characterized by comprising

In the health care apparatus configured as described above, the question transmitting means of the health care server transmits questions for evaluating the health condition stored in the question database to the user terminal, and answer information to the questions is received from the user terminal for health care. sent to the server. When the health management server receives the reply information sent from the user terminal and the reply information acquisition means acquires the reply information, the health evaluation means evaluates the health condition of the user of the user terminal based on the reply information. demand. When the evaluation value of the health condition of the user is obtained, the health information transmission means sends the health information corresponding to the evaluation value and conforming to the current location information of the user terminal, or the health information corresponding to the evaluation value. Health information suitable for the current season is read from the health information database and transmitted to the user terminal. The health information transmission means reads from the health information database the health information corresponding to the evaluation value, which is suitable for both the current location information of the user terminal and the current season, and transmits the health information to the user terminal. It may be sent.

Here, the “evaluation value of health status” is typically a numerical evaluation of health status ranging from good to poor, but abstract expressions such as good, poor, and normal are used. It also includes evaluations that In addition, the "health information corresponding to the health condition evaluation value" includes, for example, advice information on daily life for maintaining a good health condition or improving the health condition. This includes diet menus, exercise menus, how to sleep, and so on. Also, the health information database stores one type or a plurality of types of health information as health information corresponding to one evaluation value.

Also, multiple types of health information are "classified by region", for example, when multiple types of meal menus are stored in the health information database as health information corresponding to a certain evaluation value, each meal menu For example, if the plurality of types of meal menus are classified according to the production area of the ingredients used for the exercise, or if, for example, a plurality of types of exercise menus are stored in the health information database, the exercise equipment used for each exercise menu It means that the plurality of types of exercise menus are classified according to the position information of the provided exercise facilities, the position information of the topography suitable for implementing the exercise menu, and the like. In addition, when multiple types of health information are "categorized by season", for example, when multiple types of meal menus are stored in the health information database as health information corresponding to a certain evaluation value, each meal menu When the plurality of types of meal menus are classified according to the season of the ingredients, or when, for example, a plurality of types of exercise menus are stored in the health information database, each exercise menu is classified according to the season suitable for implementation It means that the plurality of types of exercise menus are classified (for example, "swimming", which is one of the exercise menus, is classified as "summer", and "skiing" is classified as "winter"). The season determination means determines the "current season" from the location information of the user terminal and the current date information, or determines the "current season" based on the weather data provided by the weather data provider obtained via the network. can judge.

As described above, according to the present invention, among a plurality of types of health information corresponding to an evaluation value of a certain health condition, health information that matches the location information of the user terminal or health information that matches the current season is sent to the user terminal. Since the information is transmitted, it becomes easier for the user to work on improvement of lifestyle habits. In addition, by making health information compatible with the location information of the user terminal, for example, a meal menu with ingredients that are close to the place of production and consumption (so-called "local production for local consumption"), in other words, reduced the energy required to transport the ingredients. It is possible to propose a meal menu with a small environmental load to the user. Similarly, by making health information suitable for the current season, for example, a meal menu using a lot of highly nutritious vegetables harvested in outdoor cultivation, which requires less energy than greenhouse cultivation (in other words, environmental impact) A small meal menu) can be proposed to the user.

In the health care apparatus configured as described above, the questions for evaluating the state of health include, for example, questions about daily life and questions about physical condition. Questions about daily life include, for example, questions about the content of meals (meal menus (items), frequency and interval of meals, intake amount, etc.), questions about sleep details (sleep time, sleep depth), It includes questions about exercise content (exercise menu, exercise time, etc.) and questions about bowel movements (number of bowel movements, bowel movements). Questions about physical condition include, for example, questions about mental physical condition (presence or absence of fatigue, presence or absence of malaise, good or bad mood, etc.), physical physical condition (presence or absence of pain in the body, location of pain, complexion, including questions asking about the color of the tongue, etc.).

By the way, if there are many types of questions and a large number of questions sent to the user terminal, the amount of answer information increases, so detailed evaluation of the user's health condition becomes possible. User's burden increases.
Therefore, in the health care apparatus of the present invention, the health care server further comprises answer information accumulation means for accumulating the answer information acquired by the answer information acquisition means,
The question transmission means sequentially transmits a plurality of types of questions to the user terminal over a predetermined period of time,

The health management server 30 is actually a general-purpose server (so-called cloud server) installed by a telecommunications carrier, and includes a CPU, a memory, and a large-capacity storage device 31 such as a hard disk or semiconductor memory. The health care server 30 and the health care manager terminal 40 are managed by health care service providers (providing companies, operating companies, etc.).

