MONITORING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND MONITORING ASSISTANCE METHOD

Vital data including data regarding a pulse is continuously obtained from a wearable terminal worn by a person to be monitored and stored in a database as target quantitative information associated with disease information and physical condition information regarding the person; an analysis with time-series patterns based on the vital data as an explanatory variable and the disease information and/or the physical condition information at and after times when the time-series patterns were obtained as a response variable is performed using the target quantitative information accumulated in the database; a time-series pattern based on new vital data is compared with the time-series pattern found in the analysis to be correlated with the disease information and/or the physical condition information; and a physical event including disease onset and a physical condition change of a person who has shown the new vital data is estimated or predicted.
