Patent ID: 7302398

Claim:
A health management support method implemented in a computer-based data processing system for generating life expectancy data to be used in a health management system, comprising: providing a database for storing healthy life expectancy prediction data that represents transition of a percentage of normal people in each result of health screening; generating health screening report data for each person who undergoes health screening by data entry means; generating personal healthy life expectancy prediction data by selecting at least one of said healthy life expectancy prediction data from said database in combination of at least one of daily living habits and at least one of decision results in said inputted health screening report data for each said person; estimating a predicted period of healthy life expectancy of each said person by selecting one of said healthy life expectancy data from said database in accordance with said at least one of daily living habits and said at least one of decision results in said health screening data of said person who undergoes health screening and calculating based on said selected personal healthy life expectancy prediction data; outputting said estimated predicted period of healthy life expectancy of each said person, preparing medical payment prediction knowledge data as basic data for predicting medical payment from a diversity of healthy life expectancy; and calculating a predicting amount of future medical payment of the each person who undergoes health screening based on the predicted period of healthy life expectancy of the each person and the medical payment prediction knowledge data; wherein a predicting amount of future medical payment is calculated by the summation of the average medical expenses a year per age multiplied by correction coefficients for the predicted duration of disease and/or disability that is difference between an averane life expectancy and the predicted period of healthy life expectancy, the correction coefficients being set so as to decrease the average medical expenses a year per age as the recuperation period is prolonged.
