related to body composition, a suggested advice is selected based on the intake status of vitamin B. If the member has never taken vitamin B before, the suggested advice is "Vitamin B burns fat and promotes the reduction of body fat," encouraging the member to take vitamin B. If the member is currently taking vitamin B, the suggested advice is "We recommend that you continue to take vitamin B," encouraging the member to continue taking vitamin B. If the member has taken vitamin B in the past, the suggested advice is "We recommend that you resume taking vitamin B," encouraging the member to resume taking vitamin B. By combining the suggested advice based on the evaluation value and the suggested advice based on the supplement intake status, more detailed advice can be provided to the member. The same applies to other measurement items.

[0038] The process of selecting and transmitting appropriate advice from the advice for members 57 will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 6 . These processes are performed by the control unit 20 unless otherwise specified. As an example of the process, the case of a member with ID No. 101 will be described. First, one DB is selected from the medical specialist DB group 50 (S101). If this is the first DB, the registered dietitian DB 51 is selected. For the selected DB, the evaluation values ​​of the relevant measurement items are confirmed (S102). The relevant evaluation values ​​in the medical specialist DB group 50 are body composition, vascular age, bone health index, lung age, skin age, and vegetable intake, so these evaluation values ​​are confirmed. The item with the lowest evaluation value is selected (S103). Looking at the evaluation values ​​for body composition, vascular age, bone health index, lung age, skin age, and vegetable intake for ID No. 101 in FIG. 2( a), the lowest evaluation value is evaluation 1 for vascular age.

[0039] From the advice for members 57, an advice proposal corresponding to the evaluation value of the selected item (vascular age) and an advice proposal based on the intake status of related supplements are selected (S104). In the vascular age item of the registered dietitian DB 51 in FIG. 5(b), the advice for members 57 with an evaluation value of 1 is selected as an advice proposal: "Your vascular age seems high. Be careful not to consume too much fat. We recommend that you see a doctor." Since the related supplement is vitamin E, it can be confirmed from the supplement intake history in FIG. 3(b) that vitamin E was taken in the past but is not currently being taken. From the vitamin E item of vascular age in FIG. 5(b), the advice proposal corresponding to past intake, "We recommend that you take vitamin E again," is selected.

[0040] The proposed advice is synthesized to produce advice to be sent to member 58, which is then sent to the app on the member's device (S105). The proposed advice is "Your vascular age appears to be high. Be careful not to consume too much fat. We recommend that you see a doctor" and "We recommend that you start taking vitamin E again." Therefore, the advice to be sent to member 58 is synthesized to read "Your vascular age appears to be high. Be careful not to consume too much fat. We recommend that you see a doctor. We also recommend that you start taking vitamin E again." Conjunctions, etc., may be modified to reflect the discomfort. The advice to be sent to member 58 is received by the member's device app 81 on the member's device 80 via the Internet I and displayed on the display screen 82 of the member device 80. When sending the advice to be sent to member 58, a radar chart 83 or a time series graph 84 may also be sent. By viewing these simultaneously, a comprehensive understanding of the member's health condition can be obtained.

[0041] It is checked whether the processing has been completed for all DBs (S106). If it has been completed, the process ends. If it has not been completed, the next DB is selected (S107), and the process returns to S102 to perform the same process.

[0042] By performing this process, fitness club members can receive comprehensive advice about their health status and the supplements they are taking without having to go to another facility, which helps them maintain their health. Also, by sending advice to be sent to members 58 shortly after measurement with measuring device 10 and before the start of training, members can receive this advice before training, allowing them to train with greater attention to their health.

[0043] The advice for trainers 71 will be described with reference to Figure 7. The advice for members 57 allows members to become aware of their health, but by allowing trainers who manage members' training programs and the like to recognize factors related to the member's health, more accurate health management can be achieved. Table 7 in Figure 7 shows the content for giving advice to trainers regarding the member's health status. From left to right, the items are: measurement item, evaluation value / history, value, and advice for trainers 71. The only database is the expert database for trainers 70. The expert database for trainers 70 is specialized for the advice provided by each expert, providing advice necessary for trainers to instruct members. Although there is only one database, the procedure for selecting advice proposals based on evaluation values ​​is almost the same as for advice for members 57. The difference is that the advice content is tailored to trainers and tailored to training instruction. Furthermore, the expert database for trainers 70 provides advice based on evaluation value history rather than supplement intake history. This is because changes in evaluation values ​​may indicate a sudden change in physical condition. As with advice for members 57, the case of ID No. 101 will be taken as an example. The item with the lowest evaluation value in FIG. 2(a) is vascular age, with an evaluation value of 1. In Table 7 of FIG. 7, the advice content for vascular age with an evaluation value of 1 is, "Your blood vessels are hardening. We recommend a plan incorporating arteriosclerosis-reducing stretches." Looking at the evaluation value history of vascular age in FIG. 3(a), the previous evaluation value was 2, and this time it has worsened to 1. Therefore, the advice content for a worsening trend in Table 7 of FIG. 7 is, "Your vascular age is worsening. Please check whether there have been any changes in your diet and training." Therefore, the advice to be sent to the instructor 72 is, "Your blood vessels are hardening. We recommend a plan incorporating arteriosclerosis-reducing stretches. Your vascular age is worsening. Please check whether there have been any changes in your diet and training." This content is transmitted to the instructor terminal app 91 of the instructor terminal 90 via the Internet I. The trainer can use this advice as a reference to create appropriate instruction and training menus for the member.

