Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2007527737
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention relates to a portable electronic device, like a shaver, a toothbrush, a walkman, a telephony unit, etc., said device being arranged to measure a signal representative of a physiological condition of a user during a conventional usage of said device. In an embodiment of the electric shaver ( 25 ), it is provided with a first contact surface ( 26 ) comprising a plurality of shaving heads ( 26 a, 26 b, 26 c). The shaving heads are manufactured from an electrically conducting material, usually a metal and are suited to provide a good electrical contact to the individual's skin during shaving, thus constituting a first electrode. The second contact surface ( 28 ') is provided on the housing of the shaver, in particular on a grip portion ( 28 ) thereof, where a contact to a hand of the individual is enabled. The second contact surface ( 28 ') comprises a second electrode ( 29 ). Additionally, the second contact surface ( 28 ') can comprise a further sensor ( 29 ') arranged to provide additional data on the physiological condition of the user. The signal measured from the electrodes is supplied to the input of the amplifier ( 30 ), which is preferably a differential amplifier. The signal from the differential amplifier ( 30 ) is then supplied to a band-pass filter ( 32 ), which is preferably set for the range of 0.02 Hz to 100 Hz. The limited amplified biosignal ( 33 ) is then forwarded to the analogue-to-digital converter ( 34 ). The digitized signal is then analyzed by the analysis means ( 35 ), the results of the analysis, comprising the deduced health-related parameter is being displayed on a display ( 36 ) of the electric shaver. Additionally the health-related parameter and/or the raw data are transmitted to a remotely arranged unit by a built-in transmission means ( 38 ). Preferably, the transmission means ( 38 ) comprises a wire-less transmitter.
