Abstract: An example electronic device may include a detection circuit and a processor operatively connected to the detection circuit. The processor may be configured to obtain a first signal associated with an external object through the detection circuit; obtain a first HR, using a first filter having an attribute of a first frequency band; obtain a second HR, using a second filter having an attribute of a second frequency band, based at least on the first signal; change at least some attributes associated with the second filter, based at least on the first HR and the second HR; obtain a second signal associated with the external object through the detection circuit; and generate heart rate variability (HRV) information, using the second filter, in which the at least some attributes are changed, based on the second signal.

Abstract: A method of providing a medical image by using a medical imaging apparatus includes: acquiring blood vessel information indicating information about a blood vessel, the blood vessel being included in a medical image; and displaying the medical image. The blood vessel information includes at least one of a first diameter of the blood vessel, a first angle of the blood vessel, and a presence of at least one of bifurcation and crossover, in a first region of interest (ROI) with respect to a first position in the medical image. The acquiring of the blood vessel information includes acquiring blood vessel information corresponding to a second ROI with respect to a second position, based on the blood vessel information corresponding to the first ROI.
