  The ROM 15 is configured by a mask ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, or the like, and stores a computer program executed by the CPU 13 and data used for the computer program.

  The hard disk 16 is installed with various computer programs to be executed by the CPU 13, such as an operating system and application programs, and a database used for executing the computer programs. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the hard disk 16 includes a program for analyzing data transmitted from the hemoglobin measuring device 30, and an application program 16a for the subject to self-check his / her iron deficiency. And questionnaire information 16b and message information 16c that are used when the application program is executed.

  The application program 16a for self-checking the iron deficiency degree is a program for causing the PC 10 to function as the physical condition management support device 100. When the application program 16a is executed by the CPU 13, input of information regarding the subject's attributes (gender, age, etc.) and the degree of iron deficiency is accepted by the questionnaire method, and the hemoglobin concentration of the subject is measured using the hemoglobin estimator 30. It is configured to be. In the present embodiment, the application program 16a displays a result display screen 311 (see FIG. 3) based on the analysis result of the information on the subject's attributes and the information on the iron deficiency and the measurement result of the subject's hemoglobin concentration. 12 is configured to provide comprehensive information about the subject's iron deficiency and physical condition management related to the iron deficiency.

  The questionnaire information 16b is information displayed when accepting input of information regarding the subject's attributes (gender, age, etc.) and the iron deficiency. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the questionnaire information 16b includes four questionnaire items (questions 1 to 4 in FIG. 4) regarding the subject's attributes (gender, age, etc.) and a questionnaire item regarding the subject's iron deficiency degree. It consists of a total of 17 questions of 13 questions (questions 5 to 17 in FIG. 4). The questionnaire items regarding the degree of iron deficiency of these subjects are composed of questions regarding the physical condition of the subjects related to the deficiency of iron. In addition, the questionnaire items related to the physical condition of the subject are configured to answer by selecting “Yes” or “No” so that the subject can easily answer.

  The message information 16c to the subject is an advice message to the subject corresponding to the acquired iron deficiency degree and the measured hemoglobin concentration, as shown in FIG. A plurality of types of message information are provided in accordance with the combination of the degree of iron deficiency (score) and the hemoglobin concentration value of the subject. By selecting an appropriate message according to the analysis result of the iron deficiency degree and the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration, it is possible to provide the subject with a comprehensive evaluation of the analysis result of the iron deficiency degree and the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration. It is configured as follows.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the hemoglobin estimator 30 irradiates the subject's finger with light of a predetermined wavelength (such as near infrared rays) while the finger of the subject is set on the finger insertion portion 30a, and blood vessels in the finger. It is comprised so that it may image. As shown in FIG. 2, the hemoglobin estimator 30 includes a light source 31 that emits light to the subject's finger, and a light receiving unit 32 that receives the light emitted from the light source 31 and transmitted through the subject's finger. .

Further, the imaged image data is transmitted to the PC 10 and the image data is analyzed by the CPU 13 executing a measurement data analysis program. And it is comprised so that a test subject's hemoglobin concentration may be measured based on the width | variety of the blood vessel determined from the image, and the light absorbency by the hemoglobin in blood. In addition to the hemoglobin concentration, a venous oxygenation index (VOI) is calculated by analyzing the image data. This venous oxygenation index is a value related to the ratio of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin, which is calculated based on the fact that the light absorption characteristics of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin are different from each other. The venous oxygenation index decreases when the fingertip temperature is low (such as when blood circulation is poor) such as immediately after exposure to cold air or cold water. When this venous oxygenation index is low, The measurement conditions may not be appropriate, for example, the temperature is too low. Therefore, the reliability of the measured value of hemoglobin concentration can be determined based on the venous oxygenation index.

  The server 200 stores measurement data 201 and the like transmitted from the physical condition management support apparatus 100. Specifically, attribute information such as the sex, age, height, and weight of the subject, information on the physical condition of the subject (the question and the answer of the subject to the question), and information such as the measured hemoglobin concentration value of the subject are stored in the server 200. It is comprised so that it may be stored in.

