INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Abstract:

The information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a computation unit. The computation unit computes an evaluation value related to heart disease on the basis of a detection result of a blood flow rate. Accordingly, the heart disease status can be easily ascertained. For example, the BNP level and the NT-pro BNP level can be estimated non-invasively and bloodlessly without requiring a blood test at a medical institution. Moreover, remote monitoring at home and the like becomes possible and telemedicine systems of heart disease can be built, for example, because the measurement at a medical institution is unnecessary.
