Outline of Final Research Achievements

The object of this study is to develop a system which enables a public health nurse or dietitian working for local government to make effective use of medical data of survivors of the Great East Japan Earthquake. Each local government has data on special medical checkups for survivors of the Great East Japan Earthquake, specified health examinations, specified health guidance, and home visit information (e.g., blood pressure). By connecting these data longitudinally, it is possible to select survivors of high priority in terms of mental health, sleep disorders, blood pressure, blood sugar, and so on.
