Abstract:
A mobile healthcare device and method of operating the same are provided. The method includes setting a mode of the mobile healthcare device to a measurement mode, displaying a screen for guiding a user to maintain a predetermined position during the measurement mode, and, in response to a predetermined amount of time passing from a time at which the screen begins to be displayed, obtaining state information of the user based on bio information of the user, the bio information being received from a sensor.
Abstract:
A wrist-wearable body composition measuring device includes a main body; a strap connected to the main body; a first input electrode and a first output electrode which are provided on an inner surface of the strap and configured to contact a wrist of a subject; a second input electrode and a second output electrode which are provided on an outer surface of the strap; a measuring unit configured to measure a body impedance of the subject by applying current to the first input electrode and the second input electrode and detecting a voltage generated between the first output electrode and the second output electrode in response to the applied current; and a processor configured to analyze a body composition of the subject based on the body impedance measured by the measuring unit.
Abstract:
The wrist-type body component measuring apparatus includes: a band configured to be worn on a wrist of a user; a first input electrode and a first output electrode disposed on an inside surface of the band and configured to be in contact with the wrist of the user; a second input electrode and a second output electrode disposed on an outside surface of the band; a measuring unit configured to apply a current to the first and second input electrodes and detect a voltage from the first and second output electrodes to measure a body impedance of the user; and an electrode converter configured to convert a disposition of the first and second input electrodes and the first and second output electrodes based on a determination of whether the band is worn on a left wrist or a right wrist of the user.

Abstract:
A method of measuring a bio signal using a bio signal measuring apparatus includes: positioning electrodes included as part of the bio signal measuring apparatus to contact a surface of an examinee; switching an impedance measurer included as part of the bio signal measuring apparatus and including a voltmeter and a current source; measuring a first impedance value of the examinee while operating the impedance measurer according to a first mode; switching the impedance measurer to a second mode; measuring a second impedance value of the examinee while operating the impedance measurer according to a second mode; and obtaining bio impedance of the examinee based on the first and second impedance values and an internal impedance of the current source.
Abstract:
Body composition measuring apparatuses and methods are provided. An impedance of an electric circuit including a body is different according to body composition. A normal-state impedance of the electric circuit and an impedance less than the normal-state impedance are determined. The determined impedances are analyzed to acquire skin hydration. A body fat ratio is acquired from the normal-state impedance.
