  • Publication number: 20060141431
    Abstract: A health game apparatus produces, as a numerical value, a quantized biological index associated with a biological function or state from an electrical signal measured by a sensor detecting a biological signal, and considers the produced biological index to progress a game. The health game apparatus can conveniently perform a data input as data is directly inputted from the sensor and allow health management to be interestingly and continuously achieved through a game element coupled to the health management. The health game apparatus allows a host computer to manage the produced biological index and to manage game progress according to data inputted from a plurality of health game apparatuses. Thus, the health game apparatus enables persons having the same health problem to naturally form a community and enables health management to be interestingly performed in addition to an interest in the game.
