PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bed device in which an elastic body unit can highly accurately collect biological information while maintaining feel of a bed which the elastic body unit originally has.SOLUTION: The bed device has: an elastic body unit provided with elastic bodies independent of one another and individually transformable at least one pressure detection part which is provided for the elastic bodies and detects pressure produced by a living body and a biological information notification means for notifying the biological information on the basis of a pressure signal of the living body output by the pressure detection part. Thereby, basic characteristic such as a natural lying posture and body pressure distribution property which the elastic body unit originally has can be exhibited as they are and the feel of the bed can be maintained maximally. Also, the pressure detection part is provided for the elastic bodies, is hardly affected by the elastic bodies where independent elastic bodies are adjacent to one another, so that the pressure signal from a specific part of the living body can be highly accurately detected.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】弾性体ユニットが本来持つ寝心地感を保ちながら、生体情報を高精度で収集することが可能なベッド装置を提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】本発明のベッド装置は、相互に独立し且つ個々的に変形可能な弾性体を備える弾性体ユニットと、弾性体に設けられ生体により発生する圧力を検出する少なくとも一個の圧力検出部と、圧力検出部から出力された生体の圧力信号に基づき、生体情報を検知する生体情報検知手段と、を有することを特徴とする。これにより、弾性体ユニットが本来持つ自然な寝姿勢や体圧分散性といった基本特性をそのまま発揮でき、寝心地感を最大限に保つことができる。また、圧力検出部は弾性体に設けられ、独立した弾性体同士が隣接した弾性体からの影響を受けにくく、生体の特定部位からの圧力信号を高精度で検出することができる。【選択図】図1
