A scalable tele-care monitoring device has a plurality of physiological sensors adapted to collect patient physiological data. The device also has an interface adapted to connect with a personal computer, and an expansion module adapted to communicate patient physiological data to the personal computer via the interface. In further aspects, the device has an output adapted to communicate the patient physiological data over a communications network when the device is not interfaced with the personal computer.

Tele-care monitoring device

A biodata interfacing device includes a service console, an attachment storage compartment defined in the service console for accommodating a variety of sensors used for collecting biodata, a lid mounted on the service console for opening and closing a top opening of the attachment storage compartment, and a display unit formed on an upper surface of the lid.

Biodata interfacing system

A sanitary cleaning apparatus is disclosed, which comprises a cleaning water discharge device, a functional device including another cleaning water discharge device or a private parts dryer, a member for turning on and off the cleaning water discharge device, and a human body (presence or absence) detector. Only while the human body detector produces a human body detection signal, the on-off member for the cleaning water discharge device or the functional device is turned on, thereby selectively actuating a corresponding device. One of the devices thus turned on as selected above is de-energized by (a) the turning off of the on-off member of the selected device, (b) the turning on of the on-off member of the other device not selected, or (c) extinction of the human body detection signal of the human body detector.

Sanitary cleaning apparatus

A sanitary cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning water discharger and an additional apparatus (such as a drier) having a sanitary function, and a set of switches operatively connected to the cleaning water discharger and the additional apparatus, respectively. When a switch is manually operated, a first setting control sets the energization amount of the cleaning water discharger and/or the additional apparatus to a first set value. When a second setting control is manually operated, the energization amount is changed to a second set value set by the second setting control. When a human body detector is turned off, the energization amount is returned from the second value to the first value.
