FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a healthcare service for diagnosing and treating disorders using biofeedback according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, the communication unit 210 receives an EMG signal from the healthcare earphone 100 (S200).

The control unit 230 determines whether the user of the healthcare earphone 100 is in an irregular state or a tooth-damaging state based on the EMG signal received by the communication unit 210 at step S210. The muscle movement, and the stiffness state based on the confirmation result, and based on the result of the determination, the user determines whether the user is in an irregular state or in a state of a tooth contaminant Or not.

If the state of the user is in an irregular state or a cold state, the controller 230 transmits a feedback signal to the healthcare earphone 100 (S220).

The control unit 230 controls the storage unit 240 to store at least one of the EMG signal, the EMG signal reception time, and the determined user state (S230). The control unit 230 calculates the occurrence time, the duration time, and the intensity of the irregularity state or the tooth irritation state based on the generation time or the reception time of the EMG signal, and stores the calculation result in the storage unit 240. The control unit 230 calculates the number of occurrences and the occurrence period of the irritable state or the tooth evacuative state on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis based on the calculation result stored in the storage unit 240, ). ≪ / RTI >

In operation S240, the controller 230 diagnoses the user's toothbrush or tooth gauge based on the number of occurrences, the occurrence frequency, and the intensity of the calculated irregularity state or tooth damaging state.

The present invention can also be embodied as computer-readable codes on a computer-readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like, and may be implemented in the form of a carrier wave (for example, transmission via the Internet) . The computer-readable recording medium may also be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation in the embodiment in which said invention is directed. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
