Abstract

There is provided a portable terminal device, and a lifestyle-related disease patient—medical institution cooperation system, which collects a user'"'"'s biological data and life data, so that it is possible to quickly receive advice from a specialist, and data accumulation and analysis over a long period is possible, to accurately comprehend deviations in lifestyle habits and the life of a patient, and to give a highly reliable medical service. The invention is a terminal device which can be carried by the user, comprising: a measuring unit which measures the user'"'"'s in-vivo substance so as to obtain biological data; an input unit which can input life data including at least the user'"'"'s food intake contents; a data storage unit which readably stores basic data including the biological data and the life data, and a display unit which displays the data.

Claims

1. A portable terminal device which can be carried by a user comprising:

an input unit which can input life data including a user'"'"'s food intake contents;

a data storage unit which readably stores basic data including said life data; and

a display unit which displays the data, and said input unit, when inputting said food intake contents, sets a pattern to suit the user'"'"'s dietary habits and classifies fixed unites for each food to enable selection thereof.

2. A portable terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising a measuring unit which can measure a user'"'"'s in-vivo substance to obtain biological data, and said basic data includes said biological data and said life data.

3. A portable terminal device according to claim 1, wherein said data storage unit is removably provided with respect to said portable terminal device.

4. A portable terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising a data transfer unit which transfers data between the outside and said portable terminal device.

5. A portable terminal device according to claim 2, wherein said biological data includes measurement time point data showing a measurement time point when said in-vivo substance is measured by said measuring unit.

6. A portable terminal device according to claim 2, wherein said measuring unit is an in-vivo substance measuring apparatus which is detachably and data transferably connected to the main body of said portable terminal device.

7. A portable terminal device according to claim 4, wherein said display unit, said input unit, and/or said data transfer use a display unit and an input unit or a communication unit of a portable telephone which is detachably and data transferably connected to the main body of said portable terminal device.

8. A portable terminal device according to claim 1, wherein said input unit previously sets a food intake pattern according to special conditions and a pattern based on lifestyle habits of different meals, so as to suit the user'"'"'s dietary habits, and classifies said fixed units for each food into levels such as large quantity, medium quantity, and small quantity, to enable selection thereof.

9. A portable terminal device according to claim 1, wherein said basic data includes exercise data showing a user'"'"'s exercise quantity.

10. A portable terminal device according to claim 9, further comprising an exercise quantity measuring apparatus for measuring the exercise quantity of a user carrying said device so as to obtain a part or all of the exercise data.

11. A portable terminal device according to claim 9, wherein a part or all of said specified exercise data is input from said input unit.

12. A portable terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising a clinical data creating section which creates clinical data based on said basic data.

13. A portable terminal device according to claim 12, wherein said clinical data creating section creates a table showing a causal relation with food intake, and graphs the data corresponding to clinical analysis.

14. A portable terminal device according to claim 11, wherein said clinical data creating section creates an acceptable intake on the day, based on a difference between a limited calorific intake per day and ingested calories on the day.

15. A portable terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising a source material creating section which creates source material having the accumulated basic data or clinical data statistically processed.
