Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a home health measuring device capable of detecting various biological information such as electrocardiogram, heart sound, pulse wave, blood pressure, body temperature and the like.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a home health measuring device, an electronic thermometer,
Electronic blood pressure monitors and the like are generally well known. However, most of them only displayed measurement data at that time. In addition, some of the electronic sphygmomanometers can store the measurement data on a sheet or in a memory.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional measuring device, dedicated measuring devices for body temperature, blood pressure, etc. must be purchased separately, and the format of the measured data is also different, which is economical. ,
There were many problems in terms of data organization. further,
In order to measure the health level in the true sense, it is indispensable to measure not only body temperature and blood pressure, but also electrocardiogram, heart sound, and pulse wave. Moreover, these measuring instruments are often expensive even individually.
It was inconvenient as a home health measuring device.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a plurality of detectors for detecting various biological information such as electrocardiogram, heart sound, pulse wave, blood pressure, body temperature, and these detectors. A signal processor detachably connected to perform signal processing of output signals of the various detectors; and a display unit detachably connected to the signal processor to display data from the signal processor, A plurality of storage devices are provided for storing the signal processing procedure of the signal processor and corresponding to the various detectors and detachably connectable to a part of the circuit of the signal processor.

Operation With this configuration, a single signal processor is connected to the display means, and various detectors and memories are simply connected to measure a large amount of biological information, and data analysis and comprehensive evaluation can be performed inexpensively and easily. You will be able to do it.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 1 is a detector for detecting various biological information, 1a is an electrocardiogram, 1b is a heart sound, 1c is a pulse wave, 1d is blood pressure, and 1e is a body temperature. A signal processor 2 has a built-in circuit of an amplifier 2a, a gain adjuster 2b, and an A / D converter 2c, and can be detachably connected to each detector 1 by a pin-type connector 3. it can. 4 is a memory device corresponding to each detector (1a to 1e),
Each has a built-in ROM for storing signal processing procedures and a RAM for storing signal data, and can be detachably connected to a part of the circuit of the signal processor 2 by a flat plate type connector 5. The storage device 4 preferably has a RAM, but may be a ROM only. Reference numeral 6 is a personal computer as a display means, and 6a is a cartridge used for connection with an external device. The signal processor 2 is connected to the personal computer 6 via the cartridge 6a.

The operation in the above configuration will be described. First, a detector to be measured (for example, an electrocardiogram 1a) is connected to the signal processor 2 with a pin-type connector 3, and a memory device 4 corresponding to the electrocardiographic detector 1a is connected to the signal processor. It is inserted into the flat plate type connector 5 provided in 2. When the signal processor 2 is inserted into the cartridge 6a of the personal computer 6 and the power is turned on, the signal processing procedure stored in the ROM (not shown) built in the storage device 4 is transferred to the personal computer 6 via the cartridge 6a. To the personal computer 6 based on this procedure.
Controls the signal processor 2 to measure the electrocardiogram. Further, the measured electrocardiographic data is transferred again from the personal computer 6 to the storage device 4 via the cartridge 6a and is stored in the RAM (not shown) this time.

By storing the signal processing procedure in the ROM of the storage device 4 in this manner, measurement and signal data storage can be easily performed via the personal computer 6, and several kinds of signal processing procedures (for example, measurement, Display of stored data, statistical processing of stored data, etc.) If stored in the ROM of the storage device 4 and can be selected by the keyboard 6b of the personal computer 6, various processes can be performed by simple operations. You can Needless to say, the same operation can be performed on other detectors (heart sound, pulse wave, blood pressure, body temperature, etc.).

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to measure various kinds of biological information by replacing various detectors and memories with a single signal processor, which is extremely easy to use. Can be obtained. Furthermore, in terms of price, the individual measuring instruments for electrocardiogram, heart sound, etc., which have been considered expensive in the past, are expensive in the part that amplifies and adjusts the minute voltage obtained by the detector and performs A / D conversion. On the other hand, in the present invention, since this expensive part is commonly used as a single signal processor, it does not become so expensive even if many kinds of measurements are performed, and the detector and storage device are not expensive. By simply adding new types, new measuring functions can be added one after another at low cost, which is extremely practical and has a great effect as a general household health measuring device.
