PULSE WAVE MEASURING MODULE AND PULSE WAVE MEASURING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To measure a pulse in reducing the effect of noise generating in everyday life. SOLUTION: A pressure measuring means 11 obtains several pressure measurements by measuring the pressures caused by contact in various locations including vascular position in human body and other positions. A blood vessel positioning means 129 determines the vascular position based on several pressure measurements. A first extract means 129 extracts at least a first pressure measurement value obtained in the vascular location determined from several pressure measurements. A first representative value determination means determines a first representative value from a first pressure measurement. The second extract means 129 extracts at least a second pressure measurement value obtained in a vascular location determined from several pressure measurements. The second representative value determination means determines a second representative value from a second pressure measurement. A difference calculation means 129 calculates a difference between the first representative value and the second representative value. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