The user terminals 20a, 20b, . . . 20n are terminals owned by users of the health care service, and have hardware resources such as personal computers, tablet terminals, smartphones, etc., each having a CPU and memory. Although three user terminals 20a, 20b, 20n are shown, the number of user terminals may be one, three or more. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which all of the user terminals 20a, 20b, . Some user terminals may be smartphones, and the remaining user terminals may be tablet terminals or personal computers. The user terminals 20a, 20b, . Touch panel In the following description, when there is no particular need to distinguish between a plurality of user terminals, these user terminals are collectively referred to as "user terminal 20".

As shown in FIG. 2, the health management server 30 includes a location information acquisition unit 301 that acquires location information of each user terminal 20, and a question for evaluating the health condition upon receiving a transmission request from the user terminal 20. A question transmission unit 302 that transmits to the user terminal 20, an answer information acquisition unit 303 that acquires the answer information sent from the user terminal 20 and stores it in the answer information storage unit 303a for each user terminal, and the answer information storage unit 303a An evaluation unit 304 that obtains an evaluation value of the user's health condition based on the stored response information for each user terminal 20, and health information that transmits health information corresponding to the evaluation value of the health condition by the evaluation unit 304 to the user terminal 20. A transmission unit 305 is provided. When a predetermined amount of answer information is accumulated as a result of storing the answer information for each user terminal 20 in the answer information storage unit 303a for a predetermined period, the evaluation unit 304 evaluates the health condition of the user based on the answer information. Find the evaluation value of The evaluation unit 304 has a function of obtaining an evaluation value of the user's health condition and a function of evaluating the user's degree of interest in environmental issues based on the answer information accumulated in the answer information storage unit 303a. ing. The location information acquisition unit 301 acquires location information of the user terminal 20 from GPS (Global Positioning System) provided in the user terminal 20 . The location information acquisition unit 301 also functions as season determination means for determining the current season from the location information of the user terminal 20 and the current date information.

Therefore, the evaluation unit 304 doubles as the health evaluation means and environment evaluation means of the present invention. In addition, the location information acquisition unit 301, the question transmission unit 302, the answer information acquisition unit 303, the answer information storage unit 303a, and the health information transmission unit 305 are respectively the location information acquisition means, the question transmission means, the answer information acquisition means, and the answer information acquisition means of the present invention. It corresponds to answer information accumulation means and health information transmission means.

The large-capacity storage device 31 stores a user information storage unit 311 that stores information about the user of the health management device 1, and data about multiple types of questions and answers to each question for evaluating the user's health condition. It has a question-answer database 312 stored in correspondence and a health information database 313 in which one or more types of health information corresponding to health condition evaluations are stored. The question data and answer data include data for displaying a question screen and an answer input screen on the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20 . The question-answer database 312 corresponds to the question database of the present invention.

The health information stored in the health information database 313 includes diet advice information, exercise advice information, life activity advice information, oriental medicine advice information, mental advice information, and the like. The oriental medical advice information is, for example, information that suggests acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, acupuncture points, etc. suitable for the user's health condition. Mental advice information refers to counseling or the like suitable for a user who is mentally troubled or under stress.

The questions stored in the question-answer database 312 include questions about daily living activities (meal, sleep, exercise, etc.), questions about physical condition, questions about how to spend leisure time, and the like. In addition, there were subjective physical condition questions such as feeling heavy/light, feeling good/bad, and objective physical condition questions such as pale complexion, discolored tongue, and fever. contains. These objective physical condition questions are regarded as information necessary for understanding the state of pre-symptomatic disease in Oriental medicine. Furthermore, among the questions stored in the question-answer database 312, there are question items (hereinafter referred to as "environment-related questions") for examining whether or not the user is interested in environmental problems and the burden that the user's daily living activities have on the environment. items) are included. The environment-related question items may be question items independent of the question items related to daily life activities, or part or all of the environment-related question items may also serve as the question items related to daily life activities.

A plurality of answer options are set for each question stored in the question-answer database 312, and the question is answered by selecting an appropriate option. A score is assigned to each answer option, and the evaluation unit 304 aggregates the scores of the options included in the answer information for each user terminal 20 accumulated in the answer information storage unit 303a to calculate a health evaluation value. , evaluates the health condition of the user based on the evaluation value. Similarly, responses to environment-related questions are also composed of multiple options, and each option is given a score. The evaluation unit 304 calculates an environment evaluation value by aggregating the points of the answer options corresponding to the environment-related question items included in the answer information for each user terminal 20 accumulated in the answer information storage unit 303a, and calculates the evaluation value. Evaluate the user's interest in environmental issues based on

