no. 4 Embodiment approach

[0181] Figure 13 It is a figure which shows an example of the exterior structure of the moisture meter 100 of this embodiment. The moisture meter 100 in the body brings the sensor unit into contact with the skin of the armpit which is the body surface of the subject, and detects the amount of moisture in the subject by detecting a physical quantity corresponding to an electrical signal supplied from the sensor unit. In the body moisture meter 100 of this embodiment, by measuring the subject's electrostatic capacitance as the physical quantity (data related to moisture in the living body), the degree of moistness of the armpit skin is detected, and the amount of moisture in the body is calculated. In addition, the physical quantity detected for calculating the amount of water in the body is not limited to capacitance, and may be, for example, impedance measured by supplying a constant voltage or constant current to the subject.

[0182] like Figure 13 As shown, the body moi...

no. 5 Embodiment approach

[0224] In the above-mentioned fourth embodiment, the shape in which the insertion portion 120 is curved downward from the boundary position 206 (that is, the shape in which the upper surface 124 of the insertion portion 120 is located below the upper surface 114 of the main body portion 110 ) was described. The invention is not limited thereto. For example, it may be configured such that a part of the upper surface 124 of the insertion portion 120 is located above the upper surface 114 of the main body portion 110 .

[0225] Figure 20 It is a figure which shows the appearance structure of the moisture meter 800 in the body of 5th Embodiment of this invention. Even when the insertion part 120 is configured as Figure 20 Even in the case of the shape shown, the same effect as that of the above-mentioned fourth embodiment can be obtained.

no. 6 Embodiment approach

[0227] In the above-mentioned fourth embodiment, there is no particular mention about the position of the center of gravity of the body moisture meter 100 , but the position of the center of gravity of the body moisture meter 100 does not necessarily have to be the central position of the main body 110 .

[0228] As described above, since the measurer holds the moisture meter 100 in the body with the sensor part 121 facing upward during the measurement, by arranging the power supply part 411 and the control part 401 on the rear end surface 113 side of the main body part 110, for example, the configuration inside the case The center of gravity is on the side of the rear end surface 113 of the main body 110, and it is easy for the measurer to obtain a balance during the measurement.

[0229] In addition, since the body moisture meter 100 is held with the upper surface 114 facing downward during measurement, it is easy for the measurer to place the center of gravity on the upper s...

Abstract

The objective of the invention is to provide a moisture meter which enables early recognition of a risk indicator for heat stroke and is effective as a means for assisting the subject's achievement of adequate moisture control. A moisture meter, comprising: a moisture measuring part (30) which is to be held in the armpit (R) of a subject (M) and brought into contact with the skin surface (V) of the armpit (R) to measure the moisture content of the subject (M); a sensor (27) for measuring the temperature and humidity in the environment of the subject (M); and a processing part (44) for receiving the moisture content data of the subject from the moisture measuring part (30), setting a wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) on the basis of the relationship between the temperature and humidity measured by the sensor (27), and then acquiring a risk indicator for heat stroke by referring to a relation table (200) of moisture content of the subject (M) and WBGT.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a moisture meter and a body moisture meter for measuring moisture in a living body by clipping it under the armpit of a subject. Background technique [0002] It is important to measure the water content of the subject's living body. The dehydration symptom of the living body is a condition in which the water in the living body decreases. It is a symptom that often appears in daily life, especially when a large amount of water is excreted from the body to the outside due to sweating and body temperature rise. Especially for the elderly, it can be said that the elderly are more likely to cause dehydration symptoms than the general healthy people because the water retention capacity of most living organisms is inherently low. [0003] In general, as people become older, the muscles that store water decrease, the urine output increases due to the decrease in kidney function, it becomes difficult to perceive thirst due to ...
