  • Patent number: 12232660
    Abstract: There is provided a bathtub apparatus capable of satisfactorily detecting an electrocardiographic signal even in a state where water is being discharged into a bathtub by a water discharge device. The present invention is a bathtub apparatus (1) including a bathtub main body (2), a water discharge device (8) that discharges water toward inside of the bathtub main body and is provided above a first inner wall surface (2a) forming a short side of the bathtub main body, and electrodes (4a, 4b, 4c) attached to the bathtub main body to detect an electrocardiographic signal of a bathing person, where the electrodes are arranged on an inner wall surface of the bathtub main body, and are arranged closer to the first inner wall surface than a position (P) where water discharged from the water discharge device hits a water surface of the water stored in the bathtub main body.

  • Publication number: 20250032356
    Abstract: There is provided a bathtub apparatus in which a bather can confirm objective information in association with subjective information by history information based on a plurality of bathing histories. A bathing information system of the present invention includes a bather specifying unit, an information acquisition unit that acquires objective information, and program that controls a controller to store subjective information input by the bather in the controller, the program causing a controller to store a bathing history obtained by associating objective information A acquired by the information acquisition unit regarding specific bathing of a specified bather with subjective information B input by the bather specified for the specific bathing and causing the controller to implement an output function of outputting, to an output device, history information based on a plurality of bathing histories for the specified bather.

  • Publication number: 20240318866
    Abstract: The bathtub device of the present invention includes a water discharge part (8) provided on a bathtub main body, a circulation channel (4), a circulation pump (6) provided on the circulation channel, a temperature modification part (7), a sensing unit (22) for detecting a temperature of hot water in the bathtub main body, and a controller (16) for controlling the temperature of hot water, where the controller performs a water discharge temperature adjustment mode in which the temperature of hot water discharged from the water discharge part is reduced to within the predetermined temperature range, when the temperature is higher than an upper limit temperature of a predetermined temperature range, or a water discharge temperature adjustment mode in which the temperature of hot water is increased to within the predetermined temperature range, when the temperature is lower than a lower limit temperature of the predetermined temperature range.
