Provided is a biological sound measurement device to improve a measurement accuracy, that includes a sound measurement unit having a contact surface configured to be brought into contact with a body surface, and a gripping portion supporting the sound measurement unit and configured to be gripped by a measurer. The gripping portion is configured to be gripped in a state in which an index finger is placed in a recessed portion, the sound measurement unit includes a sound detector, a housing forming an accommodation space accommodating the sound detector and includes an opening, and a cover closing the opening from outside the accommodation space and forming a pressure-receiving region configured to receive pressure from the body surface. The contact surface is formed by a front surface of the cover, and the opening positioned on a straight line extending in a direction of a force applied from the index finger.

Biological sound measurement device

Provided are a biological sound measurement device capable of detecting contact with a body surface of a living body with a simple configuration, a control method for the biological sound measurement device, and a non-transitory recording medium storing a control program for the biological sound measurement device. The biological sound measurement device () includes: a measuring unit () that detects a biological sound of a living body in a state of contact with a body surface S of the living body; and a contact state determination unit () that determines whether or not a contact state is active in which the measuring unit () is in contact with the body surface S, based on a change in a sound pressure level of sounds detected by the measuring unit ().

Biological sound measurement device, control method for biological sound measurement device, and non-transitory recording medium storing control program for biological sound measurement device

Provided is a biological sound measurement device capable of smoothly performing tasks from measurement initiation to result confirmation, that includes a sound measurement unit including a contact surface configured to be brought into contact with the body surface of a subject, a gripping portion supporting the sound measurement unit and configured to be gripped by a measurer, and a display unit provided to the gripping portion and configured to display an analysis result of a biological sound measured by the sound measurement unit. The gripping portion is configured to be gripped by the measurer in a state in which an index finger of the measurer is placed on a back surface of the sound measurement unit, and the display unit is provided on a surface of the gripping portion on the body surface side in a state in which the contact surface is in contact with the body surface.

Provided is a biological sound measurement device capable of suppressing an occurrence of a rubbing noise and improving a measurement accuracy. The biological sound measurement device () includes a sound measurement unit () including a contact surface () configured to be brought into contact with the body surface S of a subject, and a gripping portion () supporting the sound measurement unit () and configured to be gripped by a measurer. At least a first region of a front surface of the gripping portion (), excluding a region to be covered by a hand Ha of the measurer in a state in which the gripping portion () is gripped by the measurer, is a region not including an angular portion.

An electronic thermometer includes a hollow probe provided at its longitudinal tip with a temperature measuring unit having a temperature sensor for sensing a temperature, electrodes neighboring to the temperature sensor and arranged in the hollow of the probe, and a determining unit for determining whether temperature measuring unit is in appropriate contact with a measurement target portion of a user or not, based on a change in electrostatic capacity sensed using the electrodes.

Electronic thermometer

An electronic thermometer has a probe having a temperature measuring unit at its end, a temperature sensor arranged in the temperature measuring unit of the probe, a contact sensor arranged in a position shifter from the temperature measuring unit of the probe toward a thermometer body, a determining unit for determining whether a state of contact between the temperature measuring unit and a measurement target portion of a user is good or not, based on outputs of both the temperature sensor and the contact sensor, and a notifying unit for providing a notification according to a result of the determination by the determining unit.
