When the written health information trend file 18 is read (step S704), the score is reconstructed and it is determined that the body weight tends to increase (step S705), the obesity target of the disease table 1231 classified by pet type / age Compared with the body weight, the time when the current body weight becomes obese is predicted. For example, when the body weight reaches the body weight in less than one year, it is predicted that the body will develop obesity (steps S706 to S708).
Moreover, when it is not heading for an improvement tendency from the state of the poop as the appearance information 142 and the trend of the number of times, it is predicted as a digestive system disorder.
Similarly, alopecia is predicted when the trend of hair gloss in the appearance information 142 does not tend to improve.

The disease prediction logic 122 predicts a disease that is expected to occur in the future from the daily biological information 141 and the appearance information 142 with reference to the disease table 1231. Further, the medical cost prediction logic 123 outputs the disease prediction logic 122. The medical cost table 1232 for treating the disease is referred to.
For example, if it is predicted that obesity will occur, calculate the cost of the drug from the type and amount of the drug to cure the obesity and the expected healing period, and if it is cured at the hospital, output the hospital cost per visit (Steps S709, S710).
In addition, for diseases that cannot be cured in medicine and hospital visits and require surgery, the standard operation cost for each disease is also output.

  As mentioned above, by predicting disease from the current health status of pets, for example, when obesity is predicted, change the type of food, reduce the amount of food, increase the distance and time of the walk, It will be possible to prevent diseases in advance, such as increasing the amount of exercise, and medical costs will be reduced. In the unlikely event that you have a disease, the approximate medical expenses will be known in advance, so you can make advance preparations.
