Abstract

A health management device includes: a signal output unit which outputs a start signal indicating a start timing when application of an exercise load on a subject is started; an acetone detection unit which detects an acetone concentration in a biogas of the subject; a clock unit which measures time; a storage unit which stores the start signal and the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit together with the time; and a display unit which displays a first transition data group of the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit before the start signal is received, and a second transition data group of the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit after the start signal is received, based on an output from the storage unit.

Claims

1. A health management device comprising:

a signal output unit which outputs a start signal indicating a start timing when application of an exercise load on a subject is started;

an acetone detection unit which detects an acetone concentration in a biogas of the subject;

a clock unit which measures time;

a storage unit which stores the start signal and the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit together with the time; and

a display unit which displays a first transition data group of the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit before the start signal is received, and a second transition data group of the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit after the start signal is received, based on an output from the storage unit.

2. The health management device according to claim 1, wherein the signal output further outputs an end signal indicating an end timing when the application of the exercise load on the subject is ended,

the storage unit further stores the end signal and the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit, and

the display unit displays a third transition data group of the acetone concentration outputted from the acetone detection unit after the end signal is received, together with the first transition data group and the second transition data group.

3. The health management device according to claim 2, further comprising an analysis unit which analyzes a metabolic state, based on at least one of the first transition data group, the second transition data group and the third transition data group stored in the storage unit,

wherein the display unit displays a result of analysis from the analysis unit.

4. The health management device according to claim 3, further comprising a recording unit which records meal time,

wherein the analysis unit analyzes the metabolic state including a correlation with the meal time, based on at least one of the first transition data group, the second transition data group and the third transition data group stored in the storage unit.

5. The health management device according to claim 1, wherein the signal output unit is a biological signal detection unit which detects a biological signal that changes according to the magnitude of the exercise load on the subject, and

the biological signal is stored in the storage unit, and the display unit displays the biological signal.

6. The health management device according to claim 5, wherein the biological signal detection unit is a pulse rate detection unit which detects a pulse rate of the subject.

7. The health management device according to claim 3, wherein the recording unit is an ethanol detection unit which detects an ethanol concentration in the biogas of the subject.

8. The health management device according to claim 3, wherein data groups about the same subject are accumulated repeatedly in the storage unit,

the analysis unit analyzes an exercise level that is recommended with respect to at least one of the exercise intensity and the duration of the exercise, based on the data groups accumulated in the storage unit, and

the display unit displays the recommended exercise level from the analysis unit.

9. The health management device according to claim 8, wherein if the amount of the data groups that are accumulated is small, the analysis unit recommends an exercise menu selected from plural initial exercise menus in which at least one of the exercise intensity and the duration of the exercise varies, based on the data groups.
