Abstract: In order to objectively grasp a stress state of a user and to prevent postpartum depression, biological gas information is acquired via a network, where the biological gas information indicates a concentration of heptadecane of the user and is obtained by a sensor that detects heptadecane released from a skin surface of the user. From a memory storing information including an upper limit of a normal range of the concentration of heptadecane per unit period, the information indicating the upper limit of the normal range is read out. When a frequency in the unit period with which the concentration of heptadecane of the user exceeds the upper limit of the normal range is determined to have an increasing tendency based on the biological gas information obtained during a pregnancy period of the user, the information related to stress of the user is output to an information terminal of the user.

The fluid flow path comprises a first flow path, a second flow path, and a third flow path arranged continuously along a longitudinal direction of the fluid flow path. An antibody is bound on at least one peripheral surface selected from the group consisting of peripheral surfaces of the second and third flow paths. A cross-sectional area of the third flow path is constant or increased monotonically along a direction X from the second flow path toward the third flow path. A cross-sectional area of the second flow path is increased monotonically along the direction X from the one end to the other end of the second flow path. A cross-sectional area of the first flow path is larger than a cross-sectional area at the one end of the second flow path.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a communication interface that receives biological data regarding a user, a memory that stores the biological data, and a processor that determines a type of feeling experienced by the user in a certain period using the biological data. The processor estimates an event that has occurred to the user in the certain period, stores, in a database, feeling history information in which the certain period, feeling type information indicating the type of feeling, and event information indicating the estimated event are associated with one another, generates, if the feeling type information indicates a feeling of pleasure, image data using the associated event information, and outputs a notification for displaying the image data to a terminal device used by the user.
