    Abstract: In a physical strength evaluation system, a reference storage stores a walking heart rate reference in which a correspondence relationship of a standard value of a relative heart rate with respect to a walking speed is defined for every gender and every age, a speed acquisition unit acquires a measured value of a walking speed of a subject, a heart rate acquisition unit acquires a measured value of the relative heart rate of the subject. A standard value derivation unit derives the standard value of the relative heart rate corresponding to the measured value of the walking speed that has been acquired, based on the walking heart rate reference. A level determination unit determines an evaluation value of a physical strength level of the subject, based on a difference between the measured value of the relative heart rate and the standard value of the relative heart rate.

    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and at least one processor. In the memory, a program is stored. The processor is configured to execute the program stored in the memory, and generate prescription data for skincare of a skin based on history data of an index value representing change in blood flow before and after treatment. The index value is calculated based on a first skin image and a second skin image. The first skin image is obtained by imaging the skin before a blood flow enhancement treatment, and the second skin image is obtained by imaging the skin after the blood flow enhancement treatment.

  • Publication number: 20230085210
    Abstract: A temperature estimation apparatus includes: a first temperature sensor that measures first temperature of first part of a target that has a heat source; a second temperature sensor that measures second temperature of second part that is farther from the heat source than the first part; and a processor. The processor obtains temperature-for-estimation data regarding the first and second temperatures that are measured in a state where a predetermined condition is satisfied, the predetermined condition corresponding to a certain state of change in the temperature of the heat source. Based on the obtained temperature-for-estimation data, the processor obtains a single thermal resistance parameter in a thermal model. Based on the obtained thermal resistance parameter and the measured first and second temperatures, the processor estimates the temperature of the heat source as a deep-body temperature of the target.
