Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a biometric sensor for detecting biometric data, a situation sensing module, memory, and a processor operatively coupled to the biometric sensor, the situation sensing module, and the memory. The processor can check whether a user is in an inactive state using the situation sensing module, check reference biometric data corresponding to the inactive state if the user is in the inactive state, extract biometric data of the user using the biometric sensor, and measure the blood pressure of the user on the basis of the extracted biometric data and the reference biometric data.
Abstract:
An apparatus for obtaining bio information includes: a first electrode portion including a current electrode and a voltage electrode arranged to contact a first body portion of a subject; a second electrode portion including a current electrode and a voltage electrode arranged to contact a second body portion of the subject; and a measuring unit configured to measure a bio impedance of the subject by applying a current to the current electrodes of the first and second electrode portions and detecting a voltage at the voltage electrodes of the first and second electrode portions. In order to decrease errors of a measured bio impedance, contact resistances of the first and second body portions of the subject contacting the current electrode and the first and second body portions of the subject contacting the voltage electrode are different from each other, for at least one of the first and second electrode portions.