  Next, a processing operation of the physical condition management support apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

As a result, an initial screen 301 is displayed on the display 12 as shown in FIG. In the lower part of the initial screen 301, a processing flow 303 of the physical condition management support apparatus 100 is provided so that the subject can easily grasp the outline of the iron deficiency check (processing operation of the physical condition management support apparatus 100). It is displayed. In addition, a “Start” button 302 is greatly displayed on the right side of the initial screen 301. The process starts when the subject clicks the “start” button 302 using the touch pad 11b or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in step S1, a questionnaire (question) process for the subject is performed. The questionnaire process is performed by displaying a question (questionnaire item) for the subject shown in FIG. 4 on the display 12 and receiving information input (answer to the question) by the subject using the keyboard 11a or the touch pad 11b. . When the information input of the questionnaire items is completed, the process proceeds to step S2, and the hemoglobin concentration of the subject is measured and analyzed using the hemoglobin estimator 30. And in step S3, the analysis result (iron deficiency degree) of the questionnaire for the subject obtained in step S1, the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration of the subject obtained in step S2, and the comprehensive result based on these analysis result and measurement result A result display screen 311 (see FIG. 3) including an evaluation message (see FIG. 5) is displayed on the display 12. Below, the detail of each process of step S1-S3 is demonstrated.

  First, the questionnaire process performed in step S1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In this questionnaire process, as shown in FIG. 8, in step S <b> 11, the questionnaire information 16 b stored in the hard disk 16 is read by the CPU 13 and the questionnaire items are displayed on the display 12. As shown in FIG. 4, the questionnaire regarding the subject's attributes consists of four pieces of information (questions) on the subject's sex, age, height, and weight. Questionnaire regarding the physical condition of the subject included questions about the presence or absence of subjective symptoms that may be caused by lack of iron, such as “I have become more tired recently” and “I may be said to have a bad complexion” or “Do not eat breakfast” It includes questions about the presence or absence of lifestyle habits that are likely to cause iron deficiency, such as “I often have dietary restrictions”. The questions related to the physical condition of the test subjects each have a corresponding iron deficiency degree (score), and the higher the corresponding number, the higher the iron deficiency degree (high possibility of iron deficiency). In FIG. 4, the degree of iron deficiency (score) when answers to each question (“Yes” and “No”) are selected is indicated by numbers in parentheses. The degree of iron deficiency (score) of each question is weighted according to the content of the question for each question item. That is, a higher score (iron deficiency degree) is set for a question that is closely related to iron deficiency. For example, the degree of iron deficiency (score) is more related to iron deficiency compared to items such as “I have recently become more tiring” and “I may be said to have a poor complexion” (iron deficiency 1 point). Higher scores are set for questionnaire items such as “I am diet-restricting diet” and “I have increased hair loss and split hair” (two iron deficiencies).

  As shown in FIG. 8, questionnaire items are displayed on the display 12 in step S11, and information input by the subject is accepted by the CPU 13 in step S12. When an information input is accepted via the keyboard 11a or the touch pad 11b, the process proceeds to step S13. In step S13, the CPU 13 determines whether or not all items have been answered. When there is an unanswered question, the process returns to step S11, and the CPU 13 displays the questionnaire item and accepts the input of the answer again. When steps S11 to S13 are repeated, answers (information input) to a total of 17 questions including a questionnaire regarding the subject's attributes (4 questions) and a questionnaire regarding the physical condition of the subject (13 questions) are obtained. The process proceeds to step S14.

  Next, in step S14, the B13 (Body Mass Index) of the subject is calculated by the CPU 13 based on the height and weight information in the questionnaire (four questions) regarding the subject's attributes. The formula for calculating BMI is shown in the following formula (1).

B = W / H ² (1)
In the above formula (1), B represents BMI (kg / m ² ), W represents body weight (kg), and H represents height (m). In addition, when this BMI is less than 18.5, it is considered as “low weight”, and there is a possibility that the subject is deficient in iron due to a diet or other dieting.

  In step S <b> 15, the degree of iron deficiency of the subject is calculated by the CPU 13 based on the result of the questionnaire regarding the physical condition of the subject (13 questions). Specifically, based on the points set by weighting according to the answers to each questionnaire item in FIG. 4 (see the “Yes” or “No” column), the subject's iron deficiency is calculated as the total score for each questionnaire item. It is calculated as a numerical value (score). In addition to the questionnaire regarding the physical condition of the subject (13 questions), there is a possibility of iron deficiency even when the subject's BMI value is low (less than 18.5 BMI). Is set.

