Abstract
A measurement assisting system in which a point or points depending on the measurement result are given to the measurer, a reward depending on the obtained points are given to the measurer, and thus the measurer is motivated to make an accurate measurement. A patient sends data on the measurement made by using a blood sugar meter (1) to a self-measurement assisting server (6) through a game machine (2) with a communication function using a mobile telephone (3) over the Internet (4). The self-measurement assisting server (6) gives the patient a point or points corresponding to the evaluation of the measurement data. If the obtained points exceeds a predetermined value, the self-measurement assisting server (6) sends an electronic medium reward (on-line incentive) such as a game characteristic usable by the game machine (2) to the game machine (2) of the patient.
