A portable device for collecting information about a human body is adapted to be worn on the human body and is capable of periodically performing cognitive faculty tests during daily life to discern fluctuations in the memory faculty of a wearer. The device displays a problem of cognitive tests on a display unit, and a wearer inputs an answer with an input unit. The wearer's response time is clocked with a clock unit, and the answer and the response time are stored in a memory unit in time sequence by control of a control circuit. The device can include a detection unit for detecting a living body signal to enable research on the relationship between behavioral patterns or temperamental trends and memory faculties, and the like.

Portable device for collecting information about living body

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.
