Abstract

An aspect of the present disclosure includes: an acquisition unit acquiring health data being data regarding health of a plurality of persons in a first period and a second period a predetermined duration before the first period; a calculation unit calculating distribution feature information indicating a feature related to a distribution of health data of a first age group in the first period; a generation unit generating a prediction-target distribution by integrating a distribution of health data of a prediction-target age group corresponding to the age of the target person when the predetermined period of time or more has elapsed and the distribution feature information; and a prediction unit predicting the health data in the prediction-target distribution in the distribution of the health data of the first age group in the first period. The present disclosure supports decision making regarding the health of the target person.
