Hobonichi no Kenkō Techō (The Hobonichi Health Handbook) is a free-to-download health advisor and management journal application on the Nintendo DSi. Submitting information such as your diet, weight, and amount you exercise allows you to keep track of your health. This application was developed by Doctor Miwako Honda, President Satoru Iwata, and Shigesato Itoi. The idea was to create a health handbook that was easy to use, even for folks who have never owned or were familiar with a gaming console before. Originally developed exclusively for the Nintendo DSi, this software can be transferred to the Nintendo 3DS system or downloaded on the Japanese Nintendo e-Shop.

The software will keep all of this information stored daily, and provide health-related information, tips, advice, and or suggestions to overall better your health. You can input your personal information using the Nintendo DSi’s stylus to write text directly into the fields it provides. To steadily track this information, you should submit info every day to ensure it’s all up to date. Hobonichi no Kenkō Techō was released on April 21, 2010.
