PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove the complicated steps to determine an optimum position of a pulse wave sensor. SOLUTION: A sensor unit 1 is installed on one's wrist. A biological image information including the wrist is obtained with a camera 1B within the sensor unit 1 and the characteristics of the wrist surface are recognized from the image information. The distance of movement of the sensor is calculated from a relationship between wrist characteristic points of the recognized and the optimum sensor position given in advance. A sensor part 1A within the unit is moved by a motor 1C or the like in accordance with the calculated movement distance information. The information of inner artery pressures is obtained by pressing the moved pressure sensor array 11 against his body surface using a pressure cuff 13. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
