    Abstract: An electronic device and method for measuring biometric information are provided. The electronic device includes at least one light emitter; light receiver; and a processor. The processor is configured to emit light outside of the electronic device through the at least one light emitter, obtain, through the light receiver, light reflected by an external object among the emitted light, obtain a signal generated based on at least a portion of the reflected light and corresponding to the external object, output guide information related to a location of the external object when the signal satisfies a first designated condition, and obtain biometric information about the external object when the signal satisfies a second designated condition. When a finger of a user finger of the electronic device is not accurately located at a bio sensor, by guiding an accurate grip location, biometric information about the user can be accurately measured.

    Abstract: An electronic device for identifying occurrence of hypotension and a method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a user interface, a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor exposed through at least part of the housing, a motion sensor disposed in the housing, at least one processor operatively coupled with the user interface, the PPG sensor, and the motion sensor, and a memory operatively coupled with the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to, based on first data from the motion sensor indicating a change of a selected pattern, identify a blood pressure value based at least in part on second data from the PPG sensor, and based on the identified blood pressure value being lower than a first threshold, provide a notification through the user interface.
