Disclosed is a maternity biodata measurement system, wherein a sum of a pre-pregnancy energy expenditure and a pregnancy extra energy amount of a subject is determined as an energy amount necessary for the subject in a pregnancy period. In particular, the pregnancy extra energy amount is determined based on pre-pregnancy body-mass index data and elapsed pregnancy-period data about the subject, so as to allow the necessary energy amount to be determined as a value appropriate for the subject. The maternity biodata measurement system of the present invention makes it possible to measure a necessary energy amount for a pregnant woman on an individual basis.

Biological data measurement system for pregnant women

A body composition management apparatus for a pregnant woman which measures body fat or body water by a bioelectrical impedance method is provided. The apparatus comprises: first input means, second input means, measurement means, first computation means, and second computation means, wherein the first input means inputs personal data of a pregnant woman such as a body height and a body weight, the second input means inputs the gestational weeks, the measurement means measures the bioelectrical impedance of the pregnant woman, the first computation means computes a body fat mass or a total body water from the personal data and the impedance, and the second computation means computes a body fat mass or total body water in a non-pregnant state from the computed body fat mass or total body water and the amount of an increase in body weight from the non-pregnant state.

Measurements by use of a conventional caliper process require skills and experiences. Further, since different pregnant women gain and keep fats in their bodies in different ways, results of measurements of their body fats vary. To overcome the inconvenience, there is provided a system for measuring a percent body fat or a total body fat by a bioelectrical impedance method, which comprises first input means, second input means and computation means, wherein personal data of a patient such as a height and a body weight is input into the first input means, a weight of a fetal part is input into the second input means, and the computation means computes a percent body fat or a total body fat by subtracting the body weight input into the second input means from the body weight input into the first input means. Further, to overcome the inconvenience, there is provided a system for measuring a percent body fat by a bioelectrical impedance method which comprises first input means, second input means and computation means, wherein personal data of a patient such as a height and a body weight is input into the first input means, a weight of a fetal part is input into the second input means, and the computation means computes a percent body fat by subtracting the body weight input into the second input means from the body weight input into the first input means.

A living body data management system graphically displays reference growth range data obtained as average growth ranges of body weights and heights of infants during a period spanning from birth to under the age of seven, based on body weight data and height data collected from a number of infants. The system displays the reference data as growth curve graphs (H, W) on a graph display means, and further displays a subject's acquired data over the growth curve graphs (H, W), thereby enabling a user to visually comprehend the growth status represented by the acquired data by contrasting the acquired data with the growth curve graphs (H, W) at a glance.

Disclosed is a postpartum supporting apparatus, comprising a storage unit and an output unit. The storage unit stores reference data that is used to compare with postpartum measurement data representing an index of body condition after childbirth for determining whether the progress of restoration of the body condition after childbirth is good or not. The output unit outputs said reference data in order to compare with the postpartum measurement data representing the index of body condition after childbirth.
