  The two microphones 13 and 14 detect the blood flow sound (blood vessel information) of the measurer, and the K sound detection circuit unit 60 detects the K sound from the blood flow sound and transmits the K sound signal to the control system 56. The control system 56 detects the Korotkoff sound, the generation point and the disappearance point of the Korotkoff sound from the input K sound signal. The noise sensor 15 detects vibration noise that enters the microphones 13 and 14 from the outside, and sends a noise signal to the control system 56 via the noise sensor detection circuit unit 61. Thereby, the control system 56 improves the accuracy of the K sound detection signal by removing noise from the K sound signal.

The pressure detection system 53 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is configured by a piping part 63, a pressure sensor 64, and the cuff 12 housed in the armband part 2. The pressure sensor 64 is electrically connected to the control system 56 via an amplifier, a filter, and an integration A / D unit 65. The control system 56 detects the K sound signal.
That is, after stopping the blood flow in the blood vessel by pressurization, the pressure is reduced, the pressure at the time when the first K sound signal when the blood flow again is detected is set to the maximum blood pressure value, and further the pressure reduction is continued. When the K cross section is sufficiently expanded and no K sound signal is detected, the pressure at the time when the last K sound signal is detected is set to the minimum blood pressure value. Further, the control system 56 calculates the pulse rate from the appearance interval of the vascular pulsation or the K sound signal obtained from the maximum blood pressure value and the minimum blood pressure value.

The pressurization system 51 includes pumps 44 and 45 and a pump drive unit 62. The drive unit 62 drives and controls the pumps 44 and 45 according to a command from the control system 56.

In step S10 shown in FIG. 6, the control system 56 ensures the medication time for the measurer by sounding an alarm (warning sound) or playing music through the speaker 43 when the medication time stored in advance is reached. Sound can be informed, prompting the measurer to take medication.

  In step S11, the measurer (user) tries to take medication, and in step S12, the measurer presses the medication button 39 shown in FIG. If the measurer has already taken the medicine in step S13, the process proceeds to step S14, and the control system 56 in FIG. 3 uses the speaker 43 to announce by voice whether or not the medicine is set in advance. The measurement person is notified of the fact that the patient has already taken the medicine, and the announcement is stopped in step S15.

  In step S13, if the measurer has not taken medicine yet, the process proceeds to step S16, and the control system 56 in FIG. . In step S17, the control system 56 in FIG. 3 uses the speaker 43 to announce by voice to the measurer that the armband 2 shown in FIG. Prompt. In step S18, the measurer starts blood pressure measurement after a few seconds.

In step S19, the control system 56 of FIG. 3 uses the speaker 43 to announce the systolic blood pressure value, the diastolic blood pressure value, and the pulse rate with a voice guide. The control system 56 of FIG. 3 also announces the highest blood pressure value and the lowest blood pressure value on the previous day (previous day) or the highest blood pressure value and the lowest blood pressure value of the previous year using the speaker 43. The control system 56 of FIG. 3 also announces whether or not it is a preset medication time using the speaker 43.
In step S20, the control system 56 of FIG. 3 stores the medication mark, blood pressure value, and medication time in the memory unit 69, and stops the operation.

  Accordingly, whether or not the measurer has taken the medicine can be stored in the memory unit 69 of the control system 56, and the blood pressure measurement and the medication can be linked together to surely measure the blood pressure. (Medicine) can be linked and managed.
