There is provided a wheeze detection apparatus including: a sound measurer configured to measure a pulmonary sound of a measurement subject; a respiratory sound volume deriver configured to derive a respiratory sound volume of the measurement subject based on the sound measured by the sound measurer; and a wheeze detector configured to extract a maximum point from an intensity distribution for each frequency of the sound and to detect wheeze based on information on the maximum point. The wheeze detector sets, in a case where the respiratory sound volume is outside a predetermined range, detection sensitivity of the wheeze to a higher value than the detection sensitivity in a case where the respiratory sound volume is within the range.

Wheeze detection apparatus, wheeze detection method, and wheeze detection program

There is provided a biological sound measuring device that has a member which defines a space to be sealed by a body surface of a living body in a state of being pressed against the body surface, and that measures a biological sound of the living body based on pressure fluctuation in the space. The device includes: a sound generator that generates a sound toward the body surface; a sound measurer that measures a reflected sound of the sound generated by the sound generator; and a controller that determines whether or not a contact state or a contact position of the member with respect to the body surface satisfies a condition necessary for measurement of the biological sound, based on the reflected sound measured by the sound measurer, and that performs notification when it is determined that the condition is not satisfied.

Biological sound measuring device, biological sound measurement support method, and biological sound measurement support program

There is provided a wheezing detection device, including: a wheezing determiner that performs processing of determining whether wheezing is included in the pulmonary sound of the subject, based on the signal of the pulmonary sound that is measured by a sound measurer after an instruction for starting wheezing detection processing is issued; and a controller that ends measurement of the signal of the pulmonary sound performed by the sound measurer and reports a result of the processing, in a case where an elapsed time period from a measurement start time point of the signal, which is firstly measured by the sound measurer after the instruction is issued, reaches a predetermined time period set in advance, or in a case where it is determined by the wheezing determiner that wheezing is included in the pulmonary sound of the subject.

Wheezing detection device and wheezing detection program

There is provided a biological sound measuring device, including: a main body including: a first sound measuring instrument, a housing that has an opening, a second sound measuring instrument, and a controller that causes a sound generator to generate a sound in a state where the opening in the housing is not closed, that determines whether or not a relationship between a measurement sensitivity of the first sound measuring instrument and a measurement sensitivity of the second sound measuring instrument satisfies a condition set in advance, and that when it is determined that the relationship does not satisfy the condition, notifies that it is unable to ensure measurement accuracy of biological sound or adjusts the measurement sensitivity of one or both of the first sound measuring instrument and the second sound measuring instrument.

Biological sound measuring device, method for operating biological sound measuring device, and program for operating biological sound measuring device

There is provided a biological sound measuring device that, in a contact state of being in contact with a body surface of a living body, measures a biological sound of the living body, the biological sound measuring device including: a first sound measuring instrument that is configured to measure the biological sound; a second sound measuring instrument that is configured to measure an ambient sound of the biological sound measuring device; and a controller that determines measurement accuracy of the biological sound in the first sound measuring instrument based on a difference in intensity at a predetermined specified frequency between a first sound measured by the first sound measuring instrument and a second sound measured by the second sound measuring instrument, and that performs notification when the measurement accuracy is less than a predetermined value.

An electrical toothbrush includes an electrical toothbrush main body including a drive source of a brush; an orientation sensor configured to detect an orientation of the electrical toothbrush main body; and a controller configured to switch an operation mode of the electrical toothbrush according to a result of comparing an orientation value, which is a value calculated from an output of the orientation sensor, and a threshold value set in advance. A threshold value used for switching determination from an operation mode to an operation mode, and a threshold value used for switching determination from the operation mode to the operation mode are set to different values.

A Nordic walking pole has a transmission device attached thereto and a switch thereof is pushed to transmit a signal indicating the start or end of Nordic walking. A pedometer receives the signal from the transmission device to thereby detect that the start or end of Nordic walking is instructed (S). Assuming that the Nordic mode is specified when the current walking mode is a normal walking mode, the parameter for Nordic walking is set as a parameter for the arithmetic operation (S). Assuming that the normal walking mode is specified when the current walking mode is a Nordic mode, the parameter for the normal walking mode is set as a parameter for the arithmetic operation (S).