  In step S <b> 16, the CPU 13 sets a threshold value for determining whether or not to perform remeasurement in measuring the hemoglobin concentration of the subject. As will be described later, when the hemoglobin concentration below this threshold is measured, the measurement accuracy is improved by performing remeasurement of the hemoglobin concentration. The threshold value of the hemoglobin concentration is set as the lower limit value of the reference value (appropriate range) of the hemoglobin concentration. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the reference value of the hemoglobin concentration differs for each subject depending on the sex, age, and presence / absence of pregnancy. Specifically, for example, in the case of men and women under 12 years old, the reference value of hemoglobin concentration is about 11 (g / dl) or more and about 15 (g / dl) or less. In this case, the threshold value is set to about 11 (g / dl). In addition, for women over the age of 15, the standard value of hemoglobin concentration is about 12 (g / dl) or more and about 15 (g / dl) or less. During pregnancy, the standard value of hemoglobin concentration is about 11 (g / dl) or more and about 15 (g / dl) or less. Thus, the threshold is set to about 12 (g / dl) and about 11 (g / dl) for women 15 years and older and during pregnancy, respectively. Thus, based on the information on the sex and age of the subject included in the questionnaire regarding the subject's attributes (4 questions) and the information regarding the presence or absence of pregnancy of the subject included in the questionnaire regarding the physical condition of the subject (13 questions), the hemoglobin concentration Is set.

  In step S <b> 17, the CPU 13 determines whether or not “subject's iron deficiency is 8 or more” and “subject's BMI is less than 18.5 (low weight)”. If it is determined that this condition is met based on the results of steps S14 and S15, the process proceeds to step S18, where the number of hemoglobin concentration measurements in the hemoglobin concentration measurement / analysis process of step S2 (see FIG. 7) is 2. Set to times. On the other hand, if the condition is not met, the process proceeds to step S19, and the number of times of hemoglobin concentration measurement is set to one. That is, if it falls under at least one of “subject's iron deficiency degree is 8 or more” and “subject's BMI is less than 18.5 (low weight)”, it is considered that there is a high possibility of iron deficiency. Regardless of the measurement result of the first hemoglobin concentration, the hemoglobin concentration is measured twice. Thus, the questionnaire process in step S1 is completed.

  Next, the hemoglobin concentration measurement / analysis process performed in step S2 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  First, in step S21 of FIG. 10, the CPU 13 initializes (sets to “0”) a counter for counting the number of measurements in the measurement of hemoglobin concentration. In step S22, the CPU 13 determines whether a measurement start button (not shown) has received a pressing input. At this time, a measurement start button is displayed on the display 12 in the same manner as the “Start” button 302 on the initial screen 301 shown in FIG. 6 together with the description of the measurement method by the hemoglobin estimator 30 and the like. Then, the determination in step S22 is repeated until the subject receives an input for pressing the measurement start button via the keyboard 11a or the touch pad 11b. Then, when the pressing input of the measurement start button is accepted, the process proceeds to step S23.

  In step S <b> 23, the CPU 13 transmits a measurement start signal to the hemoglobin estimator 30 via the I / O 19. Based on this measurement start signal, the blood vessel of the subject's finger is imaged by the hemoglobin estimator 30. The captured image data is transmitted from the hemoglobin estimator 30 to the PC 10.

  In step S24, the CPU 13 determines whether measurement data (image data) from the hemoglobin estimator 30 has been received. Until the image data is received, the CPU 13 waits for transmission of measurement data (image data) by repeating the determination in step S24. When measurement data (image data) is received, the process proceeds to step S25.

  In step S25, the CPU 13 calculates the hemoglobin concentration of the subject by performing image analysis on the received measurement data. In step S26, the CPU 13 adds "1" to the counter value. That is, the number of measurements is counted for one time.

  In step S27, the CPU 13 determines whether the hemoglobin concentration cannot be measured. If the image of the subject cannot be acquired normally, such as when the subject's finger is not set at an appropriate position of the hemoglobin estimator 30, it is determined that measurement is impossible and the process proceeds to step S28. In step S28, an error is displayed on the display 12, and the process is terminated. When the hemoglobin concentration is calculated from the received measurement data (when measurement is not impossible), the process proceeds to step S29.

