HEALTH CONDITION MEASURING INSTRUMENT AND HEALTH CONDITION MEASURING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a health condition measuring instrument and its method for accurately measuring gas in excretion gas, by using an inexpensive solid electrolyte sensor to calculate the intestinal state, based on the gas.;SOLUTION: This health condition measuring instrument is equipped with a gas sensor for measuring the gas concentration of the gas concurrently generated at the time of defecation, and a control part for calculating the intestinal condition from the gas concentration obtained from the gas sensor. The gas sensor is the solid electrolyte sensor and is equipped with an operation part for operating a gas concentration corresponding to a changing speed of an output obtained from the electrolyte sensor. Furthermore, according to this health condition measuring method, gas concentration is measured of the gas concurrently generated at the time of defecation, the changing speed is calculated of the output obtained by measurement, the gas concentration is operated corresponding to the calculated changing speed, and an intestinal condition is estimated from the gas concentration obtained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
