Description:
BACKGROUND 
     Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a cloud analysis system, and more particularly to a health risk cloud analysis system capable of integrating gene information and acquired lifestyle, and providing precise overall personal health risk and improvement advice, so that users can fully understand their health risks. 
     Related Prior Art 
     Gene detection technology has been developed for decades, with the rise of the concept of precise medicine, people start to pay more and more attention to preventive medicine. Genetic detection can help us to understand our natural constitutions and heath risks, which hopefully can achieve the goals of improving health and preventing disease. However, out health is not only determined by gene, but also greatly affected by acquired lifestyle. It will be difficult to precisely and reliably to reflect to the overall heath risk if the lifestyle is not taken into account when assessing health risk. The combination of inborn gene information and acquired lifestyle would ensure a more complete and comprehensive health assessment, which is helpful to improve the quality of life and reduce the waste of medical resources. With the big data analysis becoming more and more mature in recent years, real-time data processing and calculation in cloud starts to be applied in various fields. Currently, there is such a cloud analysis system which is capable of integrating gene information and acquired lifestyle, such system is essential for the future preventive medicine and personal medicine. 
     For example, Taiwan Patent No. I488050 discloses an “analysis module, cloud analysis system and method”, the analysis module includes an analysis unit and a database management system, the cloud analysis system includes a server and a client. The client uploads a data produced by a health measuring instrument to the server, through cloud computing and integration, the original data is turned into non-shock trend data which represents the personal overall physiological parameters, so that users can acquire personal health analysis through the cloud network. 
     Another Taiwan Patent No. I501185 discloses a “cloud analysis system and a grouping method based on heath information”. The cloud analysis system can receive data from user&#39;s equipments, the physiological sensing device at client end is provided with a communication device, which is capable of inputting personal health information and transmitting it to the group server where files for personal health information will be established. The files can be grouped based on health distances. 
     Using instruments to measure the user&#39;s health only can acquire the user&#39;s current physiological heath data in the current environment, which is only capable of seeking treatment or remedy for the defects that have been produced, in the aspect of pursuing tracking and improvement. The concept of grouping based on heath distance is quiet good, however, very few people are willing to talk about their health status in public or share with others, and there is a risk of personal privacy leakage. Besides, the current cloud health analysis systems are mainly based on the current physiological status, without inborn gene information integration analysis, and are therefore unable to provide appropriate and effective heath improvement advices and products, since there are various personal inborn constitutions. 
     The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
