BODYWEIGHT MEASURING SCALE AND PULSE WAVE VELOCITY CAPTURING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to easily observe vascular stiffness and central blood pressure.SOLUTION: A bodyweight measuring scale comprises: a first sensor configured and arranged to capture a heartbeat curve of a user from at least one of the user's foots while the user is in an upright position on the bodyweight measuring scale; a second sensor configured and arranged to capture a pressure pulse from a femoral artery or a periphery artery distal from the femoral artery of the user while the user is standing on the bodyweight measuring scale; and a logic circuit configured and arranged to generate a pulse wave velocity of the artery of the user by comparing timings corresponding to the heartbeat curve and the pressure pulse.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1B
