<p>A blood-pressure estimating apparatus (10), comprising a pulse-wave detecting device (12, 16, 18, 24, 28, 90) which detects a pulse wave from a portion of a living subject; a blood-pressure measuring device (12, 18, 16, 24, 26, 28, 90, 92) which includes an inflatable cuff (12) adapted to be worn on the portion of the subject and measures, with the cuff, a diastolic blood pressure and a systolic blood pressure of the portion of the subject; and a mean-blood-pressure estimating means (94, 96) for converting, based on a minimum magnitude and a maximum magnitude of the pulse wave detected by the pulse-wave detecting device and the diastolic and systolic blood pressure measured by the blood-pressure measuring device, a magnitude of a gravity center of an area defined by the pulse wave into an estimated mean blood pressure of the portion of the subject. <IMAGE></p> |