  In step S29, the CPU 13 determines whether or not the calculated hemoglobin concentration is less than a set threshold value. That is, in step S16 (see FIG. 8), the hemoglobin concentration is set by comparing the threshold value of the hemoglobin concentration set based on the sex, age, and presence / absence of pregnancy with the measured hemoglobin concentration value. It is determined whether it is less than the threshold value. If the hemoglobin concentration value is less than the threshold value, the process proceeds to step S30. If the hemoglobin concentration value is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the process proceeds to step S31.

  In step S30, the CPU 13 determines whether or not the counter value is “1”. That is, it is determined whether or not the number of measurements is the first time. When the number of times of measurement is the first time, the process returns to step S22 in order to perform remeasurement based on the fact that the hemoglobin concentration has fallen below the threshold value. On the other hand, when the number of measurements is the second time, the hemoglobin concentration measurement / analysis process ends.

  In step S31, the CPU 13 determines whether or not the measured hemoglobin concentration is low reliability data. In the image analysis of the measurement data (image data) in step S25, for example, when the temperature of the fingertip is low, such as when the blood vessel passes through a deep position from the finger skin surface or immediately after exposure to cold or cold water (venous oxygen) When the conversion index is low), the reliability of the hemoglobin concentration value by image analysis is lowered. For this reason, when it is determined that the measured hemoglobin concentration is low reliability data, the process proceeds to step S32, and the low reliability flag is set. On the other hand, if it is determined that the data is not low-reliability data, the process proceeds to step S33 without setting the flag.

  In step S33, the CPU 13 determines whether or not the counter value is equal to or greater than the set number of measurements. If the number of measurements is 2 (the iron deficiency is 8 or more and / or less than 18.5 BMI) and the counter value is “1”, the process returns to step S22 and the second measurement is started. On the other hand, when the number of measurements is 1 (the iron deficiency is less than 8 and BMI is 18.5 or more), or when the number of measurements is 2 and the counter value is “2”, the counter value is When it is determined that the number of measurements is equal to or greater than the set number of measurements, the hemoglobin concentration measurement and analysis process ends. Thus, the hemoglobin concentration measurement / analysis process is completed, and the process proceeds to the result display process in step S3.

  Next, the result display process performed in step S3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 to 13. FIG.

  In the result display process, the result display screen 311 is displayed on the display 12 by the CPU 13 as shown in FIG. First, in step S41 of FIG. 11, the hemoglobin concentration value as the measurement result and the iron deficiency degree as the analysis result are numerically displayed. That is, the iron deficiency degree (score) calculated in step S1 (see FIG. 7) is displayed in the iron deficiency degree display field 312 of the result display screen 311, and the hemoglobin measurement value display field 313 (hemoglobin estimated value) is stepped. The hemoglobin concentration value measured in S2 (see FIG. 7) is displayed. Here, as described above, when the degree of iron deficiency is 8 or more and when the BMI is less than 18.5 (when the number of measurements is two), or when the measured hemoglobin concentration value is less than the set threshold value The measurement value acquired the second time is adopted when it corresponds to at least one of (when re-measurement is performed) (when measurement is performed twice). This is because the measurement accuracy is likely to be low in the first measurement because the subject is not familiar with the measurement. If the low reliability flag is set in step S32 (see FIG. 10), a mark (not shown) indicating low reliability is displayed in the hemoglobin measurement value.

  Next, in step S42, a chart (graph) 314 using the hemoglobin concentration and the iron deficiency as parameters is displayed on the result display screen 311. As shown in FIG. 3, the chart 314 is a chart in which the horizontal axis represents the hemoglobin measurement value (estimated value) and the vertical axis represents the degree of iron deficiency. In the chart 314, a plot point 314a indicating the iron deficiency level of the subject as the analysis result and the hemoglobin concentration of the subject as the measurement result is displayed.