For example, FIG. 6A shows answer options for environment-related question items and points given to each option. All of the environment-related question items shown in FIG. 6A are also question items regarding daily living activities. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, a weighting factor is set for each environment-related question item, and points are assigned to answer options. The weighting factor set for each environment-related question item and the points given to the answer options can be values determined based on the amount of CO2 emitted when implementing the contents of the answer options. . Specifically, for example, if the question item is about meals and the answer option is whether the ratio of seasonal food (food using seasonal ingredients) included in the meal is high or low, or local food (user's If the ratio is large or small, the greenhouse effect emitted in the manufacturing process of equipment, fertilizers, etc. used from food production to harvest A value calculated based on the amount of CO2 emissions converted from gas can be used as a weighting factor and a score assigned to an answer option. In-season food can be grown outdoors and generally requires less fertilizer, so it emits less CO2 than non-seasonal food. In addition, since the food produced in the user's residential area has a short transportation distance to the consumption area, the amount of CO2 emissions is smaller than that of the food produced outside the residential area. Therefore, the weighting factors and points calculated based on CO2 emissions reflect the environmental load. The evaluation unit 304 calculates an environment evaluation value by calculation from the user's answer option scores for all environment-related question items and the weighting coefficients of the questions corresponding to the answers.

Also, the health information stored in the health information database 313 is attached with geographic information representing the appropriate area, seasonal information representing the appropriate season, and an environmental load index value representing the magnitude of the environmental load. It can be classified by each season, each season, and each environmental load index value. In addition to the above, in the large-capacity storage device 31, a program for evaluating the health condition based on the answer information accumulated in the answer information storage unit 303a and a health information database are searched to correspond to the evaluation of the user's health condition. A search program for reading the health information to be used from the health information database, etc. are stored.

The health administrator terminal 40 uses a computer such as a personal computer or workstation equipped with a CPU and memory as hardware resources. The administrator operates the health administrator terminal 40 to update or delete information stored in the question-answer database 312 and the health information database 313 provided in the mass storage device 31 of the health management server 30. New information can be stored.

[2. Operation Flow of Health Management Device]
Next, the flow when the user uses the health management device 1 will be described. A user using the health management apparatus 1 first operates the user terminal 20 to access the homepage provided by the administrator of the health management apparatus 1, and installs predetermined application software (hereinafter referred to as "health management application"). Install it on your own user terminal 20 . Then, when the user terminal 20 is operated to start the health care application, an initial screen 211 shown in FIG. 3A is displayed on the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20.

Various screens including the initial screen 211 displayed on the touch panel 21 display a graphical user interface (GUI) necessary for input operations on the screens. The user can input various information and answer questions sent from the health management server 30 by operating the GUI on the operation screen.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the initial screen 211 displays a GUI with characters "login" and "create a new account". A user who uses the health management apparatus 1 for the first time first performs an input operation for registering user information. Specifically, the user touches the GUI "create new account" displayed on the initial screen 211 . Then, the display screen of the touch panel 21 switches to a registration screen 212 for items such as basic information and purpose of use shown in FIG. , Enter basic information such as name, date of birth, gender, height and weight. Also, one or two of health maintenance, disease recovery, and physical condition management are selected as the purpose of use of the health management apparatus 1 . After inputting the basic information and selecting the purpose of use, the touch panel 21 displays an input screen (not shown) for the user's current medical history, physical constitution, lifestyle habits, past history, and the like. When input operations for all items displayed on the input screen are completed, the input information (user information) is transmitted to the health management server 30 . After the user information is confirmed in the health management server 30, a user ID is assigned and stored in the user information storage unit 311 together with the user information. The above completes the user information registration process.

After completing the user information registration process, the health management server 30 sets questions necessary for evaluating the health condition of the user based on the registered user information. Here, the items and contents of questions to be set differ depending on the purpose of use of the health management device 1 and the age and sex of the user. As many questions as needed to check the degree are set.

Also, the health management server 30 sets a schedule for transmitting the set questions to the user terminal 20 . The health management server 30 sets a schedule such that all set questions are sent to the user terminal 20 in order over a predetermined period.

The predetermined period is, for example, one week, ten days, one month, etc., typically one month (30 days). If the predetermined period is one month and the number of questions exceeds 30, the schedule is set so that one or more questions are sent to the user terminal 20 per day, and the number of questions is less than 30. , the schedule is set so that one or zero questions are sent to the user terminal 20 per day. Also, for example, a schedule is set such that one question is sent to the user terminal 20 every day, or a schedule is set such that two questions are sent to the user terminal 20 every other day. Alternatively, the schedule may be set such that a certain number of questions are sent to the user terminal 20 at regular intervals.

When the schedule is set as described above, the health management server 30 sequentially transmits questions to the user terminal 20 according to the schedule. For example, FIG. 4A shows an example of a screen (question screen) of the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20 to which a question has been sent from the health management server 30 for the first time. On this screen, one or a plurality of questions for evaluating the state of health are displayed along with a greeting that indicates that the question has been sent to the user terminal 20 for the first time. FIG. 4(b) shows an example of a question screen corresponding to second and subsequent questions sent from the health management server 30 to the user terminal 20. As shown in FIG. This screen displays one or more questions to assess your health, along with everyday conversations. FIGS. 4A and 4B show examples in which two questions (a question about breakfast and a question about physical condition) are displayed.

