Abstract

The present invention relates to a device and a method for visualizing variation in the risk of diseases in accordance with changes in environmental factors which calculate a risk of diseases by maintaining a value with respect to genetic factors and changing a value with respect to environmental factors, among factors influencing the occurrence of disease, and visualize the risk of diseases calculated on the basis of the changes in environmental factors so that a user can numerically/visually ascertain how the environmental factors (lifestyle) should be improved or retained to lower the possibility of disease and can ultimately be led to make behavioral changes in order to more actively form better habits for preventing diseases.

Claims11

Dependent claims

A device for visualizing variation in a risk of diseases in accordance with changes in environmental factors, the device comprising:

a storage unit which stores disease-causing factor information including genetic factors and environmental factors influencing occurrence of the disease, for every disease;
a risk-of-disease calculating unit which calculates a current risk of diseases of the user with respect to a predetermined disease using a current value of the user for a genetic factor and an environmental factor influencing occurrence of the predetermined disease and calculates a changed risk of diseases of the user with respect to the predetermined disease using the current value of the user for a genetic factor influencing the occurrence of the predetermined disease and using a changed value on the basis of the current value of the user for an environmental factor influencing the occurrence of the predetermined disease, on the basis of the disease-causing factor stored in the storage unit;
and
a display unit which visualizes and outputs the current risk of diseases and the changed risk of diseases of the user calculated by the risk-of-disease calculating unit.

A method for visualizing variation in a risk of diseases by a device of visualizing a variation in a risk of diseases in accordance with changes in environmental factors, the method comprising:

calculating a current risk of diseases of the user with respect to a predetermined disease using a current value of the user for a genetic factor and an environmental factor influencing occurrence of the predetermined disease, on the basis of disease-causing factor information including genetic factors and environmental factors influencing the occurrence of a disease, for every disease;
calculating a changed risk of diseases of the user with respect to the predetermined disease using the current value of the user for a genetic factor influencing the occurrence of the predetermined disease and using a changed value on the basis of the current value of the user for an environmental factor influencing the occurrence of the predetermined disease, on the basis of the disease-causing factor information;
and
visualizing and outputting the calculated current risk of diseases and changed risk of diseases of the user.
