Abstract
A biological state monitoring system () for monitoring a biological state of a subject on a bed (BD) over a predetermined monitoring period, includes: at least one load detector () configured to detect a load of the subject on the bed; and a respiratory rate estimating unit () configured to successively obtain and output estimated values of a respiratory rate of the subject, based on a temporal variation of a detection value of the load detector. The monitoring period includes a body motion period in which the subject has a body motion, and a resting period in which the subject merely performs a respiration. In a case that the monitoring period shifts from a first resting period to the body motion period and then from the body motion period to a second resting period, the respiratory rate estimating unit outputs, in the body motion period and a predetermined period starting from the shifting from the body motion period to the second resting period, a last estimated value which is the latest among the estimated values obtained successively in the first resting period.
