A bio-check unit and health index were developed to evaluate personal health grade. The bio-check unit conducts health-related surveys and noninvasive measurements of physiological signals. Four health indices were defined such as cardiovascular index, stress index, obesity index, and management index. Programs were developed to evaluate scores of the four health indices from measured physiological signals and answers of survey questions. In order to obtain distributions of the health index scores with age, a clinical study was performed for 362 persons who visited general hospital for annual health inspection. The health index scores showed significant correlations with age. Based on the regression equation with age, five regions were divided in health index scores to classify personal health grade. The health index scores were found to identify specific diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
