Apparatus and method for processing information concerning biological condition, system, program and recording medium for managing information concerning biological condition

Abstract

A system provided in accordance with the present invention comprises a sever unit ( 100 ), which serves as an apparatus for processing information concerning a biological condition information, and a client unit ( 200 ), which serves as an information terminal of a provider of the information on the biological condition communicably connected to the server unit ( 100 ) via a network ( 300 ). The server unit ( 100 ) determines a composite index reflecting a plurality of metabolites indicative of the biological condition based on the information on the biological condition acquired from the client unit ( 200 ).
