A health data generation system has a measuring apparatus and a user terminal. The measuring apparatus transmits to the user terminal function type information indicating function of the measuring apparatus. The user terminal selects a desired function based on the received function type information and transmits the selected function as function designation information to measuring apparatus. The measuring apparatus transmits to the user terminal parameter specifying information designating the types of parameters necessary for performing the function specified by the function designation information. The user terminal prompts a user to input individual data to the parameters and registers the individual data together with the function designation information as registration information R.

A unified time can be simply set between data measuring instruments, and when the clock function of a specific data measuring instrument was damaged, the data measuring instrument can be immediately set to have the unified time, and when a certain data measuring instrument was managed with a plurality of PCs, it is not necessary to adjust the difference of time between the PCs, and in addition even when a data measuring instrument was used in the state with time zone difference, it is not necessary to adjust the difference of time due to the time zone difference. A PCcan obtain the time information of a provider side serverat the timing of transmitting measuring information to the provider side serverto synchronize therewith, and a relay keycan obtain the time information from the PCto synchronize therewith. The relay keyrecords a time stamp on the measuring information transmitted from the data measuring instrumentor the like based on the above time information, and transmits to the PCthe measuring information on which the time stamp was recorded, and the PCforwards the measuring information to the provider side server

Measuring time management system, data transmitter-receiver and measuring time management method

An apparatus is provided which allows a subject to determine by himself/herself whether or not he/she is apt to develop a deep-vein thrombosis in a region of a lower limb in a simple manner. A variation between the bioelectric impedance values measured respectively before and after a posture change is compared with a reference value. The posture change includes a bending and stretching exercise, a bending and stretching in knees in a seated position and a repeating of standing-up and sitting-down motion. Alternatively, a blood storage capacity of the lower limb region may be estimated from a gradient of bioelectric impedance represented by a variation thereof per unit time to determine whether or not the subject is apt to develop deep-vein thrombosis in the lower limb region.

Deep-vein thrombosis determination apparatus

Disclosed is a body weight managing apparatus comprising: a body weight measuring unit; a bioelectric impedance measuring unit; a body water content evaluation unit; and a health condition evaluation unit. According to the present invention, said body weight measuring unit measures a body weight of a person to be measured, said bioelectric impedance measuring unit applies an alternating current to a body of the person and measures a bioelectric impedance value, said body water content evaluation unit evaluates a body water content based on the bioelectric impedance value measured by said bioelectric impedance measuring unit, and said health condition evaluation unit evaluates a health condition of the person based on the measured body weight and the evaluation result from said body water content evaluation unit.

Body weight managing apparatus

Disclosed is a impedance measuring apparatus which is easy to use, and which is guaranteed to be free of incorrect measurement caused by some joints appearing in the current flowing passage intervening between two selected body parts and by the indefinite length between two selected body parts. The measuring apparatus of the present invention limits the place of the body under measurement to &ldquo;one body region&rdquo;, i.e. a selected joint-to-joint body portion or joint-free body portion such as the forearm extending from the wrist to the elbow or the portion extending from the ankle to the knee, and comprises a housing having a contact surface to be applied to one selected body region; a first pair of measurement current supplying electrodes so placed on the contact surface that the one selected body region may be put in contact with the current electrodes; and a first pair of voltage measuring electrodes so placed on the contact surface between the pair of current electrodes that the one selected body region may be put in contact with the voltage electrodes.

Bioelectrical impedance measuring apparatus

A body water amount condition judging apparatus is provided wherein at least two values selected from intra-cellular water resistance, extra-cellular water resistance, a combined resistance of the intracellular and extra-cellular water resistance, and the ratio of intra-cellular and extra-cellular water are used as the judging parameters, which values are obtained based on the bioelectric impedance measured in multi-frequency bioelectric impedance measurement. Using these parameters, it is possible to judge the body water amount condition considering not only total body water amount condition, but each constituent component of body water as well.

Body water amount condition judging apparatus by multi-frequency bioelectric impedance measurement

A dehydration condition judging apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a bioelectric impedance measuring device; a dehydration condition judging unit; an judgement result displaying unit; an inform time determining unit; and an informing device. The bioelectric impedance measuring device supplies an alternating current to a body of a subject and measures a bioelectric impedance value. The dehydration condition judging unit judges a dehydration condition of the subject based on the measured bioelectric impedance value. The judgment result displaying unit displays the judged dehydration condition. The inform time determining unit determines an inform time. The informing device informs the subject at the determined inform time that it is time to measure the total amount of body water.
