Portable device for collecting information about living body, and system and method for collecting information about living body
First Claim
1. A wrist-wearable monitoring device comprising:
- a detecting circuit for detecting a physiological state of a user and outputting a corresponding signal;
a memory for storing the output signal of the detecting circuit and at least one question and an answer to the question;
a display unit for displaying the question;
an input unit for allowing manual input of an answer to the displayed question by the user;
a control circuit for controlling the detecting circuit to detect the physiological state at predetermined time intervals, controlling the display unit to display the question at predetermined time intervals, and controlling the memory to store manually input answers to the question sequentially with respect to time;
a case for accommodating the detecting circuit, the memory, the display unit, the input unit, and the control circuit; and
a wrist strap attached to the case for enabling the monitoring device to be worn on the user'"'"'s wrist.

Abstract
A portable living body information collection device is arranged to continuously measure living body information in daily life and to efficiently collect relating mental information by timely questioning about health. The device can be worn on a human body. The portable living body information collection device extracts living body information in electrical signal form by a detection circuit and a signal processing circuit, and discretizes the information by a conversion circuit. A control circuit stores the discretized living body information in a storage and displays questions about feelings and mental conditions on a display unit periodically or when a large changes occurs in living body information. The wearer inputs answers by using an input device, and the answers are also recorded as mental information in the storage. Write or read of the living body information and mental information recorded in the storage, and various set values to or from an external personal computer can be performed by means of a communication circuit.
