Abstract

Today, much attention has been paid to the modern healthcare. Such attention has naturally led to the improvement of bio technology. Accordingly, there has been a trend toward growing IT convergence industries. Based on the sharp growth of IT and the development of BT as well as the healthcare applicable to the trend, men and women would be able to take pelvic floor muscle exercises effectively and correctly by themselves.

The Kegel medical equipments which are currently sold in the market make users exercise by giving electrical stimulations compulsively. Users need to take off their bottoms and take the Femcon therapy in a closed room. This causes various restrictions of time, space and hygiene.

This thesis designs a Kegel medical equipment which combines BT and IT, free from restraint in regard to space and hygiene, without the need to take off bottoms.