  At this time, the chart 314 is displayed in a color-coded manner with a boundary between the hemoglobin concentration threshold set in step S16 and the iron deficiency threshold (8 points) indicating whether or not to set the number of measurements to two. The As shown in FIG. 9, the threshold value of the hemoglobin concentration differs depending on the subject's attribute information (gender, age, etc.), so the boundary line on the horizontal axis of this chart 314 is also arranged at a position corresponding to the threshold value for each subject. The For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the subject is a male 15 years of age or older, the hemoglobin concentration threshold (lower limit of the reference value) is 13 (g / dl) (see FIG. 9). The axis boundary line is also arranged at a position of 13 (g / dl). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13, when the subject is a man and woman younger than 12 years or pregnant, the threshold value of hemoglobin concentration is 11 (g / dl), so the boundary line on the horizontal axis of the chart 314 is also 11 It arrange | positions in the position of (g / dl).

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the chart 314, the region 314 b in which the hemoglobin concentration is less than the threshold value and the iron deficiency degree is greater than or equal to the threshold value is a caution area that is highly likely to be deficient in iron. Displayed in a color indicating that attention is required. The region 314c where the hemoglobin concentration is less than the threshold and the iron deficiency is below the threshold and the region 314d where the iron deficiency is the threshold and the hemoglobin concentration is the reference value (appropriate value) are measured for subjective symptoms and hemoglobin concentration. Since it is an area where there is a problem with any of the values, it is lighter than the red area (area 314b), but it is displayed in yellow or the like (shown as plain in the figure) indicating that attention is required The On the other hand, the region 314e in which the hemoglobin concentration is the reference value (appropriate value) and the degree of iron deficiency is less than the threshold value is displayed in blue indicating that there is no problem in either the hemoglobin concentration or the iron deficiency degree. .

  Next, in step S43, the CPU 13 reads a message for comprehensive evaluation of the current analysis result and measurement result from the message information 16b of the hard disk 16, and displays it in the message display field 315 of the result display screen 311. In this message, a plurality of different message patterns are prepared for each subject attribute so that different messages are displayed according to the subject's attribute information (gender, age, presence / absence of pregnancy, etc.). FIG. 5 shows a message pattern for men and women 15 years and older. This message pattern includes nine types of messages corresponding to the hemoglobin concentration and the iron deficiency level. That is, the iron deficiency degree is 2 points or less (satisfaction), 3 points or less and less than 8 points (possibility of iron deficiency) and 8 points or more (high possibility of iron deficiency) Each message is included. The three types of messages for each category correspond to three types of concentration categories in which the hemoglobin concentration is a reference value (above the threshold value), a value slightly lower than the threshold value, and a value lower than the threshold value. A message corresponding to the subject's hemoglobin concentration and the degree of iron deficiency is selected depending on which of the above categories is applicable. In addition, this message pattern is displayed when a predetermined condition (question 13 “I am dieting with diet”) (see FIG. 4) matches “Yes” and less than BMI 18.5). An additional message M2 is also included. Thus, the message displayed in the message display field 315 is selected from a plurality of messages according to the combination of the subject's iron deficiency degree and the hemoglobin concentration. Therefore, in the example of the result display screen 311 in FIG. 3, the iron deficiency degree is 11 points (8 points or more) and the hemoglobin concentration is 12.5 (g / dl) (12 (g / dl) or more). Message M1 (improvement level required) is selected and displayed in the message display field 315. Note that the example shown in the result display screen 311 of FIG. 3 shows an example where the subject is a woman who is 15 years of age or older.

