Embodiments 1 to 3 of the present invention will be described below. [Embodiment 1] <Overall structure of the advice information provision system> The advice information provision system 1 according to this embodiment, shown in Figure 1, includes, for example, a mirror device 2, a user terminal 3, and a server 6 that can communicate with an external organization terminal 4 via a network 5. Examples of the network 5 include the Internet, as well as other known or equivalent communication networks such as wired or wireless LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), VPN (Virtual Private Network), etc. The following describes the various components of the advice information provision system 1 according to this embodiment. <About the mirror device> First, the mirror device 2 according to this embodiment will be described. The mirror device 2 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is a hand-held mirror-type device comprising a mirror body 7 and a grip portion 8 that is continuous with the mirror body 7 and is held by the user. The mirror body 7 comprises an imaging unit 9 that generates imaging information and a mirror portion 10 whose front surface reflects light. The grip portion 8 comprises an operating unit 11 that operates the imaging unit 9 and a biometric information acquisition unit 12 that acquires the user's biometric information (or vital signs). The biometric information acquisition unit 12 is a functional unit that senses the user's biometric information, such as pulse rate, blood oxygen level, skin temperature, and respiratory rate. It consists of various sensors, such as an optical heart rate sensor, red and infrared sensors for oxygen level monitoring, an AI-equipped 3D acceleration sensor, and a skin temperature sensor. The biometric information acquisition unit 12 in this embodiment can be a sensor unit 12a, 12b consisting of contact-type (touch-type) sensors provided on the surface of the grip portion 8 of the mirror device 2, as shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b).
