Abstract: An information processing apparatus 100 includes: a learning information acquiring unit 148 that acquires learning information configured using training data having activity information regarding an activity state of a user and a score regarding a health state of the user; a first activity information acquiring unit 144 that acquires first activity information; a score acquiring unit 149 that acquires a score; a second activity information acquiring unit 153 that acquires second activity information in which a score acquired by applying the learning information thereto is different from the score acquired by the score acquiring unit 149; and a recommendation information acquiring unit 157 that acquires recommendation information according to a result of a comparison between the first activity information and the second activity information. Accordingly, it is possible to output information regarding user's health.

Abstract: The present invention solves a conventional problem that it is not possible to predict menstruation-related information related to menstruation using abdominal sounds. A menstruation-related information output apparatus includes: a learning information storage unit in which learning information configured using two or more pieces of training data having sound information acquired from abdominal sounds of a user and menstruation-related information related to menstruation is stored; a sound information acquiring unit that acquires sound information from abdominal sounds of the user; a predicting unit that applies the learning information to the sound information acquired by the sound information acquiring unit, thereby acquiring menstruation-related information; and an output unit that outputs the menstruation-related information acquired by the predicting unit. Accordingly, it is possible to predict menstruation-related information using abdominal sounds from the abdomen.

Abstract: Conventionally, it is not possible to acquire appropriate information regarding a blood sugar level or alert a user. With a health support device A that includes a blood sugar level acquisition unit C31 that acquires a blood sugar level of a user; a judgment unit C33 that judges whether or not blood the sugar level satisfies a predetermined output condition; and an output unit C4 that outputs blood sugar level information regarding the blood sugar level when the judgment result indicates that the output condition is satisfied, it is possible to acquire appropriate information regarding the blood sugar level and alert the user.

Abstract: The present invention solves a problem that it is difficult for conventional information processing apparatuses to obtain objective information on the gut condition. An information processing apparatus 100 includes: a sound information acquiring unit 141 that acquires sound information regarding abdominal sounds, which are sounds emanating from the abdomen, of a user; a gut score acquiring unit 149 that acquires a gut score related to a gut condition of the user, using input information containing the sound information acquired by the sound information acquiring unit 141 and learning information prepared in advance; and a gut score output unit 161 that outputs the gut score acquired by the gut score acquiring unit 149. Accordingly, it is possible to obtain objective information on the gut condition.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a question creating section 21 configured to create a question for a drinking user to answer; an output section 11 configured to present the user with the question; an input section 11 configured to receive an operation by the user of inputting an answer to the question; and a computation section 22 configured to determine an intoxication degree of the user's on the basis of the answer.

Abstract: The object is to provide beverages that allow for sustained intake and which have an effect of improving the vascular endothelial function as by promoting the secretion of NO from vascular endothelial cells so as to potentiate the NO action. The object is attained by providing proanthocyanidins containing tea beverages that contain procyanidin B1 (PB1) and procyanidin B3 (PB3) in a total amount not smaller than a certain concentration and which are free from any peculiar flavor to become easier to drink; they allow for sustained intake and have an effect of improving the vascular endothelial function.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a food or drink having an improved sharpness in an aftertaste without reduction in its peak sweetness. According to the present invention, a food or drink containing a sweetener in which sweetness persisting as an unpalatable aftertaste is suppressed, and which retains a nearly intact degree of sweetness of the sweetener at its peak can be obtained by adding a polymerized polyphenol, particularly, a polymerized catechin, which is a polymerized polyphenol derived from tea, to the food or drink.
