In an apparatus for measuring biological information using a radio wave, a technique for acquiring an index related to a setting position of the apparatus with respect to a measurement site is provided. A biological information measurement apparatus () according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a transmitter () configured to transmit a radio wave toward a measurement site of a living body; a receiver () configured to receive a reflected wave of the radio wave reflected by the measurement site and output a waveform signal of the reflected wave; a feature extraction unit () configured to extract information indicative of a feature of a waveform from the waveform signal; a determination unit () configured to determine whether a setting position of the biological information measurement apparatus with respect to the measurement site satisfies a condition corresponding to a preset reference position based on the extracted information indicative of the feature of the waveform; and an output unit () configured to output information indicative of a determination result determined by the determination unit.

Biological information measurement apparatus, method, and program

An embodiment of the present invention provides a sphygmomanometer that is worn on a measured part of the left wrist of a subject (user) for use. In the sphygmomanometer, on an inner peripheral surface of a band-like body that constitutes a base of a band, a portion for installing a pressure cuff and a protrusion for installing an antenna substrate are separately provided, and the pressure cuff and the antenna substrate are respectively installed on these portions.

Biological information measuring device

A sensor module that transmits at a predetermined transmission interval, via a network, data obtained by measurement to an externally installed information processing device sets, together with a nearby sensor module, a predetermined module group in which a plurality of sensor modules for transmitting measurement data according to data processing in the information processing device are put together. Then, together with the nearby sensor modules, one sensor module among the predetermined module group is set as a reference sensor module for which a transmission interval is maintained at a predetermined transmission interval, and transmission intervals of measurement data of sensor modules other than the reference sensor module are changed to a prolonged transmission interval that is longer than the predetermined transmission interval. With this, a reduction in power consumption is realized as much as possible in the sensor module that measures environmental parameters and transmits to the information processing device.
