displaying, by a health care device, identification information that identifies a first patient;

displaying information on a health state of the first patient based on a bio-information measurement value of the first patient;

displaying, on a user interface, information on a health state of a second patient; and

displaying information on the health state of the second patient based on a bio-information measurement value of the second patient in response to an input through the user interface.

2. The health care management method according to claim 1, wherein the identification information comprises an image that represents the first patient expressed based on the bio-information measurement value of the first patient.

3. The health care management method according to claim 1, wherein the displaying information on the health state of the first patient comprises:

identifying a section of a display of the health care device in which the bio-information measurement value of the first patient is displayed; and

displaying information on the health state of the first patient corresponding to the bio-information measurement value of the first patient in the identified section.

4. The health care management method according to claim 1, further comprising:

displaying information on a schedule to measure bio-information of the first patient or a dosage schedule of the first patient; and

displaying the schedule to measure bio-information of the first patient or the dosage schedule of the first patient in response to user input through the user interface.

5. The health care management method according to claim 4, wherein the displaying the schedule to measure bio-information of the first patient or the dosage schedule of the first patient comprises, if the schedule comprises a plurality of schedules, providing a visual effect to at least one of the schedules so that the schedules are displayed according to priorities.

6. The health care management method according to claim 1, further comprising:

displaying information on a message related to the health state of the first patient; and

displaying the message related to the health state of the first patient in response to user input through the user interface.

7. The health care management method according to claim 1, further comprising:

displaying second identification information that identifies the second patient,

wherein the displaying information on the health state of the second patient comprises displaying information on the health state of the second patient based on the bio-information measurement value of the second patient in response to user input to select at least a portion of a region in which the information to identify the second patient is displayed.

8. The health care management method according to claim 1, further comprising:

displaying second identification information that identifies the second patient; and

displaying a message based on at least one of abbreviated information on a message of the second patient, abbreviated information on a schedule of the second patient, and abbreviated information on the health state of the second patient.

9. The health care management method according to claim 1, wherein the bio-information comprises at least one of blood pressure, blood glucose, exercise quantity, blood, peak flow, lifestyle, a menu, weight, body fat and dosage time.

10. The health care management method according to claim 1, further comprising:

displaying second identification information that identifies the second patient,

wherein a region in which the identification information is displayed has a visual effect different from that of a region in which the second identification information is displayed.

11. The health care management method according to claim 1, further comprising:

acquiring a prescription or menu for the first patient based on the health state of the first patient; and

displaying a location of a place where the prescription or menu is provided.

12. A health care device comprising:

a display that displays identification information that identifies a first patient and information on a health state of the first patient based on a bio-information measurement value of the first patient;

an input unit through which an input is received to display information on a health state of a second patient; and

a processor that controls the display to display information on a health state of the second patient based on a bio-information measurement value of the second patient in response to the user input.

13. The health care device according to claim 12, wherein the identification information comprises an image that represents the first patient expressed based on the bio-information measurement value of the first patient.

14. The health care device according to claim 12, wherein the display displays information on the health state of the first patient corresponding to a section of the display of the health care device in which the bio-information measurement value of the first patient is displayed.

15. The health care device according to claim 12, wherein the display displays information on a schedule to measure bio-information of the first patient or a dosage schedule of the first patient, and

the processor controls the display to display the schedule to measure bio-information of the first patient or the dosage schedule of the first patient in response to user input through a user interface.
