Development of an automatic health screening system for Student Health Education of University

A Health Education Support System has been designed and being implemented for our students of Kagawa University in Japan. This paper describes the detail of An Automatic Health Screening System, which can play the former part role of our Health Education Support System, is described in detail in this paper. Major characteristics of our screening system are using IC card for user identification, interfacing several kinds of physical measuring devices like as height meter, weight meter, blood pressure monitor, etc. and retrieving measured data through Web-DB system. Human errors and incorrect identification can be reduced by means of automatic identification with IC card. Speedup of screening can be realized through interfacing between physical measuring devices and computers. And efficient retrieval of measured data can be performed with Web-DB system and Distributed campuses network environment in our University. With our automatic health screening system, almost students can easily participate in University-level health screening and investigate/retrieve their proper physical data for their healthcare through dedicated Web-DB system on the network environment.
