Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pulse wave measurement instrument of detecting whether or not noise components are superimposed on measured pulse wave data. SOLUTION: A data processor can perform noise detection for detecting whether or not the noise components are superimposed on pulse wave information detected with a pulse wave sensor by a built-in microcomputer. To put it concretely, pulse waves are measured for fixed time, velocity pulse waves are obtained by differentiating the pulse waves and the peak value of the amplitude of the velocity pulse waves to the pulses for each beat is calculated. Then, the calculated respective peak values are standardized and the dispersion of the standardized peak values is statistically processed and digitized. Then, whether or not the digitized dispersion of the peak values is smaller than a stipulated value is judged. It is judged that the noise components are not superimposed on the pulse wave information detected in the pulse wave sensor in the case of being smaller and it is judged that the noise components are superimposed on the pulse wave information detected in the pulse wave sensor in the case of being larger.

However, when the pulse wave sensor is used not only by an optical pulse wave sensor but also attached to a human body, the pulse is caused by body movements in daily life (hereinafter referred to as body movements). The wave sensor vibrates and becomes noise when a pulse wave is detected. In particular, when large joints such as shoulders and elbows move due to body movements, the blood flow itself may change and cause noise. Also, with an optical pulse wave sensor, it is difficult to completely block disturbance light such as sunlight or fluorescent light, so that a change in the disturbance light becomes noise, and a pulse wave with noise is generated. There was a problem of being measured. The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pulse wave measuring device capable of detecting whether a noise component is included in measured pulse wave data.
