It has been pointed out that the above-mentioned health care support system can be used not only for prevention of disease but also for promotion of pregnancy and contraception. Of these, the issue of contraception has important implications in connection with the increasing number of underage sexual intercourse in recent years. In other words, unmarried minors lacking correct sexual knowledge often inadvertently become pregnant, resulting in tragedy, such as unavoidable abortion and the inability to identify who their father is even after giving birth. Therefore, it is very meaningful for such a minor to use the health management support system, but the above-described conventional health management support system requires a large-scale device and is out of a range where the minor can purchase the health management support system. It was.

[0004] Even if the above-mentioned system is provided in a home, it is necessary to regularly measure the basal body temperature every day and input it to an information processing apparatus in order to effectively utilize the system. It would be impractical for anyone who stays at home all day, or who would leave home early in the morning and fly outside in minutes and return home late at night, being detained at home for measurement.

On the other hand, a computer, an input operation unit and a display unit are added to an electronic basal thermometer without using the health management support system presupposed by the present invention, and the measured basal body temperature and physiological information inputted by the user are added. There is a device that analyzes vaginal discharge, bleeding information, and sexual intercourse information, and displays the fertile time, the presence or absence of pregnancy, and the like. This device is of a portable size and inexpensive, so that minors can easily reach it. However, many people gave the impression that this kind of device was intended for contraception, and many thought that it was embarrassing not only to use it in public but also to carry it. or,
The same was true for adult married persons who used such devices to promote pregnancy. In addition, this stand-alone device requires only a computer to perform the analysis according to a predetermined procedure, and requires further visits to a physician for further findings and advice, and is often used by minors. There was a risk of neglecting leverage. On the other hand, this type of device must always be carried and must be used for accurate temperature measurement and input on the spot, and if neglected, the function of the angle may not be exhibited. Giving such a shame was a huge minus.

[0006]
