Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to sensors for measuring biological information by optical means in a non-invasive manner. Background technique
[0002] Conventionally, a ring sensor having a light-emitting part and a light-receiving part on the inner peripheral surface of the ring has been used to detect the pulse waveform by optical means.
[0003] It is known that among hemoglobin of blood, oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin differ in light absorption and transmission characteristics depending on the wavelength of light. Oxyhemoglobin absorbs more infrared light than red light, while the optical property of reduced hemoglobin is that it absorbs more red light than infrared light.
[0004] Therefore, by wearing a ring sensor on the finger and pressing the light receiving part and the light emitting part against the finger, a specific pressure is applied to the blood vessels on the finger in advance. During the vasoconstriction period, the amount of ...
