Method and apparatus for detecting cardiovascular disease

摘要

A method is disclosed which comprises the steps of detecting a pulse wave of a user and measuring pulse wave information for a plurality of beats from the pulse wave; producing a statistical average of the measured pulse wave information; and determining whether the user has arrhythmia or high blood pressure based on the produced statistical average of the pulse wave information. And, an apparatus which comprises a detecting part which detects a pulse wave of a user and measures pulse wave information for a plurality of beats from the pulse wave; a memory device which stores the measured pulse wave information; and a determining part which produces a statistical average of the stored pulse wave information and determines whether the user has arrhythmia or high blood pressure based on the produced statistical average of the pulse wave information.
