ACQUISITION AND APPLICATION OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC SIGNAL BY NONCONTACT ELECTRODE IN HIGH CONCENTRATION CARBONATED SPRING BATH

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that, when noncontact electrodes to be arranged in a bathtub are used, a hot bath with general tap water or well water heated therein causes the large attenuation of an electrocardiographic signal, is largely affected by noise of a warm water fluctuation, and has a qualitative problem as waveform data though obtaining data to simply analyze a cardiac rate, since there are two methods, i.e., directly mounting a waterproof electrode on skin and using the noncontact electrodes under an unrestricted and nonconscious condition as the method for obtaining the electrocardiographic signal in bathing where a fatal accident tends to occur by a load on a circulatory system.;SOLUTION: In bathing with high concentration carbonate warm water, the electrocardiographic signal is obtained with the use of a plurality of anticorrosion electrodes arranged in a bathtub without newly adding an electrolyte. The obtained electrocardiographic data is secondarily used for abnormality alarm and long-distance medical care.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
