Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the subject needs to carry out daily life with the cuff attached to the upper arm and the main body of the blood pressure measurement device connected to the cuff attached to the body, which brings great obstacles to daily life.
In addition, sometimes the subject is burdened, that is, the upper arm is pressed every time the pressure is measured, and pain is felt, etc.

Embodiment Construction

[0068] First, the greatest feature of the present invention is that the tragus is used as a blood pressure measurement site. The reason why the tragus is selected as the blood pressure measurement site is that the tragus is relatively small as a part of the outer ear, and thus has the advantage of being able to reduce the size of the blood pressure detection unit. In addition, since the tragus is a part of the head, there is less positional variation, making it suitable for blood pressure measurement. In addition, the following advantages can also be cited: since the tragus is not used for purposes other than sound collection, the hoop bag is always installed even when sleeping, and there are fewer obstacles to daily life than fingers, etc. In addition, Since the blood pressure detection unit can be downsized, it is possible to reduce the degree of invasiveness that causes pain to the subject during blood pressure measurement.

[0069] Here, if the point of reducing pain duri...

Abstract

It is intended that, even in the case where outer and inner cuffs are brought into contact with the tragus in an even state and the cuffs are repeatedly attached after fixing the pinching width in the tragus, blood pressure can be accurately determined constantly without affected by the pinching width in the tragus and the tragicus depth. This object can be achieved by the constitution wherein the inner cuff and the outer cuff comprise each a cuff member (40) connected to a pipe (4) and a cuff bag (22) having a body (27), which is air-tightly fixed to the cuff member and inflates and deflates, and a press face (25) in a convex shape is formed at the cover (23) of the cuff bag.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cuff for measuring blood pressure and a blood pressure measuring device, and in particular relates to a technology using the outer ear and its surroundings as the site to be measured. Background technique [0002] Blood pressure fluctuates every moment in response to changes in the external environment and internal environment. Therefore, it would be ideal if the blood pressure can be continuously recorded one by one, but even if it cannot be recorded continuously, it is very important to carry out health management by regularly (intermittently) continuously measuring blood pressure throughout the day and measuring changes in blood pressure over time . [0003] In the case of regularly measuring blood pressure with a current blood pressure measuring device, for example, a cuff is wrapped around the upper arm of a subject to measure blood pressure. In this case, it is necessary to wear a large-sized cuff covering the...
