Abstract

A wearable sensor includes: a base member that has a through hole serving as a flow path of liquid and a recess connecting with an end portion of the through hole on an outlet side; a water absorbing structure disposed on a surface of the base member on the outlet side to come into contact with the liquid flowing into the recess from an opening of the through hole on the outlet side; a laser diode that radiates light toward the liquid flowing into the recess from the opening of the through hole on the outlet side; and a photodiode that receives light from the laser diode transmitted through the liquid or light reflected by the liquid. An amount of perspiration of a wearer of the wearable sensor is calculated based on light receiving characteristics of the photodiode.
