A portable-type health management terminal 100 provided with a communication function and a management device 200 installed in a health management center are connected via a communication network N, wherein the health management terminal 100 is provided with a sensing unit that can sense medical information or an input device into which information about a state of health can be input, wherein the state of health is identified based on the information obtained from the sensing unit or the input device, and wherein these pieces of information are stored in a storage device, and are transmitted to the management device 200 through a communication module. The management device 200 stores the information that is received in a storage device 210, and manages the change in an individual's state of health based on the information that is stored. The sensing unit is provided with a pulse wave detection unit, constructed of a light emitting and receiving device or a pressure sensitive element, for sensing pulse waves, and an impedance detection unit constructed of a current application electrode and a voltage detection electrode.