  Thus, the result display process in step S3 is completed. The test subject can return to the initial screen 301 (see FIG. 6) by inputting a “return to top” button 316 on the result display screen 311. Further, the result display screen 311 can be printed using the printer 40 (see FIG. 2), and the analysis result, measurement result, answer contents of each questionnaire item, etc. can be transmitted to the server 200 (see FIG. 2). is there. In this way, the processing operation of the physical condition management support apparatus 100 is performed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the result display screen 311 including the analysis result of the information related to the subject attribute by the CPU 13 and the information related to the subject's iron deficiency and the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration by the hemoglobin estimator 30 is displayed on the display 12. By doing so, both the analysis result of the information on the subject's attributes and the information on the subject's iron deficiency and the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration can be displayed on the display 12. For this reason, the subject can confirm both the measurement result and the analysis result of the hemoglobin concentration on the screen of the display 12 without performing an operation of comparing the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration with a table prepared separately. it can. Thus, the subject can easily make an objective determination on the iron sufficiency based on the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration displayed on the screen of the display 12 and the analysis result of the iron deficiency degree.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the CPU 13 displays on the display 12 the result display screen 311 including the chart 314 using the subject's iron deficiency degree and the subject's hemoglobin concentration obtained by the hemoglobin estimator 30 as parameters. By displaying, since the subject can easily visually grasp the iron satisfaction status from the chart 314 displayed on the display 12, it is possible to more easily determine the iron satisfaction status. it can.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the chart 314 on the result display screen 311 is color-coded using the threshold value of the subject's iron deficiency degree threshold (8 points) and the hemoglobin concentration threshold value as a boundary. Lower than that and the iron deficiency level is higher than the threshold value 314b (area where the possibility of iron deficiency is high) is displayed in red indicating that attention is required. Can be displayed so that it can be grasped more easily.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the CPU 13 displays a message (see FIG. 5) regarding the analysis result and the measurement result according to the iron deficiency degree and the hemoglobin concentration of the subject (see FIG. 5) in the message display field 315 of the result display screen 311. By displaying the information, it is possible to provide the subject with objective information that can be used as a reference when the subject makes a judgment on the iron sufficiency status. Thereby, the test subject can easily make an objective judgment about the iron sufficiency.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the degree of iron deficiency of the subject as the analysis result by the CPU 13 is equal to or greater than the threshold (8 points), the hemoglobin estimator 30 measures the number of times the subject's hemoglobin concentration is measured twice. In addition to the first measurement, if the subject's degree of iron deficiency is higher than the threshold (8 points) (the possibility of iron deficiency is high), the measurement accuracy is likely to be low due to unfamiliarity with the measurement. As a result of the re-measurement of the hemoglobin concentration (second measurement), the measurement accuracy of the hemoglobin concentration for a subject who has a high possibility of iron deficiency can be increased.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the BMI of the subject as an analysis result is less than 18.5 (low weight), the number of times the subject's hemoglobin concentration is measured by the hemoglobin estimator 30 is set to two. Therefore, since it is highly possible that a subject corresponding to low weight is deficient in iron due to dietary restrictions, etc., when it is determined that the subject is low weight based on the subject's height and weight (when BMI is less than 18.5) As a result of re-measurement of hemoglobin concentration (second measurement) in addition to the first measurement, the measurement accuracy is likely to be low due to unfamiliarity with the measurement, as a result, for subjects with a high possibility of iron deficiency The measurement accuracy of hemoglobin concentration can be increased.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, when the hemoglobin concentration measured by the hemoglobin estimator 30 is equal to or less than a threshold value (lower limit of the reference value), the hemoglobin concentration of the subject is remeasured by the hemoglobin estimator 30. Therefore, in the case where the hemoglobin concentration of the subject is lower than the second threshold (the possibility of lack of iron is high), in addition to the first measurement, the measurement accuracy is likely to be low due to inexperience in the measurement. As a result of performing the re-measurement (second measurement), it is possible to improve the measurement accuracy of the hemoglobin concentration for the subject who is highly likely to be deficient in iron.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the CPU 13 sets the threshold value of the hemoglobin concentration according to the sex, age, and presence / absence of pregnancy, so that the appropriate range (reference value) of the hemoglobin concentration is mainly set. Since it can be determined according to gender, age and presence / absence of pregnancy, an appropriate hemoglobin concentration threshold value can be set for each subject based on such information.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the hemoglobin estimator includes the light source 31 that irradiates light on the subject's finger and the light receiving unit 32 that receives the light emitted from the light source 31 and transmitted through the subject's finger. 30 is used to image the subject's finger, and the CPU 13 analyzes the data (image data) received by the light receiving unit 32 to obtain the subject's hemoglobin concentration, thereby measuring the subject's hemoglobin concentration. Can be performed without blood sampling. As a result, the subject himself / herself can perform hemoglobin concentration measurement alone, and based on the measurement result of the hemoglobin concentration, it is possible to easily and easily determine the iron sufficiency status.
