The alarm signal may include information about the position of the electrode where the user's skin is not in close contact. The controller 300 may control the alarm signal to be output through the output unit. The alarm signal may be output as light or sound. Based on the alarm signal, the user may adjust the posture so that the skin is in close contact with the electrode.

The controller 300 may include some electrodes included in the first bio-signal measurer 510, the second bio-signal measurer 610, the third bio-signal measurer 3210, or the fourth bio-signal measurer 3310. When it is determined that the electrode is not in close contact with the user's skin, it may be controlled to measure the biosignal only with the electrode in close contact with the user's skin. More specifically, some electrodes included in the first bio-signal measurer 510, the second bio-signal measurer 610, the third bio-signal measurer 3210, or the fourth bio-signal measurer 3310 are used by the user. When it is determined that it is not in close contact with the skin, the control unit 300 may output an alarm signal, and the first biosignal measurement unit 510, the second biosignal measurement unit 610, and the third biosignal measurement unit ( 3210) or until some of the electrodes included in the fourth bio-signal measurer 3310 come into close contact with the user's skin, it may wait for a predetermined time. Even after a predetermined time, some electrodes included in the first bio-signal measurement unit 510, the second bio-signal measurement unit 610, the third bio-signal measurement unit 3210, or the fourth bio-signal measurement unit 3310 When it is determined that the electrode is not in close contact with the user's skin, the controller 300 may control the biosignal to be measured only with the electrode in close contact with the user's skin. Even if the user does not see or hear the alarm signal, the massage device 100 can accurately measure the bio-signal and obtain information about the user's physical condition. The controller 300 may store information about the user's physical condition in a memory. In addition, the controller 300 may store information on the user's body state together with information on the position of the electrode used to obtain the information on the user's body state in a memory.
