Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a health management system using body fluids and excreta and a method for treating body fluids and excreta.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Traditionally, diapers are used to treat body fluids such as menstrual blood and stool and urine of those who are difficult to get up to bed, such as bedridden elderly people who are difficult to get up. Absorbent articles are known and widely used as care products.
[0003]
However, absorbent articles such as diapers are basically kept in the place where body fluids are discharged, preventing adverse effects on the human body due to the generation of odors and bacterial growth, and when replacing them. Great efforts have been made to avoid contact with body fluids of caregivers and reduce inconvenience in handling. Efforts have also been made to avoid the occurrence of so-called diaper fogging and floor slippage in preparation for long periods of use and usage periods. In addition, with respect to absorbent articles such as diapers, various efforts have been made to reduce the environmental load caused by absorbent articles swollen after use.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Here, the treatment of body fluids and excreta is a problem, and it is very troublesome for caregivers. On the other hand, for doctors, it can be a very useful barometer for knowing the health condition. In this case, when these processes are performed with a diaper or the like, usually, the disposal process is merely performed, and thus useful information cannot be obtained therefrom.
[0005]
For this reason, it is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-136391 that a toilet device is provided with a health information measuring device such as a urine analyzer in order to manage a person's health using excrement. It has been put to practical use under the trade name “Well You”. However, when health management is performed using a toilet device, it is actually difficult to apply to elderly people and sick people who are difficult to move.
[0006]
In addition, since the toilet device is usually used by an unspecified number of people, it is virtually impossible to perform personal health management based on historical data. In other words, personal health management may be realized by inputting an ID code or the like to the subject, and then performing defecation or urination to perform measurement. It is a reality that it is not used much after all because the burden is great on the person.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and a first object of the present invention is to use data detected from bodily fluids such as menstrual blood, feces, and excrement such as urine discharged by humans. It is to provide a health management system that enables individual health management.
[0008]
