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