a user management module which manages information about the user and health data of the user obtained through the measuring of the health status of the user; and

a protocol module which transmits the health data and the information.

2. A health management station comprising:

a user management module which manages information concerning a user who uses a health measurement device;

a data management module which manages health data of the user obtained through measurement of a health status of the user and feedback data received from a health management service server; and

a protocol module which transmits the health data and the feedback data.

3. The health management station of claim 2, further comprising a measurement module which measures the health status of the user.

4. The health management station of claim 2, further comprising an input module which receives further information about the health status of the user.

5. A health management service server comprising:

a user management module which manages information about a user received from a health management station;

a data analysis module which analyzes the information and health data of the user received from the health management station, and generates feedback data based on a result of analyzing the information and the health data;

a data management module which manages the health data and the feedback data; and

a protocol module which transmits the health data and the feedback data.

6. The health management service server of claim 5, wherein the data analysis module generates the feedback data by assigning a weighted value according to compliance with previously provided feedback data.

7. A health guide station comprising:

a device connection module which transmits guide information received from a health planner;

a user authentication module which authenticates a user;

a data management module which manages the guide information, and health data of the user and feedback data received from a health management service server; and

a protocol module which transmits the guide information and the health data.

8. The health guide station of claim 7, further comprising a measurement module to measure a health status of the user.

9. The health guide station of claim 7, wherein the health data and the feedback data are received from the health management service server to generate the guide information.

10. A system for providing a health management service, the system comprising:

a health measurement device which measures a health status of a user and transmits health data of the user obtained through the measurement;

a health management station which receives the health data from the health measurement device, transmits the health data, and manages feedback data; and

a health management service server which receives the health data from the health management station, and generates feedback data based on the health data, and transmits the feedback data to the health management station.

11. The system of claim 10, further comprising a health guide station which transmits guide information received from a health planner to the health management service server.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the health measurement device comprises:

a measurement module which measures the health status;

a user authentication module which authenticates the user;

a user management module which manages the health data and information about the user; and

a protocol module which transmits the health data and the information.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the health management station comprises:

a user management module which manages information concerning the user;

a data management module which manages the health data and the feedback data received from the health management service server; and

a protocol module which transmits the health data and the feedback data.

14. The system of claim 13, further comprising a measurement module which measures the health status.

15. The system of claim 10, wherein the health management service server comprises:

a user management module which manages information about the user received from the health management station;

a data analysis module which analyzes the information and the health data received from the health management station, and generates the feedback data based on a result of analyzing the information and the health data;

a data management module which manages the health data and the feedback data; and

a protocol module which transmits the health data and the feedback data.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the data analysis module generates the feedback data by assigning a weighted value according to compliance of the user with previously provided feedback data.

17. The system of claim 11, wherein the health guide station comprises:

a device connection module which transmits the guide information received from the health planner;

a user authentication module which authenticates the user;

a data management module which manages the guide information, and the health data and the feedback data received from the health management service server; and

a protocol module which transmits the guide information and the health data.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the health guide station further comprises a measurement module to measure the health status of the user.

19. The system of claim 11, further comprising an authenticating device which stores information about the user and transmits the information to the health measurement device and the health guide station.

20. A system for providing a health management service, the system comprising:

a health management service server which analyzes health data of a user and manages a result of the analysis and feedback data generated based on the result of the analysis; and

an external service server which receives information about the user, the health data, and the feedback data from the health management service server and provides service appropriate for the user based on the information, the health data, and the feedback data.

21. The system of claim 20, wherein the external service server provides the service appropriate for the user by linking a service provider providing the service to the health management service server, transmitting an identification of the service to a terminal of the user using Short Message Service (SMS), or performing on/off line consultations with the user.

22. A method for providing a health management service, the method comprising:

measuring a health status of a user through a health measurement device;

authenticating the user;

transmitting health data obtained through the measurement of the health status and information about the user to a health management station;

storing the health data and the information;

transmitting the health data and the information to a health management service server;

generating feedback data at the health management service server; and

transmitting the feedback data to the health management station.

23. The method of claim 22, further comprising:

generating guide information based on the health data; and

transmitting the guide information to the health management service server.

24. The method of claim 23, wherein the guide information is generated through further measurement of the health status of the user.

25. The method of claim 23, further comprising requesting the health management service server to transmit health data and feedback data associated with the user.
