Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a diagnostic tool or device that can be used by patients to manage their own health.

There are many acupuncture points in the human body, especially in the inner wall of the auricle and in the part of the ear canal near the external ear canal, and by passing a weak electric current through these acupuncture points, we measure the resistance value, etc., or detect the presence or absence of pain sensation when the current is applied. It is known that diseases can be diagnosed by detecting the high frequency current generated when electricity is applied.

It is known that there are 97 acupuncture points on the inner wall of the auricle and in the vicinity of the external auricle, and by using these points, it is possible to diagnose 220 types of diseases.

However, searching for these acupuncture points requires a high degree of skill, and therefore, it has been impossible to use these methods easily for the purpose of diagnosing acupuncture or managing the health of one's family.

The present invention has been made from the viewpoint of the oblique, and its purpose is to enable ordinary people to use it at home or elsewhere under the guidance of a specialist, and to use it for health management of themselves or their families. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a diagnostic tool based on acupuncture points on the inner wall of the auricle.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

The drawing is a circuit diagram showing an embodiment of a diagnostic tool using acupuncture points on the inner wall of the auricle according to the present invention and a method of using the same. and a shape-molded holder that fits into the external ear canal, 3,3
When the diagnostic tool 1 is inserted into the auricle, an electric conductor 4 is located at a position corresponding to the acupuncture point of the patient and is arranged so as to be in contact with the acupuncture point 6 or to be brought into selective contact as necessary. , 4 is a lead wire, 5 is a cable, 6 is an electrode that comes into contact with the part 7 of the human body, -8, 9 and 10 are insertion resistors, 11 is a power source, 12
is a scanner, 13 and 14 are detectors, and 15 and 16 are monostables.

Elements, 17 are amplifiers, 1B, 19, 20 and 21
are different bird ring bells E1&, E19,
Schmitt trigger circuit with E20 and E21, 22
23 is a diagnostic device, 23 is a disease name display device, and 24 and 25 are push buttons that the patient should selectively press according to the strength of the pain sensation that the patient perceives when energizing.

The doctor then takes a mold of the patient's inner wall surface of the auricle and the vicinity of the external auricular foramen, produces a matrix, and attaches a desired number of conductors 3, 3 and lead wires 4, 4 to the auricle, so that the conductors correspond to the acupuncture points. The diagnostic tool 1 is manufactured by implanting and arranging it in a position where it can be contacted, molding it with a soft insulating material such as silicone rubber, and bonding and molding a large number of the electrical currents into a shape that integrally fits on the inner wall surface of the auricle.

Lead wires 4, 4 are connected in parallel to terminals of scanner 12 and diagnostic device 22.

When the patient places the diagnostic tool 1 into the valve, each
are brought into contact with the corresponding acupuncture points.

When the patient touches the electrode 6 to a part of his body, for example, his palm, and starts the scanner 12 and the diagnostic device 22, the scanner 12 sequentially energizes a large number of energizers 3, 3 according to a predetermined program.

The impedance of the human body differs depending on the energized acupuncture point and the type of disease, but the impedance can be detected using the current flowing through the insertion resistor 8 or the terminal voltage of the insertion resistor 8 as a parameter.

The terminal voltage of the insertion resistor 8 is amplified by an amplifier 17, and the Schmitt trigger circuit 18 or 2 is amplified according to the level.
Trigger 1.

The triggering levels E18 to E21 of the Schmitt trigger circuits 18 to 21 are E18<E19<E2o<E
2, and when the impedance of the human body is high and the current value is low, the Schmitt trigger circuit 18
As the impedance of the human body decreases and the current value increases, the Schmitt trigger circuit 19.
20 and 21 are triggered, and this information is sent to the diagnostic device 2.
2.

In addition, when a high frequency current with a specific frequency flows during energization,
The detection circuit 13 and/or 14 is activated and the monostable
Elements 15 and/or 16 emit output pulses which are also input to diagnostic device 22 .

Moreover, when the subject feels a stinging pain when energizing, he or she presses the push button switch 24 or 25 depending on the intensity of the stinging pain.

At this time, the diagnostic device 22 uses various information inputted diagonally, that is, scanning information, human body impedance, presence or absence of high frequency, and pain information, and detects the subject for each acupuncture point or when scanning of all acupuncture points is completed. The health status or disease basis of the patient is determined and the results are displayed on the disease name display device 23.

The result is usually displayed as a number, and the examinee refers to the attached codebook to learn about his or her health status.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is no need to search for acupuncture points in the auricle, and the current can be brought into appropriate contact with a desired acupuncture point by simply fitting the diagnostic tool into the auricle. The general public can easily manage their own health using acupuncture points in the auricle without requiring any special skill.

Furthermore, the diagnostic tool that is inserted into the auricle needs to have a shape that is suitable for each person using it. Since it is formed by integrally bonding and molding a soft insulator into a shape that fits into the inner wall surface of the auricle, it is easy to manufacture a tool with a desired shape that matches the shape of the inner wall surface of the auricle of each person. Can be done.

In addition, the shape of the auricle usually does not change much, so when you ask a specialist to make this diagnostic tool,
Since self-examination is possible over a long period of time and over a wide range, and the examination is also easy, implementing the present invention will be extremely effective in health management and health promotion of the general public.

Note that the configuration of the present invention is not limited to the diagonal embodiment. For example, a scanner etc. can be replaced with a manual or automatic changeover switch, and a disease name display device can be a typewriter, printer, etc. It is also possible to simply use a red lamp or the like to indicate an abnormality.
