no. 1 approach

[0039] figure 1 It is a diagram showing a state where the biological information measurement device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is attached to the wrist of the subject 100 . in addition, figure 2 is a front view of the biological information measurement device 1, image 3 It is a rear view of the living body information measuring device 1 . The biological information measurement device 1 is a measurement device that non-invasively measures the biological information of a subject 100 (living body). The living body information measurement device 1, for example figure 1As shown, it is a wristwatch-type wearable device attached to the wrist of the subject 100 . For example, the biological information measurement device 1 is an optical sphygmomanometer, and as biological information, blood pressure and arteriosclerosis can be measured in addition to the pulse wave velocity.

[0077] Figure 7 It is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the living body information measurement device 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, components common to those of the first embodiment are given the reference numerals used in the first embodiment, and explanations thereof are appropriately omitted. In the living body information measuring device 2 of the second embodiment, the method of obtaining "the temporal change of the blood vessel cross-sectional area A" used in the calculation of the pulse wave velocity PWV is different from the method described in the first embodiment. In addition, in the living body information measurement device 2 of the second embodiment, the volume pulse wave can be measured as the living body information of the subject 100 . About the other parts other than the above two points, it is the same as the living body information measurement device 1 of the first embodiment. Fig...

[0099] Figure 11 It is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of the living body information measurement device 3 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, components common to those of the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals as those used in the first embodiment, and explanations thereof are appropriately omitted. The living body information measurement device 3 of the third embodiment measures the living body information of the subject 100 using LED (Light Emitting Diode: Light Emitting Diode) light instead of laser light. exist Figure 11 In the biological information measuring device 3 shown, with Figure 4 The illustrated living body information measuring device 1 is different in the irradiation control unit 412 , the optical sensor 52 (LED light emitting unit 512 and LED light receiving unit 522 ), the received light signal S2 , and the computing unit 424 .

Abstract

The invention provides a biological information measurement apparatus and a biological information measurement method. A biological information measurement apparatus includes an irradiation unit configured to irradiate a living body with light or sound waves as measurement waves; a detection unit configured to detect the measurement waves having passed through the inside of the living body; and a computational unit configured to obtain a change over time in blood flow rate and a change over time in blood vessel cross-sectional area based on a detection result from the detection unit, and to obtain a pulse wave propagation velocity from the change over time in blood flow rate or the change over time in blood vessel cross-sectional area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for measuring biological information. Background technique [0002] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a pulse wave velocity calculation device that attaches pulse wave sensors to at least two measurement sites such as a finger and a wrist, and calculates a pulse wave velocity using waveforms of pulse waves detected by the pulse wave sensors. [0003] prior art literature [0004] patent documents [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2011-24676 [0006] In Patent Document 1, the pulse wave propagation velocity is calculated from the difference in pulse wave propagation time between measurement sites. Therefore, when the distance between the measurement sites is short, the calculation accuracy of the pulse wave velocity decreases, making it difficult to downsize the device. Contents of the invention [0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstance...
