Abstract
Abstract A diagnosis system includes a terminal T and a server S which are connected to each other through a network B. A user images a given position of user's body by an imaging device C connected to the terminal T and transmits image data obtained. by that imaging to the server S through the network. The server S compares the received image data with reference data of the server S and automatically diagnoses the user's health condition, to thereby produce diagnosis data. The diagnosis data is equivalent to a diagnosis result whom a doctor says a patient, to thereby realize an automatic diagnosis. <IMAGE>
