Health support method and system thereof
First Claim
1. A health support method for an individual person, using multi-variate analysis and comprising:
- providing a support computer to judge a health condition of the individual person according to received health data of the individual person;
providing a user terminal connected to the support computer via a communication network;
acquiring, in advance, individual healthy reference data of the individual person while in a healthy state, the reference data comprising a plurality of variables, the variables being related to more than one organ of the body and/or more than one type of measurement;
determining a single reference space zero point of the individual person from the healthy reference data by running a program embedded in the support computer that subjects the reference data extracted from an individual data storage means to a multivariate analysis, thereby setting the reference space zero point of the individual person;
storing the reference space zero point in a reference data storage means;
inputting object data of the individual person while in an unknown state of health, the object data comprising the plurality of variables;
calculating, as a single number, a multivariate Mahalanobis generalized distance of the object data of the individual person from the reference space zero point of the individual person,forming a judgment about the health condition of the individual person as a function of a magnitude of the Mahalanobis generalized distance between the object data and the reference space zero point, wherein a lesser magnitude of the single number is associated more with a healthy state and a greater magnitude of the single number is associated more with an unhealthy state; and
outputting the judgment, thereby supporting a health promotion to the individual person.

Abstract
To provide a method for recognizing/analyzing a plurality of data concerning health management of an individual as his/her personal characteristic pattern data while considering the relationship between the data instead of analyzing each of the data separately; a health support method provided by the method; and a system thereof.
A support computer stores individual health data acquired in advance in individual data storage means and subjects the individual heath data extracted from the individual data storage means to a multivariate analysis, thereby setting a reference space of the individual, which is stored in reference data storage means. For the individual health data received from the user terminal, a Mahalanobis'"'"' generalized distance is calculated from the reference space of the individual read out from the reference data storage means and the health condition of the individual is judged according to the distance.

13. A health support system for an individual person, using multi-variate analysis and comprising:
-
a support computer to judge a health condition of the individual person according to received health data of the individual person; a user terminal connected to the support computer via a communication network, whereby the system acquires, in advance, individual healthy reference data of the individual person while in a healthy state, the reference data comprising a plurality of variables, the variables being related to more than one organ of the body and/or more than one type of measurement; wherein the support computer includes; individual data storage means for storing the reference data acquired in advance; a program to determine a single reference space zero point of the individual person from the healthy reference data by subjecting the reference data extracted from the individual data storage means to a multivariate analysis, thereby setting the reference space zero point of the individual person; reference data storage means for storing the set reference space zero point; the program also calculating, as a single number, a multivariate Mahalanobis generalized distance from the reference space zero point of the individual person, and; the program also judging the health condition of the individual as a function of a magnitude of the calculated Mahalanobis generalized distance between object data of the individual person while in an unknown state of health, the object data comprising the plurality of variables, and the reference space zero point, thereby supporting a health promotion to the individual person, wherein a lesser magnitude of the single number is associated more with a healthy state and a greater magnitude of the single number is associated more with an unhealthy state. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
