<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic blood pressure monitor which acquires more minute information if a subject shows a symptom of high blood pressure which occurs in the early morning hours by neither giving a feeling of a burden on the subject nor disturbing his/her sleep. <P>SOLUTION: The electronic blood pressure monitor includes a cuff mounted on an appropriate place of an auricle of an ear, a pressurizing means for pressurizing the cuff, a depressurizing-speed controlling means for controlling a depressurizing speed of inner pressure of the cuff, a pressure detecting means for detecting inner pressure of the cuff, a pressure determining means for determining the maximum blood pressure value (a systolic blood pressure value) and the minimal blood pressure value (a diastolic blood pressure value) based on output signals of the pressure detecting means during a process of depressurizing the inner pressure of the cuff, and a blood pressure measurement time setting means. The time set by the blood pressure measurement time setting means is set for a prescribed time before wake-up time to be set, and the pressurizing means pressurizes the cuff at 2-5 mmHg per second. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
