    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring blood pressure includes: a pulse wave measurer including a first light source configured to emit a first light, a second light source configured to emit a second light, and a photodetector configured to measure a pulse wave signal of an object based on the first light emitted by the first light source onto the object and returning from the object; a force measurer configured to measure a contact force between the object and the pulse wave measurer; and a processor configured to control emission of the second light from the second light source based on the measured contact force, and configured to estimate blood pressure of the object based on the measured pulse wave signal and the measured contact force.

    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring bio-information may include a pulse wave sensor that may measure a pulse wave signal from an object in contact with a measurement surface. The apparatus may include a force sensor that may measure a contact force between the pulse wave sensor and the object. The apparatus may include a fastener configured to fasten the pulse wave sensor to an electronic device such that the pulse wave sensor is rotatable around a center axis in a length direction of the pulse wave sensor. The apparatus may include a processor that may determine a direction in which a measurement region of the pulse wave signal or the measurement surface of the pulse wave sensor is oriented, select a measurement mode from among a plurality of measurement modes, and estimate bio-information of the object.