On the question screen, a GUI of "Enter" is displayed for the first question. When this GUI is touched by the user, the screen of the touch panel 21 switches to the answer input screen (see FIG. 5(a)). Enter the type of nutrients that are available. Also, by touching the GUIs of "lunch", "dinner", and "snack" displayed at the bottom of the answer input screen, information about meals other than breakfast can be input.

When the input of the answer to the question about meals is completed, the screen of the touch panel 21 switches to the question screen (FIGS. 4A and 4B), and the next question (FIGS. 4A and 4B in the example shown in (question about physical condition), a GUI of "Enter" is displayed. When this GUI is touched by the user, the screen of the touch panel 21 is switched to an answer input screen for the next question as shown in FIG. 5B, for example. FIG. 5(b) shows an example in which the subjective physical condition question items and their answer options are represented by letters and pictures.

Here, the answer input screen for questions about diet and physical condition has been described as an example. is stored, and an answer input screen such as that shown in FIG.

4(a) and 4(b), a conversational question is displayed, but the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20 displays a question screen as shown in FIG. 5(d). shall be displayed. A plurality of question items are displayed on this question screen, and when the user touches one of the question items, the screen of the touch panel 21 switches to an answer input screen corresponding to the question item. On this response input screen, it is possible to input the number of meals per day, the time and frequency of exercise per day, objective question items regarding physical condition, and the responses thereto.

When the input of answers to all the questions transmitted from the health management server 30 to the user terminal 20 on that day is completed and the GUI of "Send" displayed on the touch panel 21 is touched, the health management server is sent from the user terminal 20. 30, the reply information is transmitted. When the answer information storage unit 303a of the health care server 30 receives the answer information sent from the user terminal 20, it stores it.

A series of operations including transmission of questions from the health management server 30 to the user terminal 20, transmission of response information from the user terminal 20 to the health management server 30, and storage of the received response information in the health management server 30 are performed according to the schedule described above. As a result, the answer information is accumulated in the answer information storage unit 303a. Then, when all the response information sent from the user terminal 20 for a predetermined period is accumulated in the response information storage unit 303a, the evaluation unit 304 analyzes the response information and calculates the health evaluation value and environmental evaluation value as described above. Calculate Then, based on the calculated health evaluation value and environmental evaluation value, the user's degree of interest in the health condition and environmental problems is evaluated. The health condition and environmental condition evaluation results are transmitted to the user terminal 20 .

FIG. 6B shows an example of the environmental evaluation value calculated from the points shown in the table of FIG. 6A, the contents of the evaluation, and an advice sentence. For example, a user with an environmental evaluation value of 86 points or more is judged to be very conscious of the environment, and the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20 displays the words "super eco-friendly life". On the other hand, users with an environmental evaluation value of 40 points or less are judged to have low awareness of the environment, and the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20 displays the words "Consideration for the environment is necessary".

FIGS. 7A to 7C show an example of the health condition evaluation results displayed on the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20. FIG. In this example, the "total score of mind and body" corresponding to the health evaluation value is displayed as the evaluation result of the health condition. Also displayed are a graph representing the overall physical condition of the user obtained from the answers to the subjective physical condition question items and the answers to the objective physical condition question items, and the type of user's physical condition. The user's physical constitution type consists of gasoline type, accelerator type, and engine type. Gasoline type is the type with disordered lifestyle such as eating and sleeping, accelerator type is the type with a lot of stress, and engine type is exercise. It represents the type whose physical strength is declining compared to age due to lack etc.

These three types are classified based on the concept of oriental medicine, and the nine items shown in the graph are balance, upper limb flexibility, lower limb flexibility, muscle strength, muscle mass, lung capacity, rhythm, nutrition, and spirit. is determined based on each score. Specifically, among the nine items, balance, upper-limb flexibility, and lower-limb flexibility are related to the accelerator type, diet, rhythm, and mental are related to the gasoline type, and muscle strength, muscle mass, and vital capacity are related to the engine type. be. Each item has a maximum score of 5, and the lowest average score for each type of item is set as the user's type. Also, when the average points of the items related to each type are the same, the gasoline type, accelerator type, and engine type are preferentially set.
FIG. 7(d) shows an example of the evaluation result of the degree of interest in environmental issues displayed on the touch panel 21 of the user terminal 20. As shown in FIG. From these display screens of the touch panel 21, the user can grasp his/her own health condition and recognize the presence or absence of consideration for the environment.