[0044] By performing this process, fitness club trainers can create appropriate instruction and training menus that include medical elements for members without having any special medical knowledge or experience. Also, by sending the advice to be sent to instructor 72 before the trainer provides training instruction to the member, the trainer can understand the content of this advice before providing instruction to the member, allowing them to provide accurate instruction that is tailored to the member's current condition.

[0045] The screen displays of the member terminal 80 and the instructor terminal 90 are described with reference to FIG. 8 . The member terminal 80 displays health information in addition to advice using the member terminal app 81. The radar chart 83 comprehensively displays the most recent measurements and evaluation values. The graph format allows members to intuitively identify health concerns. By viewing the supplement / measurement time series graph 84, members can understand the relationship between their health status and supplements. The measurement / evaluation / judgment table 85 displays the evaluation and judgment of each measurement value. Items for which medical examinations are recommended and items that are below the standard can be confirmed at a glance. The advice display 93 displays the advice to be sent to the member 58. In this example, advice is displayed for each expert. Alternatively, advice may be displayed all at once. The inquiry display 86 also allows members to consult with pharmacists, etc. For example, a chat function can be used to consult with a pharmacist or registered dietitian. The chat can be automated with advice from a chatbot, or it can be given directly to users who wish to talk directly. It also has a function to search for nearby pharmacies based on the user's location information, so that users who wish to talk directly to a pharmacist or registered dietitian can be directed to a nearby pharmacy. It can also present recommended videos 87 based on the user's rating.

[0046] In this way, this system allows health-related information to be displayed on individual members' terminals, so even people who rarely visit medical institutions can become more aware of their health.

[0047] The instructor terminal 90 displays advice to be sent by instructor 72 via an instructor terminal app 91. The trainer can easily check on the terminal the medical precautions and health status advice that the member should take when training. The instructor terminal 90 displays an advice display 93 for each member, which displays the ID number, name, advice to be sent by instructor 72, and measurement value / evaluation value / assessment table 92. The trainer checks the ID number and name of the member in charge and confirms the points that the member should pay attention to when training as advice. Furthermore, by viewing the measurement value / evaluation value / assessment table 92 together, the trainer can confirm the member's medical information and improve their own medical skills.

[0048] Furthermore, when a trainer receives advice from the system based on the knowledge and insight of pharmacists, registered dietitians, and physical therapists, the trainer can also receive consultation and advice directly from pharmacists at affiliated pharmacies. In system operation, the control unit 20 transmits advice to be sent by trainer 72 to the trainer's terminal 90, allowing the trainer to consult and receive advice via voice or chat with a registered dietitian, pharmacist, physical therapist, certified psychologist, or psychiatrist. Specifically, the trainer connects to a pre-selected pharmacist or other person via voice or chat through the terminal, and can consult or receive advice via voice or chat. While the advice to be sent by trainer 72 can be viewed by the member, if the trainer has questions or would like to confirm more detailed information, the trainer can directly consult and receive advice from an expert via voice or chat, thereby increasing the trainer's peace of mind. Furthermore, this system enhances follow-up for users during personal training.

[0049] While this embodiment describes an example of fitness club membership, the same can be considered for junior high, high school, and university sports clubs and youth sports teams. When students participate in club activities, the school teachers and coaches who serve as instructors, as well as the students' parents, often have little medical knowledge and are unable to provide advice that will lead to better health. Therefore, by conducting tests using health equipment before training or practice, students' health status can be assessed and appropriate training advice can be received. Furthermore, by receiving advice from instructors on what type of training they should do from a health perspective, appropriate guidance can be provided. This allows families, such as parents and close relatives, who are interested in their children's growth and physical development, to become users. The same applies to corporate sports clubs and professional sports teams.

[0050] Furthermore, for junior high, high school, and university sports clubs and youth sports groups, where members often gather for training as needed, it can be difficult to have measurement equipment permanently on-site. In such cases, health measurements can be taken by bringing the equipment to the relevant facilities. As long as the measurement equipment is in place, it can be used without any problems when students visit the training locations of junior high, high school, and university sports clubs and youth sports groups for training. Because the measurement equipment is small, it can be set up almost anywhere and is easy to remove.

[0051] In this way, with the sports group health management system of the present invention, health-related measurements are taken of group members, and they can receive advice from experts and instructors based on the results, allowing them to undergo appropriate training, thereby promoting health promotion.

[0052] In addition, members can have their health checked at the organization they visit regularly without having to visit other facilities, so they can manage their health without any burden.

[0053] Furthermore, after health-related measurements are taken within the group, members can obtain the results of their health check before starting training, allowing them to train in a way that suits their own physical condition.

[0054] Furthermore, members can access advice from multiple medical professionals for health-related measurements using a database of multiple medical professionals.

[0055] Furthermore, members can obtain advice on their own mobile devices such as smartphones, so they can use the service without the burden of having to purchase a new device.

[0056] Furthermore, members can easily understand the relationship between the supplements they take and their health condition, which can increase their interest in health.

[0057] Furthermore, the members are provided with a training menu based on the health-related measurement results by the instructor, so they can train in accordance with their health condition.

[0058] Furthermore, the instructor can grasp the medical conditions of the members without taking up other time, and can train the members without placing a medical burden on them.

[0059] The sports organization health management system according to the present invention is believed to have great industrial applicability as a system that allows organization members to grasp their health status without burden.
