Therefore, the medical stimulation apparatus 100 may measure the body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse of a user who has contacted the body temperature measurement unit 192, the blood pressure measurement unit 193, and the pulse measurement unit 194.

However, the examples of the body temperature measurement unit 192, the blood pressure measurement unit 193, and the pulse measurement unit 194 described above are only examples, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the body temperature measurement unit 192, the blood pressure measurement unit 193, and the pulse measurement unit 194 may be located in an area of the body structure 110 in contact with a user's upper arm.

Specifically, the controller 150 may recognize a user's state based on at least one of the measured body temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure, and change a magnetic field based on the recognized user's state.

In one example, the memory 170 stores information about a user's state corresponding to each of blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature values (eg, awakening state, thin sleep state, deep sleep state, and REM sleep state). It can be.

In addition, the controller 150 may recognize blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature values, and determine a user's state based on the recognized blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature values. The controller 150 may use the information stored in the memory 170 when determining the user's state based on the recognized measured body temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure.

Also, the control unit 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field based on the determined state of the user.

For example, when it is determined that the user's state is awakening, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a first magnetic field value (for example, the highest value).

For another example, when it is determined that the user's state is a thin sleeping state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a second magnetic field value (for example, a second highest value).

For another example, when it is determined that the user's state is a deep sleep state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a third magnetic field value (for example, the lowest value).

As another example, when it is determined that the user's state is REM sleep, the controller 150 may change the strength of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a fourth magnetic field value (for example, a third highest value).

However, the above-described examples are only examples, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In another example, the controller 150 recognizes the blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature values, respectively, and when at least one of the recognized blood pressure, pulse, and body temperature values is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, determines that the user's condition is in a dangerous state and determines the magnetic field. It can be changed to not generate.

Can be.

For another example, when the recognized body temperature value is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (for example, 38 ° C), the controller 150 determines that the user's condition is in a dangerous state, and changes it so as not to generate a magnetic field to treat medical stimulation. Can be stopped.

For another example, when the recognized pulse value is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (for example, 100), the controller 150 determines that the user's state is in a dangerous state, and changes it so as not to generate a magnetic field to perform medical stimulation treatment. Can be stopped.

However, the above-described examples are only examples, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Through this, the medical stimulation apparatus 100 may automatically provide a magnetic field suitable for a user's condition, thereby increasing the medical stimulation treatment effect and providing convenience to the user.

According to some embodiments, the medical stimulation apparatus 100 may further include an EEG measuring unit 195 for measuring the EEG of the user. Referring to FIG. 6, the EEG measuring unit 195 may be connected to the head unit 140 through a cable, manufactured in the form of a head gear, and mounted on the user's head. However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the EEG measuring unit 195 may be connected to the body structure 110 through a cable, or may be provided in a form other than a head gear.

In addition, the control unit 150 of the medical stimulation apparatus 100 may change the magnetic field based on the EEG measured by the EEG measuring unit 195.

Specifically, the controller 150 may recognize the user's state based on at least one of the measured frequency, amplitude, and waveform of the brainwave and change the magnetic field based on the recognized user's state.

In one example, the memory 170 is a user's state (eg, delta state, theta state, alpha state, SM state, beta state, high beta state, and gamma state) corresponding to the measured EEG frequency, amplitude, and waveform. Etc.).

In addition, the controller 150 may recognize the frequency, amplitude, and waveform of the EEG and determine a user's state based on the recognized frequency, amplitude, and waveform of the EEG. The controller 150 may use information stored in the memory 170 when determining a user's state based on the recognized frequency, amplitude, and waveform of the brainwave.

Also, the control unit 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field based on the determined state of the user.

For example, when it is determined that the user's state is a delta state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a first magnetic field value (for example, the highest value).

For another example, when it is determined that the user's state is theta state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a second magnetic field value (for example, a second highest value).

As another example, when it is determined that the user's state is an alpha state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field such that the magnetic field has a third magnetic field value (for example, a third highest value).

For another example, when it is determined that the user's state is the SM state, the controller 150 may change the strength of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a fourth magnetic field value (for example, the fourth highest value).

As another example, when it is determined that the user's state is in a beta state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a fifth magnetic field value (for example, the fifth highest value).

For another example, when it is determined that the user's state is a high beta state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field such that the magnetic field has a sixth magnetic field value (for example, the sixth highest value).

For another example, when it is determined that the user's state is a gamma state, the controller 150 may change the intensity of the magnetic field so that the magnetic field has a seventh magnetic field value (for example, the lowest value).

However, the above-described examples are only examples, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In another example, the controller 150 recognizes the frequency, amplitude, and waveform of the EEG, and uses at least one of the recognized frequency value, the maximum value of the amplitude, the minimum value of the amplitude, and the frequency domain value of the waveform. The state can be determined to be dangerous and can be changed to not generate a magnetic field.

For example, if the recognized frequency value is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (for example, 30 Hz), and the maximum value of the recognized amplitude is less than a predetermined value (25 uV), the controller 150 sets the user's state to a dangerous state. It can be determined and changed to not generate a magnetic field to stop medical stimulation treatment.

For another example, when a specific frequency domain value (for example, 50 Hz) of a waveform is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (for example, 1.5), the controller 150 determines that the user's state is in a dangerous state and does not generate a magnetic field. Can be changed to stop medical stimulation treatment.

However, the above-described examples are only examples, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In addition, the control unit 150 of the medical stimulation apparatus 100 may change the magnetic field based on the weight detected through the weight detection unit 196.

For example, the control unit 150 may change the weight detected by the weight detector 196 to not generate a magnetic field when the weight is less than or equal to a predetermined value for a predetermined time. However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Through this, the medical stimulation apparatus 100 is controlled so as not to automatically generate a magnetic field when the user recognizes that the user is no longer receiving medical stimulation treatment (for example, the weight detected during a predetermined time is less than a predetermined value). It can provide convenience to prevent wasting power.
