Abstract

The portable apparatus for acquiring and processing information relative to the dietetics and/or health of a person comprises, in combination, a series (2) of alpha-numeric keys for inputting information relative to the dietetics and/or the health of the user; at least one ROM in which are stored data and instructions in relation with this information; a display (5) for displaying the information introduced and the indications relating to them coming from the ROM; and a device for effectively inputting (3e) and refusing inputting (3d) of this information. The device also comprises a clock for dating each input of information; at least one RAM adapted to store the inputted information as well as the date thereof; a computing adapted to determine, from the inputted information and from data stored in the ROM, instructions intended for the user of the apparatus and relative to the dietetics and/or health of the user; main electric power supply for the apparatus; and a communication device (11) for transferring information stored in the RAM to an external data processing unit and, in return, the introduction into this RAM of instructions coming from this unit.
