Hormonal balance estimating apparatus and hormone balance estimating method

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hormone balance estimation device and method capable of appropriately acquiring a hormone balance state.SOLUTION: A sensor device 1 transfers body surface temperature detection data D1 or the like detected during sleep to an external processing device 13. The processing device 13 identifies body temperature data D3 as a representative temperature for each measurement date on the basis of the body surface temperature data D1 or the like. The processing device 13 calculates a woman ability index WP according to the hormone balance state on the basis of the number NL of days of low temperature phase, the number NH of days of high temperature phase, and an average temperature difference &Dgr;T between the low temperature phase and the high temperature phase. The processing device 13 determines whether or not menstrual cycles MC1-MC3 for last 3 cycles is normal on the basis of the woman ability index WP, and estimates a next ovulation phase using the body temperature data D3 for the menstrual cycles MC1-MC3 determined to be normal.
