In this case, the data storage unit 22 may be configured to store the measured blood pressure accumulated by date, or to incorporate a suitable diet and cooking method according to the blood pressure to provide a high blood pressure-related diet.

In particular, the data processing unit 24 stores the measured blood pressure input from the data input unit in the data storage unit 22 for each corresponding date, and recognizes the date of inputting the measured blood pressure by itself so that the date is automatically stored. It is preferable, but may be configured to input a date arbitrarily measured by measuring the blood pressure by a separate input means (10).

As such, the data processing unit 24 accumulates and stores the measured blood pressure in the data storage unit 22 by date, and compares the measured blood pressure with the standard blood pressure to determine a health state, and measures the health state together with the measured blood pressure. The display means 30 is displayed in response to the avatar, and the change in the measured blood pressure and the change in the state of health for a certain period of time are displayed through the display means 30 in response to the avatar for each individual.

On the other hand, since the capacity of the data storage unit 22 is limited, the data processing unit 24 preferably deletes the measured blood pressure automatically except for a predetermined period of time or the set number of times in the data storage unit 22. The health status is determined by checking a change in blood pressure corresponding to a predetermined period or a set number of times.

For example, the reference maximum blood pressure range is 140 to 100 mmHg and the reference minimum blood pressure range is stored as 90 to 70 mmHg in the data storage unit 28, and further, the reference maximum blood pressure range and reference are stored in the data processing unit 24. The state of health is determined according to the minimum blood pressure range, specifically, if the blood pressure falls within the reference high blood pressure range and the reference low blood pressure range, it is normal, and if the blood pressure is higher than the reference high blood pressure range, the high blood pressure is determined. do.

In addition, the data processor 24 may check the health state in consideration of the measured blood pressure or the change in the measured blood pressure and provide a diet accordingly. For this purpose, personal information such as gender, age and weight of the user may be separately provided.

After selecting one, the measured blood pressure is directly input as a number through the data input unit 14, and the measured blood pressure is stored in correspondence with the avatar of the individual.

On the other hand, when measuring the blood pressure directly in the data input unit 14, even if the mode switch 12 is not pressed, the blood pressure is directly input by measuring the blood pressure directly in the data input unit 14 and at the same time blood pressure management in the temperature control mode After changing to the mode, various avatars are displayed on the display means 30, and when one of the various avatars is selected through the data input unit 14, the measured blood pressure is stored corresponding to the individual avatar.

Of course, the blood pressure input through the data input unit 14 allows the highest blood pressure and the lowest blood pressure to be input.

Next, the second step accumulates and stores the individual measured blood pressure input in the first step for each measurement date, and checks the health state by comparing the individual measured blood pressure with the standard blood pressure (see S3 and S4).

Here, the data processing unit 24 receives the measured blood pressure from the data input unit 14 and simultaneously recognizes a date by itself, accumulates and stores the measured blood pressure in the data storage unit 22 for each date, and stores the measured blood pressure as a standard. Analyze your health compared to your blood pressure

At this time, the reference maximum blood pressure range is 140 ~ 100 mmHg and at the same time the reference minimum blood pressure range is 90 ~ 70 mmHg, the health state is analyzed according to the reference maximum blood pressure range and the reference minimum blood pressure range in the data processing unit 24, specifically The state of health is analyzed as normal when the blood pressure falls within the range of the reference peak blood pressure and the reference minimum blood pressure, high blood pressure when the blood pressure is higher than the reference blood pressure range, and low blood pressure when the blood pressure is lower than the reference blood pressure range.

Of course, as described above, the data processing unit 24 analyzes the state of health, based on the change in blood pressure for a predetermined period, or to analyze based on the change in blood pressure for a set number of times, the health state thus analyzed To be stored in the data storage 22.

Next, in the third step, the cumulatively stored changes in the measured blood pressure and the corresponding health status are displayed corresponding to the avatars, and the blood pressure test timing is further determined based on the change in the measured blood pressure and the measured date. Display in response to an individual avatar (see S5 and S6).

In this case, the data processing unit 24 displays the measured blood pressure numerically together with the standard blood pressure in response to the avatar for each individual through the display means 30, or changes in the maximum stored blood pressure and the change in the lowest blood pressure or the health state. It is displayed in the form of a back so that changes in personal blood pressure can be easily managed and analyzed, and it can raise awareness of hypertension or hypotension.

In particular, the data processor 24 determines the blood pressure test time and informs the user through a letter or a sound in response to an avatar for each individual. Set to indicate when blood pressure should be checked by interval measurement date.

In addition, the data processing unit 24 displays not only the change in the measured blood pressure, the change in the state of health, the blood pressure test time, but also the diet and the cooking method thereof through the display means 30. Help prevent and manage disease
