Abstract

Objective: We examined the effectiveness of utilization of the web health service “QUPiO for SEIREI” that we introduced in August 2013 whose objective was improving self-care ability.<br>Methods: Among 18,248 health check-up examinees who had a health check-up continuously over three years, 1196 (6.6%) were registered in the system in 2013 and used the record function, and 17,049 subjects (93.4%) were not registered. Body weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood data (triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, AST, ALT, γ-GTP) and lifestyle-related interview data were compared between the groups<br>Results: The age of those registered for the web service ranged widely, from 21 years old to 83 years, and more than half recorded their weight and step counts. In comparison, the age of non-registered group was younger and their weight was greater. In the subgroup with the highest usage, compared to those with low usage of less than once a month, body weight and BMI were significantly lower (p<0.01). In the group that used the web 0-1 times pre month or more, AST and ALT were significantly lower than in the non-registered group (p<0.01). Two years after registration, while walking or equivalent physical activity increased based on information from the lifestyle interview for all groups, the rate of increase was higher for the group that used the record service at least once a week. <br>Conclusion: The active use of the web service significantly improved the results of some check-up results suggesting that it would be an effective support tool. It also raised self-care ability.
