Health care gaming device and method using the same
First Claim
1. A health care gaming device, which measures pulmonary function and uses games for lung training, comprising:
- a case, which can be placed on a platform or handheld by an user;
at least one communicating tube provided in the case;
an inflow/outflow unit connected to the communicating tube, for the user to exhale and inhale gas;
at least one sensor connected to the communicating tube, for sensing gas inflow and outflow and detecting gas flow;
a processing unit connected to the sensor, for measuring pulmonary function and executing games;
a display unit connected to the processing unit; and
a keying unit connected to the processing unit, for the user to select functions of the gaming device, set game parameters, and play games;
wherein the sensor generates a sensed deformation due to gas flowing in the communicating tube;
the processing unit analyzes the sensed deformation and converts the analytical result to measurement data for pulmonary function or uses the analytical result as game data for proceeding games; and
the display unit displays the measurement data and game pictures.
