<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathtub hemomanometer which measures a person's blood pressure in bathing in a bathtub at real time. <P>SOLUTION: The bathtub hemomanometer 1 comprises a pulse wave measuring means 3 for measuring a pulse wave in bather's buttocks, a palmus measuring means 2 for measuring bather's palmus timing, a propagation time derivation means 4 for comparing the pulse wave with the palmus timing to derive a pulse wave's propagation time from the heart to the buttocks, and a blood pressure derivation means 5 for deriving the blood pressure based on a predetermined first relation between the propagating speed and the blood pressure by deriving the propagation speed of the pulse wave from the propagation distance and the propagation time of the pulse wave from the heart to the buttocks. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
