Abstract:
A photoelectric sensor retainer and a photoelectric pulse wave measuring apparatus including the same are provided. The photoelectric sensor retainer includes a sensor mounting unit on which a photoelectric sensor having a light-receiving surface is attachable and detachable, the light-receiving surface facing a measuring direction. The photoelectric sensor retainer further includes a pressing unit configured to press an upper surface of the sensor mounting unit in the measuring direction to apply pressure to the sensor mounting unit, and a pedestal including a seating plate configured to support the pressing unit, the seating plate having a principal plane perpendicular to a pressing direction of the pressing unit.
Abstract:
Provided is a blood pressure measuring apparatus, a wrist watch type terminal, and a method of measuring blood pressure. The blood pressure measuring apparatus includes a light source that emits light onto a living body, a light receiver that receives light from the living body, and a signal processing device that calculates the blood pressure based on a detected signal received from the light receiver, wherein the signal processing device includes a subtractor that obtains a subtraction value by subtracting a moving average value of the detected signal in a second duration which is shorter than a first duration from a moving average value of the detection signal in the first duration, an extractor that extracts a feature point of a pulse wave based on the subtraction value, and a converter that converts a feature amount obtained based on the feature point to a blood pressure value.
